Sussex Police has thanked people in Pagham for their patience and understanding during a 40-hour stand-off which caused 'considerable disruption' for local people.

It began at a house on Harbour Road just after 4pm on Sunday.

Specially-trained officers negotiated with the pensioner, before he walked out of the house this morning.
