A shop assistant in Guernsey has been awarded 40 sausage rolls for 40 years of service.

Fifty-six-year-old Kevin Parsons started working at the island's Alliance supermarket in 1984.

Bosses marked the anniversary by giving him a certificate, a tropical-themed mural for his home and a sausage roll for each of his next 40 shifts.

Mr Parsons, who was described as an "Alliance celebrity" by bosses, said "words can't express my appreciation" for his gifts.

I would not want a mural in my house. This would literally be the opposite of a gift for me.
