Waters (right), 73, said he was "particularly eager" to see the wooden cane, which was also used on late band mate Syd Barrett and Floyd collaborator Storm Thorgerson.

The punishment was used by the headmaster at Cambridge and County High School for Boys on his pupils and inspired the cane-wielding school teacher character from the band's "The Wall" tour.

Asked what the beatings were like, Waters said: "It was flimsy. The headmaster didn't really have his heart in capital punishment or corporate punishment".   

It comes with a book detailing the dates and reasons for the beatings, with Waters admitting he felt "inordinately proud" of his own entry for fighting, adding "six strokes for fighting is my entry".

Drummer Nick Mason (left) revealed that Thorgeson, who died in 2013, had been the school's most punished pupil, according to the log book.

The Pink Floyd Exhibition: Their Mortal Remains runs from 13 May to 1 October at the V&A in London.

Meanwhile, the pair also revealed they would consider playing Glastonbury again, with Mason, saying: "I think it would be nice to add it to the list."

The prosecution in the trial of Ian Stewart, accused of murdering Hertfordshire author Helen Bailey, have described him as a "devious killer".

Mr Stuart Trimmer QC told St Albans Crown Court if the accused's story was true that two men named Nick and Joe kidnapped Ms Bailey, then why hadn't he said anything about the pair to detectives on 15 July when her body was found.

The prosecutor said it was only in November Mr Stewart mentioned Nick and Joe for the first time.

Mr Trimmer said: "The defence case statement was late because he was beavering away, examining the prosecution papers to come up with a tale he was making up."

He said Mr Stewart's story had been "woven around" the crown's case and was "utterly absurd"

Summing up to the jury, he said: "Stewart is the gorgeous grey-haired widower. You've seen him, heard his story. You have seen how she changed her entire wealth structure in his favour and you've heard a host of lies.

"He is a devious killer. Look at all the evidence and you will conclude he is the killer as charged."

Mr Stewart, 56, of Baldock Road, Royston, denies murder, preventing a lawful burial, fraud, and three counts of perverting the course of justice.

The trial continues.

Cambridge Cycling Campaign, external have been behind the Abbey-Chesterton Bridge and expressed its "strong support for both the bridge design and location".

Not everyone is for it though.

Fen Ditton Parish Council raised their objections to the "citing of the bridge on Ditton Meadows and the access on the northern bank of the River Cam", and the "effect" it will have on nearby views.

It's not often I can make a splash all in the name of investigative reporting, but today I jumped in with both feet!

I was lucky enough to take part in the East Anglian Puddle Jumping Championships, external, which are taking part at Welney Wetland Centre until Sunday. 

You're judged in the following three key categories. 

1. The enthusiasm of the jumper
2. The creativity of the jump
3. The height of the splash (most importantly)

I'll let you work out just how good I was!

This poor fox was badly hurt when he was hit by a car and became trapped underneath it, near March in Cambridgeshire.

Luckily, the driver called Fenland Animal Rescue volunteers to come to the aid of the animal.

After jacking up the car they released the fox, but it was unable to stand, so they rushed him to vets who took X-rays and scanned him for potential neurological damage.

"This poor boy was in a terrible situation," Josh Flanagan, the charity's founder, said.

Thankfully, although in need of specialist treatment, there didn't appear to be any permanent damage.

"Mr Fox" has now been taken to the Rushden-based National Fox Welfare Society in Northamptonshire for a period of intensive care, where he's "doing very well". 

He'll then return to Fenland Animal Rescue, where staff will care for him for up to three months until he is able to be returned to the wild. 

Vets have told them the fox should make a full recovery.

The dream of a "hovertrain" in the Fens has become the subject of a new film. 

The high-speed form of transport was being tested on the flat lands of Haddenham Levels in the 1960s and '70s. 

The Cambridge Archaeological Unit, external has made a film called The Train that Floats in the Sky, external, which looks into how "Fenland utopias" played an important role in the world's history of high-speed transport.

It seems like the land itself played a key part in being a "test bed" for science, because it was "long, straight and flat".

The message seems to be pretty clear from officials...

"Dangerous parking outside schools is a real problem in Peterborough and we urge parents and drivers to think about the potentially disastrous consequences that this may cause to children's lives," said Irene Walsh, city council cabinet member for communities and environment capital. 

She said parents need to be more "responsible on the school run" as bad parking is putting "children in danger". 

"We ask that parents and drivers work with us by leaving enough time to park further away from the school gates and walking the last part of their journey," she added.
