A pub has been praised for its generosity in helping anyone needing a place to stay if they've found themselves stranded or unsafe in Storm Arwen.
The Brewers Arms, in Berwick-on-Tweed, Northumberland, has invited anyone to go in as they have set up a 'make shift shelter' with the heating on and soup available.
Offering the pub out to people on social media, the owners wrote: "If anyone is stranded in these winds or their house is unsafe I can go and set up some kind of make shift shelter in the pub. Please don't be stuck or in trouble or frightened."

Another person added: "Absolute Godsend. We would have been completely stranded without the lovely ladies here. The only ones not to sleep, everyone else has managed to get their heads down safe under their careful watch. Thank you so much."
A third commented: "Margaret you are such a kind and generous lady. Thank you for supporting your community as always. I hope everyone is safe in our beloved Berwick. It's definitely a wild one."
