The top of Myanmar’s Shwe Sar Yan Pagoda, to the south-east of Mandalay, has collapsed following a huge earthquake.
Onlookers can be heard screaming and shouting as part of the building crashed to the ground.
The strong 7.7 magnitude earthquake hit central Myanmar, with the United States Geological Survey identifying the epicentre as being 16km (10 miles) north-west of the city of Sagaing.
