In pictures: Snow blankets parts of England

The first snowfall of the season made for some stunning scenery across England this morning.

Areas such as Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, Yorkshire and Cornwall have finished November under a blanket of snow as temperatures drop to below freezing.

Yellow warnings of snow and ice remain in place in the South West, East, and North East of England, the East Midlands, and Yorkshire and Lincolnshire.
