Storm Darragh has knocked out power for thousands of homes, cancelled events, disrupted travel networks and forced the Cabinet Office to urge 3 million people to stay at home, as bracing winds and heavy rains hit Northern Ireland, England and Wales hard.
A red warning for wind, signalling “danger to life”, was issued by the Met Office for parts of Wales and south-west England on Saturday.
