Judges have quashed the convictions of 39 former postmasters after the UK's most widespread miscarriage of justice.
They were convicted of stealing money, with some imprisoned, after the Post Office installed the Horizon computer system in branches. The system was flawed and postmasters and postmistresses have spent years trying to clear their names.
The judgement was met with cheers from ex-postmasters outside court and was hailed by Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Mr Johnson called the original convictions an "appalling injustice".
