FOUND: Mum devastated after irreplaceable tributes stripped from memorial bench - You Need To See This

A mum is "devastated" after "irreplaceable" tributes to her two late sons were stolen from a memorial bench in Wirral.

The benches, which line New Brighton promenade, are part of a Wirral Council approved project that allows people to leave items such as flowers, balloons and personalised ornaments in memory of lost loved ones. Gina Jacobs, 78, purchased one of the benches to commemorate the life of her son Tony, and has recently added another plaque in memory of her other son Robert, who was stillborn.

Last year, people were outraged when a number of the colourful benches were stripped of precious items left in honour of late family members. In recent weeks, families have once again been left "heartbroken" after tributes have disappeared from the benches.
