Second World War shells found washed up on a beach have been destroyed in a series of controlled explosions.
About eight rusty casings were found by a walker on Wednesday afternoon, washed up near Beachy Head.
Naval explosives experts were called in to detonate the shells as a precautionary measure late yesterday afternoon.
A spokeswoman for Dover Coastguard said: "It doesn't happen very often but occasionally we do get quite a few washed up at once."
