An emergency caused by an unexploded bomb dating back to World War Two has ended.

Workmen raised the alarm after diggging up the mortar bomb in Moneymore, County Londonderry, at 1100 GMT on Friday.

Army bomb experts were sent to the scene and a number of homes were evacuated while an exclusion zone was set up around the Station Road area.

After tests were carried out, the bomb was found to be incapable of exploding, and the area has returned to normal.
