We all know what it's like to accidentally drop the second half of a bikkie in a cup of tea; the horror, the despair, the downright CRUELTY of life, but at least the packet made it home in the first place, right?

So when one resident of a UK town accidentally dropped a full packet of biscuits on the road, the good folk of Leamington Spa did what any upstanding, law-abiding citizens would do – they made a shrine.

Taking to social media to document the mourning process which took place, Twitter user, Hugh Osborn, uploaded various shots of the tragic scene , and brought most of us to tears at the same time.

UPDATE: The daffodils are gone but tributes continue to be left for the fallen digestives

And like all good social media campaigns, it wasn't long before the individual at the centre of the sad case came forward, tweeting: "These were my biscuits! OMG!"

Devastated on behalf of their fellow biscuit-lover, Twitter wasted no time expressing their deepest condonlences.
