Class of 99 returns to school for time capsule, and can't find it

A group of ex-pupils who returned to their old school to retrieve a time capsule they buried 20 years ago were left baffled - because they forgot where they had put it.

Staff at Norwich Road Academy, Norfolk, have even dug holes across the site and used metal detectors in a bid to find the capsule.

Mum-of-two Hannah Hedingham, 33, organised a school reunion with her class from 1999 and had planned to open the time capsule as a group.

However, when they went to dig up the time capsule at Norwich Road Academy, Thetford, Norfolk, they realised they had no idea where they buried it.

Hannah said: "I'm quite adamant I know where it is but other people are also adamant they know where it is.

"The school has dug up a few holes where we have said: 'Yep it's definitely there', but we just can't find it."

Hannah says the capsule contains momentoes from 1999 including a VHS tape recording of some of them as teenagers speaking at the school.
