A major incident has been declared on the Isle of Man after severe flooding left people trapped in their homes.
The village of Laxey was cut off for a time when the river burst its banks and poured into the streets.
With “no safe access to the village by sea or road for a time”, a UK Coastguard helicopter was sent to the scene and remained on stand-by for several hours, said a government spokesman.
