The number of fast food outlets being opened in Yorkshire is higher than anywhere else in the country.

New BBC research shows the number of takeaways has risen by almost 70% over the last eight years, with about 4,000 now open in the region.

Public Health England's chief nutritionist, Dr Alison Tedstone, said it was working with the food and drink industry to make everyday products healthier.

The Local Government Association, which represents councils, said local authorities needed "more planning powers" to help tackle the "clustering of existing takeaways already open."

According to tourism organisation Make It York, almost seven million people visit the city each year with tourism believed to contribute in excess of £564m to the local economy.

Noone was injured in the incident which saw a bus crash into an optician's in the centre of Shipley at about midday.

Retired lorry driver Colin Glover and his wife were standing nearby when the crash happened.

Mr Glover said: "We heard two loud bangs and then saw a load of what looked like smoke or dust and people running away. I thought at first it was a bomb.

"I ran straight to the bus and lifted the flap to turn the engine off. There were lots of people trying to help get people off the bus, but I don't know how many there were on board.

"It was quite a panic. People were wondering what had happened. It was a big surprise and a shock. You do not expect to see a bus sticking halfway in to a shop window."

The cause of the crash is as yet unknown and investigations are continuing.

The badly damaged piece of history is being restored at the University of York.

The register has made the journey from the church of St John Figtree on the Caribbean island of Nevis, the parish where Nelson married Fanny Nisbet on 11 March 1787.

The Borthwick Institute at the university was chosen to restore the register because of its wealth of experience in conserving church documents, including registers up to 800 years old.

Chris Webb (pictured), Keeper of Archives at the Borthwick Institute, said: "We are honoured to have the opportunity to preserve this historic document which marks an important moment in Lord Nelson's life."
