Police divers search Ramsgate harbour for weapon used in fatal taxi driver attack
Police divers and a search and rescue team combed Ramsgate Royal Harbour on Monday 24 August 2026, hunting for the weapon used in an attack that killed one man and left another taxi driver seriously injured. Pictures show a dive tent pitched on a pontoon beside a moored yacht, a diver in the water alongside inflatable lift bags, and officers working the harbour wall behind blue and white cordon tape strung along the railings. A search and rescue support van is parked on the quay beside the fish stall, with police standing in a group at the tape line and a small crowd watching from the pavement. One frame catches a man in dark uniform raising his arm over the water towards the dive team. The contributor says the killing happened in the early hours of Sunday morning, that officers were seen making throwing gestures at the water and dropping markers, and that a robotic instrument was later used to search beneath the surface. The first frame in the set was taken on the evening of Sunday 23 August, with the search sequence running from 10.21am to 1.38pm the following day.
Fire tears through New Malden house as embers rain over neighbouring rooftops
Fire tore through a house on Mount Pleasant Road in New Malden on the evening of Saturday 22 August 2026, throwing showers of embers high above the surrounding rooftops. Pictures taken at 9.46pm show flames breaking through the roofline of the property while three onlookers stand in the road watching, and a fire engine on scene with its blue lights running and a hose run out across the carriageway. The contributor says neighbours and children were evacuated from their homes as firefighters tackled the blaze. They say the property is known locally for the quantity of items kept in its front garden and out onto the road and pavement, including old engines, car batteries left charging, live wires and unidentified car fluids, and that the fire brigade has been called to the same address for a major fire before. One resident watching in the street said: "It's not him again is it".
Van engulfed in flames at the side of the M1
A van burns out at the side of the M1, filmed at night from a passing car. The white panel van is stopped hard against the nearside barrier with its cab and front end fully alight, flames climbing well above roof height and lighting the trees on the embankment. It sits alongside a blue SOS sign marking an emergency area 300 yards ahead. No fire crews or police are on scene in either clip, and other traffic is still moving past. The contributor filmed it while driving past. He says it was a big fire and that he does not know what caused it. Two clips, 14 seconds and 3 seconds, filed to PressApp at 00.54 BST on Sunday 23 August 2026. The contributor has not given an exact time of filming or a junction number.
Field fire burns beside homes at Norton in Stourbridge as smoke drifts over housing estate
A large field fire burned beside a housing estate at Norton in Stourbridge, West Midlands, on 15 August 2026, sending a thick smoke plume drifting over homes. Aerial drone footage looks down on the burning field, the smoke crossing the rooftops and the scorched stubble left behind on a clear summer day. The camera holds on the fire for four minutes and twenty two seconds without a cut, covering it as it was left to burn. The contributor says the footage was shot before emergency services arrived.

The fire front and the ground it has already burned are held in a single unbroken run of just over two minutes. The contributor says the footage was shot before emergency services arrived.

Aerial views of fire-destroyed houses and scorched fields at Norton, Stourbridge, on 15 August 2026
Detached houses burnt down to their brick shells beside blackened fields at Norton, Stourbridge, West Midlands, on 15 August 2026. The set runs to 14 drone stills shot from directly overhead and from lower oblique angles, with 12 frames carrying GPS fixes that step eastwards across roughly six minutes of flying. The sequence moves from wide views of scorched arable land running up to a farm and to the edge of housing, in to close overhead frames of gutted properties with roofs gone, floors collapsed and rubble across the drives. Several frames show burnt-out houses standing immediately alongside homes that appear untouched, with hose lines still lying across paths and gardens and burnt ground reaching to garden fences and an emptied swimming pool. All frames were shot on a DJI drone at a 7mm wide setting, which is what puts whole streets and the surrounding burnt fields in one picture.
Partial solar eclipse over Hampstead Heath, north London, Wednesday 12 August 2026
The partially eclipsed sun over north London on the evening of Wednesday 12 August 2026, photographed from Hampstead Heath. Seven frames were shot on a Sony ILCE-7RM4 with a 70-200mm lens at its 200mm end, between 6.01pm and 7.18pm BST. The sequence opens on the full, uneclipsed disc at 6.01pm, then follows the moon biting into the right-hand edge of the sun, the disc thinning to a broad crescent and then to a narrow arc by 7.03pm. In the last two frames, at 7.12pm and 7.18pm, the crescent has turned over and is thickening again as the moon moves clear. The disc holds a deep orange against a black sky throughout, exposed at f/22 at 1/1000 for the first five frames and 1/400 for the final two, at ISO 50 on the opening frame and ISO 100 thereafter.
