A number of people, including families, have been spotted loading suitcases and car boots with food behind Tesco Express on Wood Street in Cardiff .

One man, Danny Hall, was also on hand with a plastic crate to help carry food to a number of his friends, who are homeless.

Danny said: "I walked past and seen all this left over food. I've got a lot of friends who are homeless, so I'm going to take this food over to feed them.

"I don't think it's gone off. It all looks pretty fresh to me."
