River protest

A 91-year-old was among flood victims who mounted a demonstration in a river with the level down in support of demands for urban flood defences.

A year on from floods which caused £5 million damage to homes and businesses in Pickering, North Yorkshire, pensioner Topsy Clinch, along with fellow flood victims Gordon Clitheroe and Kath Grayston, set up a living room in Pickering Beck.

The protest happened at 10am next to the Beck Isle Museum which was one of 100 homes and businesses devastated by flooding a year ago.
