And that's it, Albee back later, now it's time for all the news where you

are. Goodbye for now. Good evening and welcome

to BBC London News. The remains of five former

Archbishops of Canterbury have been found accidentally

underneath a medieval church A tomb containing 30 lead coffins,

which is believed to date back to the 1660s,

was found by builders renovating the church

next to the residence of the head of the Anglican Church.

Dan Freedman has more. Lambeth Palace has been the London

residence of Archbishops of Canterbury since the 13th

century, but a chance renovation work next door yielded

a startling discovery. It's a very interesting

day, actually. We were exposing the ground as part

of the job and we were lifting the slabs in the ark area

and we uncovered an entry We put a camera on the end

of a stick and discovered numerous coffins and one of them had

a gold crown on top of it. We knew the archbishops

had been buried there but all the other bodies - 20,000 -

had all been taken away by the Victorians when they rebuilt

the church, so it was just this one vault that was left,

to our surprise. Among the 30 lead coffins,

they believe there are five I came in thinking, this sounds

like bad news, problem. And, wow, it's the crown,

it's the mitre of an Archbishop We know there are five

archbishops buried here. The first is Archbishop Bancroft,

who chaired the committee that wrote What we don't know, still don't

know, is who else is down there. The redeveloped Garden Museum

where they were discovered You're going to get a glimpse

of the steps leading down and we will hopefully put

on a little exhibition but it is For now, the coffins

will remain where they are. The vault in which they sit

is simply too fragile to explore. A Utah woman, severely injured

in the London terror attack last month, has

returned to her home. Doctors treating Melissa Cochran

here in the capital cleared her to fly home on Monday

and doctors in the States say she's She suffered a shattered left

leg when a car hit her And her husband Kurt died

after he was thrown from the bridge. Easter Day has been celebrated

by Christians across the south but one particular service

was perhaps more poignant than most. It's the first major festival

at Guildford Cathedral since the bishop there gave

a warning two months ago The council refused planning

permission to build homes on land owned by the cathedral,

which would have secured This morning, worshippers

celebrated amidst building Now, it's London's first

"community fridge" - a public fridge where people

can give spare food Caroline Davies went along

to Brixton to see how it works. Whether it's cakes or wonky fruit

and veg, leaving fruit in this Here in Brixton restaurants, shops

and residents are contributing their People who then want

or need it can take it It's been open for two months,

so what did the people who What sort of stuff have

you taken out of there? Mostly fruit and vegetables,

it's quite fresh, I think it's a brilliant idea

because it cuts food waste and hopefully helps the people who

really need food because they can But how many people

who really need it will be walking through this

part of Brixton? They probably won't wander

through of their own accord but we do know they come in

and we intentionally want the fridge to be open for everybody,

we wanted to be a judgment-free zone so that

when someone takes food out of the fridge we aren't thinking,

that person's had a hard day or they are poor,

it's open for everyone. And they are trying

to get the word out in Just the other day a homeless

person was walking around asking for change and I said

we have the fridge inside, want to come

and check it out, you can take food

whenever you like and the first I said yes of course,

just come down and have a look. I think it is about showing

people that it's OK, you know, some things are free,

some things are done They've had interest

from volunteers across London who want to set up their own fridges,

so less food in the capital will get Photographs detailing

life in the East End in the 1940s and '50s

have been published by the Tate. Nigel Henderson took

the photos in Bethnal Green. The pictures include a street

party, a funeral cortege, A look now at the weather

with Georgina Burnett. It's a bit of a soggy end

to Easter Sunday but we've had a good deal of dry weather

and should do tomorrow as well. That rain is going to

be making its way off as we head through

the night but still some remnants left behind

in the morning. Quite a lot of cloud as well

and we could see showers But some bright and sunny spells

with highs of 12 Celsius. A northerly wind, so quite chilly

when you're out of the sunshine. But as we head through the week,

high pressure is in control, so we're seeing a lot of settled

weather but also some frosty nights. That's it, I'll be back

just after 10:20pm. Until then, enjoy the rest

of your Easter Sunday. Good evening if you spend Easter

under cloudy skies with rain hopefully I can promise you

something brighter for tomorrow, not much brightness earlier for our

Weather Watch in Cumbria, there was sunshine, sunny spells of the

northern Scotland as well as some showers, now the rain will begin to

clear away quite quickly towards the south-east as we go through tonight,

behind it it will leave breaks in the cloud, some various bars which

could allow mist patches and maybe a touch of frost in places as well.

High pressure on Easter Monday morning at West, that means a lot of

dry weather, but with no pressure to the East Wing of northerly winds but

behind this weather fronts and cold air working its way in, the fund

itself will bring in this band of rain but also sleet and snow

southwards
