Man spends ten years piecing together ripped up love letters

A widower has spent more than 10 years piecing together thousands of fragments of love letters torn up by his late wife.

Ted Howard, 82, of Ramsey, Cambridgeshire, wrote more than 90 notes to his beloved Mollie between 1948 and 1953.

But Mrs Howard ripped up each one in the 1950s after finding someone reading them. She later stuffed them into a cushion.
