Residents have started a clean-up operation after about 40 houses in a Hampshire town were flooded following heavy rainfall.

There were reports of 5ft (1.5m) of floodwater in some homes, which submerged cars parked outside. Fire and rescue crews from across the county were drafted in to help.
Homes were also flooded on the Isle of Wight, roads were closed and two schools were forced to shut. Several other flooding incidents were reported in Denmead and Hayling Island in Hampshire.
