It's been hailed as a "victory for common-sense and compassion".

Last month Kirkella and Westella Parish Council refused to consider a colourful design in memory of Jess Lawson who died on a school trip to France.

The parish councillors favoured a 'conventional' black and brown bench. 

It prompted the resignation of the council's vice chair and caused something of a public outcry.

Now East Riding of Yorkshire Council have decided "enough's enough" and yesterday they took the decision to not only install the bench but to pay for it too.

I spoke to Jess's father, Tony Lawson:

Would it surprise you that in 2016 we're still talking about the number of people who have been admitted to hospital with malnutrition?  

It's estimated that it affects over three million people in the UK and the provider of the Meals on Wheels service in North East Lincolnshire say it isn't unusual to see someone suffering.  

The charity BAPEN which raises awareness about the condition, say a third of people who suffer are over the age of 65. 

The total figure has almost trebled in the last 10 years.

Hull City are facing the real possibility of losing Premier League prospect Josh Tymon next month for next to nothing.

It's understood he could leave Hull City for as little as £70k with Scottish giants Rangers the latest club to express an interest.  

We're told his representatives have agreed several deals with Hull City FC but on each occasion they've not been completed.
