There was a storm on twitter saying I had been arrested, of course I

haven't been. I haven't heard from the police. The person with the

megaphone told us he was a Labour councillor. If he was, the Labour

get up 12 times a night just to make sure he'd remembered to lock his

doors. Our Health Correspondent Rob Sissons reports.

:01:13.:01:21.

He was up and down stairs all night. Samuel kept asking himself the same

a nightly text. Have you locked the door? I was sceptical at first

:03:04.:03:10.

Well, a little earlier I asked Rob if this idea of texting vulnerable

:03:11.:03:14.

people like Samuel would prove to be a success.

:03:15.:03:17.

I don't think it is going to be for everyone. Not everyone has a

remembrance service, as Robin Gibson reports.

:04:08.:04:19.

take the tags off. I think that was the worst time of my time.

:04:54.:04:56.

All these veterans have memories of the carnage. They can colour these

gravestones with the faces, the characters, the friendship of the
