Panes of glass are missing from the Bus Station

Gale force winds battering Preston have caused damage to its iconic Bus Station.

Windows near Stands 28 and 29 at the grade II listed Bus Station have been blown in.

Glass is reportedly shattered across the waiting areas of the bus station and onto its apron.

A section of the bus station has been cordoned off from Sunday afternoon after the windows smashed.
