Thousands of people have witnessed a fly-past honouring 10 airmen who died when their plane crashed in a Sheffield park 75 years ago.

A Dakota and two Typhoons took off from RAF Coningsby this morning towards Sheffield.

The US bomber - a B-17 Flying Fortress known as Mi Amigo - came down in Endcliffe Park on 22 February 1944, killing everyone on board.

A campaign for a fly-past started after a chance meeting between BBC Breakfast presenter Dan Walker and Tony Foulds.

Tony, 82, witnessed the crash and regularly tends to the park's memorial.

He believes the pilot took action to avoid crashing into him and his friends playing in the park.
