more throughout the evening on the BBC News channel. We are back with | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
the late news that just Welcome to Look North. | :00:00. | :00:13. | |
A march has taken place in @shby in Scunthorpe as part of a campaign to | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
get the Government to pay for the funerals of ex`service personnel who | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
die with no relatives. Currdntly, they have what is known as ` | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
council, or paupers', burial. But one funeral director from North | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
Lincolnshire is asking the Government to change that. Jessica | :00:27. | :00:34. | |
Lane has more. This march, the next step in Sue | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
Macleans' campaign. You can't re`do a funeral. It is like a birth and a | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
wedding, you can only do it once. A funeral for a service man or woman | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
has to be dignified, has bedn recognised. We cannot send them out | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
to war and expect them to come back and then forget them. The c`mpaign | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
started last November, when Sue rescued a man called Michael Clarke | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
from a council burial after a friend of his raised concern about the | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
funeral. It is the emotional matter for many taking part. It is a | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
brotherhood. As All the different forces ` Army, Navy, and Air Force. | :01:06. | :01:13. | |
We all appreciate what we h`ve all done. They have served their country | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
and they should be treated better than that. They shouldn't h`ve a | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
pauper's grave. They should have a proper service like everyond else | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
who can afford it. We have to make sure that as far as possibld medical | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
records flag that it is a vdteran. If that is done all the agencies can | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
kick in and make sure that that person is given a dignified | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
send`off. The government saxs there should be consideration when someone | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
who has served their countrx dies, but this it is up to the local | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
councils to provide a funer`l if they cannot afford to pay or if | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
there are no family left. As a result of the campaign, the North | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
Lincolnshire council has put aside ?10,000 to help pay for the | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
funerals. Sue says that that is very generous, but as each funer`l can | :01:57. | :02:05. | |
cost ?2500 it will not pay for many. Sue says that she wants things to | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
change, so she will take her campaign to Downing Street this | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
summer to hand over a letter to the Prime Minister. Jessica Land, BBC | :02:13. | :02:20. | |
Look North, Ashby. Two former soldiers from East | :02:21. | :02:23. | |

since October. Ray Tindall, from Hull, and Nicholas Simpson, who grew | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
up in Cottingham, left prison on bail this morning. Indian | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
authorities said the boat they were travelling in had arms on board that | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
didn't have the correct papdrwork. They will have to stay in India | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
until their case is resolved. The death of a man in Market Rasen | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
is being investigated by police Officers were called to a flat in | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
the town last night and found the 35`year`old. Two men, aged 43 and | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
23, have been arrested. The sister of a man who died in | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
police custody and then was at the centre of a body mix`up, has led a | :02:57. | :02:59. | |

Police Station in April 1998. In 2011, it emerged there had been a | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
mix`up. Mr Alder's body had been kept in a mortuary for 11 ydars and | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
his family had buried a wom`n called Grace Kamara instead. No | :03:13. | :03:19. | |
prosecutions have been brought. I think it is important, not just for | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
me but for everybody else in Hull. How many more people have btried | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
people and it is been the wrong person? If they see it as an | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
accident, and they can't sax exactly how it has been done, how m`ny times | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
has it happened? I think it is a concern not just for me, but for | :03:35. | :03:36. | |
everybody else. In football, Hull City are nine | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
