Village finally gets WWI memorial
A Lincolnshire village has got its own World War I memorial - after an 80 year wait.

Originally, a memorial was not built in Fulstow because of a disagreement over whether a man shot for desertion should be included.

Nicola Pike, a villager, started the campaign for the memorial to be built.

She said not having a memorial must have been sad for the families of the dead men and that finally getting one showed the solidarity of the village.
