The supermarket chain had been flying the Union flag alongside a Morrisons flag outside its main Retford branch, off Idle Valley Road.

A picture shows that both flags were torn and dirty, with barely any of the Union flag remaining.

A letter was sent to Morrisons head office about the state of the flags in late November and has just been shared with the Retford Times.
