West Brom's new signing Jake Livermore trained with his new team-mates on Friday and could be involved.

Jonny Evans remains an injury doubt, while Allan Nyom is still waiting for international clearance to play after he wasn't selected by Cameroon.
Sunderland expect to have midfielder Jack Rodwell available after a knee scan gave him the all clear.
Steven Pienaar and Victor Anichebe are the only players from Sunderland's lengthy injury list who could return.
Steve Wilson: "Last January, Sunderland effectively saved themselves in the transfer window. Under Sam Allardyce they invested in Lamine Kone, Jan Kirchhoff and Wahbi Khazri, who all played a significant part in the club's escape.
"I am taking nothing away from Allardyce's achievement by saying that I reckon David Moyes could do just as well given the same opportunity to bolster his squad. But it seems that Sunderland are either unwilling, or unable, to support Moyes in the same way.
"The consequences are likely to be serious - particularly with three players on Africa Cup of Nations duty and a host of others injured.
"Moyes can surely only look on enviously as West Brom lavish in the luxury of eighth place and get their chequebook out."

West Brom head coach Tony Pulis: "It will be a tough game. I have great respect for David (Moyes), he's a top manager and they have great support wherever they go.
"Sunderland have got players who can hurt you. Jermain Defoe's goals speak for themselves and Fabio Borini is back fit.
"We can't take anything for granted in the Premier League. When you do, that's when it turns round and kicks you."
Sunderland manager David Moyes: "We've made some mistakes recently and I'm finding it difficult to change any of the players around, because we don't have that.
"Normally I would say if you're going to make that level of mistake then you won't play but we've not got the resources at the moment to change that round.
"So the players get that chance again, but we don't want repeated mistakes, that's for sure."
West Brom are always tough opponents and carry a threat from set-pieces. Having watched what Sunderland are like at the back, I cannot see them holding out.

The Champions League of Darts will be broadcast live on the BBC until 2019 under a new deal with the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC).

Phil Taylor beat Michael van Gerwen to secure the £100,000 first prize at the inaugural eight-player event in Cardiff in September 2016.
The 2017 Champions League of Darts returns to Cardiff on 16-17 September.
A change to the qualifying criteria will guarantee that the reigning champion returns to defend his title.
"The Champions League of Darts was a massive success last year," PDC chairman Barry Hearn said.
"This new deal is a reflection of how delighted the BBC were to have the very best players in the sport on terrestrial TV."

A Borders community council has disbanded after resignations due to a row over a play park left it below its required six member quorum.

The issue has been at the centre of debate in Earlston for some time.
Four community council members resigned in 2012 over the Mill Meadow plans and another stepped down at a special meeting last week.
It has left them below the necessary level of six councillors in order to hold meetings.
The location for the proposed park - which has secured Â£250,000 of lottery funding - has faced significant opposition.
A petition has been lodged against the project amid safety fears raised about access and flooding concerns.
Former chairman Tom Burnham said: "In the middle of 2012, four of our elected members resigned as a result of the arguments going on about Mill Meadow.
"Following those resignations in the middle of 2012, we had some additional co-options but on Thursday of last week one of the elected community councillors resigned so a new election has to take place."
He said that would probably be just before, or immediately after, the General Election.
Mr Burnham said the situation meant other issues would have to be put on hold.
"This means some very worthwhile projects are going to have to be postponed," he said.
"For instance, the rescue of the reading room in the square in Earlston, which is getting more and more dilapidated and needs some urgent action."
He said a bid to reinstate allotments in the area would also be delayed.
"Those projects will just have to be held in abeyance and, of course, at the discretion of the new community council," he added.

An £8m fund to help restore Scotland's peatlands has been launched by the Scottish government.

The restoration work will help reduce the country's greenhouse gas emissions by locking carbon into the environment.
It is estimated there are 1.7 million hectares of peatland in Scotland, much of which is eroding.
The funding will double the amount already restored from almost 10,000 hectares to 20,000.
A significant increase in peatland restoration forms part of Scotland's draft Climate Plan, which is currently going through parliament.
It aims to increase annual targets to 20,000 hectares, with 250,000 expected to be restored by 2032.
The carbon contains greenhouse gases that are released when it is exposed due to erosion of the peatlands by the elements.
Erosion is caused by the peat either being washed away by rainfall or dried out by the sun.
Experts flatten the peat embankments using diggers and then cover over with vegetation.
Andrew McBride, a peatland specialist with Scottish Natural Heritage, told BBC Scotland: "Scotland's peatlands actually hold the equivalent of about 140 years of our emissions from Scotland - all the industry. So it's very important that we hold the actual carbon and the peat in place.
"If it goes into the atmosphere, it's actually going to exacerbate climate change and that's why we're doing this, basically to cap it and keep it in place."
Work has recently begun on a 15-hectare stretch of moorland on the Auchlyne and Suie estates in Perthshire, which involves the re-profiling of 12km of peat hags.
Two diggers will spend about four weeks re-sculpting the landscape 2,000ft above sea level.
Landowner Emma Paterson said: "One did think, well, that sounds very odd because back in the 70s my mother got grants to do a lot of draining and this seemed to be going completely the opposite way.
"Thinking on it, it's going to benefit wildlife and make the habitat better with better grazing for animals."
The work on the Auchlyne and Suie estate is costing £49,000 and was organised by the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park.
The park's land manager, Harriet Donald, said: "You've got a lot of vegetation on the top (of healthy peatland) so basically at the moment you're losing any species, invertebrates, bird species that use that vegetation.
"So once that comes back in, you're creating an active, healthy peatland which will benefit all manner of biodiversity."
Environment Secretary Roseanna Cunningham said: "Restoring our peatlands and taking advantage of their value as a natural resource is crucial if we are to continue to build on our world leading low carbon ambitions, and reduce emissions by 66% by 2032.
"By increasing our investment more communities will be able to transform and use peatlands as an open space, regenerating it as a habitat for wildlife and reducing greenhouse gas emissions."


Preston North End goalkeeper Chris Maxwell has signed a contract extension to keep him at the Championship club until 2020.

The 26-year-old joined from Fleetwood Town last summer, but has agreed a 12-month extension to that deal.
The Welshman made Lilywhites debut in September and has played 29 games so far this season.
"He has been a big part of the team since he earned his place," boss Simon Grayson told the club website.


At least 36 people have died in a multiple pile-up in Peru.

Around 70 people are also reported to be injured after a bus drifted into the opposite lane.
The bus, operated by the Murga Serrano line, was hit by three vehicles coming in the opposite direction - two buses and a truck.
The vehicle was carrying a delegation from the Christian organisation the Worldwide Missionary Movement, it is reported.
The accident took place before dawn on the Pan American Highway near Huarmey, about 200 miles (320km) north of the capital, Lima.
"Initial investigations indicate that the driver who drifted into the opposite lane may have fallen asleep and collided with another bus," Oscar Gonzalez, who was in charge of the rescue operation, told Reuters.
The authorities sent several ambulances to the scene.
Road traffic accidents are common in Peru, with 2,514 deaths reported on the roads in 2010, according to the World Health Organization.
This latest incident is the country's most serious since October 2013, when 51 people were killed in a makeshift bus, which fell into a ravine.


More than 1.8 million hours of unpaid work was imposed on offenders in Scotland last year as punishment for their offences, figures have shown.

Of the 20,400 social work orders started in 2013-14, 78% contained an element of unpaid work.
The Scottish government said the successful completion rate for social work orders had risen in each of the last five years.
The figure rose from 59% in 2008-09 to 71% in 2013-14.
The work included the construction of cycle paths, removal of graffiti and the refurbishment of community centres, public parks and sports facilities.
The figures also showed that in the year to the end of March 2014:
The orders included unpaid work or other activity and treatment for alcohol, drug misuse or mental health issues.
Justice Secretary Michael Matheson said: "This government is working hard to ensure that Scotland is a safe place to live, work and visit. Recorded crime is at its lowest level for 40 years, supported by the work of more than 1,000 extra police officers in our communities.
"The figures represent the third full year of use for the community payback order - an order imposed by the courts to make offenders work hard in our communities, on both short and long term projects, as payback for their crimes - and it's clear that the orders are doing exactly that.
"The punishment should always fit the crime, and prison is the right place for those who commit serious crimes or pose a danger to communities.
"However, we know that short prison sentences do not work to rehabilitate offenders or to reduce the risk of reoffending."
Mr Matheson added: "Community sentences are more demanding, start more quickly and allow offenders to payback to the community while also addressing the underlying causes of their offending behaviour. This is a smarter, more sophisticated option and we know it works."
Social work orders include community payback, community service, probation, supervised attendance and drug treatment and testing orders.
The community payback order replaced provisions for community service orders, probation orders and supervised attendance orders for offences committed on, or after, 1 February 2011.


A new crossing over the River Don in Aberdeen is set to be named the Diamond Bridge.

The Â£22m road bridge - which is expected to open next month - will link the Bridge of Don and Tillydrone.
Diamond Bridge was selected following a vote by local schoolchildren.
Councillors will be asked to approve the name, which is in honour of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, as well as Aberdeen's links to the naval destroyer HMS Diamond.
The aim of the project is to improve access in the north of Aberdeen.


Wales full-back Liam Williams returns from a hamstring injury sustained in the Six Nations when Scarlets host Pro12 play-off rivals Glasgow Warriors on Saturday.

