Remove the leading zero from date

I like to print dates formatted in this way: 6 October 2018. Usually, I just type the date by hand. But I tried to set things up so that today would format dates the way I like. I must have only tested it when the day number was two digits. I have this:

documentclassarticle
usepackage[english]datetime2
DTMnewdatestylestrunkdate%
 renewcommand*DTMdisplaydate[4]##3 DTMenglishmonthname##2 ##1
 renewcommand*DTMDisplaydateDTMdisplaydate
AtBeginDocument%
 DTMsetdatestylestrunkdate% after babel loaded, or babel stomps on this
begindocument
Today is today.
enddocument

Unfortunately, this prints 06 October 2018, with a leading zero to force a two-digit day. How do I get 6 October 2018, without the leading zero?

The package may have a specific command, but you can use the TeX number command

documentclassarticle
usepackage[english]datetime2
DTMnewdatestylestrunkdate%
 renewcommand*DTMdisplaydate[4]number##3 DTMenglishmonthname##2 ##1
 renewcommand*DTMDisplaydateDTMdisplaydate
AtBeginDocument%
 DTMsetdatestylestrunkdate% after babel loaded, or babel stomps on this
begindocument
Today is today.
enddocument

  That's actually the method recommended by the manual of datetime2, page 95. No caveat about the problem of following space, unfortunately.
