Tributes have been paid to a beloved cat known for daily visits to a local supermarket after he sadly passed away.

Mo - known as the "Co-op cat"- became famous after he was allegedly banned from the store in Newtongrange in Scotland.

Locals started a petition to allow Mo back in, and he was quickly spotted lounging on the self-service checkouts and receiving pets from customers.
