A suspected Second World War bomb has been pulled from the River Thames.

The operation to recover the unexploded device near the Houses of Parliament led to disruption in central London on Thursday night.

Westminster underground station was closed and river traffic was halted after the bomb was dredged up near the Victoria Embankment.

The Waterloo and Westminster bridges were also forced to close for several hours after the discovery.
