This weekend marks the 30th annual Great Dorset Beach Clean organised by Litter Free Coast and Sea.

As part of the event enthusiastic volunteers gather at various beaches from Lyme Regis all the way along the coast to Friars Cliff, to clear any litter creating an eyesore.

However due to the weather warning organisers have taken the decision to cancel three of today’s beach cleans.

A spokesman from Litter Free Coast and Sea said: “We’re sorry to announce that the Great Dorset Beach Clean events at Bournemouth, Chesil Beach and Durdle Door have been cancelled due to the high winds forecast.

“Thank you to everyone for your interest.
