🚁 You’ve heard about eyes in the sky, but what about ears in the sky? Whilst helping officers with an incident in Darlington on Saturday, @NPAShq landed at Fishburn Airfield and met up with our good boy T/PD Chief.

@DurhamCouncil DCI Mel Sutherland said: “This has been a deeply thought-provoking case. Coming together today has allowed us to properly acknowledge this little boy’s life and ensure he was laid to rest with the dignity and respect he deserved. “We hope he may now rest in peace.”

The service, led by Durham Constabulary in partnership with @DurhamCouncil, brought together members of the community to pay their respects. The baby was discovered by a builder in 2024 at a property in Fore Bondgate, carefully wrapped in a newspaper dated June 19, 1910.

🤍A baby boy whose remains lay undiscovered under floorboards for more than a century has finally been laid to rest. A small and respectful funeral took place at Town Cemetery in Bishop Auckland, for the baby known affectionately as Baby Auckland. durham.police.uk/news/durham/ne…
