A man has been rescued from a cave in the Brecon Beacons after being trapped for two days.

The incident occurred at the Ogof Ffynnon Ddu cave system near Penwyllt in Powys.

Cave rescue teams from across the United Kingdom have been involved in the rescue mission, with Severn Area Rescue Association (Tewkesbury) joining in with the efforts.
