Watch: The 86-year-old keeping the Peak District tidy

An 86-year-old Peak District ranger says she will continue to volunteer for as long as she can fasten her boots.

Margaret Black has been giving up her time to clean signs, pick litter and trim shrubs in the Peak District for almost three decades.

She often visits beauty spots around the national park, both in Derbyshire and Staffordshire, including Thor's Cave and the Goyt Valley.

"It's the companionship, the camaraderie that you get with other like-minded people," Ms Black, of Leek, Staffordshire, said.
