Shoppers at a Tameside supermarket are mourning the death of a beloved cat who used to greet customers at the entrance.
Max, the black and white feline, was a regular at the front of the Tesco superstore in Stalybridge. Tributes have been pouring in for the popular cat, with cards and flowers on display at the entrance to the store following his death this week.
There are even calls for a lasting memorial to Max outside the supermarket - including from the town's MP, Jonathan Reynolds. “Max made Stalybridge smile," he told the Manchester Evening News .
