Police have confirmed a baby whose body was found in a park was a girl.

The infant, who has been named "Baby M" by Hampshire police, was discovered in Manor Park, Aldershot, on Friday afternoon.

Officers are yet to confirm further details about the child.

A memorial service is to be held by Hope Memorial Church in Manor Park in Aldershot on May 21.

The force have urged the baby's mother to get in touch or go to a hospital, as they are "concerned for her welfare".
