People have been seen flocking to B&M and The Range stores to grab DIY and gardening equipment - ignoring demands to only leave home if they really have to.

Thousands of people have signed a petition calling for homewear retailer The Range to close its doors during the lockdown. But dozens of shoppers could be seen taking advantage of the store at one of its branches in West Bromwich, West Midlands.
