Hundreds of thousands of bombs were dropped on Britain during World War Two, some of which never exploded, so perhaps it should not be a surprise that they are still being found more than 75 years after the end of the war. But how much do we know about them?
The discovery of an unexploded World War Two bomb in Exeter resulted in a military response, thousands of residents being evacuated from their homes and extensive damage to nearby properties.
After being discovered on an allotment due for development, the 2,200lb (1,000kg) German bomb was blown up on Saturday in a controlled explosion, leaving a crater the size of three double-decker buses.

After an unexploded WW2 bomb was discovered by builders yesterday, an extended police cordon this morning has meant thousands of people have been evacuated.
A major incident was declared after the bomb was located on a building site on private land next to the University of Exeter campus - on Glenthorne Road.
Nearby residents, including university students and residents of Dennyshill Care Home, were evacuated last night after Devon and Cornwall Police set up a 100m cordon.
