A woman from Sheffield is thought to own Britain's oldest artificial Christmas tree.

Elizabeth Naylor bought the two-footer at Woolworths for two shillings, 98 years ago.

She called it William's tree after her son, who died in 1940.

Her granddaughter, Kay Ashton, inherited the tree in 2012 and admits it's seen better days having been bombed during the Blitz.

Kay says: "It's absolutely underwhelming, but it's a window to my childhood":

North Yorkshire Police are trying to identify the man shown in the photograph, taken in Market Cross Jewellers, at about 13:50 on 17 November.

Four new police officers have started working in the Holbeck "managed approach" area to help improve safety.

A photo tribute to Hull's Headscarf Revolutionaries has gone on display in parliament as part of an exhibition celebrating female MPs.

One of the photographs on display shows Diana Johnson in front of the huge artwork on Anlaby Road, honouring a woman who fought to changed the fishing industry in the 1960s.

She chose to pose in front of a mural in honour of Lillian Bilocca, who led a campaign to improve safety conditions on board North Sea trawlers.

The Labour MP for Hull North said she "wanted to make sure that the other strong women of Hull were recognised" when she had her photo taken for the 209 women project:

The 209 Women exhibition, which features portraits of women MPs taken by women photographers, is on display Portcullis House, and can be viewed by the public from tomorrow.

Looks like Ed Miliband has been getting politically festive and send out Christmas cards, according to one person on Twitter.

The official Twitter account of Labour's Whips' Office Tweeted the snap of the Doncaster North MP's card.

Using a phrase from David Cameron ahead of the 2015 election, Mr Miliband poked fun at the former Prime Minister.

The Grade II-listed cinema has lain unused since it was bombed in March 1941 and reduced to ruins.

Drivers in Leeds are being invited to try on beer goggles to see the effect alcohol can have on vision.

Here's someone testing their driving skills while wearing them:

Police say more than 100 drivers have been stopped in the city for either drink or drug-driving in under a fortnight.

Today a Leeds City Council roadshow is using beer goggles that people can try on to highlight the dangers of being intoxicated while behind the wheel.

The goggles have distorted lenses to show the wearer what can happen to their vision if they've had a drink and then drive.

West Yorkshire Police say: "Between 2013 and 2016 drink and drive collisions in Leeds increased from 32 to 49; of which the casualty rate increased from 57 to 77."

Police Sergeant Gary Roper, from the Roads Policing Unit said: “No one wants an officer on their doorstep telling them their loved one is never coming home, especially not due to a drink or drug driver."

The drink-drive awareness event began earlier and goes on until 14:30 at Lands Lane in the city centre.

The judge said the defendant's text messages recorded his activities in "explicit detail".

A magnificent stained glass window at Beverley Minster has had high-tech sensors attached to it as part of a £1m preservation project.

Technology known as data loggers will analyse the west window, which is deteriorating due to the effects of wind, rain and condensation.

It will measure how the 19th Century glass responds to changing weather conditions, sending real time information to experts at York Glaziers Trust.

They will eventually carry out extensive repairs to the historic window when money becomes available for the work.

Steve Rial, glazier at Beverley Minster, said: "We need to get this work done because of future generations, we need to look after buildings like this - they're our history, our heritage."

A road sign written in the Hull dialect has been seen at the side of a busy road in the city.

The sign says "err nerr, rerd werks" - or "oh no, road works" for those not familiar with the accent.

It's appeared at the side of Stoneferry Road, advising motorists of the closure of the Clough Road roundabout for resurfacing work.

MB Roche civil engineering are behind the sign, which has been shared on social media today.

Director Daniel Roche said: "It was basically to make everybody smile at this time of year - nobody likes roadworks and if it has put a smile on people's faces then it was worth doing."

The sign has been put out in addition to a more conventional notice advising that the roundabout will be closed for two nights for resurfacing work.

From tonight, there will be diversions in place between 1900 and 0700.

An attack on two Leeds hospital patients by a third man was "probably preventable", a report says.

It was bombed in the Blitz and has been passed down through three generations - but the current owner says it's "underwhelming".

Police are appealing for witnesses to come forward and want to see any CCTV or dashcam footage.

A judge said Iain Cocks' behaviour was a "persistent and grave breach of trust".
