Couple's plea to find lost wedding ring
Gerald and Christine Dray, of Sandy Vale in Haywards Heath are on the hunt for the ring, believed to have fallen off Gerald’s finger three weeks ago when carrying a 24-pack of loo roll in Haywards Heath town centre.
The pair, who are both retired, have been married for 48 years.

She said: “As you can imagine my parents are gutted. This ring was a replacement for his original one, which broke – it is upsetting as he now can’t wear a wedding ring.
“Carrying the loo roll by the plastic handle, he thinks it may have dug in behind the ring and caused it to fall off, when he let go, as it was a cold day, so his fingers would have shrunk.

“He has searched around areas that he regularly goes to as well, which has been a bit of trek, as he has parkinsons, but still no luck.”
