Strong winds have battered Sussex today, causing trees to fall and street lights to sway from side to side.

Incredible footage recorded by reader Steven Jackman, of North Farm Road, Lancing, shows lampposts on the seafront shake uncontrollably.

And some roads have been closed off due to fallen trees.

The B2036 London Road in Burgess Hill is closed both ways and the A281 at Woodmancote is blocked, according to traffic reports.
