    He was an enthusiastic and gregarious young man. He was an exceptional sports man and we recently celebrated his success from sports day, when he broke several long standing school records; most notably the 200m. Owen was a key member of our community and we are heartbroken at his loss. He was honourable, generous of spirit and frequently put the concern of others before his own. He respected everybody equally. Our thoughts are very much with Owen’s immediate family during this difficult time."

    Auctioneer Charles Hanson said it was possible an iron cannon ball from the collection may have been used in the Battle of Naseby - one of the most brutal clashes of the English Civil War.

    He said: "We understand it was discovered by someone clearing their vegetable patch in Lutterworth.

    "The weapon has been confirmed by Leicestershire Museums and Art Gallery as being an iron cannon ball similar to ones found not too far away in Naseby.

    "All of the items date back to the 1600s and it is extraordinary to think people found them in their gardens.

    "We do not know whether the toe bones were those of a soldier slain in battle but when you look at the other remnants of war, it is hard not to let your imagination run away with you."
