A church was reportedly struck by lightning as thunderstorms hit Merseyside.
Photos show the damage caused to the spire on top of St Gregory's R.C. Church on Damson Road in Netherley on Saturday, June 10. Ian, who captured the photo, told the ECHO he heard the sound of the lightning strike shortly before 9pm which "was like an explosion."
He added: "It was very loud but we didn't get any shockwave."
