Heavy showers have led to flash flooding, causing disruption on roads in and around Norwich.

Norfolk Fire Service said it was attending 16 incidents in the city centre, Sprowston and Old Catton, and part of the inner ring road is flooded.

Castle Quarter shopping centre had to partially close because of water getting in, but said its vaccination centre remained open.

Kevin Milner, who is working in the city, said it was "torrential rain".
