A group of war veterans has been banned from selling remembrance poppies in part of a shopping centre - after their stall was branded a fire risk.
The Derby branch of the Burma Star Association has set up a stall in the city's Eagle Centre for several years.

But complex bosses said the group were unable to do the same thing this year for health and safety reasons.

War veterans said they were disappointed at the decision. The centre is having a £300m redevelopment.

Julie Ralphs, from the centre, said: "There is a lot of work going on in the centre at the moment and we have really had to tighten up on our health and safety.
Here is a feedback form for the offending centre, I hope that there is no holding back on opinion on behalf of those who fought for us and our freedoms to tell this centre exactly what we think of them.
