The body of Sir Mark Sykes - who died nearly 90 years ago from Spanish Flu - has been exhumed from his grave in the church of St Mary's

What else might be in there???

He sailed back to the UK from Syria via London, where it was thought that he contracted the virus. He died in a Parisian hotel a few days later.
