A major incident has been declared in South Yorkshire as Storm Christoph is set to bring widespread flooding to parts of England.

The Met Office issued an amber weather warning for rain in Yorkshire and the Humber, the North West, East Midlands and the east of England.

The Environment Agency said the combination of heavy rain and snowmelt created a "volatile situation".

Sandbags were laid in at-risk areas, with up to 70mm (2.75in) of rain due.

In isolated spots, particularly in the northern Peak District and parts of the southern Pennines, 200mm (7.87in) could be possible.
