<p>Schools and properties were evacuated on Thursday after the unexploded bomb was found in north-west London, forcing local residents to take shelter in a church overnight.</p>
<p>The bomb, weighing 500lb (227kg), was discovered buried deep at a site in Brondesbury Park, Brent, where construction workers were preparing to build an apartment block, according to reports.</p>
<p>Army bomb disposal teams worked through the night and police said on Friday evening the bomb had been defused and was being removed from the site.</p>
<p>Police initially set up a large exclusion zone, with schools, businesses and homes evacuated and roads closed.</p>
<p>British Red Cross volunteers were drafted in to support affected locals and more than 50 people had to stay at a rest centre set up in a church in nearby Kensal Green.</p>
<p>The cordon has been relaxed but road closures in the area are still in place.</p>
