A FLAGSHIP charity shop has finally reopened its doors - a year after it was devastated by fire.
The St Luke's Hospice shop in South Walk, was forced to shut after someone set fire to a bin at the back of the store and the flames spread through the building.
The refurbishment has finally been completed and thanks to a last minute plea for volunteers the store is back to full working order.
Trudie Westmore-Cox, co-founder of the hospice and patron, did the honours of cutting the ribbon as shoppers flooded into the store.
