Homes have been washed into the sea in the most serious tidal surge to hit Britain for more than 60 years.
The houses in Hemsby, Norfolk, were ripped from their precarious cliff top position, as the sea rose to levels even higher than those which caused the devastating floods of 1953.
Sea defences are estimated to have protected more than 800,000 homes but some barriers were breached as the tidal surge combined with high tides and strong winds.