But the home side made no mention of a stomach bug affecting up to 20 squad members in their team announcement.
Defending champions Glasgow, three points better off than the hosts, are seeking an eighth consecutive victory.
Finn Russell takes over at fly-half amid seven Warriors starting changes.
Williams has played only once for the Llanelli-based team this season, a 60-minute outing against Connacht ahead of the Six Nations.
Steven Shingler returns at fly-half after a knee problem.
Following two comfortable victories in Italy, Glasgow press their claim for a home play-off by reintroducing scrum-half Henry Pyrgos and full-back Stuart Hogg.
Flanker Josh Strauss also returns, while winger Lee Jones and prop Sila Puafisi have recovered from recent knocks.
"We've got three tough games left to play of the regular season, starting with the Scarlets," said head coach Gregor Townsend.
"They've already beaten us this season and they're only three points behind us in the league, so we're well aware of the challenge we face."
Scarlets were 16-10 winners in Glasgow on the opening weekend of the season but Warriors won both matches of the Champions Cup double-header in December, including a 43-6 thumping at Scotstoun.
For the hosts, Williams has been sidelined since Wales' 64-17 win over Italy in the 2016 Six Nations.
"Liam's on track. He's trained very, very well," said Scarlets head coach Wayne Pivac.
"We'd give him probably a better than 50/50 chance [of playing against Glasgow]. It's looking positive."
Pivac said Williams' presence in training has boosted his team-mates.
"He's a real competitor - he lifts the guys around him and it's a joy to have him in the team," said the New Zealander.
"It's a shame he's not been available for large parts of the season, so it's certainly good to see him running around."
Prior to news of the bug affecting the squad, Scarlets had been handed a boost, with flanker Lewis Rawlins, fly-half Steven Shingler and wingers Michael Tagicakibau and Harry Robinson also set to return.

Australia has held a memorial service to mark the anniversary of the MH17 air disaster over Ukraine, in which 298 people, including 39 Australians, died.

A plaque with victims' names has been unveiled in the gardens of Parliament House in Canberra.
The Malaysian Airlines Boeing 777 was flying from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur when it crashed on 17 July 2014.
The West believes there is evidence the plane was hit by a Russian-supplied missile fired by pro-Russian rebels.
Russia denies this, blaming Ukrainian government forces for the disaster in the eastern Donetsk region.
MH17: What do we know?
Sunflower mementoes for the families
Australian lawmakers interrupted their mid-year holidays to take part in the national memorial service in the capital.
A plaque with the names of the victims was set in soil brought back from the Ukraine by an Australian police officer.
Speaking at the memorial, held inside the Great Hall of Parliament House, Prime Minister Tony Abbott said Australians owed it to the dead to bring the guilty to justice.
"Their passing leaves a void that can never be filled and a pain that still throbs," he said.
Mr Abbott said he was humbled by the way the families and friends of the people killed on the flight had coped.
"In the worst of times you have displayed the strength of giants and the grace of angels," he said.
Opposition leader Bill Shorten also addressed Friday's ceremony.
Those who attended the service pinned sprigs of Australia's national floral emblem, wattle, on a large wreath.
After the memorial, Mr Abbott met victims' families and friends.
A memorial service is also being held in the Ukrainian village of Grabove, close to where the plane came down, and in the Netherlands, where most of the passengers were from.
In the Dutch city of Nieuwegein, the names of all the victims will be read aloud by their family members.
In Malaysia, a memorial service was held in Kuala Lumpur on 11 July - because the anniversary of the disaster comes at the end of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan.
Each victim was named and then honoured with a moment of silence.
On Thursday, Russian President Vladimir Putin rejected calls by the UK, Australia, the Netherlands, Malaysia and Ukraine to establish a UN tribunal to prosecute suspects.
The Kremlin said in a statement that Mr Putin had "explained Russia's position regarding the premature and counter-productive initiatives of several countries, including The Netherlands, on the establishment of an international tribunal".
It also criticised what it said was politicised media coverage of the disaster.
A final report on the cause of the crash is due to be released in October by the Dutch Safety Board. The Netherlands is leading the criminal investigation and is being assisted by Belgium, Australia and Ukraine.
The Malaysia Airlines' passenger list showed flight MH17 was carrying 193 Dutch nationals (including one with dual US nationality), 43 Malaysians (including 15 crew), 27 Australians, 12 Indonesians and 10 Britons (including one with dual South African citizenship).


A 29-year-old sex offender who was declared 'unlawfully at large' has been re-arrested.

John Patrick Smyth went missing on Monday after failing to return to prison after home leave.
His previous offences include gross indecency with or towards a child, rape, aggravated assault, armed with offensive weapon with intent to commit offence and threat to kill.
Mr Smyth is an inmate at Magilligan Prison in County Londonderry.


A police team set up to combat hare coursing in Lincolnshire has said it will focus on seizing dogs and vehicles as part of its annual clampdown.

The county's police force said feedback from both farmers and those caught hare coursing said it was the greatest deterrent.
Traditionally offences start to rise in the autumn after crops have been harvested and continue until spring.
Last season, 176 men were arrested or reported for summons.
During the busiest months of November and December an average of 15 calls a day were received with the South Holland area the hardest hit, the force said.
Lincolnshire Police said it would also focus on working with neighbouring forces as part of its clampdown.
The National Farmer's Union's Lincolnshire advisor for the Holland region, Gordon Corner, welcomed the move.
He said many farmers had been threatened with violence and threats when facing gangs of hare coursers.

Seven of the eight miniature horses and foals stolen when thieves cut through an electric fence have been found.

The five horses - the largest of which is about 0.8m (2ft 8in) in height - and three foals were taken on 13 July from a field near March, Cambridgeshire.
Two were found in Christchurch on Tuesday and five in a field near Beck Row travellers' site in Suffolk on Wednesday, police said.
However, a palomino mare, Barbie, is still missing.
No-one has been arrested in connection with the thefts and inquiries are continuing, Cambridgeshire Police said.

Thieves cut through a 12,000-volt fence at the house in Stonea to take the animals, which owners Daniel and Jo Everett had bred for showing.
The couple were involved in rescuing some of the animals with police on Tuesday.
"We got a phone call from the police that they had eyes on our horses and to be on stand by," Mrs Everett said.
When they got to the field, she said the "mares were tied with seatbelts around their necks and two had no access to water".
The animals were rounded up and taken back to the stables.
Seven of the eight horses and foals are now home, but all are "thin, dehydrated and confused", she said.
One also has a leg wound which is being treated with antibiotics.
The couple have appealed for the return of mare Barbie, but praised officers involved in the investigation.
"There was a huge police presence. They were amazing and two had come in on their own holiday time," Mrs Everett said.


Former US secretary of state Hillary Rodham Clinton has praised the role of women in cementing the Northern Ireland peace process.

Speaking in New York at her induction into the Irish America Hall of Fame, she said she was accepting the honour "on behalf of all the remarkable women that I met and admired in Northern Ireland".
She described sitting at a table in Belfast with women from both sides of the conflict and watching as they discovered how much they shared, over cups of tea.
She said that when "the work of peace permeates down to the kitchen table, to the backyard, to the neighbourhood, around cups of tea, there's a much greater chance the agreement will hold".
"You cannot bring peace and security to people just by signing an agreement,'' she said.
"In fact, most peace agreements don't last.''
Mrs Clinton and her husband President Bill Clinton's first visit to Northern Ireland came in November 1995, 15 months after the IRA announced its first ceasefire.
She is seen as a top contender for the Democratic nomination in the 2016 presidential election but has not said if she intends to run.
Among those who attended the event, hosted by Irish America magazine, was Sinn FÃ©in leader Gerry Adams.
Mrs Clinton referred to her husband's decision to grant Mr Adams a US visa, a move that angered the UK government at the time.
"I remember very well when the request came back in 1993 that my husband approve a visa for Gerry Adams, who is with us today - it was a very difficult decision," she said.
"It seems like an obvious one in retrospect but at the time, much of our own government, certainly other governments, were against such a gesture.
"And I think it is true that absent that first step, that first risk, we might not have had the momentum to move forward to get to the Good Friday  accords," she said.


Four people have been charged after trouble at a football match left two police officers injured.

Glasses, bottles and other items were thrown after a pre-season friendly between Grimsby Town and Sheffield United on Saturday.
Four were charged with assault, affray and public order offences following disorder at Blundell Park, Cleethorpes.
Two people have been released on bail. Police said CCTV footage was being checked, with further arrests expected.
A Humberside Police spokesman said football banning orders may be imposed to prevent fans attending future matches.


The Scottish National Party's aim to have full control of tax in Scotland would create a £7.6bn financial "black hole", Ed Miliband has claimed.

