Drinkers at a Welsh pub had a surprise when actress Susan Sarandon popped in for a Guinness and a roll-up cigarette.

She was in the area in a bid to trace relatives of her great-great-grandfather, John Charles Guyatt, who died in 1876.

Regulars at the Llynfi Arms in Tondu, South Wales, were stunned when Sarandon dropped by to film for Coming Home, which traces family trees.
