Flood alert community pulls together

As thousands of people have been evacuated from their homes ahead of a coastal surge, the community in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, has pulled together to help those more vulnerable.

Local people are assisting the elderly to get sandbags in place to help protect their properties and 200 troops are in the town to help the emergency services advise those directly affected by the potential floods.

"It's just nice that everyone is helping everyone out," said one resident.
