"Staff and people that come to visit the home, everyone is commenting on it.

"All the residents that have contributed they've just thought it has been absolutely hilarious. They've never seen anything like it."

Leeds United and England star Patrick Bamford has officially opened a new cycle route in the city.

The player, who is a big supporter of tackling climate change, cut the ribbon on the Elland Road cycle route, with help from pupils from Saint Luke's CofE Primary School in Beeston.

The route connects the park and ride site beside Leeds United's ground, to the city centre. The stretch, which is just under a mile in length, is part of Leeds's move towards becoming more pedestrian and cycle friendly.

Bamford told BBC Radio Leeds: "I think over the last three or four years I've started being more involved and more aware of the environment and climate change.

"I think these little changes are what end up making a big difference and you have to start somewhere."

He added: "While getting people to cycle instead of driving their cars isn't all of a sudden going to save the world, it's one step at a time, and I think it's a really big thing."

As Freshers' Week gets under way, Prof Peter Slee says he is "delighted" to be welcoming students back to campus, without most of the restrictions that dominated last year.

Prof Slee told BBC Radio Leeds: "The difficulties that students have faced have been mirrored across all parts of society - lockdown was very different for everyone.

"It's not just about being able to go out - its about social learning and being together in the same place."

Emily, a second year student in Leeds, said she was looking forward to celebrating Freshers' Week, as she did not get the chance to last year.

Sshe added: "It wasn't the same experience compared to other years. We went with high expectations, but you could only go to the pub, you couldn't go clubbing."

Despite the lifting of restrictions, some teaching will still not take place face-to-face and students are being urged to take precautions, such as wearing masks and using hand sanitiser.
