A barn packed with 100 tons of straw was destroyed by a fire.

The blaze started at about 2.30am today at Manor Farm in Church Lane, Eastergate, near Bognor.

Four fire engines were sent to tackle the flames but when they got there, the fire was already burning fiercely.

Firefighters concentrated on preventing the flames from spreading and let the fire burn itself out.

The cause of the blaze is being investigated.
