A woman's body discovered on a beach in Norfolk is not thought to be linked to Storm Babet, police have said.

Officers were called to Seagate Road in Hunstanton at about 23:45 BST on Friday after a member of the public reported finding a body opposite the Sea Life centre.

Norfolk Constabulary said it was treating the woman's death as unexplained.

The force added that while formal identification was yet to take place, officers believed they had identified the woman.

A post-mortem examination is due to take place in the next few days.

Storm Babet swept across England on Friday causing extensive flooding to some areas, including in Norfolk.
