A man who sent a "grossly offensive" tweet about Captain Sir Tom Moore the day after his death has avoided a jail sentence as he was handed a community payback order.
Joseph Kelly, 36, posted on Twitter that "the only good Brit soldier is a deed one, burn auld fella buuuuurn" on February 3 last year.
Kelly, of Castlemilk, Glasgow, was found guilty of sending the message following a trial at Lanark Sheriff Court in January and returned to the court for sentencing on Wednesday.
