A crush at a school funfair there killed 35 children and seriously injured six others.

Thirty-five children have been killed in a crush at a funfair in the south-west Nigerian city of Ibadan, with six others hospitalised, the police say.

The City Flyer ride, run by funfair suppliers Danter Attractions, has been described as "one of the tallest rides around".

Just three weeks ago, in a town known for its flower shows, amusement arcades and funfair, what should have been a joyful start to the school holidays turned into unspeakable tragedy.

The M40 southbound in Buckinghamshire has been closed after a funfair lorry ended up on its side, causing miles of queues.
