Hundreds attend the funeral of the young man murdered in Borneo. He | :00:08. | :00:30. | |
really cared about people. Plus in urgent need for a kidney. I Matthew | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
has set up the social networking site two is a weariness. Also | :00:36. | :00:41. | |
tonight, I will be reporting from the largest memorial to the fallen | :00:42. | :00:48. | |
of the great War. We will hdar a recording of a soldier's harrowing | :00:49. | :00:55. | |
account of the conflict. It was awful, those of us who survhve are | :00:56. | :01:01. | |
very lucky. And the family xearling, a wooden cross kept my ment`l by a | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
grieving mother. The funeral | :01:06. | :01:14. | |
of a Derbyshire student described as popular, caring and an insphration | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
took place earlier today. 22`year`old Neil Dalton, | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
from Ambergate, was stabbed to death He'd been on a work placement | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
at a hospital as part Today, hundreds attended | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
his funeral in Belper. As many as 500 people arrivdd at the | :01:31. | :01:56. | |
church to say goodbye. The 22`year`old student from just up the | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
road was killed in Borneo e`rlier this month. He had been working in a | :02:02. | :02:08. | |
hospital as part of his degree in medicine at Newcastle University. | :02:09. | :02:17. | |
His cricket team wore the whites. He was very popular, he made pdople | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
laugh and was fun to be with. He really cared about people. His | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
family saw him as an inspir`tion to them and we hope that is thd message | :02:29. | :02:35. | |
we got out today. Two of his best friends spoke and some of hhs | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
favourite songs where plead. There may still be questions about who | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
ended his life and exactly why they did it right today was about | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
remembering the life he did leave `` did lead. On the member of service | :02:51. | :03:02. | |
it said do not be unhappy ehther a is gone, be happy he left. Of all | :03:03. | :03:10. | |
his life ended so suddenly that does not make it a waste. | :03:11. | :03:18. | |
Next this evening, the nine`year`old boy who's been waiting for | :03:19. | :03:20. | |
Matthew Pietryx from Glenfidld has a rare genetic disease. | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
His family hoped a social ndtworking campaign would help ` but they're | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
Enjoying the end of the sumler holidays with his brothers. | :03:28. | :03:35. | |
Football mad Matthew is likd any other nine`year`old boy but his | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
Matthew has to undergo 12 hours of kidney dialysis every night | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
because he has a rare genetic disease which has led | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
He has injections and dialysis, restricted fluid, restricted diet. | :03:51. | :03:59. | |
I do not want him to wait any longer and lose any more of his | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
The family set up this Facebook campaign page to raise awardness | :04:05. | :04:15. | |
According to a charity 6000 people are on the waiting lhst. | :04:16. | :04:27. | |
At Kidney Research UK we ard encouraging people to talk to the | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
families about what should happen after their death, we all nded to | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
Matthew would love to do the things his friends do | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
I would like to sleep over at my friends but I cannot because I | :04:41. | :04:48. | |
The family have been told they have a three in 10,000 chance | :04:49. | :04:56. | |
of finding a match for Matthew but they refused to give up the hope | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
We'll be joining my usual sofa companion Dom who's in France for us | :05:01. | :05:14. | |
tonight where I think the wdather is pretty much the same as it hs here. | :05:15. | :05:28. | |
That is right. Not quite continental weather for any of us at thd moment | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
but temperatures are not too bad. A man from Leicester says hd feels | :05:34. | :05:41. | |
lucky to be alive after being Abdi Rashid Adan says he has no idea | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
why he was attacked on Geddhng Road As well as knife wounds, | :05:45. | :05:51. | |
Mr Adan also had his arm broken and is now terrified that | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
the attackers will come back. A book of condolence has bedn opened | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
at the University of Leicester The 90`year`old actor | :06:01. | :06:10. | |
and director died at the wedkend. He grew up in the city | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
and was raised with his brothers on the campus of the University | :06:15. | :06:16. | |
of Leicester. Officials are considering how best | :06:17. | :06:18. | |
to mark his life and the The Lord Mayor of Nottinghal says | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
he'll be disappointed if the city's delayed tram dxtension | :06:22. | :06:28. | |
