This is East Midlands Today with Anne Davies and Dominic Heale. Our | :00:03. | :00:05. | |
top story tonight - the talented young footballer who died smuggling | :00:05. | :00:15. | |
:00:15. | :00:16. | ||
drugs. Reece Staples died in police custody after a packet of cocaine | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
he had swallowed burst. Also tonight, the mystery rescuer | :00:18. | :00:26. | |
who saved a five-year-old girl from drowning. I would like to say thank | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
you for carrying me home and getting me out of the river. | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
Plus, a rare music for a rare instrument, a long-lost Elgar is | :00:33. | :00:42. | |
found in Loughborough. He had to have his arm twisted to write it. I | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
don't think he was keen to write it because it was an instrument he was | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
not familiar with. And the wedding film finally | :00:49. | :00:59. | |
:00:59. | :01:03. | ||
reunited with the happy couple, 52 Good evening. Welcome to | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
Wednesday's programme. Police officers have told an inquest they | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
deeply regret not believing a teenager who told them he'd | :01:08. | :01:15. | |
swallowed cocaine which he'd smuggled in from Costa Rica. They | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
were later disciplined for gross misconduct. 19-year-old Reece | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
Staples was a former Nottingham Forest Academy player. He died | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
after one of the 19 packets he'd swallowed burst, releasing a fatal | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
dose of the drug. Our chief news reporter Quentin Rayner was at | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
today's hearing. In June 2009 Reece Staples returned | :01:34. | :01:42. | |
from a trip to Costa Rica. Inside his stomach were 19 packets of | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
cocaine which he'd swallowed a week before and smuggled into the | :01:44. | :01:50. | |
country. In the early hours of a Sunday morning, he went to the | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
house shared by his aunt and uncle in Old Basford and started smashing | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
the windscreens of their cars and hitting their front door. Witnesses | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
said he seemed very agitated and repeatedly shouted, "I'm going to | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
die". He was arrested and taken to | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
Oxclose Lane Station in Nottingham where four hours later he collapsed | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
and was pronounced dead on arrival at hospital. The inquest heard from | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
some of the five police officers who were later disciplined for | :02:10. | :02:16. | |
gross misconduct for their handling of the case. When the teenager was | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
arrested in Old Basford he told the officers he'd swallowed cocaine | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
from Costa Rica, it had burst and he was going to die. But the | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
officer who spoke to him dismissed his comments because he'd already | :02:25. | :02:31. | |
lied about having a knife and tried to run away from them. Sergeant | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
Neil Haynes said he hadn't been trained to spot the symptoms of | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
cocaine overdose. He said, "I should have asked more questions. I | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
wish I had and I clearly regret that". The arresting officer, PC | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
Ben Hensell said he failed in his duties in not telling the custody | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
sergeant straight away about Reece claiming to have swallowed cocaine. | :02:48. | :02:55. | |
When he did later, nothing was done. Dr David Rouse, a forensic | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
pathologist, said whatever time Reece was taken to hospital he | :02:57. | :03:05. | |
wouldn't have survived. Dr Rouse said it was impossible to say when | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
the packet of cocaine ruptured. Cocaine levels of more than five | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
were always fatal. Reece's level was over ten. Officers have been | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
given updated training. In future those claiming to have swallowed | :03:18. | :03:25. | |
drugs are taken to hospital immediately. The inquest continues. | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
The family of a five-year-old say they're desperate to find the | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
mystery man who apparently saved their little girl's life. Millie | :03:33. | :03:42. | |
Chapman fell in a canal near her home in Leicester. She'd been out | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
walking with her grandfather. Our reporter Helen Astle is at the | :03:44. | :03:52. | |
canal this evening. It is pretty chilly here tonight | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
but it has even called when the canal was frozen and little Milly | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
is certainly very lucky. We were just walking along by the | :03:59. | :04:08. | |
