Events mark first anniversary of La Palma volcano

Events are being held on the island of La Palma today to mark the first anniversary of the eruption of the Cumbre Vieja volcano.

Works to restore essential infrastructure on the island continues, with roads being restored to allow work still ongoing nearly ten months since the end of the eruption to continue.

Officials have said they are still concerned over pockets of gas which have lingered since the eruption, with inspections continuing across the affected part of the island daily.

Regional authorities have said they estimate the damage to the island will cost over €1 billion to restore.
