A £250,000 fundraising campaign is underway to honour the life of the Lieutenant-General described by the Duke of Wellington as the 'greatest trainer of men'.

Tommy Clough served in the Korean war but is due to celebrate both his 90th birthday and 70th anniversary of a key battle in isolation.

The help comes amid fears that further bad weather could be on the way but the five severe "danger to life" warnings have been downgraded.
