Remember Lorraine Daniels? She was the local Cambridgeshire resident who won £729,026 on the lottery with her father back in April this year. 

Today she hosted an Elf Festival at her daughter’s special school to help pupils and staff start Christmas week celebrations in seasonal style.

Ms Daniels decided to host the festive to enable her daughter Lotus, and more than 40 fellow students at Meadowgate School in Wisbech, to celebrate Christmas in a familiar environment, where they could feel safe and relaxed.   

Back in 2014 Lotus underwent surgery for her extreme epilepsy and has been attending the school for a number of years.

Lorraine said: "Our lottery win couldn't have come at a better time".

"At the time, money was ever so tight. I couldn't afford the specialist bed we needed for Lotus and had only been able to place the order because of the generosity of the community who raised enough money for us to order it.

"Before the bed had even arrived, dad and I won the Lottery and we could pay back the community, so the money went to another worthy cause".

A spokesman for Meadowgate said the school is "so grateful for Lorraine's support with this event and her enthusiasm for the school".

The Christmas fundraising effort of the Salvation Army in Cambridgeshire is in full swing, with hundreds of volunteers working to provide care to those in need.

Not least for Nicole.

She was made homeless by last year's Cumbrian floods.

Nicole was helped out by the charity and housed at Kings Ripton, near Cambridge.

One year later she is looking to move back to Cumbria...

A report from the government's National Infrastructure Commission (NIC) suggests Northampton be included in the Oxford-Cambridge rail link announced last month.

The commission said Northampton was "an integral part" of the Oxford-Milton Keynes-Cambridge corridor.

The NIC interim report says two stretches of East-West Rail's western section could run from Northampton to Oxford or Reading, and from Northampton to Aylesbury or London Marylebone.

Northampton Borough Council also hopes the report will secure support for a north-west Northampton bypass, which would run from Welford Road to Round Spinney.

What are you doing with your Christmas Eve? Mulled wine? How about roasting chestnuts on an open fire?

Not if you're Ian Cumming, star of the Great British Bake Off in 2015. 

He's going to be "throwing the stats" at Shippea Hill station, after it was voted "the quietest in Britain" for a second year running.

There are just 12 entries and exits to and from trains at the station in a year, something Mr Cumming wants to change.

And if you attend, you may even get a tasty surprise...

One of Cambridge's biggest employers has been celebrating the 50th anniversary of its partnership with the RAF.

Marshall Aerospace & Development began maintaining Hercules aircraft in 1966.

Its latest maintenance contract for the C-130s will last until 2035.

Unfortunately a planned flypast didn't take place due to the bad weather conditions. Here was the scene a short while ago...

Grey.

The family of junior doctor Rose Polge, whose body was recovered from the sea in Dorset after she went missing, have called for "something to be done" about the "crisis of morale" affecting young medics.

An inquest has found that Rose, originally from Melbourn and who played hockey in Royston, was "struggling at work with self-doubt".

Dr Polge's family said in a statement that "many doctors work under terrific pressure and over incredibly long hours. They cope with fatigue and heavy workloads in extremely busy departments".

"Doctors can feel a dreadful sense of personal failure and inadequacy if they struggle to keep working," it added.

"Our hope is that something will be done about this crisis in the health service soon."

• Friday, 12 February - Rose Polge's car is found in a car park near Ansteys Cove in Torbay.

• Saturday, 13 February - The family and boyfriend of Dr Polge join more than 100 people searching the area around Ansteys Cove.

• Sunday, 14 February - Torbay Hospital confirms Rose Polge works there as a junior doctor. "We will do whatever we can to support the authorities," a statement says.

• Tuesday, 16 February - Dr Polge's family release a statement saying they are "overwhelmed" by the support from her friends and colleagues.

• Friday, 1 April - A woman's body is recovered from the sea east of Portland headland in Dorset.

• Monday, 11 April - Police announce the discovery and say relatives of Dr Polge have been informed.

Trainee doctor Rose Polge took her own life by walking into the sea in Torquay, a coroner has said.

Ms Polge had worked five days of an 11-day stretch at Torbay Hospital and was depressed, the inquest at Torbay Coroners' Court heard.

She had searched the internet looking into aspects of suicide before she went missing.

A 25-year-old junior doctor is believed to have walked into the sea at Anstey's Cove after leaving a shift early at Torbay Hospital.

An inquest into her death heard from Rose Polge's long-term boyfriend, fellow doctor Alasdair Hawley, who described how she had spent the night before her death walking along the beach near their Torquay home trying to decide what to do with her career,

She asked if he would stay with her if she left the profession. He said "yes".

Later that afternoon she walked into the sea. 

Rose left two notes, their contents not read out in court.

Dr Hawley said: "I know she was struggling at work with perceived self-doubts. But feedback was that she was progressing well and was actually very capable."

Describing the last time he saw Dr Polge alive, on the morning of her death, Dr Hawley said: "She looked distressed. I remember her asking me if she left medicine would I still love her."

It may be cold and misty, but just think that in six months time we could be standing in a field at Cherry Hinton Hall, with the sun blazing down, watching one of the first four acts announced at next year's Cambridge Folk Festival.

Among those acts will be Jake Bugg, who will headline Sunday night.

Jake's progress from performing in 2012 at the festival's smallest stage, The Den, to headlining Stage 1 is a feat matched only by one other artist, Passenger.

Also confirmed are folk legends Oysterband, Lau and Hayseed Dixie.

Next year's festival will take place between 27 and 30 July.

The BBC Sports Personality of the Year awards took place last night, with Andy Murray taking a record-breaking third title.

Also honoured last night were the unsung heroes of sport. The volunteers who give up time, sleep and energy to make sport happen.

One of those was Vanessa Weedon-Jones, from Hunts Sailing Club.

She was the winner of the BBC East Unsung Hero Award after she set up a "women on the water" club in St Ives.

Vanessa headed to Birmingham last night, where she was up against 14 other unsung heroes from around the country.

Unfortunately, it wasn't to be on the night, with the national award going to boxing club founder Marcellus Baz, who won in the East Midlands.

BBC Weather

After a murky start for most, any fog and mist patches will start to gradually clear. The odd spot of rain will also continue throughout.

While the odd cloud break could develop, any brightness will remain rather limited. Highs of 6C (43F).

Here was the particularly grey scene in Longthorpe, sent in by BBC Weather Watcher "Paul's Patch".
