Images from behind the cordon at a village in east London show the damage and devastation caused by the fire which broke out during last week's heatwave. Several houses were destroyed and others severely damaged in Wennington after grass fires broke out.

Firefighters have spent the last five days damping down the embers and the ashes to ensure there are no lingering hotspots which could start the fire again.

Firefighters were inundated with calls all around the country, with one fire chief calling the"brutal" day a"game-changer" and a preview of the effects of climate change. "We see it in France, we see in Spain, places like that... but all of a sudden now you're looking across this scene."
