Police blunder put paratroopers on alert for ‘Lee Rigby-style' threat
Military staff at an Army base were mistakenly put on alert over a 'Lee Rigby-style' threat to behead a paratrooper. Security was tightened at the Colchester garrison, where Parachute Regiment battalions are located, after online threats were intercepted by Nottinghamshire police. All military staff at the base were warned not to wear any uniforms or clothing outside the camp that would identify them as military personnel. The families of service members were also sent warnings. However, a spokesman for Nottinghamshire Police has said: 'This story relates to outdated intelligence and does not relate to any current threat or investigation.' It is understood that due to an error made by police logging the date the post was made, military officials were mistakenly informed this week it was a new threat. Fusilier Rigby was murdered by Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale on May 22 2013, outside the Royal Artillery barracks in Woolwich, south London, after he was seen wearing a Help for Heroes hoodie, which was popular with troops. The alert sent to families and service personnel at Colchester Garrison, where 3,500 troops and 750 civilian workers are based, said: 'Urgent. All, please disseminate to all your people in camp. 'We have received a warning that a man has made threats against members of the Para Regt and wants to carry out a 'Lee Rigby' style attack. 'The SCC [Security Control Centre] and main gate have been informed but ensure no Para Regt/military clothing is worn outside camp and remain vigilant.' Colchester's military history dates back to the late 18th century when the first barracks were built in the city. The garrison is the home of 16 Air Assault Brigade and troops from the Parachute Regiment's second and third battalions, alongside other infantry and aviation units and supporting detachments, such as logistics and medical personnel. Airborne forces are known to wear regimental clothing outside working hours, particularly their distinctive maroon-coloured T-shirts and fleeces, most often worn with tight jeans and desert boots, a tradition that goes back many decades. Fusilier Rigby was a father-of-one from Middleton, Greater Manchester, and had served in Afghanistan. At the time of his death, he was working in army recruitment. He was a trained machine-gunner and a regimental drummer. He was given a military funeral at Bury parish church on July 12 2013.

Piri piri monkfish with runner bean relish
Monkfish on the bone is perfect for a piri piri dish like this – its firm flesh stands up to the heat and a good roast. You can use other fish, just go a bit gentler with flakier varieties when it comes to cooking and serving. The relish is a great way to use up a glut of runner beans – you can also serve it as part of an antipasti spread or with grilled meats and veg. Requires marinating time. Overview Prep time 20 mins Cook time 35 mins Serves 4 Ingredients For the marinated fish 4-5 red chillies juice of 1 lemon 4 garlic cloves, peeled 2 bay leaves ½ tbsp white wine vinegar or cider vinegar 2 tsp paprika 60ml vegetable or rapeseed oil 1 x 1kg monkfish tail or 2 x 500g tails, trimmed For the relish handful of runner beans (about 6-7), trimmed and diced 1 red onion, finely chopped ½ tbsp white wine vinegar or cider vinegar 2 medium tomatoes (seeds removed), diced ½ red chilli, finely chopped 1 tbsp chopped coriander, plus extra to serve 2 tbsp olive or rapeseed oil
