More than 1,000 people were forced to evacuate their caravan park homes as they were deluged by flooding just hours before Christmas day.

Emergency services declared a major incident as they ordered residents to flee the Northamptonshire site late on Christmas Eve.

Residents of the park at Billing Aquadrome had needed treatment for hypothermia, emergency services said last night. A new mum and her young baby were among those plucked to safety from the site by teams paddling to their rescue.
