"It was such a gorgeous story," Mr Irving said."I've been here five years and I've never seen that sign, so it's got to [have been missing for] over five years." The sign is in the shape of an arrow, with the The Dock Museum and 0.5km written on it."I'll be using those sign writers again, it's in good nick," Mr Irving said having seen how well it has been museum team believe a storm must have dislodged the sign and it ended up in the sea. Reunion plans Mr Smith said his daughter was "over the moon about" the discovery."I originally thought it maybe came from Belfast. "Even if it had come from Belfast that would have been quite a journey- we're talking seven or eight miles."His daughter was the one who suggested they contact the museum to try and get the sign back to plan is for them to travel over to Cumbria to hand it back in person."It's a good excuse to come to Cumbria, I've always wanted to come to Cumbria," Mr Smith said."It seems like a beautiful part of the world."Mr Irving said The Dock Museum will give Jonny and his daughter "VIP treatment" and the story will eventually appear somewhere in the museum.

Wigan 1-2 Fulham: Muniz at the double as Cottagers edge through
Fulham travelled to the Brick Community Stadium having exited the FA Cup fourth round in four of the previous five seasons, and they needed to survive a late Wigan onslaught to avoid another early exit on Cottagers dominated the first half and should perhaps have led by more than Rodrigo Muniz's header at the break.A second Fulham goal seemed only a matter of time early in the second half, but Jonny Smith's stunning strike - Wigan's first shot on target - changed the complexion of the restored the visitors' advantage not long afterwards, but Wigan soon regrouped and went close to a second equaliser when Ronan Darcy curled a shot wide from the edge of the Diop almost put through his own net and Scott Smith forced a fine save out of Steven Benda, before Darcy had a late goal ruled out for the end, Fulham held on by the skin of their teeth to confirm their place in the fifth round.
