"Explosive Garden Decor: UK Police Safely Dispose of Bomb Disguised as Ornament"

A couple in the UK discovered that their garden ornament, which they had believed to be a fake missile for over 40 years, turned out to be a live bomb. The bomb disposal team detonated the shell, which was found by the previous owner of the home and had been used as a target practice dummy by the Royal Navy. The bomb, dating back to the late 19th century, was safely transported away from the residential area and detonated in a quarry. The couple expressed sadness at parting with their long-standing fixture.
