Derby Telegraph eyewitness: “I woke up about 9:30 am and thought I was dreaming. But I swear I heard somebody shout “Get down, get down”, but I convinced myself I was dreaming.
“But then I went down and had breakfast. Then, when I opened my bin to place something in it, the bomb disposal unit was there and a officer at my door.
“It is pretty crazy. This is not the kind of thing you’d expect to see on Sunday afternoons.
