Passengers on Leeds-based airline Jet2 say they're "refusing to fly" with the carrier because they're unhappy with the airline's music choices.

Frequent travellers with Jet2 will know the songs, as they're played before taking-off and after landing.

The song Hold my Hand is also used in the airline's TV adverts, but some people on social media think it's over-played.

Not everyone is against the music though, with one traveller on Twitter saying it gets her in the mood for her holidays.

A Jet2 spokesperson said: "Our Hold My Hand concept is very popular with customers, and we receive a huge amount of positive feedback about both the advert and the song."

More than 30,000 children in Yorkshire don't have a bed of their own, forcing many to share with siblings or sleep on the floor.

That's according to the charity Buttle UK, which has provided more than 13,500 beds to children in the UK in the past five years.

Sarah Khan, a single mum from Bradford in West Yorkshire, was given a bed by the charity for her four-year-old son Mikhail, after he'd been sleeping in her bed.

"He was keeping me up all night kicking, and I was surviving on just two hours' sleep, so obviously I was getting poorly myself," she said.

"In 2018 you shouldn't have to choose whether to feed your kid or wash their clothes, the reality is we're having to choose."

The charity has written to politicians in 10 areas of high deprivation asking them to help resolve the issue.

Work is under way to excavate a former World War One Prisoner of War camp in North Yorkshire.

A team of school students and archaeologists are digging trenches at the site in Skipton to reveal what conditions were like there 100 years ago.

Known locally as Raikeswood Camp, it became a prison for captured German officers late in the Great War.

When the prisoners returned home they published a book of diaries and sketches, some of which you can see pictured here.

In 2015, a copy of the book was found in Skipton library and translated by students at the University of Leeds.

Now, to mark its 100th anniversary, archaeologists are digging the site to find out more about the camp where German officers were incarcerated from early 1918 until late 1919.

They're hoping to find remains of the camp's huts and are also carrying out small-scale digs in residents' gardens.
