Theme park bosses appealed for the owner of a false leg found underneath a rollercoaster at Alton Towers to come forward.

The artificial limb was discovered as workers began clearing up the site of the park's oldest rollercoaster, the Corkscrew.

The 28-year-old ride at the Staffordshire theme park is due to close next month. A diamond wedding ring was also found during the clean-up operation.
