00:00Here's today's Derbyshire Times video bulletin.

00:03Former miners, community stalwarts and residents of Arkwright Town came together for the unveiling of a monument

00:09to remember and celebrate friends and loved ones who dedicated their lives to working in the pit.

00:14The unveiling of a new monument to Arkwright colliery was performed by John Burroughs, who was NUM representative there,

00:20and Norma Dolby of the Arkwright Women's Action Group.

00:24The colliery closed in 1988 after 50 years service.

00:28Parish councillor Kieran Payne said,

00:30It was clearly evident from the reactions of the former colliery workers that they were overjoyed for the occasion.

00:36All they had ever wanted is a place for the former heavy industry to be recognised in this village,

00:41as it had previously appeared to be forgotten.

00:43The names of ten miners who lost their lives in the line of duty are inscribed on the monument.

00:49Kieran said,

00:49I am now hopeful that with this memorial dedicated to those unfortunate people,

00:54the remaining former miners can now rest easy with this fitting tribute.

01:01Four people have been arrested in connection with an incident in Shirebrook which left a man in hospital.

01:06Police arrested two further people yesterday after a man was found with serious injuries following an incident in Shirebrook.

01:12A 23-year-old man and a 30-year-old man have been arrested on suspicion of wounding with intent.

01:18This comes after two men aged 20 and 22 were arrested on suspicion of wounding with intent on Monday.

01:23They have since been released on bail as enquiries continue.

01:27Police were made aware of a man who had been admitted to hospital on Saturday the 28th of June,

01:32following an incident earlier that evening.

01:34Police are keen to hear from anyone who was in or around the gate-in pub on King Edward Street in Shirebrook on Saturday evening.

01:40Officers say they are also aware of a video which is circulating on social media which appears to show the incident.

01:48They have asked that anybody who sees the video does not share it but sends it directly to the police.
