The earthquake caused damage to homes in South Yorkshire

People in Newcastle, Yorkshire, London, Cumbria, the Midlands, Norfolk and also parts of Wales, felt the tremor just before 0100 GMT.
A man suffered a broken pelvis when a chimney collapsed in South Yorkshire.
The British Geological Survey (BGS) said the epicentre of the 5.3 magnitude quake was near Market Rasen in Lincolnshire.
Philip Norton, a BBC reporter for Look North in Hull, said: "Everything started wobbling.
"The windows were rattling and the blinds were visibly moving. It sounded like the roof was coming in."
BBC reporter Lynn Crombie in Norwich said she was "absolutely terrified" and thought somebody "had driven into the side of the house".

These are testing times in the uk as our defences are tested, as the london barrier blocks the tidal wave trying to reach buckingham palace & kill the Queen, the leader of the free world.

God Save the Queen