He said the SNP's economic plans would have a "devastating" impact on Scotland.
The SNP says Labour is "simply making this up", with leader Nicola Sturgeon citing the usual "fears and smears".
The Tories say Mr Miliband's comments show the SNP is "pulling Labour's strings".
In other election news:
Labour has been trailing the SNP in the polls in Scotland for months and, as Mr Miliband arrived in Edinburgh to deliver his speech, a  YouGov poll for the Times suggested Labour could be on course for its worst result in about 100 years.
It put the SNP on 49%, with Labour on 25%, which - if borne out on 7 May - would leave Labour with only a handful of Scotland's 59 seats and significantly harm the party's chances of a Westminster majority.
Analysis by BBC Political Correspondent Iain Watson
Ed Miliband is usually most comfortable attacking opponents to his right.
But in the shadow of Edinburgh castle, Mr Miliband claimed today he had found a chink in the centre-left SNP's armour.
Nicola Sturgeon said she wanted full fiscal autonomy as soon as possible.
So Labour have latched on to a recent analysis by the independent Institute for Fiscal Studies suggesting that with a lower tax base than the UK as a whole - and volatile North Sea oil revenues -  there could be a gap of more than £7bn in the Scottish budget.
This allows Labour to say - look, the SNP are an austerity party too because they would have to make cuts to close this chasm.
But Labour have to be careful of how they advance the argument - the SNP say they are facing more "fears and smears" from their opponents.
And if Labour are, in part, being punished for too negative tone during last year's referendum campaign they will have to mix a negative attack on Ms Sturgeon's plans with a positive vision of Scotland's role in the UK.
However, Mr Miliband attacked SNP plans for the Scottish Parliament to take control over all taxation in Scotland, known as full fiscal autonomy. He said this would mean the end of the Barnett formula, the mechanism used to distribute government funds across the different nations of the United Kingdom, and leave a £7.6bn "black hole" in Scotland's finances.
"Which services will be cut? Which taxes will be raised and what cuts will it mean for pensioners in Scotland when they are taken out of the UK pension system?" he asked.
Mr Miliband said the SNP's claims that they would end "Tory austerity" were false and that they would actually "extend" it because their plans for fiscal autonomy would cut Scotland off from sources of UK-wide revenue and increase its pension liabilities.
SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon described his speech as "desperation" and her deputy, Stewart Hosie, told BBC News:" The Labour Party are simply making this up."
He said Labour's figures - taken from independent Institute for Fiscal Studies data - were based on the current financial year, and that tax control could not be transferred in that time.
Neither did they take into account the effect of SNP anti-austerity policies to grow the economy, Mr Hosie said, adding: "The only cuts which we know are actually coming to Scotland are the £30bn of austerity cuts from the Conservative and Liberal coalition which the Labour party voted for."
What is fiscal autonomy?
The SNP wants the Scottish Parliament to have control over all of taxation in Scotland.
For the shared costs of continuing to run the United Kingdom, it would pay Whitehall a portion of the takings - for defence, the Foreign Office, the Treasury and shared regulators such as Ofcom and Ofgem.
Those in favour say such a move would respond to public demand for more powers at Holyrood. They say it would provide the levers of power over economic policy that could help grow the economy faster. That includes targeted business tax breaks.
Those against say that it would leave a large gap in the nation's finances - a £7.6bn shortfall next financial year over and above a share of the deficit that the UK is already running.
Labour has ruled out a coalition with the SNP in the event of a hung Parliament, saying there are "big differences" between the two parties over a range of issues, including the extent of financial powers to be given to Scotland and the renewal of Trident.
The SNP, which has called for modest rises in UK spending in the next Parliament and made a number of spending commitments of its own, has said it is prepared to support a Labour government on a "vote-by-vote" basis, if Ed Miliband's party wins the greater number of seats in the Commons, but not an overall majority.
Such an arrangement, the Conservatives warned again on Friday, would give SNP the power "to sign off" all Labour's plans.
This election issue includes devolution and reform of the Westminster political process.
Policy guide: Where the parties stand
Tory Defence Secretary Michael Fallon said: "Ed Miliband's visit to Scotland shows that the SNP are already pulling Labour's strings."
"Nicola Sturgeon makes a statement, and the Labour leader rushes to Edinburgh to respond. If it's like this now, imagine what it would be like with the SNP propping up Ed Miliband in Downing Street."
The Liberal Democrats said that, in pressing for full fiscal autonomy, the SNP were "veering away" from an economic strategy "that has delivered 174,000 new jobs for Scotland and putting the recovery at risk".

A Kenyan teacher who gives classes against violent extremism is one of 10 finalists up for $1m (Â£690,000) prize for the world's best teacher.

Ayub Mohamud teaches at a school identified as a recruiting ground for Islamist militants.
He told the BBC he was excited and humbled by his nomination by the Varkey Foundation, which works to improve the education of underprivileged children.
Kenya has been hit by several large-scale terror attacks in recent years.
Last April, at least 148 people died when al-Shabab militants attacked a Kenyan university near the border with Somalia, where the al-Qaeda-linked group is based.
It was also behind the four-day siege in 2013 at the Westgate mall in the capital, Nairobi, in which 67 people were killed.
Mr Mohamud teaches business and Islamic studies in the Somali-dominated Eastleigh suburb of Nairobi, which is popularly referred to as "Little Mogadishu".
For the last five years, he has been discussing de-radicalisation in his religious education classes.
In a leaked report from 2013, Kenya's National Intelligence Agency reportedly said that al-Shabab militants had been recruiting at Mr Mohamud's school, Eastleigh High.
The teacher told the BBC's Abdinoor Aden that he believes teachers can contribute to global efforts against terrorism.
He said that if teachers gave students critical thinking skills and confidence they would "be able to reject extremists' demands".
Analysis: Will Ross, BBC World Service Africa news editor
Given the scale of the global jihadist crisis many thousands of Ayub Mohamuds are needed.
Governments are focusing most of their resources on military might as they try to crush the extremists. But Mr Mohamud is in another battle - helping ensure the youth are not tempted to swallow the jihadist ideology and turn to violence.
I have met people who were locked up with young men accused of carrying out the 2010 World Cup bombings in Uganda and with those responsible for de-radicalising Boko Haram recruits in Nigeria.
They all highlighted education as the key because these men were unable to reason logically and so did not have the skills to counter jihadist ideology. That is why Mr Mohamud's work is so important.
Al-Shabab has been at war with Kenya ever since Kenyan forces entered Somalia in October 2011 in an effort to crush the militants.
Nine other teachers have been shortlisted for the award, including a US Air Force officer who teaches in an Indian red light district and a Japanese teacher who gets his message across using Lego.
In its second year, the award was set up by the Varkey Foundation, the charitable arm of the Gems international education firm.
The first winner of the Global Teachers' Prize in 2015 was US teacher Nancie Atwell, who donated the $1m prize money to the school she set up in Maine.
The winner of the Global Teachers' Prize will be announced on 13 March.


Armed police used proportionate force in a raid on a hotel suite in Belfast where a guest's nose was allegedly broken, a High Court judge ruled today.

The judge dismissed Clifford Irons' claim that a PSNI officer inflicted the injuries by striking him in the face with the butt of a rifle.
The incident was alleged to have occurred during an operation at the Radisson Blu Hotel in December 2013.
The raid was linked to unfounded suspicions about a robbery.
Mr Irons, from Carrickfergus, had booked into the penthouse suite for weekend birthday celebrations, and his friends booked rooms on the same floor.
Hotel staff became concerned amid an alleged sighting of a suitcase full of money, and towels stained with red dye being sent for laundering.
Police were alerted and believed there may be a connection to a cash-in-transit robbery on the north coast, the court heard.
An PSNI armed response unit was called in, equipped with guns, stun guns, batons, flak jackets and ballistic shields.
However, no evidence of links to any suspected cash heist was discovered.
Mr Irons claimed damages for alleged assault and battery, along with trespass, over how the operation was carried out.
He told the court up to 10 officers entered his suite as he dozed in a chair after returning from a nightclub.
He claimed to have heard a bang and turned round to see members of the unit enter and shout for him not to move.
According to his account, one officer came straight at him and hit him on the face without provocation, causing him to fall backwards and strike a coffee table.
His face was then repeatedly struck off the wooden floor, he alleged.
But the officer who led the team into the hotel rejected his version of events.
The policeman said five armed response personnel entered the suite, using a key code card to access the first door, before the unit advanced to the inner rooms.
He claimed to have seen another man apparently pouring a white powder out through a window.
The officer told the court that when he asked Mr Irons to put up his hands, he replied by swearing at him.
The police witness alleged that Mr Irons then appeared to be reaching forward towards the ground and - wrongly- he feared the hotel guest may be reaching for a weapon.
"I assessed the threat as high, my life and my colleagues lives may be in danger, (and) the subject Mr Irons' life may be in danger," he said.
"I took decisive and immediate action to try and mitigate the risk for all concerned, and delivered a muzzle strike with my rifle to his back.
"Mr Irons fell forward onto the floor."
The officer accepted that during a struggle to apply handcuffs,  his rifle accidentally swung round, striking Mr Irons on the face and causing an injury.
The judge backed the police version of events, saying: "The situation that developed was highly dangerous and lives were at risk.
"The actions of the police officers in such circumstances have to be conducted with professionalism and be subject to the most rigorous training."
The judge added: "I consider it highly improbable that an armed police officer would turn his gun around so it was facing directly towards that armed police officer in order to use the butt of his gun to strike a person who was not complying with the direction given.
"Such action would amount to complete recklessness - the safety catch was off, this was a weapon loaded with two magazines."
"To act in that way, so one no longer had any control over the trigger would, in my view, be entirely reckless and highly improbable."
Referring to Mr Irons' claim that his nose was fractured during the incident, the judge said it would have occurred when he fell forward onto the floor.
Dismissing the claim and awarding costs to the PSNI, he confirmed: "I have no hesitation in saying the force used to strike with the muzzle was appropriate."


The conservative Saskatchewan Party has swept to a third consecutive victory as the Canadian province held elections.

Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall has risen to national prominence as one the country's leading conservatives.
Mr Wall has become a frequent foil of Prime Minster Justin Trudeau and his recently elected Liberal government.
The largely rural province is seen as one of last conservative strongholds in Canada.
The Saskatchewan Party won a clear election, with victories in 48 out of 61 constituencies confirmed, according to the CBC.   The party is on track win three more.
The Saskatchewan New Democratic Party (NDP) led by Cam Broten has won 10 seats, a slight improvement after the party suffered major losses in the 2011 elections.
During the campaign, Mr Broten criticised Mr Wall's government for running a deficit.
Mr Wall campaigned on his record and promised bring more jobs to the province.
In a surprising upset, neighbouring province Alberta elected the left-leaning NDP last year, ousting the conservatives after years in power.
Failing oil prices and a strong US dollar have hurt the Canadian economy. Alberta - a hub of the Canadian oil industry - has been hard hit.
However, with strong agriculture and mining sectors, Saskatchewan weathered the downturn better than Alberta.
Mr Wall remains popular and the province's unemployment rate is low, compared to the rest of the country.


US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson will miss a meeting of Nato foreign ministers next month, US officials say.

He will instead travel to a G7 meeting in Sicily, Italy, and then to Moscow to meet Russian leaders.
Under Secretary of State Tom Shannon will represent the US at the Western military alliance meeting in Brussels.
The US State Department said that when it realised Mr Tillerson would be absent for the 5-6 April meeting, it offered alternative dates to Nato.
Spokesman Mark Toner said the United States remained "100%" committed to the security alliance.
During his election campaign, Mr Trump expressed admiration for Russian President Vladimir Putin and described Nato as "obsolete".
It's not unprecedented for a US secretary of state to skip a Nato meeting, but it is rare. The last time was when Colin Powell had to cancel during the 2003 Iraq War.
So the decision to do so reopens questions amongst European governments already anxious about Donald Trump's commitment to the alliance. Publicly the State Department cites only scheduling difficulties, but the Nato meeting coincides with a visit to the US by the Chinese President Xi Jinping. And Rex Tillerson laid the groundwork for that on a recent trip to Asia at a time when the threat from North Korea has forced itself to the top of the administration's agenda.
In recent weeks, US cabinet ministers and even Mr Trump have also reassured Nato allies about Washington's continued support (while deploying thousands of troops to bolster central and eastern Europe against any threat of Russian interference).
But the president's criticisms have continued. And Mr Tillerson's plan to meet leaders of a more assertive Russia later in April before meeting Nato allies also feeds a negative narrative rather than one of reassurance. Given the State Department is now suggesting alternative dates to Nato, perhaps Mr Tillerson's got the message.
Mr Tillerson had close links with the Russian government while he was CEO of Exxon Mobil and has questioned the sanctions imposed on Russia after its annexation of the Crimea region.
During a visit to Nato headquarters in Brussels last month, US Vice-President Mike Pence attempted to reassure US allies about the new government's commitment to them.
But he also said that Mr Trump expected Nato members to make substantial progress by the end of the year towards meeting agreed defence spending increases.
Mr Tillerson will meet Nato diplomats this week in Washington for a conference on defeating the Islamic State group.


Plans to demolish and replace an ageing bandstand in the heart of Edinburgh are to be debated by Edinburgh council.

The Ross Bandstand in Princes Street Gardens, erected more than 80 years ago, is used as part of Hogmanay and festival firework celebrations.
Councillors will next week discuss multimillion-pound proposals to redevelop the gardens.
The 140-year-old Ross Fountain would also be restored.
It is part of plan by city hotelier Norman Springford, who has offered to help finance the project.
Mr Springford, who owns four Apex hotels in the capital, said: "Whilst it has been a personal ambition to see redevelopment, the opportunity for this to become a reality arises from a real spirit of public/private co-operation.
"I'm sure we are all looking forward to being given the chance to deliver a project which the city can have pride in."
Members of the council's corporate policy and strategy committee will be asked to consider the feasibility of the project at a meeting on Tuesday.
The next stage would see the publication of a report for consideration by the full council.
The plans would then go to the Scottish government as the Ross Bandstand is on common ground.
The Ross Bandstand venue was developed as a venue in 1935 and has a capacity of 2,400.
The original facility dates back to 1877, gifted to Edinburgh by William Henry Ross, chairman of the Distillers Company Ltd.
Andrew Burns, City of Edinburgh Council's leader, said: "Scores of famous acts have graced the Ross Bandstand stage and while it remains a key venue for the city's famous festival fireworks and hogmanay concert in the Gardens, it is more than 80 years old and is nearing the end of its useful life.
"It has been a long-held ambition of the council to create a new facility as part of major renewal of the gardens but is not, in the current financial climate, a project we could undertake alone.
"We are extremely grateful to Mr Springford for his personal commitment to the project.
"Princes Street Gardens are a major source of residents' pride in the city and it is important that we get any changes to the park right."


A six-year-old boy was left chasing a tram after its doors closed and he became separated from his mother.

Samantha Parker-Smith said the driver refused to stop after her son left the vehicle ahead of her at the Holy Trinity stop in Clifton on Thursday.
She said her son Marli had "fear in his face" and was screaming.
Nottingham Express Transit (NET) said it was an "unfortunate" incident but drivers are told not to stop for "safety reasons".
Ms Parker-Smith said she was just behind her son when he stepped out on to the platform, but the doors closed in front of her and the tram began to move.
She said: "Everyone was shouting, screaming for the driver to stop because we had left a child behind.
"It was awful... It was a parent's worst nightmare."
The tram continued to the Clifton Centre stop, about half a mile (0.8 km) away, where she disembarked and got a lift back to where she last saw her son.
Marliwas being looked after at the stop.
"All I had kept thinking was that he's going to keep running next to the tram into the road," Ms Parker-Smith said.
The company said: "Our drivers do have to follow accepted safety standards in these circumstances and they should not stop the tram until the next stop.
"As soon as a driver is made aware, our control room is instantly alerted and can monitor the situation at the tram stop via our CCTV system."
However, a spokesman has told the BBC that its no stop procedure could be reviewed in light of recent events.
In September, a three-year-old girl was left stranded at a stop when the doors closed before her parents could get off.
NET apologised but the BBC later discovered that there had been a number of similar incidents.


A UKIP parliamentary candidate who said in a Facebook post that Israel should "kidnap" US President Barack Obama has been replaced by his party.

Jeremy Zeid, who was standing in Hendon, said President Obama should be "locked up" by the Israelis for "leaking state secrets".
He was referring to the declassifying of documents on Israel's secret nuclear programme.
UKIP said Mr Zeid resigned last week due to health issues.
It is not clear exactly when he resigned, but he made the posts last Wednesday and Thursday.
Raymond Shamash, a surgeon originally from north-west London, was revealed as Mr Zeid's replacement after news of the Facebook posts emerged.
Mr Zeid also said Israel should "do an Eichmann" on President Obama.
Adolf Eichmann was a Nazi war criminal abducted by Israeli agents in 1960 and later hanged for his role in the murders of millions of Jews in World War Two.
Hendon is one of the most marginal seats in the country with the Conservatives defending a majority of 106.


Chile midfielder Arturo Vidal believes beating Germany in the Confederations Cup final in Russia will prove they are the best team in the world.

The South Americans are looking to win a third trophy in as many years after successive Copa America titles, including beating Argentina in last year's final.
Chile defeated Portugal on penalties to set-up a meeting with the world champions in St Petersburg on Sunday.
"We have proven our value," said Vidal.
"We have beaten Argentina and Portugal, the European champions, if we win on Sunday, we will prove we are the best team in the world."
Vidal, who plays his club football in Germany with Bayern Munich, hoped this tournament would be good preparation for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
He added: "We have reached this final with our spirit and attitude - this is a waiting room for the World Cup - and if we win on Sunday that will show where we are."
Germany have the youngest team in Russia with the average age of their squad just 24.
However, they have produced some impressive performances as the tournament has gone, notably beating Mexico 4-1 to reach the final.
"A lot of work has gone into our wins," said Germany boss Joachim Low. "We couldn't pre-empt reaching the final as some players had little experience and you couldn't calculate how they'd react.
"We've become a team over the last few weeks. They know there is work ahead and they are ambitious enough to beat Chile."
A Germany victory on Sunday would complete a successful couple of days for the country after the Under-21s beat Spain 1-0 to win the European Championship on Friday.
Yes, during the group stage as the two sides shared a 1-1 draw.
Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez opened the scoring in the sixth minute of the Group B encounter before Lars Stindl equalised just before half-time.
Germany went on to finish top of the group as Chile finished second.
It looks like the top scorer of the tournament is going to be a Germany player.  Tim Werner is currently leading the way (three goals, one assist), with Leon Goretzka (3, 0) and Stindl (2, 0) also in contention.
Portugal talisman Cristiano Ronaldo has two goals and one assist but he won't take part in the third-place play-off with Mexico having already gone home to spend time with his new-born twins.


The Supreme Court in Brazil has ruled that strikes by police are unconstitutional.

In a seven to three ruling, the court banned federal and civil police officers as well as firefighters from going on strike.
Members of the military police were already banned from stopping work.
A stoppage in eastern Espirito Santo state caused chaos in February, with schools closing and public transport suspended as the murder rate shot up.
Police strikes are not uncommon in Brazil and have in the past created problems in major cities such as Rio and Sao Paulo as well as the state of Bahia.
The judges said that anyone working directly in the area of public security had no right to go on strike "in any form or manner" because they carried out "an essential activity for the safeguarding of the public order".
They argued that work stoppages by security personnel "promoted anarchy, which is not allowed under the constitution".
Shortly after the ruling, the union representing federal police officers said its members had voted for nationwide industrial action over a social welfare reform bill.
Union leader Luis Boudens said his members would come up with actions other than stoppages to protest against the bill, such as symbolically handing in their duty weapons and bullet-proof vests.
In February, hundreds of federal police officers and soldiers were deployed to Espirito Santo after the murder rate jumped up during a strike by military and civil police officers over pay and working conditions.
Because military police were already banned under the constitution from going on strike, hundreds of those involved were threatened with charges of rebellion.
A deal was eventually reached and the officers returned to work after three weeks of stoppage.


