British law enforcement officers have discovered a mass grave of newborn babies in the English county of Greater Manchester.

According to The Times, citing sources in local authorities, 300 bodies were found in this large grave. Most of them are babies born without signs of life.

The article says that such burials may exist throughout the UK, since until the 1980s, the burial of stillborn children was carried out by hospitals, not by parents.

The existence of such burials became known to the police from an elderly woman who 53 years ago gave birth to twins who died immediately after birth. She said that all these years she had been unsuccessfully searching for where her children were buried.

The newspaper claims, with reference to the Sands charity, which deals with the problems of child mortality, that stillborn babies were often buried in a common grave.

According to volunteers, there are also mass graves with the remains of stillborn children in the counties of Lancashire, Devon, in the cities of Middlesbrough and Huddersfield.

Earlier, EADaily reported that the British major General, who carried the coffin of the deceased spouse of the late Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Philip, lost his rank due to molesting a girl while drunk.
