Letters written during World War Two and found hidden in an attic have been turned into a play.

Polly Pattison, from Hull, discovered the hoard of 90 letters in 2015. They were written by her mother and sent to her father, who was posted in North Africa during World War Two.

The 77-year-old has turned them into a show about life on the home front and is performing it at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

Polly says she had no idea how brave her mum had been until she found the letters:

A new hose which is 3mm wider than the hoses fire crews usually use is being trialled, with more than double the amount of water being used to extinguish blazes.

The normal hoses are 19mm wide and can deliver about 100 litres per minute, but the new hoses are able to deliver almost 230 litres of water.

An observation wheel at a seaside resort in Yorkshire could be spinning longer than expected.

The 104ft-high wheel has been operating on the site of the former Futurist theatre on Scarborough’s seafront since the end of July.

Scarborough Borough Council said the observation wheel would operate initially from 30 July to 26 August.

But the company which runs the wheel has applied to the council to keep it in the resort until November.

The wheel is temporarily in place on the seafront as the council examines its deal with Flamingo Land for the site.

Flamingo Land wants to build a £14m coastal attraction complete with rollercoaster and Cliffhanger tower where the theatre once stood.