Plans to sell the European arm of General Motors - including Vauxhall - to France's PSA Group could be derailed by the deficit in GM's UK pension scheme, an expert says.

Vauxhall's pension scheme is one of the largest in the UK, with 15,000 members.
Pensions expert John Ralfe said Peugeot owner PSA would not want to touch it "with a barge pole", saying he thought it had a deficit of about £1bn.
Half of the members were pensioners, Mr Ralfe told the BBC's Today programme.
The proposed sale will be discussed in the Commons on Monday afternoon after the Speaker granted an urgent question on the matter to the Labour MP for Ellesmere Port and Neston, Justin Madders.
Meanwhile a Downing Street spokesman confirmed that Prime Minister Theresa May was planning to meet Carlos Tavares, PSA chief executive, but a time and date for the meeting had not yet been fixed.
According to company filings to the end of 2014 - the latest available - the Vauxhall pension scheme had assets of about £1.8bn but liabilities of about £2.6bn, leaving a deficit of £840m.
Since then record low interest rates have hit the returns on government debt in which big pension schemes invest heavily, so the deficit had probably grown, Mr Ralfe said.
Last week it emerged that PSA Group, which also makes Citroen cars, was in talks about taking over GM's loss-making European business, Opel.
Mr Ralfe told Today the size of the deficit was a "major issue for the takeover". "At best it's a stumbling block, at worst it could be a deal breaker," he said.
He said he was clear that PSA would not want to take on the pension scheme so they would only buy the operating assets, including the plant and the Vauxhall brand, leaving the pensions with General Motors UK.
"The trouble with that is that would then be a company with no assets, so what would have to happen ... is that General Motors US would have to issue a guarantee for that UK company," Mr Ralfe said.
PSA, which already works with GM in Europe on several projects, said a takeover was among "numerous strategic initiatives" being considered.
Any deal would involve Opel's UK arm, Vauxhall, which employs 4,500 staff at plants at Ellesmere Port and Luton.
Unite union leader Len McCluskey is also due to meet Mr Tavares this week to discuss the deal and any impact it might have on jobs.
Mr Ralfe said he did not think the Vauxhall pensioners needed to be worried about their position, but said that while politicians were "running around all over the place asking about jobs, they should also be running around asking about pensions".


The slab-like grey bulk of the Ethiopian National Theatre in central Addis Ababa could not be further removed from the sparkle and attention-grabbing headlines of the Cannes Film Festival.

Nevertheless, 37-year-old Yared Zeleke was still more nervous about being in the Ethiopian capital for the premiere of his film Lamb, which earlier this year became the first Ethiopian movie to be selected at Cannes.
"I did not sleep last night," Mr Yared says, two hours before the premiere.
"You cannot get more prestigious a film festival than Cannes, but still it feels more important here—there is the power of home, the power of identity. This is part of who I am."
Mr Yared says he was born and raised "in the slums of Addis Ababa" until, aged 10, he moved to the US, along with his family during Ethiopia's communist dictatorship, the Derg - a time of upheaval across the country due to war and famine.
Yared Zeleke, film director:
"This film is a celebration of being Ethiopian. It is about the love, struggle, complexity and beauty here that you usually do not see portrayed"
Lamb tackles the issues of displacement and loss in the form of a young boy, Ephraim, who is sent by his father to live with his extended family far from home.
Ephraim's best and only friend is a lamb called Chuni, but his uncle wants to slaughter the lamb for a religious festival. The clock is ticking for an unlikely cinematic pairing.
As part of the Ethiopian diaspora, Mr Yared is acutely conscious of how Ethiopia and Africa are often negatively stereotyped in media. Lamb aims to offer a counterbalance, he says.
"This film is a celebration of being Ethiopian," Mr Yared says. "It is about the love, struggle, complexity and beauty here that you usually do not see portrayed."
Mr Yared says Africa has a major PR problem in the mass media and that it is "high-time to reassess these Africa misery stories".
"I want Ethiopians to take away from the film a reassertion of identity and a positive sense of it, and Westerners to understand that Ethiopia is not a desert but green."
Lamb began as a 20-page master's thesis while Mr Yared studied at New York University film school, before a professor encouraged him to turn it into a feature-length film.
In 2012 it won a script award from the Amiens Film Festival, leading to opportunities opening for the film to be made and castings began in Addis Ababa in 2014.
The first half of the film was shot in Ethiopia's hot lowlands, with the second in the chilly highlands.
"Many foreign audiences are taken aback by the scenery and seeing such greenness," says Ghanaian producer Ama Ampadu.
"We filmed in the Simien Mountains and the Bale forests—Ethiopian landscapes people do not know about."
The film's two main young stars, 14-year-old Rediat Amare, who plays Ephraim, and 16-year-old Kidist Siyum, who plays his rebellious cousin, were also exposed to a previously unfamiliar world through their Cannes experience.
The two first-time actors say they enjoyed the beautiful city but struggled with the food - "especially the cheese", Kidist says.
Ethiopia has a bustling indigenous cinema industry but it took a joint Ethiopian-international effort to bring Lamb to foreign screens.
The mostly Ethiopian crew was supplemented with film professionals from France, Germany, Kenya and Belgium bringing required additional expertise, Mr Yared says.
"The shoot was very disciplined and professional, a different standard to what I am used to," says 31-year-old local Ethiopian actress Rahel Teshome, who plays Ephraim's aunt.
"All the pre-production and workshops made a big difference."
Casting for Ephraim included testing how Rediat interacted with the six lambs initially on hand to play Chuni, Ms Ampudu says.
Rediat bonded so well with one lamb the other five weren't needed.
Lamb at Cannes and beyond:
See the trailer on YouTube
But securing partnerships to provide the $1.7m (£1.1m) budget proved a greater challenge.
"When pitching, not only did we have working with children and animals against us, but we wanted to do it in the mountains of Ethiopia. It was a hard sell," she says.
Most funding was secured from European film organisations, and from the European Union-funded Africa, Caribbean and Pacific Cultural Sector programme.
Ethiopian Airlines was another useful sponsor - flying all the crew, cast and equipment to the rugged highland territories featured in the film, and to those important international film festivals.
Lamb follows on the heels of another internationally acclaimed Ethiopian film Difret, which won the World Cinematic Dramatic Audience Award at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival for its portrayal of the Ethiopian tradition of kidnapping child brides.
Could these successes herald the emergence of an Ethiopian movement in world cinema?
"The art of cinema has yet to be fully realised in the country," Mr Yared says.
"The film industry needs development in all areas—financial, technical and artistic. Until those huge needs are met, most productions will remain at the local level."
At the Addis Ababa premiere there was one noticeable absence - Chuni, the lamb. At the end of filming it went to live on the family farm of one of the film's crew.
After the screening, there was applause, but not the standing ovation some foreign audiences have given it.
Thirty-three-year-old Daniel Meles and his group of 10 Ethiopian friends discussed the film as they left the theatre.
"I liked how it told the sort of story you can come across in life but never see in a movie," he said.
"It was also a good reminder that although Ethiopia is changing a lot, in the countryside there is still a reality far removed from the city."
Some found the storyline confusing, the presentation of rural life oversimplified, and the film generally too serious.
Mr Daniel put this down to it being less commercial than Ethiopian cinematic fare that usually focuses on comedy, love and life in the city.
Hellen Kassa, 25, who works as a business consultant, said she enjoyed the subtle way it dealt with social matters.
"Food security, gender inequalities, urban migration - that is brilliant, to spark your thought processes without making concrete statements."
She has been fielding many inquiries from fellow Ethiopians since the premiere.
"People are very interested to hear about it, the first Ethiopian film at Cannes - they want to know why all the buzz."


Mae'r Democratiaid Rhyddfrydol yn ddigon gonest i gyfadde' iddyn nhw wneud camgymeriadau, yn ôl arweinydd y blaid yng Nghymru.

