Firefighters are still tackling hotspots at a fire near Southampton FC's St Mary's Stadium three days after it broke out.

The fire at an industrial unit on Marine Parade broke out on Wednesday at about 13:00 GMT.

Understood to involve plastics, it sent a huge column of smoke pouring into the sky over the city.

The fire service said crews would be at the fire throughout Friday and repeated advice not to handle ash or debris.
