The sad scene at Holyhead Marina in North Wales this morning
Force 12 winds that battered Holyhead Marina, Anglesey have left the marina 'in bits' and boats berthed in the North Wales facility are reported as 'lost'.
The sad scene became apparent at first light this morning. It is understood yachts in the marina that were involved in the winter racing series were sunk and there is very little left of the marina itself.
The video below was taken at 08:38 this morning.
The Holyhead lifeboat was moved to the inner harbour for continuing service.
