A teenage boy has been charged with manslaughter after an 82-year-old Army veteran died following an attack at a bus station.

Dennis Clarke was taken to hospital after reports of an assault at Derby Bus Station on 6 May.

He died at the Queen's Medical Centre, in Nottingham, nine days later.

A 16-year-old, who cannot be named for legal reasons, appeared at Southern Derbyshire Magistrates' Court on Thursday.
