With your news now for the East Midlands, I'm Maurice Flynn. A new | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
memorial to possibly the world's most famous nurse was the focus of a | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
special event in Derby today. Florence Nightingale, who lived much | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
of her life in Derbyshire, will now forever be remembered on a stone | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
plaque in the city's cathedral, as Tom Brown reports. | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
She is widely regarded as the founder of modern nursing, and this | :00:34. | :00:40. | |
morning today's nurses gathered in Derby Cathedral to remember her | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
local routes. Florence Nightingale grew up here and help redevelop the | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
Derbyshire Royal Infirmary. Today's special service was dedicated to | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
this new permanent reminder of her legacy. This is an annual event, | :00:53. | :01:00. | |
celebrating the past, present and future of the county's care | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
profession. It's really important we look back and celebrate the decades | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
of nursing and bring our colleagues together. This was my grandma's | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
badge from the war, and then there was me, and maybe poppy as well. | :01:13. | :01:19. | |
We've had bad press in the last couple of years, and to, and | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
demonstrate that nurses are here to care and we are proud of the | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
profession on what we do is really important. It is hoped that the | :01:27. | :01:28. | |
plaque means it is never forgotten. Soldiers marched through Kimberley | :01:29. | :01:35. | |
today to mark the end of their duties in Afghanistan. Crowds lined | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
the town's main street as around 150 soldiers paraded from the | :01:39. | :01:40. | |
One`Seventy Engineer Group Royal Engineers. They were joined by | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
veterans from the Royal Engineers Association and led by the | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
Nottinghamshire Band of the Royal Engineers. As walking seems to be a | :01:47. | :01:54. | |
theme today, fitting then that a new walking trail linking parts of | :01:55. | :01:56. | |
Derbyshire and Leicestershire officially opens this weekend. The | :01:57. | :02:03. | |
National Forest Way stretches for 75 miles, but there's no challenge to | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
complete at once. Steve Orme's been checking it out. Ancient woodland, | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
meadows and water, just some of the site you can see as you make your | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
way through one end of the National Forest to the other. The shortest | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
stage of the new trail is about four miles and the longest is 7.5 miles. | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
Car parking is available at most of the stages, which are largely | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
accessible by public transport. Now we have hundreds of woodlands and 75 | :02:30. | :02:36. | |
miles of a new trial. `` new trail. It's going to link up the very | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
varied landscapes of the National Forest and we've designed it so | :02:41. | :02:42. | |
anybody, even if they haven't done much walking, they can start and | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
maybe do four miles one day and then build it up. In the course of that | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
they will see a slice across a very beautiful part of the Midlands that | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
maybe they had no idea about before. It's taken five years to finalise | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
the plans as well as getting the public rights of way. No two stages | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
are said to be the same, and the National Forest companies have | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
already had enquiries from serious athletes and businesses which want | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
to complete the 75 miles in a single day. | :03:14. | :03:15. | |
To sport, and Nottingham gymnast Becky Downie has helped Great | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
Britain win silver at the European Championships. Downie scored an | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
impressive 14.133 on the beam and also top`scored for Britain on the | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
bars and vault. Her scores saw Team GB scoop second behind Romania, | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
ahead of Russia. Tickets for Derby County's play`off final at Wembley | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
sold`out in under an hour this morning. Leicester Tigers fans | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
though may not feel such a rush for Premiership final tickets. For the | :03:39. | :03:46. | |
first time in ten years, Tigers won't be there, after losing last | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
night to rivals Northampton. I don't think it's been a poor season or a | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
disappointing one, and sometimes you have to take it on the chin, | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
sometimes you don't get in the final and you don't win a trophy and you | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
have to move on and go back to the training ground and start again. | :04:05. | :04:06. | |
Glorious day today, hotter than yesterday! Let's see what's in store | :04:07. | :04:08. | |
tonight and tomorrow now, with Kaye. What a start of the weekend, a | :04:09. | :04:17. | |
gorgeous start, temperatures in the 20s. Fear not if you missed out | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
today, we have more of the same tomorrow lots of lovely sunshine and | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
the temperatures will soar into the 20s, probably 23 Celsius. A little | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
bit of high cloud over the last hour or so and it will stay dry | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
overnight. That will leave this a bit more cloud the clearest bells | :04:36. | :04:42. | |
and Mondays sees lows of 12 Celsius. Tomorrow morning, beautiful start of | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
the day with many of us having clear skies through the morning. Later in | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
the afternoon a little more cloud creeping in that it will be a fine | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
day and temperatures could be as high as 22 or 23. | :04:55. | :04:56. | |
The Beat's on`air already on your local BBC Radio, and the Musical | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
Jungle is just rounding up so join them quick! Here though, there's | :05:03. | :05:03. | |
more from me at 6:50pm tomorrow. Good evening. Who needs an expensive | :05:04. | :05:14. | |
holiday? Today at 24 degrees, Suffolk was warmer than Ibiza and | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
Crete. There was lots of warm sunshine to be found across England | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
and Wales. Of course, that hasn't been the story everywhere. Cooler | :05:25. | :05:25. |
