A former serviceman who was caught on camera kicking poppy wreaths off a Cenotaph memorial has been fined £250. Peter Lear, 49, was filmed for 10 minutes as he systematically kicked the wreaths around the ground in the early hours of the morning. He suffers from PTSD and could be heard muttering about "Home Office corruption" during his appearance before Bristol Magistrates Court. Lear, of Knowle, Bristol, admitted a charge of criminal damage.
