    Here on Tinker Lane in Meltham, West Yorkshire they've pulled out all the stops to make sure that the VE Day commemorations are also celebratory.

    Residents have organised a street party and have brought out the bunting, baked cakes and are even enjoying a few bottles of fizz.

    Throughout the day the plans involve the Meltham and Meltham Mill band who will give a special performance, and there was also a flypast by a Spitfire.

    Valerie Swingbank, pictured with family friend Layla, has brought out her commemorative tea towels which show details of the ration books issued by the government during the war.

    She said: "We're lucky and fortunate that we all get on with each other to organise events like this.

    "It wouldn't be possible without this community."

    Although the mood is celebratory, she told BBC News she felt it was also "very important to remember those who didn't come home".

    The boss of Yorkshire Water says a hosepipe ban which came into place earlier is expected to last until winter.

    More than five million householders in the region have been barred from using hosepipes for activities such as watering the garden, washing the car or filling a paddling pool.

    It comes after months of extremely hot and dry weather caused reservoir levels in Yorkshire to drop to just over 50%.

    Nicola Shaw, chief executive of Yorkshire Water, tells BBC 5 Live: "I expect [the ban] to last until the winter as that is when the reservoirs will have recharged."
