A hoodie-wearing youth has caused outrage after he was pictured urinating on a war memorial honouring 25,000 servicemen who fell while defending Britain.
The man was caught on camera relieving himself against The Naval Memorial in Portsmouth, Hampshire, which commemorates around 10,000 fallen sailors of the First World War and almost 15,000 of the Second World War.
Veterans today voiced their disgust at the antics and complained that the stone of the memorial is actually deteriorating due to how often it is urinated on.
The shocking scene is the latest in a year-long saga which has seen anti-social thugs desecrating the 'nationally important' monument on the Naval city's seafront during lockdown.