Dywedodd Mark Williams wrth raglen ar BBC Radio Wales y gallai hi gymryd amser i adennill ffydd yr etholwyr, yn dilyn beirniadaeth o'u record fel rhan o glymblaid Llywodraeth y DU.
Mynnodd bod cefnogaeth i bolisi'r blaid o gynnydd o 1c mewn treth incwm er mwyn ariannu gofal cymdeithasol.
Ychwanegodd fod ei gyd-aelod Kirsty Williams yn hybu cefnogaeth i fyfyrwyr fel Ysgrifennydd Addysg Cymru.
Roedd yn siarad ar raglen Jason Mohammad cyn i arweinydd y Democratiaid Rhyddfrydol, Tim Farron lansio maniffesto'r blaid ar gyfer y DU ddydd Mercher.
Cyfaddefodd Mr Williams fod y blaid wedi dioddef o benderfyniadau gafodd eu cymryd yn y glymblaid gyda'r Ceidwadwyr yn San Steffan rhwng 2010 a 2015, gan gynnwys torri'r addewid i beidio â chynyddu ffioedd dysgu yn Lloegr.
"Bydd hi'n cymryd amser i'r blaid adennill y ffydd yna," meddai.
"Ar ôl bod yn blaid neis yng ngwleidyddiaeth Prydain am gymaint o amser, i gael cyfrifoldeb llywodraeth a gwneud penderfyniadau anodd a gwneud camgymeriadau, beth am fod digon gonest a dweud i ni gael pethau'n anghywir sawl tro - fe wnaethon ni gamgymeriadau.
"Ond rydyn ni nawr ble ydyn ni, mae'n rhaid symud 'mlaen - gobeithio bydd pobl yn ymddiried yn y diffuantrwydd mae rhai ohonom ni wedi ceisio'i ddangos yn y blaid."
Dywedodd Mr Williams ei fod ef ei hun wedi gwrthwynebu cynyddu ffioedd dysgu a sefydlu'r dreth ystafell wely, gan ddweud fod pobl wedi diolch iddo am ddangos "ysbryd o feddwl annibynnol".
Fe wnaeth hefyd ganmol ei ragflaenydd Kirsty Williams, a gamodd o'r neilltu fel arweinydd y Democratiaid Rhyddfrydol yng Nghymru er mwyn ymuno â Llywodraeth Cymru.
Fel Ysgrifennydd Addysg roedd hi wedi rhoi "cymorth ariannol go iawn" i fyfyrwyr yng Nghymru drwy grantiau ar gyfer costau byw yn hytrach na ffioedd dysgu, meddai.
Bu Mr Williams hefyd yn amddiffyn galwad y Democratiaid Rhyddfrydol am ail refferendwm ar amodau gadael yr Undeb Ewropeaidd, gan fynnu nad oedd hynny'n golygu ei fod yn ceisio gwyrdroi Brexit.
"Roedd y wlad yn glir o ran gadael - doedd hi ddim yn glir o ran amodau gadael. Dwi jyst yn meddwl bod rhaid bod yn ofalus gyda'r trafodaethau, achos gallen nhw beryglu Cymru a'n heconomi yn sylweddol," meddai.


The owner of Walkers Crisps has announced 110 jobs as part of a £15.2m investment at its factory in Leicester.

PepsiCo said it was introducing a new production line at its Leycroft Road site in the Beaumont Leys area of the city.
The MP for Leicester West Liz Kendall said the news came as a welcome boost to the local economy.
Walkers, which was established in Leicester in 1982, employs more than 2,000 people.
Labour MP Ms Kendall said: "PepsiCo is a major employer in the local area and today's announcement comes both as a welcome boost to the local economy and a clear indication of their ongoing commitment to the Leicester community."


A woman who was paralysed five years ago is learning how to walk using Robocop-style mechanical legs.

Claire Lomas was told she would never walk again when she damaged her spinal cord in a riding accident in 2007.
But now Ms Lomas, from Leicestershire, has taken 30 steps using the Â£43,000 ReWalk unit at a rehabilitation centre in Ottringham, East Yorkshire.
The mother, who is the first person in the UK to use ReWalk, says she wants to complete the London Marathon in April.
The centre is run by Cyclone Technologies, whose managing director Dave Hawkins described the ReWalk technology as similar to that seen in the film Robocop.
He said: "It's an externally fastened on system with motors that assists with the hip and the knee joints to give a walking gait pattern, so you can actually walk in a normal manner."
Users wear a backpack device and braces on their legs. Leaning forwards activates sensors setting the robotic legs in motion.
The exoskeleton system was developed by an Israeli company, set-up by an engineer who was paralysed after breaking his neck.
Ms Lomas, of Melton Mowbray, said she had been lobbying the company to be given the opportunity.
"I heard about it about two years ago, before I got married, " she said.
"I wanted it to walk up the aisle, but it wasn't going to happen that soon."
She said her one-year-old daughter, Maisie, was helping to keep her motivated.
"We're having a bit of a competition to see who can walk first," she said.
"We're about level at the moment, but young brains learn quicker, so I'm not sure whether she is going to overtake me soon."
She estimated it would take her between one to two weeks to complete the 26-mile (41km) London Marathon, raising money for the charity Spinal Research.
Ms Lomas said using the system was not just about regaining the ability to walk.
"Emotionally, to be stood up. How you feel when you are out and stuff, just to be at the same height as everyone else."
She hopes to receive her custom-built unit later in the year, and said she was aiming to take part in the mothers' race at her daughter's school sports day.


Chelsea defender Gary Cahill has signed a new four-year contract with the Stamford Bridge club.

The 29-year-old England international has made 177 Blues appearances since arriving from Bolton for about £7m in January 2012.
His previous deal was due to expire at the end of next season.
"I have achieved a lot here and I hope I can keep on learning, helping the team and lifting trophies over the next four years," the centre-back said.
"I'm really pleased to commit my future to Chelsea and it's great the club has put their faith in me."
This season Cahill has played in 10 Premier League matches for the defending champions, who are 14th in the table after taking 15 points from their first 14 games.
He has won the League Cup, the FA Cup, the Premier League, the Champions League and the Europa League in his time with the Blues.
Cahill was named in the Professional Footballers' Association's Premier League team of the year for the 2013-14 and 2014-15 seasons, and has 40 England caps to his name.


Hartlepool United have signed former Doncaster Rovers centre-back Rob Jones until the end of the season.

Jones, 36, was released by Rovers in February and had been training with Pools since the arrival of manager Craig Hignett.
The centre-back has made 377 appearances for eight professional clubs, including Sheffield Wednesday, Scunthorpe and Scottish side Hibernian.
He is available for Hartlepool's League Two trip to Barnet on Saturday.

A "predatory offender" who attacked female students in Cardiff and other cities has been jailed for 12 years.

Tahir Nazir, 40, obtained a fake university ID card and trawled the internet looking for student nights so he could target vulnerable young women.
Fuelled by drink and drugs he followed and then attacked his victims, Manchester Crown Court heard.
He was sentenced on Friday after being found guilty of a string of sex offences at his trial in March.
The divorcee from Glasgow hired a car and embarked on a tour of university towns and cities in Inverness, Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Manchester, Oxford, Bristol and Cardiff.
The court heard an examination of Nazir's mobile phone found he had conducted internet searches for "high school girls" and "freshers'" week, particularly around Swansea and Cardiff.
In the early hours of 22 September a visitor to a shared house in the Cathays student neighbourhood of Cardiff awoke to find Nazir on top of her "very drunk" friend.
CCTV showed Nazir prowling the corridors of student flats trying doors in an attempt to find victims.
Other images showed him following a student into a building.
He was caught after sneaking into a student house in Fallowfield, Manchester, last November.
Several female undergraduates heard someone systematically going through the house, trying their locked bedroom door handles.
They called police who arrested him nearby.
Analysis of DNA linked him to a sex attack five days earlier at a block of flats in Hulme.
He was convicted of trespass with intent to commit an offence, sexual assault, attempted rape, and three charges of trespass with intent to commit a sexual offence.
Judge Martin Steiger QC said: "His campaign involved taking detailed photos of premises where students lived, in particular entrances and access rooms.
"And finally it involved his posing as a student for which purpose he had obtained a highly convincing fake student union ID card."
He said he preyed on "drunken students hoping no doubt that they would not remember or would not complain about his conduct".
Nazir wrote a letter to the judge in which he "apologised to the victims and acknowledged the seriousness of his crimes", according to his barrister Richard Littler.
After the hearing, Det Insp Ian Bourne, from South Wales Police, called Nazir a "predatory offender".
He said: "South Wales Police takes all reports of sexual violence extremely seriously and a detailed forensic search of the house resulted in a DNA profile being obtained.
"This was only identified as Nazir's when, less than two months later, he brazenly committed a strikingly similar crime in Manchester.
"We would like to commend the courage of the victim and her housemates who all gave evidence at the trial at Manchester Crown Court.
"We would also like to thank the other witnesses who played a crucial role in assisting us in bringing this dangerous individual to justice."


US electric car manufacturer Tesla plans to raise $1.5bn (Â£1.15bn) to fund production of its new Model 3 car.

Tesla will raise the money by selling bonds to professional investors, despite the company having $3bn in cash.
The company says it has 518,000 orders for its new car, whose price starts at $35,000.
Initial production of the Model 3 started in July, with a target of 400,000 to be made next year.
Tesla, which also makes batteries and solar panels, has been burning through its cash at a rapid rate.
The company's founder and boss, Elon Musk, said at the vehicle's formal launch in July that making the Model 3 would lead to "six months of manufacturing hell", as it tries to make 100,000 of the cars this year at its California factory.
Some observers have predicted that the company, which has yet to make a profit, will use up at least $2bn this year, hence the need for more cash.
The Tesla bonds will have to be repaid to investors in eight years but the interest rate on offer to investors has not yet been decided.
Tesla has $3bn in its cash pile, but it is easy to see why it wants more.
The company has already proved that it can build high-performance, long-range electric cars.
The Model S and Model X have an enthusiastic following.
Now it has begun delivering its new, more basic and more affordable Model 3.
But building luxury premium cars for a small, wealthy and enthusiastic market is one thing.
Becoming a viable, mass-market manufacturer is quite another - especially when the mass market for electric cars does not actually exist yet.
Tesla built just under 84,000 cars last year and it hopes to be producing 520,000 annually by 2018.
That is a huge step forward, particularly for a company which saw production in the first half of this year slowed because of a shortage of batteries.
Tesla is throwing money at the problem, and is expected to burn through $2bn this year.
But why is Tesla being so ambitious? Why not build up production more slowly?
Well, the electric car market is about to get a lot more crowded.
Major manufacturers such as VW, Mercedes and Jaguar Land Rover all have high performance electric vehicles in the pipeline, while Renault-Nissan already dominates the more affordable end of the market.
Tesla's brand has a Silicon Valley cachet that other manufacturers cannot match, for the moment.
But if it is to become a high-volume manufacturer, it needs to use that cachet to build its market share - or risk being sidelined when the more established auto giants roll out their new models.


