Four people have been arrested after more than 100 people demonstrated against nuclear weapons at a US airbase in Suffolk.

The protest at RAF Lakenheath, near Bury St Edmunds, was organised by the Lakenheath Action Group - which has campaigned at the base for six years.

Police said the protest was generally peaceful, but four people were arrested for breaching bail conditions.

Police added the four had been taken to Bury St Edmunds Police Station.
