Michael Spink, 24, died when he was hit by a car in January 2017 after he had moved to live in the country.

Knaresborough Young Farmer's Tractor Run, involved about 300 tractors and took place earlier to raise funds for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance.

Organiser Steve Brown said many farmers worked in remote locations in Yorkshire.

There was no air ambulance where Mr Spink lived in New Zealand and the farmers wanted to support their local service.

The convoy left the town of Knaresborough on Sunday morning, travelling through villages along a 15-mile route to the showground at Pateley Bridge.

Officers said a grey Jaguar XF briefly stopped at the scene before leaving the area.

The car was later recovered a short distance away, but officers are still searching for the driver.

From free school meals to an infamous photographic hoax - six things Bradford gave the world.

The Hull family of a man who was among the passengers killed on board an Ethiopian Airlines plane, which crashed yesterday, have spoken of their shock.

Joseph Waithaka, 55, was returning to his home in Kenya after spending a month in East Yorkshire following a family celebration.

His son Ben Kuria said: "One of the things I really loved about him was just how generous he was.

"He was always someone who wanted to come alongside and support people, a generous man who wanted to help others and really support them to be the best they can be."

Joseph used to work for the Humberside Probation Trust, before returning to Kenya to live four years ago.

The jet crashed shortly after take-off from Addis Ababa, killing all on board.

The cause of the disaster isn't yet known.

It was the second crash in five months involving a 737 Max 8, and comparisons are being drawn with a Lion Air accident in Indonesia last October.

In response, China and Ethiopian Airlines have now grounded all planes of the same model.

Bradford has the youngest population in the UK and an economy worth around £10bn but is struggling to return to its heyday at the heart of the Victorian textiles industry.

Labour councillor Susan Hinchcliffe says national austerity means local authorities have been cut back tremendously over the last few years.

"We need investment from the government to unlock the private investment opportunities that are there but just need that fillip to get them over the line," she says.

Currently the number of people in the city claiming unemployment is going up, but she says the city has devised an economic strategy to help.

Kelsey Womersley, 19, was found unresponsive in a flat off Raikes Lane, Birstall, in the early hours of Friday.

Despite medical attention from paramedics she died at the scene.

Ms Womersley's family have warned the "Justice for Kelsey/Kelsey's Send Off" page is nothing to do with them and said no-one should donate any cash.

In a statement, West Yorkshire Police said: "The 'Justice for Kelsey/Kelsey's Send Off' page is not something they [Kelsey's family] were consulted about, and therefore do not support, at what continues to be a very difficult time for them.

"They do not require any fundraising in relation to Kelsey's death and are advising members of the public who might make donations that this is not something they need."

A 17-year-old girl, who was arrested on suspicion of murder, has been released pending further inquiries.

The number of fatal stabbings in England and Wales last year was the highest since records began.

The initiative includes officers talking to young people in schools and high visibility patrols.

There'll also be land searches in communities and opportunities to give up knives in knife bins.

Throughout the week of action, officers will also undertake test purchasing in local shops to test their compliance with regulations relating to the sale of knives to under 18s.

As part of the campaign people who have information about someone carrying a knife or about where knives are being sold illegally, are being asked to contact police.
