The statue of Newcastle United hero Alan Shearer has been moved inside the boundaries of St James' Park.

The 10ft (3m) statue was put up in 2016 on Barrack Road outside the grounds of the stadium.

A bid by the club's new owners to move it was approved by Newcastle City Council in March.

It has now been placed next to the entrance steps at the Gallowgate West corner, and the club said in a tweet it was "where he belongs".
