Thunder and lightning became a familiar sight in the borough over the weekend.
While it meant an interrupted night’s sleep for most people, it was a chance for photographers to grab some rather impressive shots.
Vicki Rowlands, from Plaistow, took these pictures of the lightning striking the borough.
