The recalculation of demands on policing pension funds nationally will create a dilemma for all forces.

In South Yorkshire, it could mean additional costs of £11m a year if the government insists expenses should be met locally and not from national funds.

Dr Alan Billings, the county's Police and Crime Commissioner, warned: "The likely impact is very significant and it is one more blow in trying to balance the books for the coming financial year."

Hundreds of artifacts excavated from the site of the former Sheffield Castle have gone on show in the city.

Clay pipes, pieces of pottery and an ear picker (below) are among the finds which were found in the remains of the 11th Century site.

The dig, said to be the first comprehensive survey of the city's Castlegate site, is part of a £786,000 council scheme to revamp the area.

Mary Queen of Scots was imprisoned at Sheffield Castle and nearby Manor Lodge for 14 years in the 1500s under the care of the Earl of Shrewsbury.

Volunteers have helped with the dig with medieval walls being uncovered early on in the nine-week project.

The castle was destroyed in 1648 and its remains were covered by Castle Market in the 1960s, with the only visible parts locked away in basements.

Research carried out in York has found that people can remember on average...wait for it...about 5,000 faces!

A team from the University of York asked people how many faces they remembered from their personal lives and the media, as well as the number of famous faces they recognised.

They say humans have typically lived in small groups of about 100 individuals, but their study suggests facial recognition abilities enable us to deal with thousands of faces on our screens as well as in the real world.

Doctor Rob Jenkins, from the University of York, said: "Our study focused on the number of faces people actually know – we haven't yet found a limit on how many faces the brain can handle.

For the study, participants spent an hour writing down as many faces from their lives as possible, including people they went to school with, colleagues and family. They did the same for famous faces, such as actors, politicians, and other public figures.

"It would be interesting to see whether there's a peak age for the number of faces we know”, Doctor Jenkins added.

"Perhaps we accumulate faces throughout our lifetimes, or perhaps we start to forget some after we reach a certain age."

A plan is being drawn-up to tackle what's known as "period poverty" in Bradford.
