"I want to place on record my thanks to our riders, mechanics, management and fantastic supporters, as it wouldn't have been possible without them.

"Ipswich certainly didn't deserve to lose the way they did after seeing Rory Schlein and Danny King get hurt during the final.

"But, on the other hand, I feel we deserved the trophy for our fantastic form in the last part of the season."

BBC nature documentary Blue Planet makes a return to our screens this weekend.

One of the episodes will feature the work of Cambridge-based British Antarctic Survey (BAS) on the UK overseas territory of Bird Island in South Georgia.

The final episode of the series focuses on the people studying our oceans and the wildlife that depend on it and features Lucy Quinn, a former zoological field assistant at BAS.

The island contains diverse populations of seabirds and is home to four species of albatross, 50,000 breeding pairs of penguins and 65,000 fur seals.

Athena Dinar from the organisation said: "The BBC wanted to film albatrosses but they also filmed one of our bird biologists doing her work and especially how we collect plastic from around the albatrosses' nests.

"What's interesting is that Bird Island is very far away from the cruise ships and a lot of society and yet still a lot of plastic is being found by the albatrosses and is coming back into the food chain.

"Sir David Attenborough himself highlights that plastic is really a problem that we have to deal with."

Speaking of the filming, Sir David said: "There's a shot of the young being fed fish and what comes out of the mouth of the beak of the adult? Not sand eels, not fish, not squid - which is what they mostly feed on. It's plastic, and it's heartbreaking."

Blue Planet II begins on Sunday at 20:00 on BBC One.

They'll be burning bodies in Cambridge tomorrow...

But don't be alarmed - not real ones, but facsimiles of people.

It's part of an event at the Church of Great St Mary's to mark the 500th anniversary of the Reformation.

As historian and author Matthew Ward explains, the Reformation of 1517, which changed Catholicism, had its groundings here in Cambridgeshire.

The Reformation came about when Martin Luther, dissatisfied with the way the church was being run, nailed his 95 Theses - or criticisms - to the door of Wittenberg Church, Germany.

"This lit the blue touch paper beneath the Reformation", explains Matthew.

"It spread like wild fire across Europe, straight here to Cambridge... and the Reformation was very much made in Cambridge by Cambridge people... it's our very own story," he says.

Luther's ideas and some of his followers came to Cambridge, with one becoming Professor of Divinity.

They shared their ideas, including with Thomas Cranmer - who became the Archbishop of Canterbury and wrote the Book of Common Prayer.

Along with other Bishops, they promoted the idea of reforming the Catholic religion into a more Protestant form.

"Amazing events took place at the Church of Great St Mary's, in the heart of Cambridge... tomorrow we're going to be recreating those events with a family activity day, and a play in the evening," says Matthew.

In March 2015, Cambridge United supporter Simon Dobbin was left permanently brain damaged after he was attacked by rival football fans following a match in Southend.

He spent a year in hospital before returning home to Mildenhall, but is unable to walk or talk and needs 24-hour care.

The BBC programme, DIY SOS, is stepping in to help the family modify their home to Simon's care needs and has enlisted the help of local trades people and businesses.

A water company has donated £100,000 to the Wildlife Trust for Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire, external after sewage leaked into a brook in Cambridgeshire.

An enforcement undertaking (EU) has been agreed with Anglian Water, external after the company polluted about 635m of Houghton Brook with sewage in September 2014.

Around 150 fish died when sewage from Ilex Road Pumping Station in St Ives was pumped into the water system for 10 hours via the emergency overflow.

The overflow was mainly caused by excessive levels of un-flushable material blocking the pump, which was a known issue at the works, though a second pump being out of service and the failure of an alarm were also identified as issues.

Anglian Water - which also paid the Environment Agency's costs - has since replaced equipment at the pumping station including a pump that can better cope with high levels of rag.
