A four-year-old boy has died after a gravestone fell onto him in a cemetery in Lancashire. Emergency services were called to Rawtenstall Cemetery at around 1pm on Saturday afternoon following reports a gravestone had fallen onto a child. Despite efforts to save him, the boy died. Lancashire Police said his death is not being treated as suspicious and that it will pass a file onto the HM Coroner in due course.

"When supplies dried up in 1862, around 60% of cotton mills of Lancashire stopped production, causing huge hardship and job losses, as well as a riot in Stalybridge."
