Anti-apartheid activist remembered in Bedford

The anti-apartheid campaigner Trevor Huddleston has been remembered in his home town of Bedford.
A ceremony by his bust in Silver Street marked what would have been his one hundredth birthday.
A congregation from St Paul's Church led by the Revered Canon John Pedler gathered in the same spot where Trevor's friend Nelson Mandela came to honour him in 2000.
The former South African President was a great admirer of his saying famously that "no white man has done more for South Africa than Trevor Huddleston."
In this clip our reporter Matt Lockwood hears from Eugenia Ekejivba who put a garland around the bust during the ceremony.
