Marks & Spencer has apologised for insulting Dartmouth after launching an advertising campaign for Scottish crab in the biggest crab fishing port in the Westcountry.

But that does not mean the advertisement will be hauled down.

The town celebrates its crab fishing industry with a yearly festival.
