00:00Here's today's Derbyshire Times video bulletin.
00:04Hundreds of people will gather in Derbyshire today to celebrate the life of Slimming World founder Margaret Miles Bramwell OBE.
00:12Slimming World members, consultants and colleagues will gather alongside Margaret's family and friends to celebrate her life.
00:18Her funeral cortege will leave Margaret's home in Mansfield Woodhouse for Slimming World's offices in Summercoats, Alfredton,
00:25where staff and local consultants and managers will line a route through the headquarters,
00:29holding white roses and spring daffodils which they will throw before the path of the car.
00:34A moment's silence will be held as the car pauses outside the reception of the main building.
00:39From there the cortege will continue to the Cathedral Church of All Saints in Derby
00:43for a funeral service led by the very Reverend Dr Peter Robinson, the Dean of Derby.
00:51A Chesterfield hotel has won a top award in the face of stiff competition from 800 contenders.
00:56Premier Inn Chesterfield Town Centre has been named Hotel of the Year in the Whitbread Celebrates Awards.
01:02Kerry Hardy, who manages the hotel on Elder Way said,
01:05It's just amazing. I've got a great team and they deserve it. We all work hard, we all pull together and we're a happy bunch.
01:12Judges praised Premier Inn Chesterfield Town Centre as having one of the best cleanliness stores in the Whitbread estate
01:18and service scores consistently in the high 80s.
01:21Their citation read,
01:23It's down to the collaboration and community that the site management have fostered in the team and it's brought fantastic results.
01:29At only six years old the site is relatively new,
01:32but their year on year growth is really impressive and makes them a worthy winner.
