A war memorial has been vandalised after revellers descended on a park to enjoy the warm weather as lockdown restrictions eased.
US flags were torn down from the memorial in Endcliffe Park, Sheffield, which is dedicated to 10 American soldiers who died when the B-17 Flying Fortress, known as Mi Amigo, crashed in the park on February 22 1944.
Pensioner Tony Foulds, who looks after the memorial, urged vandals to stay away in a message posted on Twitter.
Really sad to hear from Tony Folds that #MiAmigo memorial in Endcliffe Park was vandalised last night, US flags were torn down. Tony is out this morning cleaning up the memorial to the brave airmen of the @usairforce who lost their lives in #WorldWarII . Please show some respect pic.twitter.com/cfs0N96DbI
