Pictures from the scene of a huge warehouse fire at an industrial estate in Andover show the utter devastation.
The fire started in The Dormy House, a furniture, wallpaper and textiles business, in Walworth Business Park, around 9am on March 13.
More than 100 firefighters from multiple crews rushed to the scene to battle the blaze, with some still on the scene on March 14, more than 24 hours later.
A spokesperson for Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service said the incident had 'scaled down' overnight, with only two crews remaining.
