A memorial stone has been unveiled to honour an Anglo-Saxon family who were reburied in Melbourn in 2015.
The remains of a man, woman and two children who lived around 600AD were found at a nearby burial site during an archaeological survey in 2000.

Melbourn Parish Council has now installed a memorial, crafted from Portland stone, in New Road Cemetery to mark the family's final resting place.
Melbourn is one of the only villages in the UK allowed to rebury ancient remains, and the stone reflects the determination of those who worked hard to reinstate the family.
Parish council maintenance committee chair Cllr John Travis said: "The memorial is a tribute to our ancestors and a reminder of our village’s deep historical roots."
