A World War Two bomb that prompted the evacuation of hundreds of homes has been safely removed from a harbour area.
Emergency services were called to Falmouth Docks in Cornwall at 09:15 BST on Monday after the suspected 250lb (115kg) "air-dropped" device was found in the water.
A 300m (984ft) exclusion zone was put in place on Tuesday and expanded to 755m (2,477ft) on Wednesday, with residents from more than 300 homes asked to leave before 09:00 BST ahead of the bomb being moved.
Cornwall Council confirmed the unexploded bomb had been "safely removed from Falmouth Docks" before 16:00, the cordon removed and residents allowed to return to their homes.
The council said the bomb would be "disposed of in deep water and well out at sea".
Lt Cdr Ben Brown, commanding officer of Bravo Diving Squadron, said there was a 500m (1,640ft) exclusion zone around it and it was on the sea bed in around 20m (66ft) of water.
He said the plan was to leave the bomb for six days before returning to it for disposal because of concerns about the type of fuse.
He explained it was an American device with a 144-hour delay chemical fuse and as a result of the interactions with the device, the fuse could have been set off.
Therefore the safest option was to wait for the six days to ensure it had not been activated.
Devon and Cornwall Police said the large-scale evacuation involved 81 police officers and staff as well as 113 volunteers and colleagues from partner agencies.
Supt Ian Thompson, policing commander for west Cornwall, added: "Since the discovery of this 250lb American air-dropped bomb from World War Two on Monday morning, we have seen a display of tremendous partnership working.
"Military bomb disposal experts have shown tremendous skill and bravery in making this ordnance safe.
"Thank you again for your hard work, working long shifts and flexibility to bring the operation to a safe conclusion."
He said the device would be monitored until teams were ready to dispose of the device.
Thompson said: "I think the tactical plan is that there'll be disposal over the coming days, so that when they do dispose of it, it's done in as small a way as possible.
"And the steps that they're taking just take a little bit of time to organise."
Falmouth's All Saints' Church operated as a help centre for residents, with displaced locals given tea, coffee and somewhere to sit.
Among them was Falmouth-based singer Will Keating, who helped lift spirits by singing and playing his guitar.
Jean Elsie, who arrived at the centre after leaving her home on advice, said she "went through the war so it doesn't make much difference".
The 92-year-old added: "In south London, we copped it, so I know all about it, so I don't mind."
