Big Picture: This week's images from the South

Our Weather Watchers have been out and about taking some beautiful autumnal photos from across the south of England.

Join us as we take a few moments to relax and enjoy the beauty of Oxfordshire, Berkshire, Dorset, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight through the pictures that have been sent to us over the past seven days.
