'Elephant Man' skeleton deserves Christian burial, say campaigners

Victorian celebrity's remains should be returned to home town of Leicester, says descendant of one of his managers

Joseph Merrick, who was better known as the "Elephant Man" in the late 1800s, should be given a Christian burial in his home town of Leicester, campaigners have said.

His remains are stored in a glass case in a private room at Queen Mary, University of London, and can be viewed by medical students and professionals by appointment.
