The Nottingham Blitz of 8 and 9 May, 1941: Although Nottingham was bombed on only 11 occasions and 179 people were killed and 350 injured, the worst air raid occurred on the night of 8 and 9 May 1941 when 159 people including 31 children were killed and 274 injured. The video is of a excerpt from the service of remembrance held in St. Mary's Churchyard in Nottingham's Lace Market on the 8th May, 2016 to remember those who lost their lives in the raid and in particular to all those who lost their lives fighting one of the many fires caused by the bombing.
