  HIS fondest memories of his friends are of how happy and "full of life" they were – and Jonny Sixsmith will be thinking of them when he runs just over 13 miles in their memory. Linda Dodds and Michael Andrews, both of Matlock, died from cancer about a year apart and were close family friends of Jonny. The 22-year-old said their deaths hit him hard and he decided to take part in the Chester Half Marathon tomorrow to...

Polls closed at 10pm last night and counting of the votes was due to begin at 10am today across Derbyshire. Parties must win at least 33 out of 64 seats to take over at County Hall, Matlock.