side of the can now and she started to trip -- by the canal. But she | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
just fell backwards into the canal. To see her face under the water and | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
I managed to grab a coat and pull her to the side but she stepped out | :04:15. | :04:22. | |
of my hands and then I was able to hold her head above the water and | :04:22. | :04:28. | |
shouting help. Quite loudly. She is now safe and at home with | :04:28. | :04:34. | |
her mum that she remembers clearly what happened and being rescued. | :04:34. | :04:42. | |
heard granddad shouting. And then he came and helped and I found a | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
rock in the water, stood on that and he could get me up. | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
After lifting her out of the canal, the mystery man carried her half-a- | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
mile home talking to her all the time. He could have saved her life. | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
Her grandad had got her so she was not drowning but he saved her life. | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
It could have been a bit longer and she could have got hyperthermia or | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
anything. We owe him everything. The family are now desperate to | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
find the man and thank him. literally took her to the door, | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
gave her to her grande marque and the grandmother said "please come | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
in and get dry, have a cup of tea" and he could not and he said he | :05:24. | :05:29. | |
needed to go so that is why we weren't able to get any name of or | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
a phone number or address. thought it was fantastic. Amazing. | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
I just would reveal like to have expressed my appreciation. I would | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
like to say thank you for carrying me home and getting me out of the | :05:42. | :05:50. | |
As you can see, she is absolutely fine. The mystery man has not come | :05:50. | :05:57. | |
forward still but the family would love to find him to say thank you. | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
Still to come on the programme, are Nottingham's parking charges too | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
complicated and costly? Plus - it's all change on the weather with | :06:03. | :06:12. | |
double digit temperatures, then a bit of a dip. Just as we get used | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
to be milder temperatures, there's news of the colder air returning | :06:15. | :06:25. | |
:06:25. | :06:26. | ||
but will it be as bad as last time? Unemployment in the region has gone | :06:26. | :06:34. | |
up again and now stands at 8.2%, just below the national average. | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
The latest figures show that there were 188,000 people out of work | :06:37. | :06:45. | |
between October and December. That's an increase of 1,000. | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
Once again, the figures highlight the difficulties that young people | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
face finding work. From Leicester, here's our political editor, John | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
Hess. The monthly unemployment figures | :06:52. | :07:01. | |
can mask the real picture. In this area of Leicester, the number out | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
of work is a third higher than the regional East Midlands average. | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
This project is helping to give young people the chance to get into | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
the world of work. These teenagers want to build | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
themselves better opportunities in the jobs market. This is part of a | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
training project run by Stride. It's not a college or a Government | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
agency, but a community based social enterprise. At the minute | :07:21. | :07:28. | |
I'm on my NVQ level two and it's fun. I am hoping to pass it. What | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
skills are you getting? brickwork skills and everything | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
that comes with it. Hopefully I want to go abroad when I've | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
qualified out in Australia and Germany, there's more work. | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
Stride also offers training in hairdressing and carpentry. Profits | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
from its range of services, together with some Government | :07:44. | :07:53. | |
support, fund up to 500 places. We've got to look to the future and | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
these people if we train them now, they'll be good employees for the | :07:57. | :08:03. | |
rest of the lives. It's also about giving young adults the skills and | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
confidence to put them in the driving seat. I was signing on.I | :08:07. | :08:15. | |
couldn't find work anywhere. It was hard to find placements. When I saw | :08:15. | :08:20. | |
this advertising, I applied for it. So I applied here and it's really | :08:20. | :08:27. | |
helped a lot. It's got jobs in all sorts of fields. It's really good. | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
