The bottom of the ring suggests it contains ashes

"I am sure they must really want it back. It must mean a lot to them," he said.

Mr Cockrell was with friends when they spotted the ring on Trafalgar Road, near the roundabout.

"We didn't realise until we picked it up and read the writing that it was a ring containing ashes," he said.

"I really hope we can find the owner and get it back to them."
