Organisers of the Great Yorkshire Show say it's been a big success, with more than 133,000 coming to the event over the three days, including a record second day, which saw more than 20,000 cars fill the car parks.

And speaking of scaling new heights, how about this for climbing to the top quick style?

Dan, the national pole climbing champion, was at the show exhibiting his rapid ascent skills:

New technology's being installed at some level crossings in North Yorkshire to stop people being distracted by their phone while using them.

Network Rail says there have been 2,000 near misses at level crossings in the last five years - and a common cause is people distracted because they're using their mobile.

The company's earmarked some crossings as high risk. They include Crossgates near Scarborough, Filey, Malton, Haxby and Strensall.

Network Rail's going to install geo-fencing, which creates a virtual boundary, triggering an alert when a mobile device enters the area, suggesting people put their phones away.

A new scheme launches today in Barnsley designed to get children on bikes.

The council has taken old bikes, repaired them and put them in Elsecar Park for families to rent out.

There are 22 schools on the Priority Building Programme in Yorkshire and 277 across England which will be rebuilt or refurbished.

The army's donated some cute new recruits to South Yorkshire Police.

Five new Belgian Malinois puppies have been donated to the dog training school in Hillsborough, to be trained as general purpose police dogs.

I refuse to use the line, "this might give criminals 'paws' for thought."

Good, I'm glad I resisted that. Now have a look at these police pooches:

Scientists say they're baffled by a dramatic change in the number of seabirds making their home on the Yorkshire coast.

Over 400-thousand birds including gannets, puffins and razorbills, now live on a 17-mile stretch of coastline around Filey and Flamborough.

The biggest increase has been seen among the Gannet population. Since 2000, the number of gannet pairs on the cliffs has shot up from 2,550 to 13,400.

RSPB scientists are trying to fathom exactly what has created such a huge population increase in a short space of time.

They say the success of a colony is the ability to raise chicks with steady supplies of food, and note that almost all gannet chicks survive, whereas the chicks of sea birds on other sites often perish.

One of the county's most popular attractions is celebrating a milestone birthday today.

Nineteen-year-old Jagdip Randhawa died after he was punched by professional boxer Clifton Ty Mitchell during a night out in 2011.

Mitchell is from Derbyshire - and at the time it happened was on bail, but had breached his conditions several times.

Now an investigation has found Derbyshire Constabulary's hadn't done enough.

The Independent Police Complaints Commission said their procedures were "so flawed" that "obvious opportunities" were missed.

A report,which goes to the council next week, shows plans to halve the number of beds originally proposed and cut 500 jobs.

The group called "Lets Save HRI" released a statement last night, saying they're "utterly dismayed" to hear the building proposed as a replacement hospital to the HRI is "effectively a community hospital," with just 64 beds - half the number of beds indicated during the consultation period.

In the documents, Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust reveals it plans to shed 479 staff over the next 10 years.

Under the proposals all emergency, acute and high-risk planned care would be brought together at Calderdale Royal Hospital in neighbouring Halifax.