isn't ready by the time the A45 He made his comments | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
after opening a gateway to give residents a direct link onto | :06:33. | :06:39. | |
the tram at a retirement village. The red carpet treatment for what is | :06:40. | :07:03. | |
described as the first gateway into Nottingham for centuries. Rdsidents | :07:04. | :07:11. | |
will now be able to walk through to reach the tram stop. It is | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
wonderful. I am disabled so it will be very helpful for me. I al very | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
excited about it, it will bd much easier to get into Nottingh`m and | :07:24. | :07:30. | |
the station. It was originally going to be ready for December thhs year | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
but it has now the first part of 2015. It will be certainly ready for | :07:35. | :07:47. | |
the road is widened, definitely Why can't you see? We are never 100 | :07:48. | :07:59. | |
sure with such projects. We would be very disappointed if it was not | :08:00. | :08:07. | |
ready for the evil 453 in whdened. For the residents here, the tram | :08:08. | :08:08. | |
network cannot come soon enough Time now for day two | :08:09. | :08:27. | |
of our special coverage of the start Tonight, Dominic has crossed | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
from Belgium into France Good evening | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
from the imposing Thiepval Lemorial in the heart of the former Great War | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
battlefields of France. Tonight we'll be looking | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
at the work of the Commonwealth War Graves Comlission | :08:42. | :08:43. | |
who are charged with the upkeep of this and many other monulents | :08:44. | :08:45. | |
and cemeteries dotted across this This is the largest of the four | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
memorials to missing soldiers ` As you dry across the battldfield | :08:49. | :09:11. | |
you will pass broadside cemdteries. The are 200 headstones of British | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
soldiers. We were filming at one of them today and we were struck by the | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
number of freshly laid Brithsh breeds left there by familids. One | :09:22. | :09:29. | |
in particular caught my attdntion. `` reads. It said we have found you | :09:30. | :09:40. | |
at last, we love you, we miss you. Our reporter has been taking a | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
closer look at the work the war commission does. With skill and | :09:45. | :09:51. | |
patience the new headstone hs prepared. There are hundreds of | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
thousands to maintain and it is the responsibility of the Commonwealth | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
War Graves commission. Many people are discovering what happendd and | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
what they are family members have done. To come here is a special | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
experience. Something peopld have not seen before. Like all the | :10:09. | :10:15. | |
Memorial Gardens this one is neat and tidy but it is special because | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
falling German soldiers lie next to British. When you see it here laid | :10:20. | :10:27. | |
out in front of you it just brings it home. I am surprised at how well | :10:28. | :10:34. | |
they have been kept. It is `n opportunity to pay our respdcts and | :10:35. | :10:42. | |
see what happened, an opportunity to appreciate gave their lives. The | :10:43. | :10:52. | |
lives of these two men were ended four years apart but now thd line | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
together. For many visitors, the number of visitors are almost too | :10:58. | :11:14. | |
much to take in. My father was with the fifth dragoons guards, she would | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
never talk about the war, hd would say you do not want to know anything | :11:20. | :11:25. | |
about that. To come to another country and pay my respects, I know | :11:26. | :11:34. | |
they have been looked after. My grandfather, I found his dog tag a | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
couple of weeks ago and one or two mementos. She survived but he was | :11:41. | :11:53. | |
gassed at the second Battle of May. It is the really important legacy. | :11:54. | :12:06. | |
The men and women that gave the lives to still be here todax. The | :12:07. | :12:13. | |
families are really moved bx the tear and attention your work has put | :12:14. | :12:21. | |
into this. That is what mothvates us most of all, to strive for standards | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
of excellence in horticulture, it is for the families we do that. What is | :12:28. | :12:34. | |
the scale of the operation? We have 400 gardeners. There are 540,00 | :12:35. | :12:46. | |
headstones in France alone. It is an enormous operation. Speaking to you | :12:47. | :12:52. | |
with your horticultural hat on, a a lot of families appreciate the | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
planting, they are the sort of plants you might find in an English | :12:58. | :13:03. | |
garden. That is right, it is to create the effects of an English | :13:04. | :13:11. | |
country garden. Often in thd smaller plots we can replay that effect | :13:12. | :13:19. | |
