BBC business editor Robert Peston has appealed for the return of his late wife's engagement and wedding rings after they were stolen in a burglary at his home.

Sian Busby, who was diagnosed with lung cancer five years ago, died in September.

Peston, who lives in north London, tweeted:

The BBC journalist said: "The loss of my late wife's engagement, wedding and Cariad rings is desperately upsetting for me and our two sons.

"I had hoped to pass them on to the boys.

"If anyone knows anything about their whereabouts, I would be so grateful."

Mr Peston took a short leave of absence from his BBC role after his wife died, but has since returned to work.