The project was set up 12 years ago.and with David Cameron's "big | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
society" thinking, this model of social enterprise, may get into its | :08:33. | :08:43. | |
:08:43. | :08:43. | ||
own stride in helping to tackle The man who died in a crash on the | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
A46 in Leicestershire has been named as 41 year old Andrew Peel | :08:46. | :08:54. | |
from Groby. Three vehicles were involved. Mr Peel was driving an | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
Audi TT and died at the scene. Two other men were arrested in | :08:58. | :09:00. | |
connection with the incident and have been released on police bail | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
while the investigation continues. Profits at the Derbyshire based | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
chocolate maker Thorntons have fallen sharply because of poor | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
Christmas sales. The company's announced half-year profits, before | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
tax, of just over �3 million. That's compared with almost �8.5 | :09:13. | :09:18. | |
million for the same time last year. Thorntons says it's going ahead | :09:18. | :09:24. | |
with plans to close at least 120 shops. | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
Business owners in Nottingham say new on-street parking charges | :09:26. | :09:32. | |
introduced by the city council in November are driving customers away. | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
Last week the council agreed to reduce the tariffs on Sundays and | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
evenings after receiving complaints. But traders say it's just not | :09:40. | :09:46. | |
enough. Tom Brown reports. People have been coming to this | :09:46. | :09:52. | |
cafe in Nottingham for the last seven years. But with parking | :09:52. | :09:58. | |
charges going up, the number of customers has been going down. | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
People once saw it as a bonus that they could come for free and now | :10:02. | :10:07. | |
they cannot. Also now there is a maximum stay in post of an hour | :10:07. | :10:15. | |
which doesn't leave you much to -- much time. Last November the city | :10:15. | :10:17. | |
council divided Nottingham into three parking zones, spread out | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
across the city centre. It says they reflect demand, so prices vary | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
between them, as does the amount of time you can park there for. The | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
council also extended the existing charges into evenings and on to | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
Sundays, and it was this that led to complaints from businesses and | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
shoppers. They said the system was complicated and expensive. Last | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
week the council agreed to simplify it and from April there'll be a one | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
pound flat rate on Sundays and in the evenings. But traders are still | :10:38. | :10:44. | |
worried. Probably they were the right changes to make but what | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
businesses have said and turned up evenings and Sundays, the level of | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
the charges was driving people out of the city. That is what we have | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
heard and we have listened to it and it was the right thing to do. | :10:54. | :11:01. | |
As a result, we have made changes. But traders are still worried. So | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
far, more than 1,200 people have signed Jasmin's petition which | :11:04. | :11:10. | |
calls on the council to scrap the new charges altogether. We were | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
meant to understand this is dangerous and businesses cannot | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
sustain losing this amount of money that some of them are. Some of them | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
are losing more than we are and if it carries on, they are going to be | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
seeing lots more empty shops and restaurants. What will happen to | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
the city then? The council says the new parking system will encourage a | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
higher turnover of shoppers and boost trade in the city. Some | :11:30. | :11:36. | |
businesses say the opposite is happening. | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
Nottinghamshire County Council is to press ahead with plans to shut a | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
furniture factory staffed by people with disabilities. Sherwood | :11:42. | :11:49. | |
Industries in Rainworth employs 40 people. The council says last year | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
it cost more than �750,000, because orders fell. Councillors will meet | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
next week to discuss moving the workers to other supported | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
businesses or into mainstream employment. | :11:59. | :12:05. | |
The Prince of Wales will be visiting Derbyshire next week. | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
Prince Charles was last here a year ago when he was at Royal Crown | :12:09. | :12:11. | |
