Foxes are well known for their cunning - but one has got himself into a difficult situation in Horsham town centre today (Tuesday January 27).

Crowds of people have gathered outside Boots in Medwin Walk to take in the unusual sight of a fox stuck on the shop roof.

An RSPCA officer at the scene dampened hopes of a dramatic rescue attempt and said the creature would most likely be left to make his own escape overnight.
