A 500kg Second World War bomb found in the River Thames near London City Airport, causing dozens of flights to be cancelled, has been detonated under water.
The Royal Navy’s first attempt to conduct a controlled explosion had been cancelled as strong winds and a large sea swell posed a risk to divers.
