The United Synagogue has appealed for volunteers to come forward to act as stewards for a special burial ceremony on Sunday for the remains of six Holocaust victims, with hundreds of members of the Jewish community expected to attend.

In a statement on Twitter, the organisation said it “urgently" needed volunteers to help at the Bushey New Cemetery from 9.30am to 1.30pm.

The Imperial War Museum (IWM) will be handing over the remains, which have been in its archive since 1997, to the United Synagogue.
