A 79-year-old professional violinist with the London Philharmonic Orchestra has been reunited with his missing violin, with help from the BBC, after he suspected it had been stolen from a train.
Joseph Maher believed his 20th Century violin had been taken from overhead storage on a Thameslink route to Cambridge, after he got off the train without it at Blackfriars on Friday.
Maher said inside the violin case were two bows, one of which he had owned since he was 18 and was of great personal value.
Thameslink said Maher had been reunited with his violin on Tuesday morning, after it was located by a member of staff.
