HUGE waves have battered Brighton Marina as Storm Eunice continues to hit Sussex.

A video taken on Friday afternoon shows large waves crashing into the marina.

During the storm, homes have been left without power, flights and trains have been suspended and roads, schools and businesses have closed.

Potentially record-breaking gusts of more than 120mph have been recorded in the most exposed areas.

A number of fish have also been stranded on beaches amid stormy conditions caused by the storm.

One photograph shows a sea creature stranded on the pebbles on Brighton beach, near the West Pier, while another fish was found by a walker near the undercliff in Saltdean.

Brighton and Hove City Council have urged the public to stay away from the seafront, as “flying peddles” could cause injury.

Sussex Police previously issued a statement warning the public of dangerous conditions.

“Expect significant disruption and dangerous conditions,” a police spokesman said.

"Avoid non-essential journeys. Flying debris and falling trees are likely."

Amid the chaos, emergency services were forced to issue warnings for people to stay away from the worst affected areas.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson said: “We should all follow the advice and take precautions to keep safe.”

Roy Stokes from the Environment Agency said it was “probably the most stupid thing you can do” to travel to the most exposed places.

Several red warnings were issued in late February and early March 2018 during the so-called “Beast from the East”, the storm that brought widespread heavy snow and freezing temperatures to many parts of the UK.
