A pensioner has described how he cried and was left “heartbroken” after flags and poppies were targeted by vandals at the memorial he tends to the crew of a crashed American bomber, as thousands gathered to enjoy the sun.
Tony Foulds, 84, said American flags were ripped down and torn while remembrance poppies were pulled out of flower pots in Endcliffe Park, Sheffield, on Tuesday.
The park was packed with thousands of people on Tuesday and Wednesday, causing widespread concern over Covid-19 risks and the seven tonnes of rubbish Sheffield City Council said it cleared up on Wednesday.
Mr Foulds hit the headlines in 2019 when the story of how the B-17 Flying Fortress Mi Amigo crashed in front of him on February 22, 1944, killing the 10 crewmen, eventually led to a flypast in the park, with 12,000 gathering to watch.
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
