Islanders have been sharing their memories of the 1987 Great Storm, on its 30 year anniversary.

On the night of 15th and in early morning of 16th October, 18 people were killed and 15 trillion trees were destroyed as winds gusting up to 100 mph hit the south of England, the Channel Islands and Northern France.

Although many say they slept through it and woke in the morning to see the aftermath, others have shared their memories of that day.
