An ornate urn containing ashes that was found in the back of an Edinburgh taxi has been reunited with its owner.

The urn, held inside a small velvet box with a metal clipper, was found in the back of a black cab at 2am on Sunday, April 30.

Police appealed for its rightful owners to come forward after no one claimed the item.

On Tuesday, police said a man came forward to claim the urn.
