:00:14. > :00:17.A march has taken place in @shby in Scunthorpe as part of a campaign to

:00:18. > :00:20.get the Government to pay for the funerals of ex`service personnel who

:00:21. > :00:23.die with no relatives. Currdntly, they have what is known as `

:00:24. > :00:26.council, or paupers', burial. But one funeral director from North

:00:27. > :00:34.Lincolnshire is asking the Government to change that. Jessica

:00:35. > :00:38.Lane has more. This march, the next step in Sue

:00:39. > :00:42.Macleans' campaign. You can't re`do a funeral. It is like a birth and a

:00:43. > :00:46.wedding, you can only do it once. A funeral for a service man or woman

:00:47. > :00:50.has to be dignified, has bedn recognised. We cannot send them out

:00:51. > :00:53.to war and expect them to come back and then forget them. The c`mpaign

:00:54. > :00:57.started last November, when Sue rescued a man called Michael Clarke

:00:58. > :01:00.from a council burial after a friend of his raised concern about the

:01:01. > :01:05.funeral. It is the emotional matter for many taking part. It is a

:01:06. > :01:13.brotherhood. As All the different forces ` Army, Navy, and Air Force.

:01:14. > :01:17.We all appreciate what we h`ve all done. They have served their country

:01:18. > :01:21.and they should be treated better than that. They shouldn't h`ve a

:01:22. > :01:25.pauper's grave. They should have a proper service like everyond else

:01:26. > :01:29.who can afford it. We have to make sure that as far as possibld medical

:01:30. > :01:33.records flag that it is a vdteran. If that is done all the agencies can

:01:34. > :01:37.kick in and make sure that that person is given a dignified

:01:38. > :01:40.send`off. The government saxs there should be consideration when someone

:01:41. > :01:44.who has served their countrx dies, but this it is up to the local

:01:45. > :01:49.councils to provide a funer`l if they cannot afford to pay or if

:01:50. > :01:52.there are no family left. As a result of the campaign, the North

:01:53. > :01:56.Lincolnshire council has put aside ?10,000 to help pay for the

:01:57. > :02:05.funerals. Sue says that that is very generous, but as each funer`l can

:02:06. > :02:08.cost ?2500 it will not pay for many. Sue says that she wants things to

:02:09. > :02:12.change, so she will take her campaign to Downing Street this

:02:13. > :02:20.summer to hand over a letter to the Prime Minister. Jessica Land, BBC

:02:24. > :02:26.Yorkshire have been released from an Indian Jail where they've bden held

:02:27. > :02:29.since October. Ray Tindall, from Hull, and Nicholas Simpson, who grew

:02:30. > :02:32.up in Cottingham, left prison on bail this morning. Indian

:02:33. > :02:35.authorities said the boat they were travelling in had arms on board that

:02:36. > :02:39.didn't have the correct papdrwork. They will have to stay in India

:03:20. > :03:23.prosecutions have been brought. I think it is important, not just for

:03:24. > :03:26.me but for everybody else in Hull. How many more people have btried

:03:27. > :03:30.people and it is been the wrong person? If they see it as an

:03:31. > :03:34.accident, and they can't sax exactly how it has been done, how m`ny times
