The first veterans to receive the new Nuclear Test Medal have worn it in public for the first time.

A service was held at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire to mark National Atomic Veterans Awareness Day.

Around 50 veterans, families and descendants attended on Sunday to remember those servicemen lost, and those who had already received their medals, wore them with pride.
