Storm Ciaran in pictures: Flooded streets and huge waves as parts of England hit by high winds and driving rain | UK News

Amber warnings were in effect from Storm Ciaran, which brought hurricane-force winds and destroyed an 180-year-old cottage.

The storm, the second to hit the UK in the last month, has caused major disruption and flooding in the south of the country.

While weather warnings for the south of England have now expired, some yellow alerts from the Met Office are still in place throughout the rest of the week.

Pictures taken today showed the impact of Storm Ciaran on the worst-hit parts of the UK. In Newhaven, large waves were seen cresting near the top of a lighthouse, while gusts up to 63mph hit Sussex.

Meanwhile, the northeast of England also saw impacts with roads in Whitley Bay flooded.

Waving a Palestinian flag on British streets ‘may not be legitimate’, Suella Braverman warns | UK News

Waving a Palestinian flag on British streets “may not be legitimate” if it is done to show support for acts of terrorism, the home secretary has told police chiefs.

In a letter to chief constables across England and Wales, Suella Braverman urged officers to use the “full force of the law” against shows of support for Hamas following its unprecedented attack against Israel.

It comes after vigils were held in Westminster for Israeli civilians killed and held captive, while pro-Palestinian rallies took place outside the Israeli embassy in Kensington.

Ms Braverman said targeting Jewish neighbourhoods, waving pro-Palestinian or pro-Hamas symbols, and chanting anti-Israeli slogans could all amount to public order offences.

Hamas has been proscribed as a terrorist organisation by the UK and many other Western nations, including the EU and the US.

Because of this, she reminded police forces that it is a criminal offence for people in the UK to:

• Belong to Hamas or invite support for the group

• Wear clothing in public that suggests they are a member or supporter of Hamas

• Publish images of flags or logos linked to the organisation

“At a time when Hamas terrorists are massacring civilians and taking the most vulnerable (including the elderly, women, and children) hostage, we can all recognise the harrowing effect that displays of their logos and flags can have on communities,” Ms Braverman wrote.

She added unrest in the Middle East has previously been used “as a pretext to stir up hatred against British Jews” – and there is an “obvious risk this pattern will be repeated during the current conflict”.

“In the past, this has included vandalism of Jewish businesses, desecration of memorials and religious sites, physical and verbal abuse of Jews on the streets, convoys driving through Jewish neighbourhoods hurling antisemitic abuse, and proliferation of antisemitism online,” she warned.

On Monday, a kosher restaurant in Golders Green – an area of north London with a significant Jewish population – had its windows smashed and a cash register stolen, while “Free Palestine” was daubed on a nearby railway bridge.

The graffiti is being investigated as a potential hate crime by the British Transport Police, with local authorities describing it as a “deliberate attempt to intimidate the Jewish community”.

Ms Braverman went on to stress online offending must be treated as seriously as offline incidents – and all perpetrators must face “heavy criminal consequences” to prevent future incidents and ensure Jewish communities feel safe.

“There can be no place for antisemitism or glorification of terrorism on the streets of Britain,” she added.

Key moments of King’s accession

King proclaimed in historic ceremony

On Saturday, Charles III was officially proclaimed King in an ancient ceremony at St James’s Palace in London.

The Accession Council meeting took place in front of Privy Counsellors including Prince William, the Archbishop of Canterbury and six former prime ministers.

Standing before the throne, the King said his mother’s reign was “unequalled in its duration, dedication and devotion”.

The ceremony included trumpeters, a rendition of the national anthem and “three cheers for the King”. An hour later, a second proclamation was read at the Royal Exchange in the City of London.

Prince Andrew and the Queen’s other children and grandchildren had earlier come together to look at the flowers left for the Queen at Balmoral.

“We’ve been allowed one day, now we start the process of handing her on,” Andrew said as he thanked well-wishers.

Several members of the family were seen wiping away tears as they read the public’s messages.

There was also a touching tribute from Prince William as the new heir paid tribute to his “Grannie” in a statement published on Twitter.

“She was by my side at my happiest moments. And she was by my side during the saddest days of my life,” he said.

“I knew this day would come, but it will be some time before the reality of life without Grannie will truly feel real.”

The prince said he was grateful his children got to spend precious years in her company, creating “memories that will last their whole lives”.

‘Fab Four’ together again to meet crowds

Princes set aside rift in show of unity

However, it was an unscheduled event that made most newspaper front pages on Sunday – with William and Prince Harry seemingly putting aside their rift to meet the public in Windsor.

The brothers were joined by Kate and Meghan and the couples greeted people for over 45 minutes on the town’s Long Walk.

It’s understood Prince William reached out to his brother with the hope of putting on a show of unity after their much-publicised falling out of the last few years.

The King had set the tone on Friday when he stopped outside Buckingham Palace to meet the public – a move that was widely praised – and one he repeated on Saturday near Clarence House.

One of his first engagements is an audience with the Commonwealth secretary-general at Buckingham Palace on Sunday, before later meeting high commissioners from countries where he is head of state.

Looking ahead to next week, the Queen’s coffin will be taken to Buckingham Palace after it lands in London on Tuesday, allowing staff to pay their respects.

It will then be taken to Westminster Hall on Wednesday, and on Thursday four clear days of lying in state begin – with hundreds of thousands expected to file past the coffin.
