An couple from Doncaster have begun a campaign to have their son - and others who fought for the British army in Northern Ireland - remembered with a national memorial.

Anthony Dykes was shot by the IRA almost forty years ago during his tour of duty in Belfast.

His parents Fred and Kathleen say it's time there was recognition that he fought a war for his country - and he and his colleagues should be honoured.
