This week we have seen flooding in parts of Buckinghamshire as the River Thames water level has risen enough to submerge areas of the county in water.
In Marlow, the Thames has overflowed onto footpaths and gardens along the banks as well as at Higginson Park.

The flooding in Marlow has seen a specialised team deployed at Longridge activity centre as canoes from Great Marlow School needed recovering before they caused hazards in the river.
A local radio station Marlow FM 97.5 found themselves battling the flooding as their studio became in danger of being immersed.
As the water level became dangerously high the radio station used sandbags to keep water from entering the studio.
