A wedding ceremony due to take place at a hotel in Cambridgeshire had to be cancelled after explosives were found.

Police were alerted to the incident by the fire service at about 0930 BST.

A Cambridgeshire Police spokeswoman said: "The hotel and adjacent pub have been closed to public access as a precaution.

"A specialist explosives unit is on its way to the scene."
