The makeshift measure was yesterday put in place outside PDSA in West Street, Havant, after a piece of the store's facade fell two storeys on to the pavement below. 

It is not known if anybody has been injured '“ or whether more material has fallen '“ but close-up images show stonework missing from the top of the building, where rubble originally fell.
