Why Lego pieces are still washing up in Cornwall

Tracey Williams has been on a mission collecting pieces for years.

More than five million Lego pieces were lost from the Tokio Express off Land's End in 1997, when a freak wave knocked 62 containers into the sea.

Pieces have been washing up along Cornish beaches ever since, and have been found as far away as the Channel Islands, Ireland, Holland and Denmark.

Tracey Williams has even written a book about the issue and has been telling us more about her finds.
