Three unexploded World War Two bombs have caused the cancellation of tonight’s WDR Symphony concert in Cologne.
The whole town centre has been shut off since eight this morning, with some 200,000 residents evacuated.
It is the city’s biggest clearance in 80 years.
The bombs are American 2,000 pounders.
