Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue Service have evacuated more than 10 people and a few dogs trapped in the flood waters in Cumbria.

John Cook Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue Service said they have been dealing with six to seven feet of flood waters after the storm Desmond.

Thousands of people were forced from their homes overnight and many homes lost power the north western part of England.

Emergency services in Lincolnshire are used to dealing with flood water - as it's exactly two years since they suffered the worst tidal surge in decades.
