Clean-up efforts after the destruction of Storm Eunice were hindered by wet, windy and in some places snowy weather moving in over the weekend in the UK.
Repairs were needed to roofs and walls that had failed to stand up to strong gusts on Friday.

The Association of British Insurers warned previous similar storms have cost around £360 million (€432 million) in repairs, although the impact of Eunice is still being assessed.
A spokesperson said: “No two storms are the same. The last significant storms to hit the UK – Ciara and Dennis – led to insurers paying out over £360 million.”
