Up to 200 shoppers and staff were led from a shopping centre when workmen discovered a WWII anti-aircraft missile.

Bomb disposal experts were called to the retail park, in Attercliffe, Sheffield, shortly before 1500 BST on Friday.

Army experts from Catterick Garrison, in North Yorkshire, determined the bomb was no longer live.

The shell was taken back to barracks for safe disposal.
