Lionel the Canterbury Cathedral cat has returned home after disappearing 10 days ago.

The 18-month-old tabby vanished from the historic landmark on Saturday, April 18, sparking an appeal from church bosses.

But Cathedral staff tweeted today to say the wanderer had returned - and is now in the dog house.

The tweet said: "He's back! Lionel - the missing Precinct #cat - coolly reappeared for his breakfast this morning! #wandererreturns"
