The Prime Minister David Cameron has spoken of his shock at the flooding which has hit Exeter and the rest of Devon and promised to "ensure everything is being done to help" after an Exeter woman died in the chaos.

The woman, believed to be in her 20's, became the second victim to die as a result of the terrible weather.
