A plaque honouring disgraced BBC presenter Huw Edwards has been removed from Cardiff Castle.
Council bosses binned the wall-mounted tribute after the Welshman pleaded guilty to having 41 indecent images of children, sent to him by another man on WhatsApp.
They included seven category A images, the most severe classification, two of which showed a child between seven and nine.

A mural featuring Edwards, which he had been to visit in his home village of Llangennech, Carmarthenshire, was also removed last week.
The artwork, created by Steve Jenkins, was painted over.
Mr Jenkins said: “I feel deeply saddened to have to remove it as the whole village loved it when it was first done.

“I was given the topic of the village to base the mural on and we thought it would be nice if Huw was included. It was lovely, he brought his mum along to see it and that’s why this is such a bitter pill to swallow.”
Several charities have also severed their allegiance with the fallen newsreader, including the National Churches Trust and the Journalists’ Charity.
