07/09/2014 East Midlands Today

That is all of the sport. Thank you. That's it from

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

It's been confirmed the country's most senior clergy

of both the Catholic Church and the Church of England whll be

taking part in the re`internment of King Richard III in Leicdster.

The king died a Catholic almost 60 years before

Until today it wasn't clear how Catholicism would be reflected

in next year's event. Carol Hinds reports.

A procession could form part of the services and ceremonies which will

be held for the internment of King and the third `` Cymru and the

third. The most senior membdrs of the Catholic Church and the Church

of England will take part `` Richard III. The King's remains will be

received, that is an inch and service which is part of both

traditions `` inching service. It eventually became the Anglican

parish church. We are absolttely delighted the Cardinal is coming

here to preach in the cathedral The Anglican Church was established in

1534. Next year will be 530 years since his death in 1485. We

celebrate Mass for departed brothers and sisters, so we will prax for

Richard III's soul. The authorities say next year's ceremonies will be

special services. But should not be thought of as a state funer`l. It is

neither a state nor a funer`l, the cause the funeral took placd, that

cannot be ripped Peter had `` repeated. It is an internment. Work

is underway both inside and outside Leicester Cathedral as they prepare

for a week of special services. Police are investigating

a firearms incident in Derbx. They say a group of people

forced their way into Two people inside

suffered minor injuries ` Four people, aged between 26 and 32,

have been arrested. The father of a young woman who

died suddenly from an undiagnosed heart problem is raising funds to

research the condition. Retired teacher John Holmes,

from Derbyshire, will be directly following

in his daughter's footsteps by trekking through

part of the Himalayas. Many people put their feet tp on

retiring, but John Holmes from Derby has set himself a high`altitude

challenge. The challenge is to take a trek all the way around a stretch

just short of 200 miles in the Himalayas. My daughter, whol we lost

five years ago, the year before she died, it was part of her trhp around

the world, one of the things she wanted to do for many years. When

she came back in the summer, she had been travelling for quite a long

time after it, and she said it was one of the most enjoyable things she

did. And you could do that! John is also raising money for charhties in

his daughter's name. We revhved her enough in order for her to donate

organs. She would have also wanted that. There was not enough time to

save her life, unfortunatelx. I have got a real picture in my mind

already of what it is like `ll the way up. When I get up to thd pass,

which I will do, it will be rather special. He will be setting off next

month. Hundreds of others were on foot

today, and throwing off thehr shoes for the barefoot walk in Nottingham.

It was to highlight poverty in places of the world that cannot

afford shoes. You could walk three or five kilometres around the park,

with spears shoes being don`ted to charity. `` spare shoes.

The fire brigade had to givd some help to those using a giant slide

The 100ft inflatable was set up on Kipling Drive,

But with washing`up liquid and a little extra water prdssure,

It was a lot faster than I thought it was going to be, and wet. Very

wet. You do not slow down when you hit the full form at the bottom As

you can see, I am absolutelx drenched. It is good, it is great,

lots of people around, it is good. There is nothing better in the world

than a water slide. Determined to have a go, I was!

Here is the weather forecast. It has been a superb day today, and

very little in the way of change. There will be loads of that lovely

sunshine returning through tomorrow. Little changing for the rest of the

day and through tonight. St`ying dry throughout the night, clear skies as

well. The temperatures are going to take a tumble tonight, down to

around four, 5 degrees in rtral spots. Fog clears out of thd way

through the morning, and it looks as though we're in for a superb day.

Little bit of Fairweather cloud but a beautiful afternoon, sunshine and

blue skies, feeling pleasant with highs of 18, 19 Celsius. Quote will

be returning next week on Ttesday. `` cloud.

More from me at 10:30pm. Good night. Good evening. Most of us had a

lovely end to the weekend but the exception was the north-east of

Scotland. It was cold, wet and windy but the low responsible is now

moving away and we have high pressure moving its way in from the

West. The pressure is rising all the while over the next few days which

will settle things down nicely and it will be dry pretty much all week.

But the forecasting headache will be the amount of cloud. The next few

hours will still be pretty wet and windy in the north-east of Scotland

but through the small hours the ring becomes quite liked and patchy.

Elsewhere it is a dry night, a few patches of low cloud here and there

but for many it is a night of clear spells, and major towns and cities

will be a degree either side of double figures but in rural areas

temperatures could reach as low as one degree. Northern Scotland will

be cloudy and breezy, not much Rangers peak of but they will be

some. The central lowlands will
