'Blitz bones' unearthed in park

Fragments of human and animal bones believed to be dating back to the time of the Blitz have been uncovered by children playing in Regent's Park.

The remains, along with burnt bricks, roof tiles and other debris were found in the central London park on 13 May.

Natural History Museum, which analysed the fragments, said the remains dated back to before 1941 and could have been deposited in the park after the Blitz.
