A well-known shoe shop in Leicester has closed down after 40 years in business.

Blunts Shoes, in Granby Street, had announced the closure at the beginning of the year.

Company bosses said footfall had been a factor in their decision.

The store had received national attention after singer James Blunt claimed he was the owner in a running joke on social media.

Shoppers in Leicester said they were sad to see it go.
