A couple was shocked to hear that an ornament in the garden was a live bomb that could explode at any time.
The incident took place in Pembrokeshire, UK, where a couple had a 100-year-old bomb in their garden for decorative purposes.
The couple couldn’t believe it when they were told the bomb could explode any time.
1189 Neil – Very interesting 24 hours working with the Army EOD, extracting a live explosive shell from a residential property, relocating it to a local quarry for overnight "guarding", before detonating it this morning. The great variety of Neighbourhood Policing!!! pic.twitter.com/v6kblt2Fbs

Couple Thought It Was A Dummy Bomb
Mr Sian and Mrs Jeffrey Edwards, a couple who had the bomb, said they thought the bomb was not real.
“The couple had thought it was a “dummy” bomb with no charge”, the BBC reported.

Bomb Detonated
The Defense Ministry at once dispatched a bomb disposal squad to swiftly remove the 64lb (29kg) bomb from the garden.
The detonation was like losing an old friend, 77-year-old Mr Edwards said, who spent 74 years in the street.
“It was an old friend. I’m so sorry that the poor old thing was blown to pieces.” he said.
