Funeral Held For '100-Year-Old Teenager' Hayley Okines
A funeral has been held in Sidley, East Sussex, for Hayley Okines, known as the "100-year-old teenager".
17-year-old Hayley died earlier this month from progeria, a rare genetic condition which cases sufferers to age eight times faster than normal.
The funeral was held at All Saints Church in Sidley, where mourners were read a letter from the prince of Wales, in which he recalled "her infectious love of life" and described Hayley as "an inspiration to millions".
Stolen Drills Not Used In Hatton Garden Raid
Scotland Yard have ruled out any link between the theft of power tools in city of London and the Hatton Garden jewellery heist.
Two Hilti drills stolen from a building site earlier this year were found to be the same type and model used by robbers who raided safety deposit boxes earlier this month.
However, police have now said that the stolen drills are not those recovered from the Hatton Garden crime scene.
North Wales Police To Wear Cameras
Police in North Wales are to wear body-mounted cameras to "help capture evidence of crime".
Following a six-month trail held last year, the force has bought 128 camera kits in a scheme jointly funded by the Ministry of Justice and the police and crime commissioner's office.
It is hoped that the cameras will help reduce confrontations with officers and complaints.
