    The egg trail will run for two weeks ahead of Leeds Jurassic Trail 2, which takes place between 17 July and 5 September.

    Visitors will be able to download an app for their phones and when they scan an egg at one of the locations it will hatch on their screen.

    Each digital dinosaur that hatches from an egg will then be recreated as a life-size animatronic creature as part of the main event later in the summer.

    Martin Dickson, head of marketing for Leeds BID, said: “This is the first major event we’ve hosted in the city centre since lockdown.

    "It’s been genuinely exciting to see so many families already making that trip back to the city centre to do this together safely – and for free."

    The wooden, twin-track Grand National ride, built in 1935, broke down at midday on Tuesday.

    Staff at the Blackpool Pleasure Beach attraction had to climb up the ride, which stands 62ft (19m) high, to escort nervous thrill-seekers back to the ground.

    At about the same time, another rollercoaster at the same amusement park, the giant Big One, also suffered a temporary stoppage, but riders were able to remain seated and the ride continued five minutes later.

    Steve Ely, from Sheffield, South Yorkshire, on the Grand National ride with his two children, tweeted a photo of the ride stuck at the top of an incline on the roller-coaster.

    An eyewitness waiting to get on the ride said his children were "devastated" as the ride was stopped while the problem was dealt with.

    A spokesman for Blackpool Pleasure Beach said: "At 11:55 on Tuesday 1 June a stoppage occurred on the lift hill of the Grand National.

    "All riders were safely escorted down the lift hill, and the ride was checked and re-opened just before 13:00.

    "Shortly afterwards there was a very brief stoppage on the Big One lift hill, at 50ft, riders remained seated and the ride continued after five minutes."

    In April riders on the Big One had to be escorted down after the amusement attraction broke down.

    The ride reopened later that day.

    The roadworks to repair a burst water main on Summer Lane began in April, and were initially expected to last a few weeks.

    However, a culvert of the old Sough Dyke, which runs under the town centre was damaged during the works.

    Councillor Chris Lamb, cabinet spokesperson for environment and transportation at Barnsley council, said: “This watercourse is classified as a main river and is therefore under the administration of the Environment Agency.

    “As a result, the repair work now needs to be carried out by a specialist contractor and approved by the Environment Agency."

    Mr Lamb said the council "will be looking to expedite the repairs as swiftly as we can".

    Volunteers will be given a third shot of one of the seven vaccines ordered by the UK in order to gather data on side-effects and immune responses

    The findings will help vaccine advisers decide if re-vaccinating some people in the autumn is necessary.

    The Cov-Boost, will recruit 3,000 people of all ages who had their first dose in December or January, to test if this is worthwhile.

    The research is being led by University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust and Bradford is one of 18 locations where research is being carried out.

    Consultant respiratory physician Prof Dinesh Saralaya will be leading the booster trial in Bradford.

    He said: "Participants will be given a different vaccine to the one they have been given already, and by mixing them in this way, we will find out which combinations are the most effective to give us continued protection against this deadly virus.

    "As we know, vaccines are the only way of out this pandemic and research is vital in the hope of us getting back to normal.”
