The piano was made in London and originally sold to two music teachers in Saffron Walden in 1906.

It was later purchased by a family in the area in the 1980s and they donated it to Bishop's Castle Community College, in south Shropshire, in 2016.

The coins were found by a piano tuner last year and after being declared treasure were offered up for purchase to the British Museum and the Saffron Walden Museum.

The museum in Essex is now looking to raise £3,000 to acquire 12 coins, along with the packaging they were found in and the piano.

The cancellation of this year's V Festival at Weston Park will see charities lose thousands of pounds, it has been revealed.

The festival provided much-needed funds to charitable organisations including the Weston Park Foundation and Shrewsbury-based water charity Village Water.

A Village Water spokesman said it was set to lose up to £15,000 by not being able to provide a trolley water service to festival-goers this year.

"For us the biggest impact of V Festival not taking place will be the loss of funding," he said.

Colin Sweeney, CEO of the Weston Park Foundation, which conserves the park, said: "The significant contribution that hosting the event has made to the charitable objectives of the Weston Park Foundation and the wider regional economy cannot be underestimated."

The financial implications on the foundation's work has not yet been announced.

Wrekin Conservative MP Mark Pritchard says there have been no complaints made against him, after he was named in a BBC Newsnight report on alleged bullying and harassment in the House of Commons.

He is one of a number of MPs who're accused of bullying female clerks, who claim they didn't want to complain in case it affected their careers.

The Newsnight programme said it had "heard time and again about his reputation among women clerks".

But Mr Pritchard responded by saying: "I understand over the past several years the house authorities have addressed numerous complaints about MPs, but they have also informed me they have no record of any complaints against me and if they had I would have been notified."

Doing lots of exercise in older age can prevent the immune system from declining and protect people against infections, scientists say.

Researchers from Brimingham and London followed 125 long-distance cyclists, some now in their 80s, and found they had the immune systems of 20-year-olds.

Prof Janet Lord, director of the Institute of Inflammation and Ageing at the University of Birmingham, and co-author of the research, said: "The immune system declines by about 2-3% a year from our 20s, which is why older people are more susceptible to infections, conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and, potentially, cancer.

"Because the cyclists have the immune system of a 20-year-old rather than a 70 or 80-year-old, it means they have added protection against all these issues."

Free dog mess bags are being offered by Telford and Wrekin Council at 52 locations across the borough.

The campaign is the idea of Newport councillor Peter Scott, who says he has resorted to cleaning it up himself, even though he doesn't even have a dog of his own.

The council says anyone who refuses to clean up after their dog will be handed a £50 fine and failure to pay that could lead to a maximum fine of £2,500.

A third of the temporary roles at the construction equipment giant will be available immediately.
