TV presenter Carol Vorderman will be joining campaigners to get the last surviving British Dambuster a knighthood. 

She's handing in a petition to Downing Street today calling for Lincolnshire-born George "Johnny" Johnson to be recognised.

The 95-year-old was part of the Scampton-based 617 Squadron which carried out the Dambusters raids.

Carol - who's an ambassador for the RAF cadets based in Lincoln - explains why she's determined to see it through:

Do you remember these?:

These are the hugely popular Lincoln Barons, displayed all over the city back in 2015 to celebrate 800 years of Magna Carta and then auctioned off for charity. 

This year, it's 800 years since the Battle of Lincoln and the sealing of the Charter of the Forest - so move over Barons and hello Knights! 

A total of 35 of the fibreglass statues are planned, and artists have now started getting to work on painting them.

The Shannon Class lifeboat is faster, more agile and can travel further to rescues than the 26-year-old vessel it's replacing. 

Its been paid for thanks to a £1.5m donation by the Grunnill family, who have been associated with the lifeboat station for almost 200 years:

You'll remember that a stretch of the A607 was closed for over four hours hours yesterday after a multi-vehicle crash near RAF Waddington.

One of the vehicles involved was a ambulance, and five people had to be taken to hospital as a result, including both of the crew members. 

Today, investigations into the cause of the crash are continuing.

Frances Stanson saw the incident from his home nearby:

It's going to be a cold day today across the county with temperatures staying low.

That fog and mist will hang around again as well, though the sun could burst through in places.

Strong, cold winds especially on the coast.

A cold and largely cloudy night with a widespread frost, and turning breezy. 

The odd spot of drizzle, or perhaps some very slight snow is possible, bringing a risk of localised icy patches by dawn.