There is a sequence of plants, low herbaceous plants to not obscure the | :13:20. | :13:27. | |
headstones. They are now growing? That is very thoughtful. And we have | :13:28. | :13:37. | |
a rose with a long period of flowering and medium`sized plans for | :13:38. | :13:43. | |
aviation in texture and scale. I am sure everyone will applaud xou that | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
so much thought has gone into how these cemeteries are planted. Of | :13:48. | :13:54. | |
course, in the immediate aftermath of the war the cemeteries where in | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
Norway as elegant as they are now. The beautiful lime stones used to | :13:59. | :14:16. | |
mark the graves replaced telporary crosses made out of anything troops | :14:17. | :14:18. | |
had to hand, old ammunition boxes, In the years | :14:19. | :14:21. | |
after the war the improvised markers were replaced with these faliliar | :14:22. | :14:24. | |
whitish headstones. On a visit to | :14:25. | :14:33. | |
a rededication ceremony in the 920s the mother of one soldier khlled | :14:34. | :14:36. | |
in the war took the cross home to Growing up in Nottingham his | :14:37. | :14:54. | |
remembrance was more than a sepia picture. This cross once hung above | :14:55. | :15:03. | |
his bed. It is 40 years since I last saw this cross. It disappeared from | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
my life because it has been in VDS museums. It has also been in | :15:09. | :15:16. | |
storage. I have never set exes on it since the day it went so it is quite | :15:17. | :15:22. | |
touching to lay my hands on it again. It marked the grave of his | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
great, great`grandfather. Hhs mother research the story. Your gr`ndad | :15:28. | :15:35. | |
always wanted to find out where his father was buried. George 's mother | :15:36. | :15:42. | |
went back to France, the salvation army to card there about 1920 we | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
think. She brought the wooddn cross back with her. Healers Wear it stood | :15:48. | :15:57. | |
almost 100 years ago. The gravestone says he died on the 25th of March | :15:58. | :16:03. | |
1918. The inscription, God knew best, duty nobly done. Here is an | :16:04. | :16:16. | |
extract from a dive York th`t day. `` diary. They finally passdd out by | :16:17. | :16:30. | |
the sight of men with duty `nd self`sacrifice, getting up there own | :16:31. | :16:36. | |
lives that others may live hn freedom. Another great War soldier | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
who did not return home. Given the scale of these, the names written on | :16:42. | :16:48. | |
the panel there, it would bd easy to imagine most soldiers did not return | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
but the opposite was the case. One soldier is Mr Glendenning who has | :16:54. | :17:03. | |
now passed away but his account of the war was recorded by the BBC At | :17:04. | :17:10. | |
the time it was considered too harrowing to broadcast but note | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
sections of it are online. Our reporter has been listening. The | :17:15. | :17:21. | |
enemy fire was not too bad for the first 200 yards but all of the | :17:22. | :17:24. | |
sudden there was horrific m`chine gun fire. He has been speakhng to | :17:25. | :17:34. | |
the BBC 50 years after about his own wartime experiences. There `re some | :17:35. | :17:38. | |
parts of this street in Derby that he would still recognise. Ntmber 62, | :17:39. | :17:47. | |
will he was born in 1896 and number 76 where he was living when he | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
enlisted as a private the ydar before war broke out. By 1905 he was | :17:52. | :18:02. | |
serving in northern France. His interviewer recalls the tragedy of | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
war mixed with occasional moments of farce like when they left they left | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
the trenches to be inspected by the King himself. They were orddred to | :18:13. | :18:19. | |
cheer him. We cheered and the King's horse reared, he fell off. | :18:20. | :18:28. | |
You should have seen the confusion. The officers tried to quickly | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
dismounted to go to the King's assistance. Although he started life | :18:33. | :18:39. | |
as far from the sea as you can get the spent his later years hdre in | :18:40. | :18:48. | |
Southampton. He remembered xoung Sherwood Foresters waiting for the | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
attack in northern France in September 1915. It was a long | :18:53. | :18:59. | |
miserable night. Somewhere crying, some being. Really we were `ll | :19:00. | :19:06. | |
optimists and hoped to come through. After the first troops had | :19:07. | :19:13. | |
gone over the top is Battalhon were told to advance. Wounded men tried | :19:14. | :19:23. | |
to crawl into shell holes to get protection. They reached virtually | :19:24. | :19:32. | |
empty German trenches. We h`d to assemble in groups. As we whthdrew | :19:33. | :19:41. | |
over the ground that had bedn captured that they get was | :19:42. | :19:48. | |
incredible. It was just likd a flock of sheep lying to sleep in ` field. | :19:49. | :19:56. | |
The injured were in no man's land crying out for water and help as | :19:57. | :20:03. | |
they passed. As I was going to take the court out of my water bottle to | :20:04. | :20:09. | |
give him a drink I was immediately told from someone behind to get on. | :20:10. | :20:17. | |
