A road was closed for about eight hours after a man in his 20s was assaulted in a car.

The daily encounters of Yorkshire's emergency services often make eyebrow-raising reading.

This particular encounter most likely raised one or two on traffic cop Andrew Ingram's face:

Susan Atkinson (pictured), 64, was found dead with a head injury in the garden of her house in The Ryedales in October last year.

In March, Sherry Moore, 55, of The Ryedales, admitted manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility and has today been sentenced.

Police said Moore, who had suffered with mental health issues for a number of years and was being treated in the community, would no longer pose a danger to the public and will receive the care she needs.

After the case, Mrs Atkinson's family said they had been promised by the NHS that an internal investigation would be carried out to identify if anything could have been done differently.

In a statement, they said: “Susan was completely unaware of the danger lurking so close to her home when she was violently attacked and killed in her own back garden - a place where she should have been safe."

The victim, a 73-year-old man, was reversing his car off his driveway in Darfield when a man approached and made threats and demanded the driver get out of his car.

The idea, which is supported by the government, hasn't come to fruition because of a split among councils in the region.

But the Labour MP for Keighley, John Grogan (pictured), said it would help promote Yorkshire overseas.

"Will ministers say a word of praise to the work of the Yorkshire and Humber International Trade team based in Barnsley?", he asked in the Commons earlier.

"Would they not be more effective if they were accountable not to Whitehall, but to a directly-elected Yorkshire mayor?"

Responding, the International Trade Minister Graham Stuart - the MP for Beverley and Holderness - said he couldn't say whether it would happen.

Veterans have come together in Hull to remember all those involved in the Normandy landings on the 75th anniversary of D-Day.

Queensbury Tunnel runs 1.4 miles (2.3km) between Bradford and Halifax in West Yorkshire and has been partially flooded and collapsed.

West Yorkshire D-Day veteran Leslie Postill says he still has flashbacks from his experiences of the Normandy landings in 1944.

Able Seaman Mr Postill (pictured) was just 17-years-old when he signed up to the Royal Navy in 1941.

He was later awarded the Légion d'honneur for his bravery demonstrated at Sword Beach on 6 June 1944.

"I still have flashback seeing all the bodies," he said.

"We were picking people out of the water one day and I got hold of a chap's hand, and I said: 'I've got you lad, come on'.

"His hand just came away from mine and he just floated away.

"The funny part about it is you're not frightened when you're doing it, it's afterwards."

Diego Maradona is directed by Asif Kapadia, who won an Oscar for his documentary about Amy Winehouse and Bafta for his profile of Brazilian Formula One racing driver Ayrton Senna.

His latest film, which will be screened at Sheffield City Hall, has been created from interviews and 500 hours of footage from the World Cup winner's personal archive.

Mr Kapadia said the film took three years to make and will have its UK debut in Sheffield.

"Those with long (football related) memories will recall that Diego almost signed for Sheffield United in the late 70s.

"The deal fell through, so later Diego Maradona will finally make his long awaited debut in Sheffield."

The film, which will open Sheffield Doc/Fest later, is described as: "A wild and unforgettable story of a God-given talent, glory, despair and betrayal, of corruption and ultimately redemption."