Derby. This time he'll be meeting workers at the train-maker | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
Bombardier and staff at Rolls-Royce. He'll also be touring Haddon Hall | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
in Bakewell. The royal visit is on Friday 24th February. | :12:19. | :12:24. | |
And now the final part of our series called Life After Loss. | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
Tonight we look at how a ten-year- old Leicestershire girl inspired | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
her friends and her classmates. A dance academy was set up in | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
Bottesford following the death of Rosie May Storrie in 2003. It ran | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
until last summer, finishing on what would have been her 18th | :12:38. | :12:42. | |
birthday. But as Carolyn Moses reports, her legacy - and that of | :12:42. | :12:52. | |
:12:52. | :12:59. | ||
the academy - lives on. This is Around the her being just happy. | :12:59. | :13:06. | |
Fun, she just loved dancing -- I remember her just being happy. | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
There was not a week when we did not go round to each other's houses. | :13:10. | :13:16. | |
But at 10 years old, Rosie May was dead, murdered by a teenager at a | :13:16. | :13:22. | |
Christmas party. It was really hard, I was really shocked at how she | :13:22. | :13:29. | |
died. It was horrible for everybody involved. The year after she was | :13:29. | :13:35. | |
murdered... Her parents set up a show Lankan orphanage in her name | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
now home to 21 girls -- straw Lankan orphanage. There was under | :13:39. | :13:43. | |
closer to home as well, an academy for selected dancers. To get the | :13:43. | :13:51. | |
best of training. We wanted to give other girls the opportunity to be | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
taught by the best in the business. And to give them a future that | :13:55. | :14:01. | |
Rosie may have been denied. people say you can think of someone | :14:01. | :14:08. | |
when you dance and nothing we all did. To have up West End | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
professionals come from West End shows, it was amazing. You don't | :14:12. | :14:20. | |
often get that opportunity. It was great to have that experience. | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
that experience has got the girls to London and to Liverpool to | :14:24. | :14:34. | |
pursue their dream of professional They say it was Rosie may's academy | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
which set them on their way. Obviously I have got this far now | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
and I never thought I would be doing a dance career. I never | :14:41. | :14:51. | |
:14:51. | :14:57. | ||
thought I would be doing this but # In your heart, in your mind, I | :14:57. | :15:02. | |
still feel right here. And sun. And how do they feel about this | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
now? I am inspired to have taken something so tragic and it gave me | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
the opportunity to do something important as well. If she was sat | :15:10. | :15:15. | |
next to me right now, she would be very proud of us. I do feel | :15:15. | :15:23. | |
sometimes that she does look down on us and staff and she is happy. - | :15:23. | :15:29. | |
Still to come, the mystery of that forgotten 1950s wedding film is | :15:29. | :15:35. | |
solved. Last night we asked, do you know who these newly-weds are? | :15:35. | :15:45. | |
:15:45. | :15:47. | ||
Minutes after the appeal went out, When you think of the composer | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
Elgar, I bet you think of Land Of Hope And Glory, or perhaps Nimrod | :15:50. | :15:56. | |
from the Enigma Variations. But I bet you don't associate him with | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
the Carillon Tower in Loughborough. It's long been known he composed | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
music for the opening of the famous bell tower memorial in 1923. But | :16:03. | :16:05. | |
the original score had disappeared, until now. James Roberson takes up | :16:06. | :16:15. | |
:16:16. | :16:34. | ||
Inside the Carillon in Loughborough, the lady plays a memorial called | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
Chimes but this is not just by any composer, this is by Sir Edward | :16:37. | :16:47. | |
:16:47. | :16:48. | ||
The piece was composed specially for the opening of the Royal | :16:48. | :16:52. | |
memorial tower in 1923. -- war memorial tower. Thousands turned | :16:52. | :16:55. | |
out to hear it, and it was transcribed from which it has been | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
played regularly ever since. Recently staff at the local council | :17:00. | :17:04. | |
were sorting some old boxes in this strong run and came across some | :17:04. | :17:09. | |
interesting documents. Staff here were having a bit of a sprinkling | :17:09. | :17:16. | |
and in an old dusty box, we found the old school itself. The staff I | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
can say were very excited when they realised it was the original Elgar | :17:19. | :17:24. | |
score. As far as I am aware, he has to have his arm twisted to write it. | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
He was not keen to write it. It was not an instrument he was familiar | :17:28. | :17:33. | |
well. They also found letters in his scrawled writing and this last, | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
carefully-typed. Algar unfortunately could not be | :17:38. | :17:42. | |
