Snow fell in London last night for the first time in October since 1934.

Snow and sleet also fell in northern Scotland and south-east England as temperatures plunged to -4C in parts of Britain.

Football matches were either postponed or abandoned at Luton, Northampton, Walsall and Wycombe because of the weather conditions.

Sky weather presenter Denise Nurse said: "It's highly unusual to have snow in October - we haven't seen October snowfall in London since 1934.

"It will stay cold for the next few days but the weekend so far is looking great!"
