No injuries were reported as a balcony collapsed in Sliema on Saturday afternoon, after heavy rains lashed most of the island earlier in the day.
The first-floor balcony on Sliema High Street gave way in its entirety in the early afternoon, sending large pieces of rubble hurtling down onto the pavement and street.
A spokesperson for the Civil Protection Department confirmed that nobody had been injured in the collapse in a road which is normally frequented by shoppers and residents.
Personnel were on site to clear any remaining danger to the public.