here for the opening of the Carillon and the playing of his | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
piece. It is the only piece of music that Elgar wrote for Carillon | :17:46. | :17:53. | |
so it is a very, very exciting find for us. The council hopes to put | :17:53. | :17:56. | |
the documents on display in future and also an old film of the opening | :17:56. | :18:06. | |
:18:06. | :18:06. | ||
so that they can all be enjoyed by Sounds beautiful from the outside | :18:06. | :18:11. | |
but when you are there with those cuboid things, it is quite clunky. | :18:11. | :18:20. | |
-- with those keyboard things. And in sport, here we are. | :18:20. | :18:22. | |
Last night was disappointing all round for our clubs in the | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
Championship. Three games and three defeats for Forest, Leicester and | :18:25. | :18:28. | |
Derby. More on the Rams in a moment but first Jeremy Nicholas takes a | :18:28. | :18:38. | |
look at how things went wrong for Middlesbrough's two goals either | :18:38. | :18:40. | |
side of half-time the forest second-from-bottom six points | :18:40. | :18:45. | |
adrift of safety with just one win in the last 13 league games. When | :18:45. | :18:51. | |
Andy Reid's free-kick was headed in by a dual Lynch, especially when | :18:51. | :18:56. | |
Kevin Thomson came in with his second card -- sent off for his | :18:56. | :19:02. | |
second car. Adelene Guedioura hit the bar and the effort was | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
disallowed for a foul on the keeper. Steve Cotterill's old club | :19:06. | :19:09. | |
Portsmouth are expected to go into administration for a second time | :19:09. | :19:12. | |
which would see them docked 10 points putting them level on points | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
with Forest. Nigel Pearson was not happy with | :19:16. | :19:21. | |
the goals his Leicester side let in at Watford. A goal down inside five | :19:21. | :19:25. | |
minutes, Leicester fought back. David Nugent's goal from the left | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
had a touch of the Gareth Bale about it. And his second goal was | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
even better taking the ball on the volley to give Leicester the lead. | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
But poor defending from another free-kick let the home side back | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
into the game. At 2-2, the next goal would win it and for a long | :19:39. | :19:44. | |
time, it looked like Leicester would score it. They dominated but | :19:44. | :19:50. | |
Forsyth won it for what food. And even when Doyle was sent off -- | :19:50. | :19:53. | |
Lloyd Doyley was sent off, and Leicester could not find their way | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
back. So from those two defeats to | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
another, I'm afraid. Derby County were playing Reading and fans were | :19:59. | :20:03. | |
hoping to see the Rams make it five home wins in a row. It wasn't to be, | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
though, and there certainly wasn't much in the way of entertainment on | :20:06. | :20:16. | |
Derby had been enjoying some good home form going into this game and | :20:16. | :20:22. | |
fans were largely expectant. Good team, those Reading people. But we | :20:22. | :20:27. | |
can beat anybody on the day. have not been able to beat them | :20:27. | :20:32. | |
previously but this season we are getting there. Riding a one-off the | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
dubious clubs that we sometimes often lose to -- Reading are one of | :20:35. | :20:39. | |
those clubs. And there was good cause for concern. After a dire | :20:39. | :20:49. | |
:20:49. | :20:50. | ||
first half with few chances, Noel Hunt headed into the Derby goal. | :20:50. | :20:54. | |
The grounds then rallied but for all the effort, it never looked | :20:54. | :21:00. | |
like finding an equaliser. I didn't think we were going to be as poor | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
as we were tonight. We have been difficult to beat, even the ball | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
coming into the box for the goal. We have dealt with those bread-and- | :21:07. | :21:13. | |
butter things, the two centres hearts have dealt with those. | :21:13. | :21:17. | |
lads were disappointed at half-time, and we wanted to get out then that | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
we could not quite pull it off but I am sure we will go on to | :21:20. | :21:25. | |
Saturday's game and try to pick up all three points there. And the | :21:25. | :21:34. | |
So that's all the bad news over with. In League One it was a much | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
better night for Notts County. They hadn't played in two weeks but | :21:37. | :21:46. | |
returned to action with a win at Not may have seen the last two | :21:46. | :21:50. | |
games postponed but it did not take long to get into the swing of | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
things -- Nottingham may have seen. Eliot used third thank you for this | :21:54. | :21:59. | |
gift of a goal. The celebrations were pretty short-lived with Exeter | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
heading in from a corner but then this, you don't get much clearer | :22:02. | :22:06. | |
penalty that decisions. And you don't often see Jeff Hughes missing | :22:06. | :22:10. | |
them. That is his 8th from the penalty spot this season. | :22:10. | :22:18. | |
Nottingham are 9th... And there's more action at Meadow | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
Lane tonight. This time, rugby. Nottingham play Doncaster in a | :22:21. | :22:25. | |
