Vandals targeted chip shop after owner celebrated death of the Queen

Vandals have targeted a chip shop after the owner celebrated the death of the Queen.

As news of the monarch's death circulated last Thursday Jaki Pickett, who runs Jaki's Fish and Chip Shop, posted a video of herself on her shop's Facebook page popping a bottle of champagne.

Pictures show her holding up a chalkboard that read "Lizard Liz Dead and London Bridge has fallen.”

The chip shop owner was blasted on social media and the post has now been deleted.

Police were called after angry locals pelted the shop, in Muir of Ord, Scottish Highlands, with eggs.

Smashed eggshells could be seen on the ground while ketchup was splattered on a bench.

Pickett's membership of the National Federation of Fish Friers (NFFF) has been revoked.

In a statement, the NFFF said: "The NFFF has been made aware of social media posts made by one of our members that are in extremely bad taste and completely against all of the values our organisation and industry hold dear.

"We have discussed this as a board and have taken the decision to revoke the membership of this business owner and we will be writing to them and asking them to remove all association of the NFFF from her business, social media and websites."
