    East Yorkshire's most famous pleasure cruiser, the Bridlington-based Yorkshire Belle, is about to celebrate her 70th birthday.

    Yorkshire Belle

    The 80-foot long boat, launched in 1947, has carried hundreds of thousands of holidaymakers on cruises around Bridlington Bay and Flamborough Head. 

    On one occasion a national newspaper declared the Yorkshire Belle offered the best coastal cruise in Britain. 

    It's the sole survivor of the five pleasure boats which once operated out of Bridlington Harbour and later this year there will be special events to mark the anniversary.

    We can all get a bit forgetful at times - misplacing car keys, mobile phones or even articles of clothing.

    You'd think that anyone with dentures would be careful to hang on to their teeth, but at a shop in North Yorkshire that's not the case.

    Staff at Helmsley Outdoors are currently in possession of some false teeth left by a customer and are eager to reunite them with their owner.

    So, if you're missing your molars - give them a shout: 

  8. Child obesity rates are on the rise in Hullpublished at 09:34 Greenwich Mean Time 11 January 2017

    BBC East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire

    We've been talking about obesity this morning as it's a problem in much of our region.

    Statistics seen by Hull City Council recently show the number of obese children in the city is on the rise, with just under a quarter of 10 and 11-year-olds falling in to the category. 

    The National Obesity Forum has called on the government to start weighing children every year in order to cut obesity.

    Alison and Emma say children here are happy with the healthy choices.

  9. New centre aims to care for elderlypublished at 09:07 Greenwich Mean Time 11 January 2017

    We're taking a closer look this morning at the new Integrated Care Centre being built in Hull.

    There are some big claims being made - that it's the first of it's kind in the UK and that it will revolutionise the way we look after older people.

    The idea is to keep elderly people out of hospital if they don't need to be there. 

    All the services they need will be under one roof and they will be seen, diagnosed, treated and sent home all on the same day.

    The new Integrated Care Centre will open in Hull next year.
