The 26-year-old from Leeds had left them in her car while filming in London earlier this month when they were stolen.

Ms Cox claimed gold in the T37 women's 100m and T35-38 4x100m relay at the 2015 World Championships in Doha.

Earlier she tweeted: "Thank you so much to every single person that shared and retweeted my post...My medals got handed in to the police this morning #happykad".

When the fan tweeted that he was "retiring his faded and cracked mug", the German club took action.

It happened last Friday night in the town centre when a man in his 20s was walking near the bus station.

The three suspects demanded he hand over his phone and wallet. He refused and they assaulted him, leaving him with facial injuries which needed stitches.

The men, who are described as black and aged between 25 and 30-years-old, ran off with his wallet containing cash:

If you wander around York and look upwards you might see some black cats which decorate several of the city's buildings - although you may need a helicopter to see those on rooftops.

Some of the cats go back to the 19th century, but many were installed by late architect Tom Adams who used to add one to each building he worked on.

Now, they're going to be added to a new digital archive of every piece of public sculpture in Britain.

Next time you're in the city, check out one on a building on The Mount, Gillygate, and Ouse Bridge.

Tom Adams was a real character. I wonder what he'd say about his work being digitally archived?

Multi-million pound improvements to public transport in Leeds are expected to get the green light later.

Under Leeds City Council's plans, most buses would run every 10 minutes, and three new railway stations would be built - including one near Leeds Bradford Airport.

If approved, the next step will be working out more detailed plans.

Ray Wilkes, from West Yorkshire Campaign for Better Transport, says taking more cars off the city's roads is essential:

More street lights look like being turned off in Leeds in a bid to save the council money.

Councillors are being asked to approve a scheme to turn off an extra 1,800 between midnight and 05:30.

But a report also suggests that even bigger savings could be made if 25% of all street lights in the Leeds district went off during the early hours.

Councillors are expected to reach a decision this afternoon.

The force warns that while the vast majority of children surf the web without incident, they are still at risk.

Det Insp Steve Leach, head of cyber crime at South Yorkshire Police, says: "Getting to know what youngsters are viewing, restricting what they can access and just having a quick chat about what they're doing and what sites they’re visiting can be enough to prevent your child from becoming a victim."

Today is the summer solstice, so remember to enjoy the longest day of the year - despite the forecast of thunder and lightning later.

The days all get shorter from now on...right until the winter solstice on 21 December.

Traditionally people gather at Stonehenge to celebrate the summer solstice, with about 13,000 people turning up this year.

Meanwhile, in Yorkshire people gathered at dawn for an early morning dip at Ilkley Lido:

Did you know?

• While it is the day that has the most sunlight, Britain's weather typically does not become hotter until later in the summer
• Around the time of the summer solstice areas of Norway, Finland, Greenland, Alaska and other polar regions experience "midnight sun"
• In the Arctic Circle, the sun does not set at all. This is down to a latitude 23 degrees from the pole, matching the angle of Earth's tilt
• While 21 June is the summer solstice in Britain, for Australia and countries in the southern hemisphere this date marks the winter solstice
• The summer solstice falls today this year, but the exact time changes each year, however it always falls on June 20 in a leap year

Plans to convert a bridleway near Scarborough will attract speeding road bikes and put the path's other users at risk, according to local residents who oppose the proposals.

Sustainable transport charity Sustrans wants to take over the cinder track between Scarborough and Whitby in a bid to make it more cycle-friendly.

But Heather Dale, who lives in Robin Hood's Bay, says she and other local residents fear it will cause problems for walkers and cyclists.

"The proposals by Sustrans are to put a hard sealed surface down and to widen it. Where they've done that elsewhere, it's become attractive to road bikes which travel at speed," she says.

"Instead of making it more accessible to different groups, the safety issues for other users will be significant."

Responding, Sustrans spokesperson Rosslyn Colderley has said cyclists are "absolutely discouraged" from going too fast on all their paths and that the path should be "shared with care".
