HALLOWEEN revellers are being warned about the dangers of “spooky” contact lenses.

The coloured cosmetic lenses should only be sold by a registered optician or doctor, who is qualified to provide after-care advice, but are illegally often sold online, in shops and on market stalls.

Highlights from the Feast! Food at Stonehenge exhibition include the skull of an aurochs, an extinct species of wild cattle with huge horns and a rare complete Bronze cauldron dating from 700BC, which would have formed a centrepiece of feasts.
