Southampton Itchen Royston Smith MP has just been speaking to BBC South's Sally Taylor.

He said: "I was walking between the Palace and Portcullis House. I saw what I now know to be the attacker lying near the gate of the Palace of Westminster.

"I was initially struck by how many police there were. There was a lot of noise and commotion and police were telling people to get inside and get out of the way."

The Conservative MP said members are still in lockdown. 

"I still don't know if we're being cleared to be released but it is a crime scene outside", he added.

One of the county council-produced bookmarks features the words "Male Lit" and the names of 18 male authors, while the "Chick Lit" bookmark only mentions female writers.

Author Lucy Cruickshanks, who found the bookmarks at Eastleigh Library, said: "Everything about them wound me up".

Hampshire Libraries said they were being withdrawn.

The rudder of a shipwrecked 17th Century merchant vessel which was raised from the seabed off the Dorset coast has returned to Poole ready to go on public display.

The so-called Swash Channel Wreck was discovered in a sand and shingle bank outside Poole Harbour.

Its 8.4m (28ft) rudder, carved with the image of a man's face, has been undergoing conservation work in York since it was raised in 2013 .

It is due to go on show with other recovered artefacts in Poole Museum tomorrow.

The ship is thought to have been a Dutch merchant vessel which foundered in a storm.

An elderly man suffered broken bones when he was attacked by a man in Basingstoke.

The 75-year-old suffered a broken collar bone and wrist and cuts to his head after he was pushed from behind, external in Abbey Road, Popley, on Monday morning.

Police said, before the attack, the victim had shouted at a dog that had barked at him. He then became aware of a man following him and shouting in anger. The victim started to run but was pushed over and lost consciousness.

The assailant is described as being in his late teens to early 20s, with black hair and of slim build.

A businessman cleared of manslaughter by gross negligence after his friend was killed in a powerboat crash has said the incident will "haunt" him for ever.

Following his acquittal, a statement from Mr Brown read outside the court said: "Ryan McKinlay was a friend I had known for more than 20 years.

"Ryan's death will haunt me for the rest of my life but I know that nothing will compare with his family's loss.

"My thoughts are, and always have been, with them."

This from BBC South's Peter Henley:

Police have confirmed four people have now died in the London attack.

Windsor MP Adam Afriyie described being 30 metres away from the attacker in Palace Yard next to "good friend" Bournemouth MP Tobias Ellwood who had "a mission in mind".

He also said: "We need to show parliament will never be cowered by situations like this".

Mr Ellwood is understood to have tried to resuscitate an injured police officer, who has since died.

The BBC understands that a police officer who was stabbed in Parliament earlier on Wednesday has died.

Tobias Ellwood was seen trying to help one of the victims of the incident outside the House of Commons this afternoon.
