The artists behind it say that when it's finished it'll tower at 137ft (41.9m) tall and will be the biggest bit of street art in the country.

Work began this morning and it'll be painted on the recently refurbished Platform building, which stands above the train station.

Obviously you'll have read this wondering "I can't imagine what 137ft really looks like, I wonder how tall that is in double decker buses?". The answer is 10.

Verbal fisticuffs were traded, there was the odd raised voice and a couple of campaign catchphrases but no single politician scored that knockout blow at the BBC Radio Leeds general election debate.

Candidates from the Conservatives, Labour, the Liberal Democrats, Greens and UKIP covered issues including security, Brexit, social care and education.

Security featured heavily, given the recent terrorist attacks in Manchester and London. One of the panellists proposes bringing back the death penalty for people convicted of terrorist offences.

Brexit was the next most popular subject, with deep divisions on the panel over how it should be handled. Two of the candidates back a second referendum, on the terms of any Brexit deal.

The debate was recorded last night and will be broadcast at 14:00, you can also listen again.

Pontecfract bus station is closed this afternoon.

The story of how a Yorkshire wildlife artist filmed inside a Kingfisher’s nest will be told on BBC Springwatch tonight.

Robert E Fuller, of Thixendale, spends months watching and photographing animals and birds in the wild in order to paint them accurately.

He believes he's gathered some of the world’s best quality colour footage of Kingfishers as part of his research for a painting.

Robert built an artificial mud bank, which he made to look as authentic as possible by sticking sand, soil, peat and tree roots onto his hide.

He also made a bespoke nesting chamber inside the hide, and rigged this with surveillance cameras lit by tiny LED lights.

The artist then followed the courtship process of the kingfishers from his hide and was able to watch via TV monitors linked to the cameras hidden inside the nest as seven eggs were laid.

Robert will be taking his pet weasel, Fidget, an animal he adopted after it was found stranded in York, onto the TV set with him.
