Prince Andrew: Plaque at Torquay police station removed

The plaque had been at Torquay Police Station since 2001

A plaque at a police station in Devon marking its opening by the Duke of York, Prince Andrew, has been removed.

The plaque, taken down by Devon and Cornwall Police, had been at Torquay's station since 2001.

The action was carried out after a member of the public complained, said Assistant Chief Constable Jim Nye.

The prince's returning his military titles and royal patronages to Buckingham Palace was also "taken into account" in the decision, he added.
