Here is the blue plaque in Kirkby Mallory to honour the achievements of Ada Lovelace, the world's first computer programmer.

Lovelace, who lived at Kirkby Hall, in Leicestershire, is considered to be the first computer programmer following her work with Charles Babbage’s Difference Engine.

The plaque is on the Coach House in the hamlet as the hall no longer exists and this is the nearest intact building.

Councillor Maureen Cook, from Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council, said: "I am really pleased to see such a remarkable lady honoured in this way.

"Her achievements and dedication need to be recorded and the blue plaque is a fitting tribute."

Panthers, who have become the first UK side in history to qualify for the CHL knockout stages, are in Finland to face Turku in Group F tonight (17:00).

Neilson, whose side have already won the group, told BBC Radio Nottingham: "We won't be taking this game lightly.

"We have a huge desire to win our final group game in the CHL."

Panthers' reward for winning the group is home advantage in Friday's last-16 draw, which means the second leg will be played in Nottingham.

The higher the points tally of sides in the knockout stages, the better their seeding as the tournament progresses.

A gig-goer says the rock band "jumped in to stop fans getting hurt" by "heavy-handed" security.

Ada Lovelace, who lived at Kirkby Hall, in Leicestershire, when she was a child, is considered to be the first computer programmer following her work with Charles Babbage’s Difference Engine.

Mathematician and presenter Hannah Fry (below) has described Lovelace as a woman with "character flaws" but someone who's work was "so extraordinary that it would take another hundred years and Alan Turing to recognise the significance."

The plaque is set to be revealed at 12:30 at the Coach House in Kirby Mallory, as the hall no longer exists and this is the nearest intact building to it.

They were found trapped at the bottom of an 8ft hole, thought to be part of an old sewage system.

RSPCA Insp Sarah Gardner said: “I had to climb down into the hole and try and catch each frog individually, but there was about two inches of water at the bottom so it was quite muddy and I had to keep looking out for the frogs poking their heads up."

She said they have since been released back into the wild.

Pauline Latham, the MP for Mid Derbyshire, said the page continued to "pursue" Ms Solloway (pictured above) over the collapse of Compass, as she is the wife of a former director.
