Staff at Naburn Church of England Primary didn't know what Miss Brett was bleating on about until North Yorkshire Police arrived at the scene.

The school later posted a photograph on Twitter of the sheep looking "very happy"...the "shear" cheek of it:

No fire was lit and Humberside Police are treating the incident, on Endike Lane, as attempted arson with intent to endanger life.

Residents of an East Yorkshire village have said they've been left saddened by a light aircraft crash which killed a pilot and passenger.

People living in and around Leven took part in attempts to locate the pair after the plane crashed near Beverley Airfield last night.

The plane was flying south from the Scottish Borders when it crashed at about 19:30 on Wednesday.

One unnamed local man has told the BBC: "It's something we don't have down here. The airfield's been there for a long while and I don't think we've had any fatalities. It's a sad job."

The teenager was found with a stab wound in Lovell Park, on North Street, with an ambulance and police officers called to the scene.

He was taken to hospital for emergency treatment, with police cordoning off the scene and launching an investigation.

West Yorkshire Police are appealing for witnesses, or anyone with information about what happened, to come forward.

A light aircraft which crashed in East Yorkshire killing the pilot and passenger was flying south from the Scottish Borders, police have revealed.

The plane was approaching the landing strip at Beverley Airfield when it crashed near the village of Leven last night, the force says.

Humberside Police first received a report of the crash at about 19:30, and a search was launched to find the plane, with members of the public offering to help as well.

The force says it was told that the passenger and pilot were safe, however this information turned out to be incorrect.

Both were both found to have fatal injuries after the light aircraft was located in the corner of a field some distance away from the road.

An investigation has now been launched with Air Accidents Investigation Branch inspectors currently on the scene, according to Humberside Police.

A judge says Samuel Baker's death was "senseless" and "represents a story that is too often repeated".

Train journeys between Hull and Manchester are to become faster after two West Yorkshire stops were cut from the route, according to TransPennine Express.

From December, the Hull to Manchester service will no longer stop at Batley and Slaithwaite, the train operator has confirmed.

This amends the new timetable which was introduced in May, with trains calling at extra stations and taking longer.

Following complaints from the Chamber of Commerce and local MPs, customers are now being promised a "more resilient and reliable service".

The boy, who was 15 at the time but is now 16, killed Samuel Baker in the Lowedges area of the city in May and pleaded guilty to his manslaughter last week.

The killing was one of a spate of knife-related deaths in Sheffield earlier this year.

The judge at Sheffield Crown Court, Mr Justice Nicklin, described Samuel's death as "another senseless death caused by knife crime".

He refused an application by the Sheffield Star to lift the defendant's anonymity.

A football fan on an 180-mile walk between non-league grounds to raise awareness about prostate cancer has reached York.

The discussion, at the Milton Rooms, is expected to cover a range of topics including if the government should have the final say on whether fracking can go ahead rather than local councils.

The proposed start of shale gas fracking at the nearby Kirby Misperton site is still delayed.

Third Energy was given approval in 2016 for the first fracking operation in the UK since 2011 but is yet to begin work.

The firm is still waiting for ministers to decide if test drilling can go ahead.

Scientists attach a radio transmitter to an Asian hornet to locate and destroy its nest.

It's unlikely the light aircraft which crashed in East Yorkshire last night killing two people will have a black box recorder, an aviation expert has said.

Both the plane's pilot and passenger suffered fatal injuries in the crash reported at about 19:30 on Wednesday.

Safety expert Julian Bray said investigators will appeal for photographs and videos to reconstruct the plane's final journey.

He said: "There is a move to get black box recorders into all forms of aircraft, but I don't think this one will have that at the moment."

The 26-year-old, from Pontefract, was charged with the offences on 26 September.

Prosecutors told Leeds Magistrates' Court earlier that he attempted to avoid police officers in Pontefract by taking his car down a cul-de-sac and running away on foot.

Hardaker, who is currently serving a 14-month ban from rugby for cocaine use, signed for Wigan Warriors in May.

The former Castleford Tigers player was thrown out of England's World Cup squad in 2013 for a breach of discipline.

In 2015, he agreed to pay £200 in compensation and write a letter of apology to a 22-year-old man under a "community resolution" after admitting assault.