rearranged game. After all the bad weather, this will actually be | :22:25. | :22:28. | |
their first home game this year. There could be trouble for | :22:28. | :22:33. | |
Leicester Tigers player, Julian White. He's been accused of | :22:33. | :22:35. | |
stamping on another player during Saturday's defeat at Exeter. It's | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
going before a disciplinary panel tonight. Some good news for Tigers | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
though. England players Manu Tuilagi, Toby Flood and Thomas | :22:41. | :22:50. | |
Waldrom will all be available for That is your sport. | :22:50. | :22:52. | |
Thank you very much. Last night, to celebrate | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
Valentine's Day, we showed you some old footage of a wedding which took | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
place in the 1950s. The film had been sitting forgotten in a | :22:58. | :23:01. | |
cupboard ever since. No-one knew who the couple seen tying the knot | :23:01. | :23:06. | |
actually were - until our programme ended. The couple's son got in | :23:06. | :23:10. | |
touch with us and Angelina Socci has been to meet them at their home | :23:10. | :23:20. | |
:23:20. | :23:22. | ||
This is the footage Elaine and Bryan Pickering did not even know | :23:22. | :23:27. | |
about. That is until they recognise themselves on East Midlands Today. | :23:27. | :23:33. | |
I have just sat down to watch the end of the programme. And they said | :23:33. | :23:39. | |
about lost films and does anybody know... And I looked up and I | :23:39. | :23:45. | |
thought "that is me!" that is our wedding. This one minute video had | :23:45. | :23:51. | |
been in the possession of our cameraman for years. My dad had an | :23:51. | :23:55. | |
8mm camera and when he shot the film, he sent it off in the little | :23:56. | :23:59. | |
envelope like this. It would come back from processing and put it | :23:59. | :24:02. | |
through the projector. But this film was not ours and it had | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
nothing to do with the family. It was put in a box along with the | :24:05. | :24:10. | |
other home movies and not touched for about 50 years. It was a shock | :24:10. | :24:14. | |
really of seeing it. All we have got his black-and-white photographs | :24:14. | :24:22. | |
which were the thing, in 1959. Not many, films. It is 52 years since a | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
lane and Brian got married at this church. They have now got four | :24:26. | :24:29. | |
children, five grand children and half a century later, they have | :24:29. | :24:35. | |
come back to the place where it all began. -- Elaine and Brian. | :24:35. | :24:45. | |
:24:45. | :24:46. | ||
Is this the first time you have been back? I am afraid so, yes. | :24:46. | :24:50. | |
Total we different. A pleasant surprise. So with even more | :24:50. | :24:52. | |
memories of their big day, the happy couple are looking forward to | :24:52. | :25:02. | |
:25:02. | :25:05. | ||
That was so nice. How nice to tie up all the loose | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
end. It was exciting last night when we got the call through and | :25:09. | :25:13. | |
their son had contacted us. Wonderful, more of the same. If you | :25:13. | :25:17. | |
know the gentleman who saved a little Milly from the canal, please | :25:17. | :25:27. | |
:25:27. | :25:28. | ||
do let us know. Talk of the Cold We are expecting the return of cold | :25:28. | :25:32. | |
air by the weekend but don't worry, not as cold as last week. Looking | :25:32. | :25:36. | |
ahead to tomorrow night, clear spells and staying dry with a touch | :25:36. | :25:46. | |
:25:46. | :25:50. | ||
of frost possible. The first photo from Val. We have got higher | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
pressure sitting out in the Atlantic and it means we have got | :25:54. | :25:58. | |
milder air coming in from the West giving us a slightly milder | :25:58. | :26:01. | |
temperature for the next couple of days. But with this area of high | :26:01. | :26:06. | |
pressure we have got a lot of cloud associated with it. It is breaking | :26:06. | :26:09. | |
at times bumming have got some clear spells as we go through this | :26:09. | :26:17. | |
evening and overnight tonight. -- braking at times and we have got | :26:17. | :26:23. | |
some clear spells. Temperatures about three Celsius. It will also | :26:23. | :26:26. | |
be breezy with a north-westerly wind, some sunshine through the | :26:27. | :26:30. | |
morning but make the most of it because during the afternoon will | :26:30. | :26:35. | |
notice that cloud start to increase particularly towards the end of the | :26:35. | :26:39. | |
afternoon. Playing breezy with their high temperature of nine | :26:39. | :26:43. | |
Celsius, that is around two degrees above the average for February. You | :26:43. | :26:47. | |
might notice a bit of rain here across the north of the UK and we | :26:47. | :26:50. | |
are expecting a few spots on Thursday but it all changes on | :26:50. | :26:54. | |
Friday. This weather front sitting across the north of the UK. It | :26:54. | :26:58. | |
stays there for a while on Friday before eventually sinking south | :26:58. | :27:04. | |
through Saturday. As it moves south we are expecting rain to move in | :27:04. | :27:09. | |
and cloud as well but behind all that rain, we are expecting clearer | :27:09. | :27:13. | |
skies which means by the time we get to Sunday with the clear skies | :27:13. | :27:17. | |
we have got the introduction of colder air so high temperatures of | :27:17. | :27:24. | |
five Celsius on Sunday and we are expecting to return to frosty | :27:24. | :27:34. |
