Broadsands Beach Grenade


"Holidaymakers had to be evacuated from a beach after a live WWII bomb was found in the sand, just a few feet away from dozens of beachgoers.

Witnesses watched on as bomb disposal experts carried out a controlled explosion of the grenade, creating a sand storm as smoke, sand and debris flew 80ft into the air.
