The purr-fect pint: Bristol has many unique pubs - but only one has resident cats who watch the patrons come and go from their boxes on the bar. Regulars at the Bag Of Nails can follow the fortunes of the feline friendsVandals have toppled a temporary cenotaph, damaged it with a flagpole and attempted to set it alight.

The structure, which had been erected as part ofon Thursday, was only put up in Long Ashton near Bristol on Tuesday.But by 06:00 BST on Wednesday volunteers discovered that it had been knocked down and damaged overnight.

Avon and Somerset Police said it is conducting a "thorough investigation" into the vandalism.Dave Addis, secretary of the village's Royal British Legion branch, said everybody involved was "pretty upset".

"They picked up what was to become our flagpole and used it to lever the war memorial down, and that was when they failed to set light to it," he said.

Mr Addis is part of a team preparing to mark the anniversary of D-Day with an event in Andrée Peel Park, where a beacon will be lit in remembrance as part of a national 'chain' of beacons."It's a unique space for a gig," she said. "I don't think anything like this has happened in that room before, so I'm really excited by the challenge."

This moment is more than just a career milestone, it's a reflection of years spent immersed in Belfast's music community, both on and off the stage."There were so many times I stood in the audience thinking: 'One day, I want to play on that stage'," she said.

"It feels like a really important time for me now, I'm there, it's really significant."Bristol City fans were also treated to some pyrotechnics, and Rovers fans took a stand against racism.
