Fountain of youth

The centrepiece of a historic fountain has been refurbished and is now back on public display in Cambridgeshire.

The domed Coronation fountain on Broad Street in March was officially opened in January 1912, when George V was crowned.

Back then it had a 2-metre-tall drinking feature with four chained cups.

That was removed from the town centre in 1963 and bought by a family, who installed it in their garden.

They've now loaned it to March museum from where John Devine went to see if it's showing its age.
