Several trees have fallen in Cassiobury Park due to high winds caused by Storm Eunice.
Pictures taken by Stephen Smith show at least three trees were felled in the park during the storm, with one falling over the River Colne.
High winds battered Watford and surrounding areas on Friday and have been causing disruption for passengers and motorists.
Several trees have fallen on roads whilst many train service providers have issued a ‘Do Not Travel’ message.

Alex Woodman, Executive Director of Community Protection and Chief Fire Officer, said: “I’d like to thank all our colleagues across the emergency services and all the crews, from both our highways and fire services, who have been out in the storm responding to incidents and helping to keep people safe.
“We’re prioritising the most hazardous incidents, so it will take a while for us to deal with everything, and it may take several days to complete the clear up. We’re expecting the high winds to continue into the night, so please continue to stay at home if you can and be extremely careful if you do have to go out.”
