A family fulfil sailor's dying wish of throwing his prosthetic leg into sea hoping it would sail to Ibiza - only for it to turn up 30 miles away in Weston-super-Mare Michael Harris, who died in December aged 66, spent 20 years in the merchant navy.
He loved travelling and his last request - half-jokingly - was that his children take his prosthetic leg and send it out to sea. But they took him at his word and daughter Natalie Denning, 41, and sons Ricci Harris, 35, and Daniel Harris, 43, cast the leg away from Michael's hometown of Lydney, Gloucestershire on January 19.
They hoped it would end up somewhere a bit further afield, like Ibiza. But it's so far only travelled 30 miles after washing up on a beach near Weston-super-Mare, Somerset.
