Becoming heavy in places before drier weather reaches western parts towards dawn.

Lincoln Cathedral is being transformed into a Victorian laboratory for a series of special performances.

Lincoln Theatre Company is putting on a 10-day run of Jekyll and Hyde: The Musical at the historic building from next Tuesday.

It's not for profit either, with all the money raised from ticket sales going back into the cathedral.

Director Ben Poole says performing in what he says is "arguably the best building in the world" can only make the show even better:

In a statement, the Humberside force says it "recognises the significant disruption for the residents in the area and thanks them for their patience and support during the operation".

The small grassy mounds on the gardens of the Carlton estate, in Lincoln, were to be levelled.

A woman can get rid of her child's middle name because of its "association with a notorious public figure", a judge in Lincoln has ruled.

The mother argued the name, which cannot be known for legal reasons, was "infected with bad connotations".

The father objected to the change as he preferred the middle name, but a family court ruled it could be dropped.

At a previous hearing, a judge said continued use of the name "would damage the child's emotional welfare".

The child's father had appealed against a decision from a less senior judge, but Judge Mark Rogers dismissed this.

In a family court in Lincoln, the judge said the name was "not eccentric or in itself offensive".

But he ruled the "association" was enough to allow the mother to drop the middle name.

Good news if you're heading back from the coast: the crash in Horncastle we told you about earlier has now been cleared.

All planes flying with the Coningsby-based Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF) have been grounded due to a technical issue, it's been announced.

The problem is "related to the Merlin engine" - which powers aircraft including the Spitfire, Lancaster and Hurricane - but "affects all current and serviceable display aircraft", the BBMF says.

Although there's no word yet on how long it'll take to fix the problem, it comes ahead of the first ever airshow at RAF Scampton which is due to be held in early September.

The event is due to include planes from the BBMF, which has a total of 12 historical aircraft, including a Lancaster - one of only two left flying in the world.

This is going to cause some problems for the rest of the afternoon, no doubt:

The A158 is, of course, the main route to and from the coast.

With the nice weather today, an awful lot of people making their way back from Skegness could be affected by this.

The farm's owners says they have strict hygiene standards in place and the milk contains healthy bacteria.

But Tony Lewis, from the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health, says there are "well-known risks" which come with unpasteurised milk:

Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust says work is being carried out to get the wards up to code as quickly as possible.

A Lincolnshire mum has cautiously welcomed news that hospitals in the county will again be able to give some form of diagnosis for autism.

Sarah Stewart has been waiting a year for her son to be diagnosed because the hospitals trust didn't meet health watchdog guidelines and axed the diagnosis service.

United Lincolnshire Hospitals Trust said yesterday it would move back to full diagnosis by the end of the week.

Mrs Stewart says a lot of people have been left in limbo while the diagnosis service was unavailable:
