As many as 35,000 people were affected by flooding in Hull, with areas across the city inundated. More than 10,000 homes were evacuated and many schools were closed.

Hull City Council says 35,000 people have been affected

It could cost more than £200m to repair the damage to schools, public housing, doctor's surgeries, roads and leisure centres, said Hull City Council leader Carl Minns.

Hull was the "forgotten city" of the floods, said Mr Minns. An appeal, the Hull Flood Fund has been set up.

Visiting the victims, the Archbishop of York, Dr John Sentamu, said: "The poorest, the most vulnerable people on very low incomes - when these things hit them, it hits them hard."

Mike Barnett, 28, died from hypothermia after his foot became trapped in a drain, in neck-high waters in the Hessle area. His family said not enough was done by rescuers to save him.

DONCASTER

Prince Charles visiting flood-hit areas in Doncaster

More than 700 people have been unable to return home following flooding in Doncaster. Some may never be able to return, the town's mayor Martin Winter said.

"It's been an incredibly difficult time for the people of Doncaster, who in some cases have lost everything they had," Mr Winter said.

Prince Charles visited residents in the badly affected Toll Bar area of Doncaster, to see the scale of the flood damage.

At the peak of the floods, 52 schools were closed in the town - affecting 24,000 children.
