Counting continues at Soham where representatives of all the main parties are pacing across the counting hall.

And obvious to all are the huge piles stacking up for the Conservative candidate James Palmer.

He's been the front runner throughout the campaign and he's already been congratulated by the Green Party candidate Julie Howell and Labour's Kevin Price.

Asked how he was was feeling, he said it was "too soon to say" but "things are going well".

"If it was first past the post then I'd be more confident," he said.

Second round counting begins shortly.

The areas being searched at the landfill site for missing RAF Honington serviceman Corrie Mckeague are to be expanded, it has been announced.

Officers say they've found material that indicates they are searching in the right area. 

But towards the edges of the area they noticed the waste may have shifted.

When work gets under way again next week at the site at Milton in Cambridgeshire, the area being searched will take into account the possibility of the waste having moved.

Police say the work has been reviewed while the search has been taking place.

Inquiries have also continued away from the site, gathering further information about Corrie's lifestyle and background.
