A live World War Two bomb unearthed by builders on a housing development has been destroyed in a controlled explosion.
The 500lb (227kg) device was found on the new-build estate in Goole, East Yorkshire, on Thursday.
Eight homes were evacuated and the M62 was shut between junctions 35 and 37 as a safety precaution.
