Stafford has been deluged by the almost never-ending rainfall this weekend - with flooded scenes captured in and around the town by freelance photographer Ian Knight.

Cars have been spotted surrounded by water, footpaths closed and shopping centres hit by the wet stuff too.

The rainfall has eased off across the West Midlands today  but the latest Met Office forecast shows there's a 70% chance of rain at 3pm, rising to 80% at 4pm and 5pm - then easing again.
