The 26-year-old, from Ripon, won silver in the event at Rio 2016 but was unable to go one better at the Aquatics Centre as Xie Siyi of China took gold.

Laugher was in the medal places throughout but his third and fourth dives came up short with the judges.

He finished with 518.00 points as Xie (558.75) and compatriot Wang Zongyuan (534.90) took the top two spots.

Gold medal-winning triathlete Jonny Brownlee says Tokyo was "probably" his last Olympics but he's not ruling out trying to qualify for Paris in 2024.

Jonny, from Leeds, was part of the British team that won the first ever mixed relay at the weekend. It was his first gold medal, having previously won silver and bronze.

Back home in the UK he told the BBC: "It doesn't really feel real at the moment. I've achieved more than anything I ever dreamed of achieving in the Olympic Games, so to complete the set is seriously special."

His brother Alistair has won gold medals at two previous Olympics, but didn't compete this year.

"I think I'm ahead of Alistair already," said Jonny. "Well, I tell him that. But I think if I got another gold, I'd definitely be ahead of Alistair, and there'd be no doubt of that."

However, he said is immediate plan is to enjoy being an Olympic champion: "One of the things I've not done great in my career is, after achieving something, I've moved onto the next goal very quickly. So I'm going to have an easy week now, and take it all in, and see."

And what about the next Olympics, in 2024? Jonny thinks there's still a chance: "After crossing the finish line in the relay, I thought, 'right, maybe I can do it'.

"So I've changed my answer from 'it'll definitely be my last Olympics' to 'it'll probably be my last Olympics'."

The future of a major steampunk festival has been secured after a deal to keep it in Lincoln for the next five years was agreed.

The Asylum festival - held annually in August - attracts up to 100,000 people each year and is believed to be worth about £2.5m to the local economy.

Plans had been drawn up to hold a smaller event in Newark this year due to Covid concerns, but were scrapped after the host venue closed.

The festival will now return in 2022.

Organiser John Naylor said: "Lincoln has provided a spectacular backdrop for the steampunk community's creativity since 2009, so we are delighted to be able to return.

"Covid looked like putting the kybosh on absolutely everything - so to be able to come out the other side, with a plan to build and be more spectacular is just phenomenal," he said.

He added: "What I'm really hoping for is Lincoln will end up with a festival as big and world-famous as the Edinburgh Fringe."

The parents of Olympic gold medal-winning triathlete Jess Learmonth have described the "torture" of watching their daughter lead off the British team in the inaugural mixed relay.

Learmonth (above left) combined with Jonny Brownlee, Georgia Taylor-Brown and Alex Yee to win gold.

Her parents Andrew and Beverley said they watched the race alone at home in Boroughbridge in the early hours of Saturday.

Mr Learmonth said: "She will openly admit she's not a big lover of the relay because you're in a team and you don't want to let anyone down," he said.

"Jessica's never under pressure when she races on her own. She's really calm. But in a relay you've got in the back of your mind you've got to perform for other people, not just yourself."

Learmonth is expected to arrive back in the UK later today and her family are planning a celebration for the weekend, though her father said she may need reminding to bring the medal.

"She'll probably just show up in a t-shirt saying 'I'm just going to my mum and dad's for something eat'," he said

"She'll have to be reminded that people will want to see the medal and track suit and everything."

Former Royal Military Police Darron Coster, 54, from Clayton-le-Moors, in Lancashire, died when his red Ducati collided with a Vauxhall Corsa in Jack Lane, Wigglesworth, on 14 July.

In a statement his family said he was a "devoted husband and father" and "a proud Army veteran", adding that seven years ago he had donated one of his kidneys to his brother in order to save his life.

His family said: “More recently, he was one of the few people at the Manchester Arena who went into the building after the bombing. He helped as many people as he could while waiting for the emergency services to arrive.

“Darron made friends wherever he went and was always helping others. He has been described as a "hero" for what he has done. To us, he was our world and we are devastated by his death.”

Mr Coster was waiting to pick up his son when the explosion happened at the Manchester Arena on 22 May 2017. The attack killed 22 people and injured hundreds more.

Following his death chairman of the Manchester Arena Inquiry Sir John Saunders said Mr Coster's heroics from that night would "live on".

The charity says last month was its busiest on record, with its highest ever referral rate since it was set up in 2017.

Leeds Baby Bank works with the NHS, Leeds City Council and other groups to provide support to those who can't afford to buy items such as nappies, formula and buggies.

Chantal Nogbou, from the charity, said: "People who wouldn't have necessarily needed our help 18 months ago are now coming to us for support. Some of these people may have been furloughed or lost their jobs during their pandemic.
