The ordnance was found near Queen Street in Arundel
An unexploded historic bomb has been discovered of the banks of the River Arun in West Sussex.
The Royal Navy's Explosive Ordnance Disposal team and officers from Sussex Police worked on Saturday morning to safely remove the ordnance, found near Queen Street, in Arundel.
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) has confirmed that the ordnance was a three inch World War Two mortar.
Shortly after 13:00 BST, Sussex Police said it had been dealt with safely.
A cordon that was in place as a precaution has been lifted, with access to Arundel via Queen Street, the High Street and the Causeway no longer restricted.
Sussex Police said it first received reports of the bomb at about 13:00 on Friday.
Emergency services were unable to safely reach the bomb until Saturday morning due to tide conditions.
An MoD spokesperson said: "Members of the Royal Navy's Explosive Ordnance Disposal team, from Bravo Squadron, attended the scene of suspected ordnance at Arundel earlier today and safely disposed of the item."
