The family of one of the Rotherham workers killed at Didcot Power Station can finally lay him to rest this afternoon, over six months after he died.

Ken Cresswell from Clifton was one of four men who died when a boiler house collapsed at the site in February.

It took more than half a year for three of the bodies to be recovered - including a second Rotherham worker, John Shaw from Kimberworth.

Dozens of people are expected to turn out this afternoon for a celebration of Ken's life in his home town.

His family told Hallam they're expecting a huge number of his former colleagues to come along, as Ken was known by so many people across the country.
