Police close off road after 'bomb' found by gravediggers in Milton Keynes cemetery

Bomb disposal experts are at an MK cemetery this morning after gravediggers unearthed what is believed to be a wartime grenade.

Police have closed off Manor Road Cemetery in Fenny Stratford and also a stretch of road from Eaton Avenue to Aylesbury Street.

It is understood the men were digging a new grave when they came across the grenade.

"They realised it was a bomb and called police. It's probably been there since WW1 or WW2," said a witness.

The Citizen is awaiting an update from police.
