Guests attending a wedding on an island in Lower Lough Erne in County Fermanagh ended up stranded after a ferry took on water during Storm Boelo.

At the weekend, the storm brought winds of almost 80mph (129km/h) in some parts of Northern Ireland and caused the cancellation of flights and ferries.

About 12,500 households were left without electricity as a result of the storm, although all have since had power restored, according to Northern Ireland Electricity Networks.
