A football fan has been reunited with his wedding ring containing his late baby son’s ashes after he lost it at a match.
Bristol City supporter Andrew Olpin was wearing the ring when his side played Hull City.
The treasured jewellery had the ashes of his eight-week-old boy Harrison in it.
He passed away in November 2022.
