The park bench that tells over 300 stories

Elizabeth Gomm lost her partner Mike, to cancer, after 25 years together. She decided to put a plaque and a sign on a local park bench in Blackpool in the UK, asking people who sit there to send her their own stories. Straight away she received some messages and soon became overwhelmed with the response.
