'Huge bang' as house destroyed in explosion

An eyewitness to a suspected gas explosion that destroyed a house has described the moment of the incident.

Steve Edwards said he had been making a cup of tea when he heard a "huge bang" before rushing outside to see smoke and flames rising from the property on Lancaster Road in Yate, near Bristol, on Tuesday morning.

He is among the residents to have been evacuated from their homes and asked to go to a refuge centre at the nearby Farmhouse pub.
