Two cherry trees have been felled and will be replaced at a memorial garden on Heathfield Road according to the council, along with a further tree which will also be planted there.

The council says it consulted residents and the Royal British Legion about its plans and says across the city there are 41 such trees which need to go, and there'll be a re-dedication to those who lost their lives in wartime once the trees are replaced.

There's anger at the felling of two memorial trees in the Frechville area of Sheffield.

Residents say they were promised there'd be consultation before any of the trees were felled.

The world's fastest animal, the peregrine falcon is going to be able to be seen up close in the Yorkshire Dales.

A free public viewpoint is opening at the bottom of Malham Cove, North Yorkshire.

It marks the start of the 16th year of the Malham Peregrine Project run in partnership by Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority and the RSPB.

RSPB area manager Anthony Hills said: “The viewpoint gives visitors an opportunity to see the fastest animal on the planet up close.

"Project staff and volunteers will be on hand with telescopes, so we are hoping lots of people will come to see these impressive birds."

Peregrine falcons first nested at Malham Cove in 1993.

The limestone rock formation provides a good nesting environment for the birds, allowing them to keep their eggs safe while hunting .

Climbing restrictions have been put in place for the nesting season with a small area on top of Malham Cove fenced off especially.

The viewpoint opens this Thursday.

A pub's plans to turn part of a Sheffield park into a beer garden have prompted 1,700 people to sign a petition opposing the idea.

True North, which runs the Waggon and Horses, wants to rent part of Millhouses Park to create a beer garden.

But the idea has prompted complaints from hundreds of park users.

The Friends of Millhouses Park presented the petition to a meeting of Sheffield council's cabinet.

The campaigners' efforts to garner opposition are being questioned by the company behind the beer garden plan.

Councillors say no formal planning application has been submitted and there would be full consultation.

It's been announced in the past few minutes that the York City Chairman, Jason McGill, is retiring from his role at the club.

It follows a meeting of the York City Supporters Trust last week.

Members voted no and the next day Mr McGill put his 75% shareholding in York City up for sale.

A statement on York City's website says "Jason McGill will have no further involvement in the running of it with immediate effect."

CEO, Jackie McNamara, is also leaving with immediate effect.

The club says a new board of directors has been established to run the football club, with the "pressing need to produce a break even position, whilst maintaining the aspiration of success."

Trevor Burlingham bet £500 his grandson, Lewis Cook, who was then 18 and breaking in to the first team at Leeds United, would go on to become an England international.

He went into a bookies in Tadcaster, in North Yorkshire, where he was given odds of 33/1 Cook would get his first cap before turning 26.

Four years on and it could be Trevor's lucky night if the former Tadcaster Grammar School pupil features in the international friendly at Wembley Stadium.

Cook, 22, was called up earlier this month by Gareth Southgate, but did not feature against the Netherlands last week.

The Bournemouth midfielder, who was born in York, is not expected to start against Italy, but could well feature as a substitute
