Artillery shells and a mortar found on a beach have been detonated in a number of controlled explosions.

The items were found at Drigg, in Cumbria, by a member of the public on Thursday, with Whitehaven’s Coastguard Rescue Team was called out to investigate.

Returning to the spot on Friday, along with Millom Coastguard Rescue Team and bomb disposal experts from the Royal Navy in Faslane, three explosions were carried out.

In all, there were seven artillery shells and one mortar.
