More cold weather is on the way, as the Met Office has issued yellow weather warnings with ice, snow and cold expected across parts of the UK.

Parts of eastern Scotland, north-east England and Yorkshire are expected to experience ice, snow and hail showers from 8pm tonight.

Temperatures are predicted to be half those reached last week, when many areas felt sunshine and highs of 20C.
