A police presence remains outside HMP Bedford where hundreds of inmates rioted.

The disturbance on Sunday saw officers from across the country brought in to control the prisoners, who had taken over two wings.

Scores of inmates reportedly flooded onto the prison's gangways in chaotic scenes at about 17:00, with control restored by midnight.

Police and specially-trained officers were called to the Category B prison amid reports of loud bangs or explosions coming from inside.
