gale

The scandals surrounding the King's brother Andrew have been like a howling gale in recent weeks, but this was a moment of quiet and stillness.

In the wake of Storm Benjamin, the UK will come under the influence of a brisk northerly wind, which could reach gale force at times along eastern counties on Saturday.

It was a bitterly cold, windy day, and smaller boats had been banned from going out, but this trawler was deemed sturdy enough to withstand the gales.

There is also the threat of gales around Irish Sea coasts.

Winds will also strengthen during midweek, particularly in the north of the UK with the chance of gales in northern Scotland by Thursday.
