The Ribble has been placed on floor alert for the last few weekends, with the Brockholes Nature Reserve regularly being closed due to a risk of flooding.

Dramatic footage showed the height of the Ribble last Saturday and Sunday as it swelled due to heavy rainfall.

The Environment Agency issued the warning on Saturday afternoon and it remained in force until mid-morning on Sunday.
