January 17th 2009 12:20
execution by firing squad
German spy Josef Jakobs was the last person executed on British soil on the 15th of August 1941 by firing squad.

The chair that he was executed in currently belongs to the Leeds Museum, however before it made it's final journey, a number of the executed man's relatives arrived, asking to see the chair.

The grandchildren of the executed spy were then sat on the chair where he was shot so that happy snaps could be taken!
