The cold case was solved thanks to advances in DNA profiling.

If you're out across South Yorkshire this weekend and see armed officers on patrol following Monday's attack in Manchester, then you're being actively encouraged by the force to approach them and say "hello".

These officers were photographed on patrol at the Meadowhall Shopping Centre in Sheffield earlier today:

The force is keen to stress that there is "no cause for concern" and they are present for "reassurance" only.

However, you are likely to see them in the centre of Sheffield, Doncaster, Rotherham and Barnsley, plus at South Yorkshire's railway stations and at Doncaster/Sheffield Airport.

The company is to create 50 new jobs at an existing site in Leeds.

A new public toilet block and cafe in York (pictured below) is among the winners of the regional architecture awards from the Royal Institute of British Architects.

Judges praised the way in which the creation of the new facilities on St Leonard's Place, "engaged with the historic city walls to minimize the impact and distraction towards the original monument."

North Yorkshire's other five winners (below) include from top left clockwise, the M&S foodhall in Northallerton, York's newly refurbished Theatre Royal, Cunelands House in Malton (a private dwelling) and Rievaulx Abbey's visitor centre.

I've been for a look around ahead of the Bank Holiday weekend:

Leeds United footballer Eunan O'Kane and his fiance Laura Lacole are taking a case to the High Court in Northern Ireland looking for legal recognition for a humanist wedding.

The couple are due to marry in Northern Ireland next month and are challenging the General Register Office for refusing to officially authorise the ceremony.

Their wedding is due to be conducted by a British Humanist Association celebrant.

Humanist marriages are currently legally recognised in Scotland and the Republic of Ireland.

The couple argue this case is all about their human rights and they hope they can change the law before their wedding next month.
