Birmingham city centre walkway lights blown down
A set of lights in a walkway under a Birmingham city centre flyover has blown down in the wind.
BBC WM presenter Gareth Evans, who was under the Queensway flyover near The Mailbox shopping centre, said it was lucky no-one was under the lights.
The Mailbox said it instructed maintenance teams to test other lights to "deal with the immediate concern".

Heavy downpours across England have resulted in homes being evacuated, disruption to train services and school closures while many roads have been closed as a result of flooding.
Tuesday's incident under the Suffolk Street Queensway flyover happened at about 11:50 BST.
Mr Evans said: "One minute I was walking underneath the Queensway flyover outside the Mailbox admiring the lights and the next I was helping pick up the huge lampshades that had bounced onto Navigation Street.
"They were blowing in the wind but you never expect something that big to blow down.
"It's lucky no-one was walking under it when it fell."
In a statement, The Mailbox said it was "extremely concerned" to hear of the incident, but "relieved to learn that that no one was injured".
It said: "We are especially concerned because of the close proximity of the incident to our building, so much so that we instructed our maintenance teams to secure the area and test and secure the other lights in order to deal with the immediate concern.
"We are now looking into the incident alongside the local authority, so that we can work in conjunction to avoid any future incidents."
