Workers at the UK's last active coal-fired power station say "it'll be a sad day" when the plant closes for good in September.

Ratcliffe-on-Soar Power Station has been generating electricity for 57 years. It was commissioned by the Central Electricity Generating Board in 1967, with a capacity of 2,000 megawatts, enough to power two million homes across the East Midlands and beyond.

The station is owned by international energy company, Uniper. It will close on 30 September as part of government plans to end coal production in the UK.

Reporter Emily Anderson has been to meet some of the workers preparing to say their goodbyes.
