'Britain's oldest duck' Edwina dies aged 22

A 22-year-old tea drinking mallard, thought to be one of the oldest recorded living ducks, has died.

Edwina was rescued by Ian Knight and Christine Christopher two decades ago after she was almost pecked to death by her family.

The couple, from Ringwood, Hampshire, initially called her Edward but changed her name when she started to lay eggs.

Mr Knight said Edwina, who died on Monday, had been buried in their garden under an ornamental duck as a memorial.
