The Cornucopia Festival at Burton Constable has attracted thousands of people over the last five years.

An investigation by Ofcom found that the company broke an important rule, designed to ensure everyone can contact the emergency services at all times.

In the wake of Storm Eva a telephone exchange in York which was taking calls from customers in Hull, was flooded.

This resulted in 34 different numbers failing to connect to the emergency services over a four hour period.

According to regulations, telephone companies should ensure that emergency calls can be connected at all times, even in challenging circumstances.

Thousands of people have visited this exhibition, but there's only a week left so get down there if you can.

It features the 'Sea of Hull' when hundreds volunteered to strip off and be painted blue in Hull city centre one night last July.

It's the summer holidays and if you have a young child or teenager at home you've probably already heard the words "I'm bored" and "there's nothing to do" more than enough times.

But one East Yorkshire woman thinks she has found the answer!

It's called Beverley Rocks, the idea being you paint a rock and hide it somewhere, then take a photo of it, post it on social media and challenge a friend to find it.

Sally Beaton-McIntosh came up with the idea....

An East Yorkshire man who got to the top of one the UK's highest mountains, despite having Motor Neurone Disease, will present a cheque to the charity he raised money for.

Jason Liversidge, from Rise in East Yorkshire, completed the eight-hour journey up Snowdon in his motorised wheel chair last month.

He's raised more than £7,500 for the Dove House hospice in Hull.

Humberside Police have been raiding properties in Hull to carry out drug offence warrants.

It followed complaints about class A illegal drug use and suspected drug dealing.

I joined the police on the raids earlier:

Former drug addicts are speaking out to warn current users of the risks after a rise in the number of drug-related deaths.

The latest figures show a rise in deaths across Hull and the north of Lincolnshire from 63 in 2015 to 82 in 2016.

Heroin antidotes are being used to try and stop some fatalities but some new substances are just too strong.

Former Labour MP Kevin McNamara, who served his constituency in Hull for nearly 40 years, has died aged 82.

The former shadow secretary of state for Northern Ireland was diagnosed with inoperable pancreatic cancer after falling ill while on holiday in Spain.

Mr McNamara, who represented Hull North from 1966 to 2005, had no previous symptoms and died at his home in Formby, Merseyside, his family said.

Tributes have been paid tribute to the "widely respected" politician.
