Pendant made from nana's wedding ring lost at Kendal Calling

Dan Ingamells was having a great time at the festival when he noticed after the band finished their set that he no longer had the pendant. 

The necklace snapped during Stereophonics' set, letting the pendant drop to the floor

It is irreplaceable because his nana died in April 2021 from lung cancer. His grandad had died sometime before that and Dan, from Workington, made their rings into a pendant in February of this year as a keepsake. 

He said: "It was a difficult time when she died because it was in the middle of the whole COVID situation. We weren't allowed to visit the cancer ward and it was an unexpected death. I didn't get to see her. 

The ring went missing near here after Amy Macdonald's set

"She never took off her ring. She broke her arm once and she needed to take her wedding ring off for a cast. She told the nurse that would rather have her arm taken off.

"I know I had it during the Stereophonics set, my sister got on my shoulders and I assume having the weight on my neck snapped it.

"The staff have been phenomenal. I'm super appreciative of how much help there was. Someone has offered me their metal detector. If you think about where it happened we were at the front of the crowd so it could have been stomped into the floor."

He said that the chances of him finding the ring are 'very slim.' The pendant has gold in it, so Dan hopes that whoever finds it saw his nana's name and birthday inscribed on it and that the 'nostalgia will make them be honest and hand it in.' 

He wants to find it against all hope because what would have been his nana's 95th birthday is next week.

"I am praying for a miracle," he said. "I shouldn't have taken it. Had every other thing been lost I wouldn't have cared. It can't be replaced with money, it can never ever ever be replaced. 

"Kendal Calling is a bit of a community, I am hoping if it has been picked up it will be handed in."
