Royal Navy Bomb Disposal experts have this evening (Friday) detonated an unexploded piece of ordnance at Yaverland Beach near Sandown.
Police cordoned off a section of the popular beach and led members of the public off the cliffs at around 17:00 to allow bomb disposal experts to safely detonate a small object, believed to have been located elsewhere.
Officers left the scene at Yaverland Car Park at just before 18:00 following the successful destruction of the ordnance by experts from Portsmouth.
