The Domesday Book has arrived at Lincoln Castle.

It's the first time the 900 year old public record has ever been loaned outside London.

It's being displayed in a special vault alongside Lincoln's copy of Magna Carta and the Charter of the Forest.

Good morning from Lincoln. We're back again to bring you all the latest news, sport, weather and travel from across the county.

Some news we've just received from the RAF - their parade marking the freedom of the town in Stamford tomorrow has been postponed, following the UK terror threat level being raised to "critical".

RAF Wittering spokesman Ed Palmer told BBC Look East: "In consultation with Lincolnshire Police and in line with national police guidelines RAF Wittering has reluctantly decided to postpone the parade marking the Freedom of Stamford tomorrow.

"Although we are not aware of any specific threat to Stamford or RAF Wittering, we believe it would be more appropriate to hold the parade at a later date.

"RAF Wittering apologises for any disappointment and thanks the people of Stamford and the nearby communities for their continuing support."

The team behind the Bomber Command Centre near Lincoln have received a boost.

They've been struggling to find the £2m needed to finish the project. But they've just been awarded £700,000 from BIFFA - which provides grants from landfill tax.
