Remove hat, cancer sufferer told

A woman who has suffered hair loss from chemotherapy to treat breast cancer was ordered to remove her hat by pub staff.

Liz White, 55, visited the Woodman pub, in Old Catton, with her husband Tony on Monday night when she was asked to remove her baseball cap.

She was told the pub operates a "no hat policy" for security reasons.

Landlord Darren Reilly, who was not working, said "staff follow procedures and have not been trained to deal with a situation like this".
