Bomb team detonates artillery shell on beach

Bomb disposal teams have intervened at two separate coastal locations following the discovery of artillery shells. In Maryport's South Shore, a shell was detonated as part of a series of ordnance finds along the Cumbria coast. Similarly, in East Lothian, a 20-pound artillery shell was found by a member of the public, leading to the area being cordoned off. Both incidents required specialist bomb squad attendance to ensure public safety on the beaches.
