Legoland theme park closed due to power failure

Legoland theme park in Windsor is closed due to an electrical power failure.

A statement on the Winkfield Road resort's social media sites said it was working hard to find the cause of the problem and updates will follow.

Staff at an external office could not yet confirm how long the park is expected to be closed for as the power failure is making communication between the sites difficult.
