A plaque to mark the Sheffield Blitz has been unveiled in the city.
The plaque is placed on The Moor, at Atkinsons department store, which was one of the sites completely demolished during World War II.
The creator of Horrible Histories, Terry Deary, took part in a ceremony to mark the occasion.

The plaque is the first in a series to be unveiled across the city.
