Laura Woodmans, nursery owner, said: “John spoke to the children and staff about his childhood which looked a lot different to ours.

“The whole nursery then marched outside to the wonderful Emma from Linby & Hucknall Brass Band who played The Last Post.

"The children and staff along with John and Susan had a moment's silence whilst this was played.

“The celebrations continued with the talented 1940's vocalist Jayne Darling who performed a selection of songs for all of us to parade safely around our car park.

"We will never forget this day – until we meet again.”
