Lady Lumley's School in Pickering, told pupils it plans to ban all Christmas activities.

Students were told they must write to modern day Mrs Grinch, RE teacher Chris Paul, to argue their case for the baubles to be put back on the tree.

"No cards, no parties, no gifts and no Christmas tree", Mrs Paul told pupils.

The teacher challenged pupils to consider the true meaning of Christmas and come up with answers to persuade her to change her mind.

Students had until today to state their case, "and then, just maybe, if the arguments are good enough, we might see fairy lights in Lady Lumley's once more", Mrs Paul added.

BBC Radio Sheffield found that in September the council spent more than £400,000 on legal proceedings against campaigners who staged a series of protests against the tree-felling.

Sheffield council's record on reducing pollution was raised in the Commons by the Labour MP for Sheffield Central, Paul Blomfield.

Environment Minister Therese Coffey said the council could start spending money elsewhere by stopping the cutting down of trees.

The protests stem from a dispute surrounding the 25-year, £2.2bn Streets Ahead contract between Sheffield City Council and Amey has seen about 5,500 trees cut down since 2012.

The authority, that is planting new trees after removing existing ones, insists trees earmarked for felling were diseased, dying, dangerous or damaging.

An attempt to rescue a World War One trawler rusting in the South Atlantic and bring it back home to Hull is to be made, using the power of gin.

A gin is being made called the Viola, after the boat which was built in Beverley in 1906 and is currently stranded 7,750 miles away on the island of South Georgia.

For each bottle sold, a donation will go towards a campaign to raise £3.5m to bring the vessel back to Hull, where it set sail for war in 1914.

That's a lot of gin...