Part of a dolphin skull and a medieval arrowhead are among more than 9,500 artefacts uncovered by an archaeological dig at Cardigan Castle.

The 18-month project to uncover the 800-year history of the site has been conducted by NPS Archaeology.
Excavation work has also revealed a new part of the original castle which dates back to the 1170s.
It is part of an £11m renovation project which aims to re-open part of the site this year.
NPS Archaeology project manager Nigel Page said the dig had recovered more than 9,500 objects ranging from medieval pottery and animal bones to a NAAFI  (Navy, Army and Air Force Institute) mug from World War II.
"They give a small window on the people who have lived and worked at the castle," he said.
The building is regarded as the first stone castle built by the Welsh princes and was the stronghold of Rhys ap Gruffydd, prince of the medieval kingdom of Deheubarth.
It is also said to have hosted what is regarded to be Wales' first eisteddfod, but for years it stood crumbling at the riverside gateway to the town centre.
"The most exciting discovery is a three square metre stone structure made from pitch stone which dates back to the earliest stone castle which was built in 1171.
"It was a completely unexpected discovery lying just below the soil in the castle's garden."
Mr Page said the dolphin's skull also dated back to the medieval period before the 15th Century.
"It is not uncommon to find dolphin remains in castles near the coast because they would have been eaten by people at medieval feasts along with swans and other large animals," he added.
Cardigan Castle had a turbulent early history and was captured and lost several times by Llywelyn the Great before it returned to Norman hands after his death in 1240.
"Interestingly the rusted remains of a medieval iron arrowhead is the only evidence for warfare found during the works other than the thick castle walls," said Mr Page.
For the past 15 years the Cadwgan Building Preservation Trust has campaigned to save the site and it still needs to raise over £20,000 by 2015 to ensure the project can be completed.
When work on the castle is finished it will have educational facilities, including for Welsh language, cultural, environmental and horticultural studies.
There will also be luxury accommodation for hire, a restaurant and an eisteddfod garden.
The aim is to increase visitor numbers from 3,000 to 30,000 a year.
The project has received funding from the lottery and the European Regional Development Fund, through the Welsh government, along with other organisations.

A taxi driver is being held over the deaths of six people in an apparently random shooting spree in the Michigan city of Kalamazoo.

Jason Brian Dalton, 45, was arrested after attacks at three locations on Saturday evening. Two people, including a 14-year-old girl, remain seriously ill in hospital.
It has been confirmed that Mr Dalton was a driver for cab-hailing app Uber.
Prosecutors are investigating whether he took fares between attacks.
One local resident said he experienced a hair-raising ride in Mr Dalton's car shortly before the first incident, which prompted him to call the police.
Kalamazoo County Prosecutor Jeff Getting says the suspect is likely to face multiple counts of first-degree murder and attempted murder when he appears in court on Monday.
The shootings took place outside a block of flats, a Kia car dealership and a Cracker Barrel restaurant:
Uber says it did a background check on Mr Dalton, and police have confirmed that he did not have a criminal record.
In a statement, the firm said it was "horrified and heartbroken" at the violence.
Police said none of the victims had been passengers of the suspect.
Kalamazoo County Undersheriff Paul Matyas said the spree was his "worst nightmare", adding: "These are random murders."
Mr Dalton was arrested in the early hours of Sunday following a police manhunt.
The suspect did not resist when approached by officers and weapons were found in his car, police said. No motive has yet been determined.


A Portsmouth UKIP councillor has defected to the Conservatives, having previously been a Tory member for more than 30 years.

Steve Hastings joined the city's UKIP group in 2013, ahead of European elections, and became its deputy leader.
In 2011, he stood as a Tory candidate in the Chichester district council elections.
He said: "The best hope for a European referendum now lies with the [Tories]."
Mr Hastings said a referendum was a "locked-in" promise from Prime Minister David Cameron.
"He knows it has to happen and the sooner he puts a date to that the better," he said.
"I don't want to be governed and controlled by Brussels.
"If the public vote yes, then I can go with it and support it, but until we've had the referendum I can't run with that, I cant accept it."
Mr Hastings said his defection was "by no means a reflection" on his UKIP colleagues or group, and was not as a result of a "falling out".
In a letter to Portsmouth City Council, on his resignation from the UKIP group, Mr Hastings added: "I feel strongly about protecting Britain's borders and ensuring we have tighter border controls and lower managed levels of immigration."
Colin Galloway, Portsmouth's UKIP group leader, described Mr Hastings defection as "a surprise and a disappointment".
Last May, UKIP saw six councillors elected in Portsmouth. However, Paul Godier quit the group in January to become an independent, and following Mr Hasting's departure there are four remaining.
Asked whether he expected any further defections, Mr Galloway said: "That'll be up to councillors and their conscience."
Portsmouth City Council remains under no overall control following Thursday's elections. The Conservatives are five seats short of a majority.


Scarlets have signed wing or centre Richard Smith from Cardiff Blues.

The 28-year-old's career began at hometown club Neath and he played for Cardiff RFC before joining Blues, for whom he played three times last season.
He has also played for Brisbane Bulldogs in Australia and for Wales Sevens in 2011 and 2012.
"His versatility will give us more options in the backfield particularly during the international window," said Scarlets rugby manager Jon Daniels.
"That said, he is coming here to challenge for a starting position in the team, which adds to the competition in the group.
"He is well known in Welsh rugby for his commitment and professionalism and so in a new environment time will tell how far he can progress."
Scarlets are the only Welsh team in the upcoming season's European Rugby Champions Cup.
Smith said: "There's a lot of competition in the squad and I'm also looking forward to potentially having an opportunity to play in the Champions Cup against some of Europe's best clubs."


A man in his 20s has been bailed in connection with the double shooting of a man and woman in Liverpool.

Police arrested the 21-year-old, from Garston, at an address in Buchanan Road, Walton, on Saturday.
He was arrested on suspicion of possession of a shotgun and violence against the person.
The arrest relates to an incident in March when a 45-year-old man and a 46-year-old woman were shot and injured in Addenbrooke Drive, Speke.
They were treated in hospital for injuries that were not thought to be life-threatening.
An 18-year-old man from Litherland was also bailed after arrest on suspicion of possession of a firearm and a drugs charge.
A 28-year-old man from Walton was bailed on suspicion of possession of a firearm.


Britain's Mel Reid hit a hole-in-one to put herself within two shots of the early lead at the NW Arkansas Championship.

The Derby-born player posted the seventh ace of her career on the par-three 11th at Pinnacle Country Club.
Reid carded a six-under-par 65 to finish in a tie for second, behind South Korea's Park Sung-hyun.
The 29-year-old sits alongside South Korean Ryu So-yeon and America's Ally McDonald.
Fellow Briton Felicity Johnson finished behind them after a five-under 66.
"As soon as I hit it I thought, oh, it's got a chance," Reid told lpga.com. "It just pitched a little longer than we thought. But yeah, I mean, a hole-in-one, I hit a good shot there."
Park, who has not missed a cut since she joined the LPGA tour at the start of the 2017 season, hit a stretch of six consecutive birdies to take the early clubhouse lead.
Reid, a five-time winner on the Ladies European Tour, is making her Arkansas Championship debut.


There are countless examples of how closely linked sport and money have become, but here in Las Vegas this week, the relationship has appeared too close for comfort.

Such is the supercharged media frenzy over the so-called "fight of the century", and the ramped-up interest in events here in Nevada, this will be one of the most lucrative sporting events in history, generating an estimated half a billion dollars.
Floyd 'Money' Mayweather is already the richest sportsman in the world. Now the American is set to earn another $200m (£130m) for this weekend's world welterweight title fight.
Opponent Manny Pacquiao will have to be content with around $130m (£85m). And the Filipino is doing well outside the ring too, having recently signed new endorsement deals with the likes of Nike, Foot Locker, and Nestle.

The anticipation for Mayweather v Pacquiao is understandable. After all, these are two of the greatest pound-for-pound fighters of their era - one undefeated; the other a champion of six weight divisions. Something has to give. And few sports can match boxing for sheer fervour when it comes to fight-nights such as this.
And yet, despite the barely believable numbers being generated here, they are also perhaps symbolic of a sport that has sold its soul and lost its way.
The fight is generating record revenue for a boxing bout. But much of that is down to the pent-up demand created by six years of negotiations over money, quarrels between television networks, and delays over drugs testing.
This is the first super-fight of the social media age, and it has benefited from unprecedented levels of hype and a recovering US economy. That may be good for the fighters' bank balances, but surely the sport would have been better served if the two men had fought at their peak, not as they begin to think about retirement.
The fight will generate gate receipts of $74m (£48m), breaking the record set by Mayweather's clash with Saul Alvarez in 2013. But given that it is taking place in an arena with just 16,500 seats - only 500 of them available to the public - this is hardly an event staged with the average sports fan in mind.
Tickets have been advertised for hundreds of thousands of dollars, surpassing the level of demand for the Super Bowl, but most will go to members of the fighters' entourages, guests of wealthy corporations, or the casinos' most valued clients - the so-called 'high-rollers' (as long as they have credit-lines with the casino of $250,000).
At the Excalibur hotel - over the road from the MGM where the fight will take place - guests are being charged $400 (£260) just to watch the action on a TV screen in a bar. Fans are even being charged to attend the weigh-in.
Has sport ever felt as far from its Corinthian ideals?

