  1. Update on nuclear bomber's historic journey to Yorkshire from France published at 13:25 British Summer Time 29 March 2017

    Yesterday I told you about a Mirage IV  plane that has been donated by the French government to the Yorkshire Air Museum at Elvington just outside York.

    It is the only one to be given to an independent museum and the only one to be placed outside France.

    The 77ft long (23m) plane is travelling 527 miles (848km) by road and sea.

    So where can you can see it tomorrow? Here's the planned journey from Portsmouth:

    0930 -  Mirage departs by road from Portsmouth.  The planned route is M275, M3 , M25, M1, A1M,  A64  and B1228.  All roads will remain open throughout the journey.

    1400-1500 - Due to arrive at Elvington.  The bomber will then be off- loaded.

    If you're a fan and want to watch the arrival at Elvington but the museum says people can't park on the main road because the wide load will not be able to get through.

    And remember we would love to see your pictures.

    England's oldest man - who is originally from Hull - has turned another year older.

    However, the former teacher and lecturer says he's a "bit irked" to be sharing his day with the beginning of Britain's exit from the EU. 

    Bob has 10 grandchildren and 25 great-grandchildren "scattered around Europe", including in Germany and describes himself as very internationally minded. 

    He says Theresa May's signing of Article 50  is like a divorce.

    While Mr Weighton is the oldest man in England, he shares the title of Britain's oldest man with Alf Smith, of Perth, Scotland.

    Part of the complex is in a poor state of repair and needs urgent work

    The council has reached an agreement with CPG Investments Ltd, the owner of the building.

    More than £2m has been spent on repairs to the Silo by North East Lincolnshire Council since February 2016 following safety concerns.

    Quote Message

    The Silo at Victoria Mill is an important part of the town’s history and a dominant feature on the skyline for miles around. It’s too early to go into any detail about plans for the building’s future, but we’re looking to improve the borough’s maritime heritage offer and it’s likely the Silo will play a major part in that strategy.”

    BBC Lincolnshire Live

    There's some new figures out from the RSPCA this morning about animal cruelty in our county. 

    They investigated 3,236 complaints in 2016 - that's down slightly from the 3,264 investigations from 2015. 

    However they say it's not all about the numbers of course and some horrible instances still go on.

    This is Queenie, a crossbreed taken to Blue Cross Animal Hospital in Grimsby, emaciated and collapsed:

    She was just 7.5kg, half the weight she should have been and sadly had to be put down:
