Benjamin Sullivan, 40, was awarded first prize for Breech!, which depicts his wife Virginia nursing their eight-month-old daughter, Edith.

The judges said they were struck by the tenderness and intimacy of the oil painting, which showed the depth of the maternal bond, reminiscent of Madonna and Child portraits.

Sullivan receives a £30,000 prize and a commission worth £5,000 at the National Portrait Gallery in London.

This shows just how bad the traffic is - BBC Radio Lincolnshire reporter Corazon Garcia has been stuck in traffic for an hour trying to get to the show, and she's only traveled a mile.

And it seems she's not the only one...

A charity record for the victims and survivors of the Grenfell Tower fire was played for the first time this morning just after 08:00.

The version of Bridge Over Troubled Waters was recorded at the weekend.

It features, among others, Brian May, Robbie Williams and Lincolnshire singer Ella Henderson.

Slow traffic is reported along most of the western section of the Lincoln bypass, the A46.

Queues are building at the end of the dual carriageway section at Hykeham, and there's a queue of very slow moving traffic from the Skellingthorpe roundabout, all the way to the Riseholme roundabout - the A15 junction.

There's also queueing traffic on the A46 Lincoln bypass at its junction with the A158.

And the A158 Wragby road is moving very slowly towards the city.

BBC Weather

Thousands of leaflets are to be delivered to people living in Barton.

It's after the town was missed out of a mass distribution to Bottesford, Brigg, Broughton, Crowle and Ealand, Epworth, Kirton-in-Lindsey, and Winterton.

North Lincolnshire Council say they want people's views on issues to do with local elections like council size, the number of councillors to be elected and parish wards.

It's the first time a review on electoral arrangements for all eight town councils has been undertaken.

BBC Weather

Rather cloudy in the north and east, though further south cloud will tend to break up allowing some evening sunshine.

Largely clear skies developing across most areas overnight.

A report into Lincoln Prison has found an increase in violence against staff - partly due to drug use among inmates.

Inspectors have also highlighted issues with overcrowding and prisoner rehabilitation.

The report did say staff were working hard to address the challenges the prison was facing.

Car parking charges in Grimsby could go up and some underused car parks close.

It's as North East Lincolnshire Council consider plans to start a consultation, external into parking in the area.

The council's cabinet will decide next week if they will ask for your views on parking.

If it's given the go-ahead, residents will be asked if they want to see underused car parks like Burgess Street, Duncombe Street, Orwell Street and Wellington Terrace in Grimsby close, or if they should be used for other things.

An independent review into parking in the area is recommending the council increase car parking charges and ask people if they want their street included in residents parking schemes.

People living in parts of Lincolnshire say they're worried about overgrown verges.

Residents in Horncastle and Fishtoft say the long grass is covering up road signs and junctions, which could put drivers at risk.

Many have now taken matters into their own hands, and are mowing the verges themselves.

Lincolnshire County Council say they maintain areas where safety is a concern, but they do have to make savings.