This week I sat through one of the best attended, yet most anodyne and subdued media conferences many boxing reporters had ever witnessed when Mayweather and Pacquiao appeared together for the first time here.
No need for needle, we were told. Too much mutual respect. The fight sells itself. But it was hard not to conclude that Mayweather's predictable, stock answers were indicative of a man for whom money rather than his reputation as a sportsman is now the priority.
After reeling off a long list of sponsors he wanted to thank, promoter Bob Arum claimed the hype surrounding the fight was fantastic for the sport.
But it is hard to see how hosting the fight in a small, exclusive arena and behind a prohibitive pay wall is the best way of exposing a new generation of fans to the sport and increasing its appeal.
The fight will be watched by three to four million people in the US, many more than the record 2.4 million viewers who paid to see Mayweather take on Oscar De La Hoya in 2007. But for many others in the US, watching the fight on pay-per-view TV is simply too expensive when it costs $99 (£65) in HD.
More than the interests of the sport, this is about what is good for the two fighters, their promoters, joint host broadcasters HBO and Showtime, the MGM hotel and casino, secondary ticket selling agencies, and of course the city of Las Vegas - where room rates have hit record highs.
It all seems a far cry from 1995 when 28 million Americans tuned in to see Mike Tyson beat Buster Mathis on Fox. Or 1985 when 19 million TV viewers across Britain watched Barry McGuigan become world champion.
I visited McGuigan last week at the gym he runs with his son in Battersea. He would not begrudge the fighters maximising the money they could make, and pointed to the dangers involved.
Like Arum, he insisted the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight was a huge shot in the arm for a sport that has seen its popularity fade in recent years. While acknowledging the rampant commercialism behind the event, he was delighted that boxing was back in the headlines, and providing 2015 with arguably its biggest sporting moment.
There are indeed causes for some optimism. Al Haymon - Mayweather's adviser - has recently invested $20m establishing the Premier Boxing Championship in the US. In partnership with NBC, the PBC series is an attempt to return boxing to the mainstream - staging fights on network television with the aim of building a new audience.
McGuigan himself is doing his bit to return the sport to terrestrial screens on this side of the Atlantic, having struck a deal with ITV to televise his fighter Carl Frampton's bout with Chris Avalos back in February, the channel's first world title fight since 2008. The free-to-air show attracted an audience of almost two million.
The fact 80,000 people turned up at Wembley last June to watch Carl Froch fight George Groves is further encouragement.

Yet the sport still has a long way to go before confounding those who have predicted its death.
The confusing and fractured competitive landscape created by having four sanctioning organisations, with no single governing body, continues to do untold damage. After years of mismanagement, greed and corruption, there are too many belts, too few household names, and growing competition from mixed martial arts such as UFC.
The fear remains that Mayweather v Pacquiao is a one-off. The interest and money generated by what is being described as boxing's last great super-fight proves that the sport retains appeal, even today in such a crowded sporting marketplace. But don't necessarily expect it to restore the credibility of a sport that has a long way to go before staging the revival it craves.
This may be the most lucrative fight in boxing history, but its legacy remains harder to predict.


British Swimming says its performance programme does not need a "major overhaul or change of direction" after reviewing its London 2012 results.

Michael Jamieson's silver and two bronzes for Rebecca Adlington were Team GB's only medals in the pool after being set a target of five to seven.
The review found that British Swimming was broadly delivering its objectives.
We need to make changes and some significant improvements
ParalympicsGB chef de mission Craig Hunter, who chaired the panel, stated: "The programme is not broken."
He added: "It is clear from the consultation completed that no one single factor is responsible for shortfalls in the number of medals won in London.
"The process has highlighted a number of areas where there were some shortcomings in technical leadership, in delivery, or where systems and processes in place did not function as well as they should.
British Swimming chief executive David Sparkes welcomed the findings, saying: "Words fail me in expressing our disappointment with the results from the London Olympics.
"The report gives a clear indication that the overall structure and strategy within British Swimming is correct, however, we also need to make changes and some significant improvements.
"Both the British Swimming Board and I are committed to implementing these.
"Today we start a worldwide search for a new national performance director and head coach for the programme.
"It will be this new leadership team's job to drive forward these recommendations and we will look to appoint as quickly as possible."
The review led to the resignation of performance director Michael Scott.


A teacher who boasted of sex with a teenage pupil on a school trip has been found to behaved unprofessionally.

The man, who teaches at a school in Bridgend county, now faces disciplinary action by the Education Workforce Council.
But the fitness-to-practise hearing in Cardiff found allegations of sex and sexually motivated behaviour not proven.
The panel will decide on his punishment at a later date.
During a two-day hearing, it was claimed the man had told a colleague that he had sex with the pupil and said: "You know [Pupil A], I've smashed her."
It was alleged the incident took place during a continental trip and that pupils had been drinking in a bar with the teacher.
Giving evidence, the teacher said he did indicate something sexual had occurred to the colleague but said it was "banter... male bravado" and that they were not speaking as professionals.
He said he did use the words "smashed her", which he said he deeply regretted saying.
But when asked at the hearing whether he had sex with Pupil A, he replied: "Absolutely not".
He said he stayed up talking to Pupil A but said there were always other people present - although he accepted it was "inappropriate" and "may lead to rumours".
The teacher's colleague said it was "entirely inappropriate" for the teacher involved in the hearing to be alone with Pupil A and there was a "zero tolerance" of pupils consuming alcohol while on the trip, regardless of their age.
He said the teacher sent him a text that said: "Worse thing is in the same situation I'd probably do it again LOL."
The colleague said he wrote a statement about what happened the weekend after returning home.
He asked for a meeting with the school head teacher and handed over his statement, and the head teacher told the hearing the teacher was removed from his classroom and suspended.
She said she spoke to Pupil A's mother on three occasions and the mother said she did not think anything sexual had occurred between her daughter and the teacher.
While the sexual allegations were found not proven, the fitness-to-practise panel ruled that the behaviour did amount to "unacceptable professional conduct".


Sharing news today is so simple, a tweet can be seen by millions - but under the Nazi occupation of Guernsey spreading news could lead to deportation and prison.

Now 70 years on, campaigners are calling for those islanders who defied Hitler's orders in this and other ways, to be properly recognised.
German armed forces ruled the Channel Islands from June 1940 until May 1945.
They imposed a curfew, made everyone carry identity cards, banned the sale of spirits and later banned radios.
Islanders broke all the rules, but it was for continuing to listen to his radio that saw one man deported never to be seen again.
Joseph Gillingham was one of a number of islanders involved in the Guernsey Underground News Service (Guns).
It was a loose collection of people who secretly listened to the BBC News, on home-built or radios they had not handed in, wrote the news down and shared it with other islanders.
Often the news would contradict that put out through the Guernsey Evening Press and The Star, which were only allowed to carry war news provided and approved by the German authorities.
Occupation of the Channel Islands
Mr Gillingham was one of five Guns members who were caught, deported and imprisoned for wireless offences and secretly spreading news.
He was deported on 4 June 1944 - just two days before D-Day - and served 10 months in Naumberg prison, south of Leipzig, Germany.
On his release date on 2 February 1945, he was allowed to say goodbye to his brother-in-law Ernie Legg, but was not seen again.
Searches were unsuccessful and he was officially declared dead in 1947.
His family has resisted island authorities and long campaigned for a memorial for him and those like him who resisted the German occupation.
Jean Harris, who was five months old when her father Mr Gillingham was deported, said it was important they were remembered even if many of those who would have "really appreciated it" such as her mother were no longer alive.
His wife Henrietta had been a part of Guns, but her part was kept secret by her husband and brother so she and her daughter would be safe.  They first pushed for a memorial to be erected in 1947.
"We've been waiting for 70 years for something to happen, but we're hoping this memorial will go up on the wall and I shall feel very proud and honoured," Mrs Harris said.
Her husband Allan is spearheading a campaign to raise about £2,000 for a pink granite memorial to be sited at the White Rock, St Peter Port, alongside other memorials related to World War Two.
Tom Remfrey, chairman of the Guernsey Deportees Association, said no one who had resisted the German occupation was put forward for an award after the war.
He said many islanders were outraged at the decision, which the authorities said was because resistance was against the spirit of the Hague Convention, which along with the Geneva Convention set out laws of war and war crimes in international war.
Mr Remfrey described this as "absolute rubbish" and said Guernsey needed to follow Jersey's lead in marking the impact of the occupation.
On Holocaust Day - 27 January - the names of all those from Jersey who died as a "direct cause or result" of the occupation were read out and the event was "properly and honourably attended", he said.
Dr Gilly Carr, from Cambridge University, who studied resistance in the islands and said it was a subject that divided Guernsey, but she felt those who had committed acts of resistance should be acknowledged as heroes of the occupation.
She said: "The authorities were very worried the Germans would have taken reprisals on the entire community so because this was a very strong line from the island's leaders [not to resist].
"[After the war] it was very hard for people to say actually the resistors did the right thing.
"They were disobeying orders and some people thought they really could have got everyone else into a lot of trouble.
"[But] it's important to acknowledge those who did resist as many of them suffered in German concentration camps and Nazi prisons on the continent."
Most deportees are already remembered on a plaque near to the proposed site of the memorial, commemorating the 1,003 men, women and children deported from Guernsey and Sark during 1942 and 1943.
These deportations were ordered personally by Adolf Hitler in response to the British internment of Germans living in the then Persia, now Iran.
Those sent first were English-born men and dependents followed by those who served as officers in World War One with the majority taken to civilian internment camps in Germany and France.
