A woman dubbed the ‘blackberry bush baby’ after she was abandoned aged nine months old at a beauty spot learnt the identity of her parents - thanks to DNA from the back of a stamp.

Anthea Ring was discovered on the South Downs, near Sompting, West Sussex, by holidaymakers who heard her cries, 80 years ago.

The tot’s arms had been bound together with a strip of fabric torn from the bottom of her dress and she was covered in scratches from the brambles, but was otherwise in a good condition.
