An object thought to be an unexploded World War II bomb has been found and blown up on a beach in west Dorset.
The device was discovered on Chesil Beach by a passer-by on Monday afternoon and reported to Portland Coastguard who alerted Dorset Police.
A car park near the main road between Portland and Weymouth was cordoned off and bomb disposal experts called in.
A controlled explosion was carried out on the beach at about 0820 BST, a coastguard spokesman said.
