Each Christmas Abbeydale Park Rise in the Totley area of Sheffield decorate the trees in the street with lights to celebrate the festive period.

Here's a video from December 2016 of what the street looks like when lit up:

Well, I'm on the road again today as people gather to protest against those trees being felled.

Some of those taking part have been handed "legal documents" and had their photographs taken.

Sheffield City Council has already sent letters to 17 tree protesters warning them of possible legal action if they protest again the felling scheme.

The world' first smartphone went on sale 10-years-ago today, when Apple changed the mobile phone market forever.

No longer was it just about making calls and sending texts, the smartphone meant we could browse the internet or keep up to date with breaking news - you may very well be reading this on one now.

We've been asking people in Harrogate whether the smart phone has changed their lives for the better or the worse:

Doncaster Heritage Services, who run Cusworth Hall and the town's Museum and Art Gallery on Chequer Road, have received a grant to help connect visitors with its collection of mining heritage.

The two-year project will work with participants in the ex-mining communities of Denaby Main, Hatfield, Stainforth and Woodlands to tell the story of the sinking of the deep pits in the area from the early 20th century to the present day.

The project will see older and younger participants work together to curate exhibitions which will be displayed at Cusworth Hall and in various locations across the borough.

The UK's tallest mural has officially been completed in Leeds.

It's been painted on the side of the re-vamped Platform building in the city, which stands above the train station.

It's not been an easy task for the artists, they've had to go through specialist training to enable them to work at a knee trembling 137ft.

They also had to use a special metre-wide cradle to paint the huge mural and employed a grid system to make sure they painted the right part of the wall.

At 137ft (41.9m) tall, it's the biggest bit of street art in the country.

Climate change scientists from the University of Leeds and Aberystwyth University have become the first to successfully drill through the world's highest glacier.

The group used a drill adapted from a car wash to cut into the Khumbu glacier in the foothills of Everest.

Working at an altitude of roughly 5,000m (16400ft), they spent three days drilling 150m (492ft) into the glacier.

Its internal structure was then recorded using a 360-degree camera.

The 10.5 mile (17km) long glacier flows from as high as 7,600m (25,000ft) down to 4,900m (16,000ft) and is often used by climbers on their way to Everest base-camp.

The six week expedition was a part of the Everdrill project, which is collecting data to understand how the glacier moves and changes over time, and how it might respond to anticipated climate change.

Leeds has been named as the most inspirational city in the country in a survey.

The results claimed people in Leeds are three times more likely to feel inspired when out and about than at work.

The survey also says one in ten people in the city do most of their inspirational thinking in the bath or shower.

These people in Leeds say there's a lot to be proud of:

There were 33 incidents in the area last year putting the county joint-top in the regional standings with Greater Manchester.

There were only five areas in the whole of England and Wales where more animals were trapped by netting.

The RSPCA says these cases are often fatal and that football and tennis nets tend to be the main culprits.

Yorkshire's been named as the location for one of the most prestigious events on the road cycling calendar.