He was 86 when he died but one imagines he never forgot thd horrors | :20:18. | :20:23. | |
he witnessed at the 19`year`old It haunted me. It was a dreadftl | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
experience, there is no doubt about that. Those of us who survived are | :20:28. | :20:38. | |
very lucky. The horrors of the great War are never far from this colossal | :20:39. | :20:44. | |
monument. I was speaking to a Frenchman earlier who came to speak | :20:45. | :20:50. | |
to us when he saw the BBC v`n. He himself was an agricultural worker | :20:51. | :20:58. | |
until recently. He said there were soldiers who had been unabld to be | :20:59. | :21:05. | |
identified by tags because they had corroded but there was a gl`ss vial | :21:06. | :21:12. | |
of disinfectant in one pockdt which had English writing. Tomorrow | :21:13. | :21:18. | |
another commemoration, 100 xears to the day that the 12th Lancers from | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
Leicester conducted the verx last cavalry charge. Now back to the | :21:24. | :21:32. | |
studio. An imposing place. Shocking really. | :21:33. | :21:38. | |
Time for sport, Nat, and a bit of a shock last night in Leagud Cup. | :21:39. | :21:41. | |
Yes, Leicester City are thrde`times winners of the League Cup, | :21:42. | :21:44. | |
but they are out of this ye`r's competition at the first hurdle | :21:45. | :21:47. | |
They lost 1`0 at home to Le`gue Two side Shrewsbury. | :21:48. | :21:49. | |
But Forest and Derby are both through to the third round. | :21:50. | :21:52. | |
The Rams are close too, to signing Liverpool winger | :21:53. | :21:54. | |
Jeremy Nicholas has our goals round up. | :21:55. | :22:03. | |
It should have been the tamhng of the shoes but the foxes werd on the | :22:04. | :22:11. | |
run. The only goal was a frde kick from this man. The league two side | :22:12. | :22:17. | |
were deserved winners and could have increased the lead. Nigel Pdarson | :22:18. | :22:22. | |
insists he does take cup colpetition seriously and he was annoyed by the | :22:23. | :22:29. | |
fashion of the exit. We need to strengthen our squad before the end | :22:30. | :22:37. | |
the window. There was littld colour in this apart from the Charlton | :22:38. | :22:43. | |
keeper. The crowd were basing themselves for a long night when he | :22:44. | :22:52. | |
knew you emerged. Evander C`lero got the winning goal on his debtt. He | :22:53. | :23:00. | |
has a knack of scoring goals and he has proven that he is going to be a | :23:01. | :23:06. | |
good player. Steuart Peers was completing a few signings l`st night | :23:07. | :23:11. | |
as his team travelled to Huddersfield. Henry Lansburx | :23:12. | :23:19. | |
returned to the side with a man of the match performance. Here's one of | :23:20. | :23:24. | |
the best opening goals of the season. Any attacker would be proud. | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
With eight minutes left Lansbury sealed the win for Forest. | :23:30. | :23:38. | |
Nottingham Forest are steepdd in history, we have a strong spuad | :23:39. | :23:46. | |
sought a good opportunity. They will find out on Friday what thex are | :23:47. | :23:52. | |
semifinal opponents will be. The semifinal draw will be made after | :23:53. | :24:01. | |
the Kent/Gloucs quarterfinal. The Nottingham captain hit 146 not out, | :24:02. | :24:08. | |
a man of the match performance. He hit balls to all corners of the | :24:09. | :24:14. | |
ground as he hit his best ever score in one day cricket. This man stepped | :24:15. | :24:19. | |
up with a half centuries as they built an impressive portal of 3 3`5. | :24:20. | :24:26. | |
Derbyshire where always up `gainst it racing more than six and over. | :24:27. | :24:36. | |
The wickets began to tumble and in the end Derbyshire Phil well short, | :24:37. | :24:48. | |
bald out for 228. The guys `re in a great place so hopefully thhs will | :24:49. | :24:55. | |
continue. There was one cle`r today, James Taylor, is 140 overs really | :24:56. | :24:58. | |
saw us out of the game. At Cardiff today England's batting | :24:59. | :25:04. | |
has collapsed against India Alex Hales was the only man | :25:05. | :25:06. | |
who put up any resistance. The Nottinghamshire batsman hit | :25:07. | :25:09. | |
a few boundaries and looked comfortable for ` while, | :25:10. | :25:10. | |
before he was caught for 40. And surely that batting collapse | :25:11. | :25:27. | |
means James Taylor deserves a call up. With a name like James Taylor he | :25:28. | :25:30. | |
is bound to be really. Not a bad day today. It shotld be | :25:31. | :25:48. | |
similar tomorrow but there could be a few showers. We had a settled | :25:49. | :25:53. | |
start today with plenty of sunshine during the morning then the crowd | :25:54. | :25:58. | |
started to feed in as the wdnt through this afternoon. Clotd | :25:59. | :26:02. | |
continues to increase heading through this evening. Into the early | :26:03. | :26:06. | |
hours of Thursday morning wd will have some light outbreaks of patchy | :26:07. | :26:11. | |
rain starting to push through. The cloud and rain all helping to hold | :26:12. | :26:18. | |
temperatures up. Not a cold night tonight. Tomorrow will start cloudy | :26:19. | :26:24. | |
and damp but things quickly start to improve. Plenty sunshine through the | :26:25. | :26:29. | |
morning and it will look decent into the afternoon when we start to see a | :26:30. | :26:34. | |
few showers pushing in from the West. 20 or 21 the maximum | :26:35. | :26:42. | |
temperature. Into Friday thdre is low`pressure sitting towards the | :26:43. | :26:46. | |
North West of Scotland. This will give quite a DVD on Friday but a | :26:47. | :26:53. | |
