A UK town has been left submerged underwater after it was hit hard by major floods.
The town of Tewkesbury in Gloucestershire was battered by floods in recent days, leaving parts of it completely submerged.

The southwest was particularly badly hit with warnings issued around the River Severn.

Much of the flooding was in well-used flood plains around the town.
Tewkesbury Abbey was among the buildings completely surrounded following the flooding, as well as the cricket club pavilion.
Storm Gerrit has been followed by Storm Henk which has been battering Britain today.

The warning is due to be in place until 8pm tonight and could cause disruption to travel and utilities.
The weather service said: “A spell of very strong winds will affect parts of southwest England and south Wales late morning and early afternoon, then parts of southern England, the south Midlands and East Anglia during the afternoon and evening.
“Gusts of 70-80mph are likely on exposed coasts in the west. Inland, gusts of 50-60mph are more probable, but perhaps briefly 60-70mph in one or two places.”
The Environment Agency confirmed a staggering number of 109 flood warnings and 286 flood alerts were in place across England, with 38 in Wales and six in Scotland.
The bad weather is expected to continue into the rest of the week.
Regarding tomorrow’s forecast, the Met Office said: “Rain across northern and eastern Scotland will ease.
“Otherwise tomorrow will be a day of sunny spells and blustery showers, heavy with hail and thunder in the south and west.”
Concerning the rest of the week, the forecast added: “Whilst scattered heavy showers are still possible to end the week, this period will be drier and less windy than of late. Turning colder with overnight frosts becoming more likely.”
