The remains of a foetus have been found in a park.

The foetus, believed to be about 12 to 20 weeks' gestation, was found in the gardens of Valentines Park in Ilford, east London, soon after 10:30 BST.

It is believed it had been disposed of earlier in the day, which has prompted concerns about mother's welfare.

The Met has appealed for her to contact emergency services "so she can receive any medical treatment she may require".
