Storm Kathleen: NI travel disrupted by strong winds

Storm Kathleen has brought strong winds to Northern Ireland, disrupting road, sea and air travel.

It took down several trees, damaged power lines and blew part of the roof off the Titanic Belfast visitor centre.

A number of flights and ferry services were cancelled on Saturday, and in Belfast passengers faced a challenging landing on a morning flight from London.

So far the strongest wind has been recorded at 69mph (111 km/h) at Orlock Head in County Down.

A Met Office yellow warning for strong winds is in place until 22:00 BST.
