Ambulance Service warned people not to go out on the Lancashire coast | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
today after strong winds knocked over and injured six people. At one | :00:19. | :00:22. | |

the temptation proved irresistible. We just drove down from Manchester | :00:48. | :00:55. | |
to see the waves. Why are you out on a day like this? My mum's ashes are | :00:56. | :01:06. | |

hundreds of homes, blacked out after lines came down. In Ulnes Walton | :01:28. | :01:35. | |
near Leyland, it proved spectacular. It is like a scene out of a movie, | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
all the wires were arcing together with sparks everywhere. The kids | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
were frightened, we got them all in one room and just put the quilts on | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
the floor and all that. Around the coast at Barrow earlier today, I | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
house partially collapsed in the wind, roof tiles and bricks piled on | :01:58. | :02:00. | |

local DJ, as Naomi Cornwell reports. Spreading a little Christmas cheer | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
to those who might not otherwise get a chance to celebrate. Jon Besant, a | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
Manchester DJ enlisted 100 volunteers to buddy up with 100 | :02:52. | :02:54. | |

dinner, festive jumpers for all and rucksacks full of vital provisions, | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
donated by businesses. They need a lot of help. I couldn't do it by | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
myself. It provides me with clothing, food, I am very proud of | :03:35. | :03:43. | |
them. Tell them thanks from me, they had a brilliant job. The charity is | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
now urging anyone with unwanted presents to donate them at the | :03:47. | :03:49. | |

Greater Manchester. We could see some ice formation, some mist and | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
frostbite dawn tomorrow. The picture for tomorrow looks much better, | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
brighter and just more breezy as opposed to win the. Still one or two | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
showers tomorrow but we will get some good spells of sunshine in | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
