[QUOTE]More than 200 people have turned out for the funeral of an unidentified baby boy found dead on a path two years ago.
The remains of the infant, thought to be up to six weeks old, were found wrapped in a blanket on an old railway path in the Seafield area of Edinburgh in July 2013.
His mother or family have never been traced, and his identity remains a mystery.
He was laid to rest following a funeral service at Seafield Cemetery. The service was arranged by Police Scotland and members of the public were invited to attend.
Leading the service, Reverend Erica Wishart, of Tranent Parish Church, told mourners: "This is the kind of tragedy that surely touches everyone who hears about it. All of us who gather here today are grieving.[/QUOTE]

I'm well aware. Just pointing out the innocence of someone who can be carried by one person.
Am I missing something or did they wait 2 years after finding him with burying him?

Yeah, they did a massive investigation into it to see if they could find the parents or someone responsible. Something to do with couldn't bury the body without certain criteria being met. Not 100% sure but thats what i had read in local papers.
Life, destroyed before he even got a chance.
Such a Waste
