Storm Dennis is causing a second weekend of disruption with bad weather wreaking havoc across the UK.

A body has been recovered off the coast of Kent following an extensive search operation as heavy rain and strong winds struck the country.

The Ministry of Defence (MoD) has deployed British Army personnel to assist people in West Yorkshire, which was badly hit by flooding during last weekend's Storm Ciara.
