A US fast-food chicken chain will stop trading after opening its first UK store in Reading.
Reading Pride campaigners called for a boycott of Chick-Fil-A, which opened its first branch at The Oracle shopping centre in Reading on October 10.
More than 100 people turned up outside Chick-Fil-A on Saturday to protest - see all the pictures from the protest in our story here
The gay rights group posted a statement which said: "In conversation with the Oracle, we have been told that Chick-Fil-A will not trade beyond its six month pilot period.
"The Oracle Management have also stated they will review their selection process and ensure a more thorough check is in place."

In conversation with @OracleReading we have been told that @ChickfilA will not trade beyond its current six-month pilot period.
However, we will continue with the protest on Saturday, to advise where their money could go. pic.twitter.com/f6wgvI65pu
