service that blew up mines during the D-Day landings. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:40 | |
We were running very small boats, wooden. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:44 | |
It was because of the mines. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:54 | |
So if we cut one loose it didn't affect the ship. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:01 | |
It didn't affect us. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:03 | |

Some people have even offered money to anyone | 0:01:26 | 0:01:28 | |
with information about the ledals. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:32 | |
One guy started off with ?100, and then we have had other people | 0:01:32 | 0:01:35 | |
say they would give ?20 and ?50 and ?20 and it seems to be going up | 0:01:35 | 0:01:39 | |
and up, which is so kind of people to do that. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:43 | |
Remembrance Sunday isn't far away. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |

Jennifer Meierhans reports. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:44 | |
Two years ago the skies above Stafford were lit up | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
with fireworks, as the contdnts of this warehouse exploded. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:51 | |
The fire burned for hours and claimed the lives of two men, | 0:02:51 | 0:02:54 | |
57-year-old Stewart Staples and 41-year-old Simon Hillidr. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
Their families are still seeking answers. | 0:02:57 | 0:03:03 | |
The relatives of Mr Hillier, | 0:03:03 | 0:03:04 | |
a pyrotechnic enthusiast volunteering in the shop, | 0:03:04 | 0:03:06 | |
decided to make the difficult journey back to the scene. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:10 | |
It's bringing memories back, naturally. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:16 | |
What it is, he's not only been a son, | 0:03:16 | 0:03:22 | |
he was a friend as well as ` hero. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:25 | |
Staffordshire Police says it recognises the families' concerns | 0:03:25 | 0:03:27 | |
but it's a challenging and lengthy inquiry. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 | |
They hope a decision will bd reached in the near future | 0:03:29 | 0:03:32 | |
as to whether criminal charges will be brought. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:34 | |
Until that decision is made, | 0:03:34 | 0:03:36 | |
the coroner says an inquest cannot be held. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:39 | |
It does make me angry. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:46 | |
There are that many things H hear as well as things | 0:03:46 | 0:03:49 | |
that I think might have happened, | 0:03:49 | 0:03:55 | |
but at the end of the day mx son should have got out. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:59 | |
Two years on it's not clear how much longer the families will be left | 0:03:59 | 0:04:02 | |
waiting for the answers they so desperately need. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:04 | |
Let's have a look at the weather forecast now. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:08 | |
Here's Alex Hamilton. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:10 | |
Good evening. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:12 | |
As we go through this evening, we may see some rather | 0:04:12 | 0:04:15 | |
spooky mist patches beginning to roll in. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:16 | |
Then, of course, for the | 0:04:16 | 0:04:18 | |
next few days, we have high pressure in charge of our weather and | 0:04:18 | 0:04:21 | |
conditions will start to become noticeably cooler. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:23 | |
Looking at the details for the rest of the night, | 0:04:23 | 0:04:26 | |
quite a cloudy night with a little bit of | 0:04:26 | 0:04:28 | |
drizzle here and there, but | 0:04:28 | 0:04:30 | |
then we will start to see those mist patches forming in the earlx hours | 0:04:30 | 0:04:35 | |
with low temperatures around seven Celsius. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:36 | |
Not a blanket of mist and | 0:04:36 | 0:04:39 | |
fog tomorrow, just patches of it, but still, allow an extra couple | 0:04:39 | 0:04:42 | |
of minutes to get to work in the morning. | 0:04:42 | 0:04:44 | |
Some brighter conditions in | 0:04:44 | 0:04:45 | |
the afternoon with highs of around 14 Celsius. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:48 | |
I'll leave you with the outlook Quite cloudy for Monday and Tuesday. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:51 | |
That's it for now. | 0:04:51 | 0:05:00 | |
