Sq Ldr George "Johnny" Johnson, is the last British survivor of the Dambusters raid which destroyed important German dams. He was a bomb-aimer during the daring operation.

He was made an MBE in 2017 after a long-running campaign which was supported by celebrities such as TV presenter Carol Vorderman.

Mr Johnson was 22 when he took part in the 1943 operation, which used experimental bouncing bombs carried by Lancaster bombers which flew from RAF Scampton in Lincolnshire.

The raid targeted dams in the Ruhr Valley in Germany's industrial heartland, releasing huge quantities of water and disrupting the German war effort.

Mr Johnson, said being a Dambuster was a "thrilling experience" and he felt "honoured to have had the chance to take part".

In 2019 Mr Johnson, who now lives in Westbury-on-Trym in north Bristol, had an inter-city train named after him and was also given an honorary doctorate by the University of Lincoln in 2017.

The owner of a top North Yorkshire restaurant has said it could face disruption for up to a year following a blaze which destroyed a 14th Century thatched roof.

Firefighters were called to The Star Inn at Harome, near Helmsley, at about 22:15 on Wednesday.

About 45 firefighters tackled the blaze at its height, as of 07:30 this morning seven fire engines remained at the scene. No one was injured in the incident.

Owner Andrew Pern, said: "The roof is probably three or four feet deep of straw, so if you're a fire it's perfect, a great place to be, but not for me at the moment looking on.

"We don't know how it started, it's still burning now nine hours later."

Mr Pern added: "I think we'll probably be out of business for about a year for the main dining area.

"The new part should be ok, so we'll be able to function in a fashion, somehow."

He also praised his staff and local helpers saying :"The staff did a brilliant job, grabbed a hose from the cellar, but with straw and beams which are 800 years old it didn't stand a chance really.

"Anybody and everybody has done as much as they can do, even the local farmers are here shifting all the straw away to make the roads clear."

Thousands of trees will be planted in Bradford to mark to Queen's Platinum Jubilee.

The polls have opened in the by-election for North Yorkshire's next Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner.

The candidates, in alphabetical order, are:

• Hannah Barham-Brown (Women's Equality Party)
• James Barker (Liberal Democrat)
