THIS is the moment experts from the bomb disposal unit remove an unexploded device from the riverside.

The soldier is taking the device from South Quay in Worcester to be X-rayed so they can discover more about the device.

People gathered on Worcester Bridge to watch the action while New Road to Deasway remained closed by police.

All roads have now reopened.
