As the RAF reaches its centenary, the last surviving British Dambuster, Lincolnshire-born George "Johnny" Johnson, has shared his experiences with a younger recruit.

The famous raid, which flew from RAF Scampton in Lincolnshire on 17 May 1943, saw experimental bouncing bombs used to break two important dams deep within Nazi Germany.

Nineteen planes and 133 men took part in what was codenamed Operation Chastise, with eight planes lost and 53 crew killed:

The latest appeal comes after police issued another CCTV image of a potential eyewitness a little earlier this afternoon.

Mr Richardson died in hospital after being assaulted outside the Halifax Bank in Old Market Place on Monday evening.

Det Ch Insp Stewart Miller says: "There’s no suggestion that these people were involved in the incident that led to Mr Richardson’s death.

"However, they were in the area shortly before it happened and may be able to provide us with vital information, so we would be very grateful if they could get in touch," he says.

Just 12 sites have been selected for the list by Europa Nostra, external, which described itself as "the voice of cultural heritage in Europe", and the Grade II*-listed Ice Factory is the only UK building on the list.

The factory was built in 1900 to provide crushed ice for Grimsby's trawlers, to keep fish fresh in the ship's hold.

Other threatened buildings and sites include the historic centre of Vienna, the Castle of Sammezzano in Tuscany, Italy, and post-Byzantine churches in Albania.

Henrietta Billings, the director of SAVE Britain's Heritage, says she's "delighted the importance of Grimsby's fishing heritage has been recognised on the European stage":

A windy afternoon ahead with sunny spells and possible wintry showers.

Watch my full forecast here:

A teenager from Grimsby who threatened to throw a toddler out of a window has been sent to a young offenders' institution after his original sentence was referred to the Court of Appeal.

Joshua Ingram, 18, was originally given a suspended sentence after admitting making threats to kill, assault and criminal damage.

The offences related to an incident at his ex-girlfriend's former home.

The case was referred to the Court of Appeal by the Solicitor General Robert Buckland QC MP.

The court said the original sentence was "unduly lenient" and said he must be detained for three years.

Parliament's heard claims that patients are being "left stranded" by the patient transport service in Hull and northern Lincolnshire.

The Conservative MP for Brigg and Goole, Andrew Percy, has told the Commons urgent action is needed to sort out Thames Ambulance Service.

The government says a "robust recovery plan" is in place.

Thames Ambulance says it's "getting there", with improvements made to the service recently.

Let's have a quick look at some of the stories making the news in the county today:

• A woman, who allegedly filmed a fight in Boston, is wanted by police
• Work on Lincoln's bypass has stopped after the collapse of construction company Carillion
• A shopping centre in Sleaford has been criticised for only having five out of 15 shops occupied

Work on Lincoln's Eastern Bypass has stopped after the collapse of infrastructure firm Carillion.

The construction giant went bust yesterday, leaving tens of thousands of jobs at risk and dozens of infrastructure projects delayed.

The Eastern Bypass was due to open in late 2019 and is costing the taxpayer £65m and developers £34m.

It is being built to join the A15 Sleaford Rd with the A158 Wragby Road, encircling Lincoln.

Despite the work having stopped, Lincolnshire County Council leader Martin Hill says the Eastern Bypass "will be built".

Mr Hill says most of Carillion's sub-contractors have suspended work until they know whether they will be paid or not.

The victim of a fatal attack in Grimsby earlier this week has been named as 45-year-old Tony Richardson.

Det Ch Insp Stewart Miller says: "We are investigating a number of new lines of enquiry and want to thank the public for the response by them in coming forward with information."

Lee Beevers has left the team to take a coaching role at Gainsborough rivals Alfreton Town.

Beevers has previously played for Lincoln City and Boston United.

Former Lincoln City manager Chris Moyses has also moved in the last 24 hours to manage Alfreton town FC.

Police are looking for a woman who may have filmed a fight in Boston which ended with a man getting serious head injuries.

The 29-year-old man is still in a serious condition after the fight on Christmas Day morning.

Lincolnshire Police say it happened near Brothertoft Road and Sydney Street (pictured below).

The victim is still being treated at Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham.

Police are searching for three people who may have seen the fight happen.

One is a woman in her 20s who's around 5ft tall with long dark hair. Police believe she may have filmed the fight on her phone.

Officers are also looking for the driver of a white van who may have been driving on Sydney Street at the time and a couple who were walking down Brothertoft road at about 02:00 on Christmas morning.

Problems with professional beggars on the streets of Cleethorpes are expected to be raised in the Commons today.

A recent report by North East Lincolnshire Council found that 16 people beg on the streets there, despite having a home.

The town's, MP Martin Vickers, says recently there was a "rising problem" with beggars in Grimsby and the council there had come under pressure from traders to do something.

"Unfortunately, that's moved the problem to the Cleethorpes. It's been much more noticeable in recent months and it's an issue that's causing concern both to shopkeepers and to shoppers," says Mr Vickers.

One person has received treatment for the effects of breathing in smoke during a house fire in Boston.

Fire crews were sent to the property on Brotherton Road last night.

It's believed the fire started in the kitchen when food was left cooking unattended.

A shopping centre in Sleaford has been described by local residents as an "eyesore" and "deserted" because it has so few shops in it .

The Riverside Centre in the town has 15 units for shops, but 10 of them are empty.

The traders who do have shops in the centre say the rent is expensive and it's rising.

It's after Lincolnshire Co-op spent £500,000 renovating the centre last year.

The Co-op said it was "working hard to bring new services to the area".
