Firefighters were called to a church in Harrogate today when a freak gust of wind blew a gazebo on to the roof of the church hall.

An eyewitness said the gazebo had been used as a car port for a property near St John's Church on Bilton Lane.

But a sudden gust of wind sent it flying towards the heavens at about 1.30pm before it landed on the roof of the hall.

He added the firefighters handled the incident with expertise and "the main thing is nobody got hurt".


North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service's incident report said:

"Harrogate crew attended to make safe a gazebo which had blown onto a roof.
"Crews handled the gazebo down to ground level and made safe using tyres to weigh down. Incident handed over to responsible person."
