Gnome prankster unmasked at funeral

Updated

For ten years, villagers in Brattleby, Lincolnshire were mystified by the unexpected appearance of gnomes in their gardens. But the truth has now finally been revealed at the prankster's funeral earlier this week.

Peter Leighton, 61, had asked his son David, 32, to come clean before his death from prostate cancer. Back in 2003, Peter and David, along with friend Ben Page, carried out the first prank at dead of night.
