A much-loved Nottingham market trader who died aged 96 has been honoured by a pub. John Green was a popular trader at Victoria Market and Sneinton Market for more than 30 years.

One of his children, Jacqui Rooke, 60, described Mr Green as a "hard-working chatter and just a lovely bloke". She said: "He was very popular in Nottingham and was on Sneinton Market in all weathers. Mr Green stopped trading when he was 65 due to health issues caused by exposure to rain and damp. He died on April 22 at City Hospital due to lung disease and heart failure, after being in and out of hospital for some time.
