With your news now for the East Midlands, I'm Maurice Flynn. A

church congregation has solved a century`old mystery about the fate

of a Nottingham man. His name was discovered by chance by his niece on

a war memorial, but no`one knew why it was there. James Roberson has

more. Recently, Christine from Arnold in Nottingham was visiting St

John's Church in Carrington for the first time in decades. During her

visit she looked at the great War Memorial inside and stumbled by

chance on her uncle's name. The family said she died in Rhodesia, as

it was then, and I thought, why was he in Rhodesia? Her father served in

the great War so Christine asked the church for help. Investigations by

the congregation at the church revealed William had left the family

home in Carrington and had served but in Northern Rhodesia, now

Zambia, in Africa. He was in the Northern Rhodesian police and

unfortunately, the pandemic of the flu in 1918 killed him on Christmas

Eve. But he was mentioned twice in dispatches. So on behalf of St

John's, I would like to present to you... The Commonwealth War Graves

commission presented her with this. I am very happy to know how his life

went and I'm sorry he died so early. Thanks to St John's and all of them

finding out for me. It's a mystery solved.

Derby County took on Nottingham Forest again today ` although this

time it was for charity. Former players from both clubs were taking

part in the Sport Relief Rivals match. Tom Brown was there. The

second time this weekend, local breaking rights up for grabs. Family

rivalries were put to the test. Can they get revenge today? Yes. No.

Today Long Eaton hosted the match. Unlike yesterday, the Nottingham

Forest fans had something to smile about. After going one up in the

first half, they got a free kick. They reminded the fans that class is

permanent. Another strike sealed the win. But today the real goal was

raising money for charity. We have played against each other loads of

times, and many other lads I have played with lots of times. It was

great, it's been a grey day. The buckets are full to bursting for

money. The crowd turnout, fantastic. If Leicester City are promoted next

season, their head of recruitment says they already have key playing

targets. Steve Walsh was speaking to BBC Late Kick Off, as they were

given access`all`areas at the club's training ground. And if Leicester do

return to the Premier League for the first time in a decade, do they need

new players? I think it's just key areas where we feel either cover all

an improvement. But we're going to run with what we have got, and from

them, we will try and build in key areas, suppose that.

In today's rugby, a six try triumph for Leicester Tigers against Exeter.

Manu Tuilangi scored on his first home appearance since his comeback

from injury ` seeing Tigers win 45`15. In the championship,

Nottingham lost 17`11 at Cornish Pirates. Now a weekend of sunshine

and showers can be annoying, or inspiring ` it would seem! Thanks

for all your rainbow pictures this weekend. You'll find them on our

Facebook page, including this one showing the end of the rainbow which

Margaret shot at Carsington Water. No gold, but let's see now from

Kaye, what the weather chucking our way next!

We have a ridge of high pressure pushing in, helping to kill off the

showers and break up the cloud. Clear skies tonight, with the winds

easing down, we have a widespread frost on the cards. Look at these

temperatures! Definitely a cold start the new working week but lots

of lovely sunshine around through the morning. Some higher cloud

rolling in, but drier, writer afternoon and it should feel a

little warmer as well, with a slightly lighter wind

that it from us. Tomorrow good night.

Today's showers have almost gone from eastern areas, it will be a

classic radiation night, clear skies, light winds, temperatures

tumbling. The night could still get down to -6 in rural Scotland and

northern England, the coldest it has been for quite a few months. It will

not be as cold elsewhere. Cloud arrives ahead of the weather front,

which brings rain from the Atlantic to western parts of the UK. Further

east, it will be dry. Quite a bit of sunshine, so a good-looking day

across Scotland. Western areas tending to cloud over later. It will

cloud over quickly in Northern Ireland. For northern England,

through the Midlands, eastern England, it will be a bright and

sunny day. Hazy for the afternoon, but double figures after the frosty

start. But whether for Wales and the south-west of
