Drone footage shows final leg of Swedish church's move

Watch final trip for church on wheels as it moves to new home

A 113-year-old church in the far north of Sweden has arrived at its new home after a two-day journey.

Aerial footage shows the church hoisted onto specially designed trailers, as it was moved 5km (3 miles) along a road at a maximum speed of 500m an hour, with road fittings like lamp posts and signs removed to make way.

The church in Kiruna was at risk from ground subsidence after more than a century of iron ore mining in the old city centre.
