In pictures: Storm Eunice's sea surges, fallen trees, flying sheds

One of the worst storms to hit Wales in a generation has caused power cuts, forced schools to close and blown over large trees and lorries.

Around the coast, large sea surges have been seen in places such as Porthcawl, Aberystwyth and Holyhead.

Here are some pictures showing the impact of Storm Eunice, which brought a rare red weather warning.
