A date for your diary: York Minster's historic Chapter House will be the setting for the cathedral's annual lighting of candles to mark Holocaust Memorial Day on Thursday, 26 January.

I've been to this poignant event before, which brings together people from all walks of life in this silent commemoration.

This year's theme is "How can life go on?".

The cathedral's commemoration will start with a dedicated Evensong service followed by a procession to the Chapter House for the lighting of 600 candles set out to form the Star of David.     

York Minster's commemoration is one of a series of events taking place across York for Holocaust Memorial Week.

The seven wonders of the ancient world are pretty impressive - that's a given.

So how about seeing them all in one place - alongside some more modern wonders - and having them all made out of Lego? What's not to love?

They'll be going on public display this weekend at the Harley Gallery, external near Worksop.

I've been along to see for myself, trying not to stand on any loose bricks in my bare feet:

Leeds Rhinos winger Ryan Hall has created so many special memories for the club's fans over the last 10 years.

Tonight his contribution to the sport will be recognised with a testimonial game at Headingley against Hull KR.

Here, team-mates Danny McGuire and Rob Burrow pay their own special tributes:

Three anglers who were caught without licences on a North Yorkshire river have been fined a total of nearly £900.

A licence would have cost each of them just £27.

North Yorkshire Police's Rural Taskforce worked with the enforcement team at the Angling Trust to catch the culprits. The teams were acting on a tip-off. 

Anglers are being warned to make sure they have the right rod licence before they set out to fish.

We brought news to you earlier about schools in Rotherham being told the council is pulling money for the crossing warden service.

I've been out to one school this morning to see the patrol there in action - and to see what parents have to say about the news:

The search for a little girl in South Yorkshire is finally over. Don't worry, she hadn't gone missing or anything like that - but when she sent a mystery letter to a Sheffield Uni boffin, he wanted to find out more.

She sent the letter to Professor Tim Birkhead, who was keen to help her after she fired off a string of questions to him as part of a school challenge.

The only problem was that she'd forgotten to include a return address...

Professor Brian Cox shared news of the search, and BBC Radio Sheffield has now revealed the quizzical letter-writer was none other than eight-year-old Aisha Ahmed.

Aisha's identity was finally revealed after her teacher saw a post about the mystery letter on BBC Radio Sheffield's Facebook page. 

Aisha's been speaking to me today about her letter, and she's going to have a special tour of Sheffield University too:

I've been to visit the site of an exciting new project in Leeds which is aimed at helping anyone with dementia.

The planned dementia-friendly garden in Rothwell is thought to be the first of its kind in the UK and the people behind it say they'll reach their £35,000 fundraising target today:

Scarborough's roadworks are causing delays again this morning, as they have been all week.

The A64 Seamer Road in the town is currently reported to be very busy but moving in both directions near the B1427 Queen Margaret's Road junction.

After launching its latest anti-litter effort, external earlier this month, Selby District Council is giving a visual "pat on the back" to those who've been supporting the idea.

It's simple enough: people are encouraged to pick up just one piece of litter they see and bin it.

Already, snaps of people doing just that have been coming in, and the council hopes the simplicity of the scheme will pay off for the whole community.

You can see more photos of people doing their bit here, external.

The number of tourists coming to Yorkshire is on the up, new figures show.

There was a 12% increase in visits and a 21% increase in overnight stays in the three months between July and September last year compared with the same period in 2015, according to Visit Britain.  

The amount of money tourists spent in Yorkshire also rose significantly last summer - with tourism bringing in £194m to the region's economy.

Money for 21 school crossing wardens in Rotherham is being pulled by the council.

Image source, PA

The authority says it's had to identify the safest school crossing sites and ask those schools to pay for a crossing warden themselves. 

Out of 21 schools identified, nine have agreed to find the money - but at three schools, including Dinnington and Anston Park Juniors, the crossing wardens have been given their notice.
