Ted Batchelor from London Underground's Lost Property office with the urn before it was identified
  UNDERGROUND URNIE IDENTIFIED

You may have seen the story of the unidentified Lost Property Urn in Arena: Underground which went out on BBC Four on Tube Night (18th March). Since then an incredible thing has happened. Mr John Fisher, an amateur genealogist, saw the film and took it upon himself to find the family of the lonely urn. After several days' endeavours he located the urn owner's daughter, Molly, in Preston. Molly takes up the story in this BBC London news report:
