Return my granddad's ashes, please

|February 15, 2026
SCOTS broadcaster Edith Bowman has made a tearful plea for a suitcase containing some of her grandfather’s ashes to be returned after it was stolen on Friday.
The 52-year-old posted a series of Instagram stories appealing for her missing bag, believing it was stolen during a train journey from London Paddington to Kemble, a village in the Cotswolds.
The radio DJ was frustrated in the first video she shared, and said: “I just got on a train at London Paddington — 9.32am to Cheltenham and got off at Kemble, and some f***** has stolen my case.
“So, if you are that person who took someone else’s luggage off the train between London and Kemble, please, can you return it to the nearest station? I'd really much appreciate that.”
She continued: “Who does that kind of thing? There’s CCTV, so we’re on the case and British Transport Police is being informed.”
The TV star later returned to her Instagram story after realising her suitcase contained sentimental items, and in her next post she was choking back tears.
