About 13,000 customers were left without power in Kent, Sussex and Surrey after storms on Saturday.

On Sunday, UK Power Networks said the number had been "significantly reduced", although about 1,100 customers were still affected.

Fire crews from East and West Sussex said they took dozens of weather-related calls on Saturday afternoon and early evening.

Surrey Fire and Rescue said its control room took a series of calls reporting fallen trees and damaged roofs across the county.
