schools and homes of Derwent and Ashopton were submerged in 1943, and what remains today is usually hidden beneath the surface of Ladybower Reservoir in Derbyshire's picturesque Upper Derwent Valley.

Damien Gaunt was cycling near Derwent Reservoir on Tuesday when he saw military personnel on board waving at his children below. A Hercules aircraft was also spotted flying over Derbyshire.
