A mysterious plaque has appeared on a bench in Bristol paying tribute to an 'adulterer' with four shocking words.

The inscription reads: 'For My Love. 06.09.69 - 25.12.23. Husband, Father, Adulterer. Yes, Roger, I knew'. It was spotted on a bench in Royal York Crescent in the Clifton area of the city this morning. Commemorative plaques are often attached to benches in memory of lost loved ones.

But this one appears to be a message from a scorned lover. A 63-year-old woman who spotted the plaque said: "I have to say I found it very funny when I saw it. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned."

Back in September 2022, another bench became an unlikely tourist attraction. The bench plaque 'in loathing memory' of Boris Johnson caused a stir. Residents in Atherton, Manchester were left baffled after a plaque was placed on the bench last week - with the person behind the idea remaining a mystery.

Anita and Brian Thomas, whose shop has the bench right on their doorstep, explained that they have seen dozens coming to town just to see the plaque and ‘have a giggle’. The tribute to the former PM says: “In loathing memory of Alexander “Boris” De Pfeffel Johnson. Prime Minister June 2019 to July 2022. Forgotten but not gone.”

Anita said: "We were closed as we were away last week and opened up again and saw that. Everyone is coming now, two bobbies came and one was tying their shoelace on the bench when I asked them if they had seen the plaque, they were shocked. It seems to be getting famous. People are coming into town just to look at it. We have no idea who put it up. It wasn’t us though. I like Boris but I giggled. Now it’s online, everyone has come down.”
