The driver of the lorry which got caught under Newport Arch in Lincoln earlier finally had to let the air out of the tyres to try and get it moving (below left).

But as the picture below right shows, it has happened before - but the damage was a bit more severe on that occasion:

The Romans didn't their build their arches to accommodate 21st century lorries - as this driver found out on Newport in Lincoln.

Looks like he had a tough job getting it out - but a team effort finally sorted the problem.

This is what happened:

Goxhill was the first RAF site handed to the United States Army Air Forces in 1942 and was used by the Americans as a training base.

The site's watch office was later acquired by the Military Aviation Museum in 2003, before being taken down brick by brick and shipped to Virginia Beach.

Museum Director Mike Potter said the tower was "something of a shrine to many visitors, and it is a distinct honour to be able to offer guests the only experience of its type in our country".

"The entire control tower was taken apart and transported, right down to the brickwork and the loos," he added.

I've been out and about this morning with the team placing plinths for this weekend's Knights' Trail in Lincoln.

More than 30 knights, which have been sponsored by local businesses, will be put up on the plinths around the city in time for the 800th anniversary of the Battle of Lincoln on Saturday:

This plinth is next to the city's Brayford Pool, overlooking the University of Lincoln.

Yesterday, some of the knights were taken to London's King's Cross railway station to promote this weekend's events.

The knights will remain in place around Lincoln throughout the summer.

Westminster's coming to Grimsby today as young voters are given the chance to find out why their vote matters.

The Parliamentary Outreach Service will be at the University Centre in the town to talk to students about how decisions made by Parliament directly affect them and others.

Only 43% of 18 to 24-year-olds cast a ballot at the last general election - and there are only four days left for people to register to vote in next month's general election.

Today's event in Grimsby aims to explain how young people can register to vote and how Parliament works.
