“I invited guests to play with bomb in my garden”

For 66 years Valerie Smith kept a bomb in her garden and invited her neighbours to play with it. 😮💣 Ever since her son brought it home as a child, the mysterious relic had been a "party piece" leaning against her Norfolk shed where guests would pick it up and pass it round during barbecues. The 87-year-old saw no reason to worry; her ex-army husband had inspected it decades ago and declared it was "only a shell". But on Tuesday a gardener spotted the device and alerted the police, causing all of her neighbours on Dowson Road, Norwich, to be evacuated. - BBC Norfolk Subscribe and 🔔 to the BBC 👉 https://bit.ly/BBCYouTubeSub Watch the BBC first on iPlayer 👉 https://bbc.in/iPlayer-Home
