Reports of lots of trees coming down around Merseyside.  Also trains affected on wirral lines too. Seaforth docks von lockdown 

[Chris.R]

In the 12 years I've lived here I've never lost a tree in the immediate area. Must be an interesting spectacle though. 

[I Cumbria Marra I]

Just slightly breezy here, which is mental considering IOM has just recorded a gust of 69mph

That's not ideal, brick walls shouldn't come down like that even in winds like this. A bit like that relatively newbuild school that had a whole wall of bricks fall down last winter.
