A woman had a ring cut from her swollen finger by Ely fire service on Monday (January 3).
Jackie Mowatt went to the fire station on Egremont Street to have it removed.
She said: “A massive thank you to Ely fire brigade who cut a ring off my swollen finger.

“The most common would be removing a ring from a finger,” said a spokesperson.
