One year on from the beginning of the first coronavirus lockdown, key workers in Yorkshire have been talking about a year they could never have imagined.

Takeaway driver Dee Uddin, from Sheffield, has worked throughout the crisis for a number of different companies delivering meals, food, medicines and groceries to people. He said the work had changed over the last year.

"You can't go home as often as you would, during the quiet period, just in case you've caught the virus."

Instead he works right through the day and goes home to shower at the end of a shift.

"I will drop the kids off in the morning and won't see them till last thing at night. It's been hard, the little sacrifices you have to make."

Many major firms have increased the number of people driving for them to meet demand and that has also had an impact.

"The pay has gone down, there's a load more drivers and what we were earning a couple of years ago, I don't think we are earning half that now," he said.

Despite the problems, Mr Uddin said he was proud of what he has been doing.

"I am doing something for our country, they needed us we stepped up. Survival of other people is more important to us than thinking about ourselves."

Events are being held across Yorkshire and Lincolnshire to mark an anniversary no-one wants to celebrate.

It's exactly one year since the beginning of the first national coronavirus lockdown.

On 23 March 2020, Prime Minister Boris Johnson outlined measures to stop the spread of the virus. Since then, the UK's official death toll, external has risen from 364 to 126,172.

Since the start of the pandemic more than 10,000 people in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire have died with Covid-19.

Today the trust which runs hospitals in Lincolnshire has organised a virtual church service to mark a year since the hospitals' first coronavirus patients were admitted, and will remember patients and staff who've lost their lives.

It's teamed up with St Wulfram’s Church in Grantham to stream the service online tonight.

Lincoln Cathedral will be lit yellow to mark the anniversary, as will some West Yorkshire buildings, including the Civic Hall and Town Hall in Leeds and Bradford City Hall.

Meanwhile, York Minster and Ripon Cathedral are opening their doors. Ripon Cathedral will be open from 10:00 and York Minster from 11:30, to allow visitors to say a prayer and light a candle in memory of loved ones.

At midday today Yorkshire will join the rest of the UK in a minute's silence as part of a national day of reflection.

People are also being encouraged to stand on their doorsteps at 20:00 with phones, candles and torches to signify a "beacon of remembrance".

Two South Yorkshire teenagers who went viral for their good deeds at the start of the coronavirus pandemic are reflecting on how they feel a year on from the first national lockdown.

Sam Hornsby and Matty Merry, both 18 from Harlington, delivered care packages to vulnerable people in their community when panic-buying was widespread across the country.

A BBC video which highlighted their good deeds was seen by millions of people.

Mr Merry said: "We didn't have any intention of going viral or anything like that, we were just doing it out of the kindness of our hearts."

The ambitious plan for the high speed rail link to replace the city's rail Interchange could be ready by 2030, Susan Hinchcliffe said.

Ms Hinchcliffe said a new rail link would connect Bradford to cities in the north and south of the country.

She said it was "the right vision for this new era of new Britain".

Bradford council said the city's case for a new station and inclusion in a Northern Powerhouse rail link would add millions to the economy and create 27,000 extra jobs.

The cost of the new station was estimated to be around £500m by the council.

Ms Hinchcliffe said Bradford was one of the fastest-growing, youngest and most diverse cities in the country.

The council leader added: "Our vision for Bradford is bold. A new rail station built in a decade with an extended city centre that will help us become better-connected and more prosperous."

A woman in her 20s has been sexually assaulted in countryside near Leeds, police say.

The victim was walking on Cliffe Drive in Rawdon, between Woodlands Drive and Rawdon Hall Drive, at about 19:00 on Sunday when she was grabbed by a man and the assault took place.

The woman's attacker was disturbed when her phone rang and he ran off down Cliffe Drive.

The woman ran back the way she had come across Rawdon golf course and called a friend. She returned home and contacted police.

The man is described as being in his 20s to 40s, wearing all black clothing, with the bottom of his face covered with a mask or snood.

Det Insp Amanda Wimbles said: "We are treating this incident very seriously and are carrying out extensive inquiries to identify the man responsible for this attack.

"The victim has been left distressed and we have specially-trained officers supporting her.

"This is an area of countryside that is popular for walks and we would like to hear from anyone who was in the area around sunset when the incident occurred and saw anything that could assist the investigation."

Patrols are being increased in the area to help reassure local residents, Det Insp Wimbles added.
