Good evening. initially struggled

:00:09.:00:12.

First tonight, after a long campaign by relatives a new monument

:00:13.:00:16.

to honour local men killed in the first and second world wars

:00:17.:00:19.

has been dedicated today at Quedgeley in Gloucestershire.

:00:20.:00:23.

Their names were fading from their old war memorial -

:00:24.:00:25.

and families decided something had to be done.

:00:26.:00:27.

A corner of Quedgeley that certainly does still remember.

:00:28.:00:39.

Nearly a century after it was first built -

:00:40.:00:47.

this morning a ceremony to rededicate this old war memorial.

:00:48.:00:50.

Like many war memorials across the country, this one in

:00:51.:00:53.

Quedgeley is about 100 years old and showing

:00:54.:00:54.

So much so that many of the names on it

:00:55.:00:58.

But that was something that relatives felt should not

:00:59.:01:01.

It made me feel quite sad because I thought

:01:02.:01:07.

eventually these won't be legible and these people will be forgotten.

:01:08.:01:10.

I feel very strongly that they shouldn't be.

:01:11.:01:15.

They sacrificed a lot for us and future generations.

:01:16.:01:20.

My uncle David Morgan was a member of

:01:21.:01:22.

the 5th Battalion of the Gloucestershire Regiment.

:01:23.:01:24.

And he died during the withdrawal to Dunkirk in May 1940 when he was 24.

:01:25.:01:30.

-- He's one of the names that's on there.

:01:31.:01:45.

He has no known grave and actually we didn't receive confirmation

:01:46.:01:47.

And as a result of her and their hard work,

:01:48.:01:53.

today this new section of the memorial was unveiled.

:01:54.:01:55.

Replicating all the names on the original, ensuring

:01:56.:01:57.

that they will not be forgotten - for generations more to come.

:01:58.:02:03.

There was some disruption in the centre of Bristol today

:02:04.:02:07.

as far right and anti-fascist campaigners held two demonstrations.

:02:08.:02:09.

Officers set up a special policing zone and the area was closely

:02:10.:02:12.

They say they had to work hard to maintain order,

:02:13.:02:16.

A number of people were injured in the early hours after a large

:02:17.:02:24.

fight outside a night club in Bristol.

:02:25.:02:26.

The emergency services were called to the Analog nightclub

:02:27.:02:28.

A number of those injured went to the BRI.

:02:29.:02:33.

Police are appealing for witnesses to come forward.

:02:34.:02:34.

Two people have been arrested in connection with the incident.

:02:35.:02:39.

The parents of a teenager from Gloucester who died

:02:40.:02:42.

in a speedboat accident have launched a set of boating

:02:43.:02:44.

14-year-old Emily Gardner died at Brixham Harbour

:02:45.:02:48.

when the boat she was in capsized and her ill-fitting

:02:49.:02:51.

Since her death her family's been raising money and awareness

:02:52.:02:59.

and today they've released Emily's Code to help

:03:00.:03:01.

To football, Bristol City drew 0-0 with Burton Albion.

:03:02.:03:09.

They've dropped into the bottom three of the Championship.

:03:10.:03:11.

A big win for Bristol Rovers, they won 2-0 at Oxford.

:03:12.:03:13.

Olly Clarke and Stuart Sinclair with the goals.

:03:14.:03:15.

Defeat for Swindon after Chesterfield struck in the dying

:03:16.:03:18.

Cheltenham held out for a vital point against Mansfield Town.

:03:19.:03:21.

A dreadful afternoon for Yeovil - they were beaten 4-0

:03:22.:03:23.

And in the National League, Forest Green beat Macclesfield.

:03:24.:03:32.

The goals came from Christian Doidge, Liam Noble and Mark Ellis.

:03:33.:03:40.

Bath Rugby hosted Wasps at the Rec this afternoon.

:03:41.:03:44.

They managed just three points to the Wasps 24.

:03:45.:03:47.

Tom Homer's penalty was all Bath could muster going into the break.

:03:48.:03:49.

And agony for 14-man Gloucester as a last minute penalty

:03:50.:03:52.

Finally, a car that took part in the 1967 Monte Carlo Rally went

:03:53.:03:58.

The specially-modified 1966 Hillman Imp drew a lot of attention.

:03:59.:04:06.

It has a colourful racing history and was driven in the UK's first

:04:07.:04:10.

Expected to fetch ?50,000, it didn't sell.

:04:11.:04:18.

The owner says he'll try again, but was actually looking forward

:04:19.:04:21.

Now the weather and here's Holly Green.

:04:22.:04:23.

A showery picture at times for today and unfortunately

:04:24.:04:26.

looking quite unsettled heading through the coming days.

:04:27.:04:28.

More showers around and some clear spells, as well.

:04:29.:04:38.

But into the early hours, this is coming across us.

:04:39.:04:40.

It could be heavy, it could be thundery, it could bring some hail

:04:41.:04:43.

and also some strong, squally gusts of wind as well

:04:44.:04:46.

A wet start if you are up and about early tomorrow morning.

:04:47.:04:50.

That shifts through, but a lot of showers packing in behind.

:04:51.:04:53.

They could be heavy, they could be thundery

:04:54.:04:55.

Strong gusty winds tomorrow, as well.

:04:56.:04:58.

And making highs of eight or nine degrees feel that bit chillier.

:04:59.:05:00.

Thanks for watching and enjoy the rest of your weekend!

:05:01.:05:12.

Hello. I could have put almost anything in this sphere today such
