It will be dry and fine day with plenty of sunshine, though some cloud will build at times especially this afternoon.

There'll be a light breeze and top temperature of about 13°C (55°F).

Here's my full forecast:

For the third time in just over a decade, the government has called a halt to the East Coast Main Line rail franchise. So, what happens now?

Transport Secretary Chris Grayling says it will be put in the hands of a public-private partnership at least until about 2020.

For two years the line will be state-run, by an operator of last resort, set up and overseen by the department of transport but involving private sector firms including engineering firm Arup.

Passengers and staff shouldn't see any disruption to day-to-day services, according to the transport secretary.

After 2020 the aim is that there will be much closer cooperation between state-owned Network Rail, which owns the track infrastructure, and whoever is operating the train service.

The East Coast Mainline, which is being renamed London and North Eastern Railway (LNER), a brand resurrected from the 1940s, will then be run by a public-private partnership.

Crowds of people were left disappointed on Wednesday after a mix-up led to them missing a highly anticipated flypast by an RAF Typhoon over the Derwent Dam.

Spectators were initially informed a Lancaster Bomber, marking the 75th anniversary of the Dambusters raid from RAF Scampton in Lincolnshire, would not fly due to bad weather.

They were then told its replacement, a Typhoon, would also not fly - only for it to roar over minutes later.

The RAF has apologised to those who attended the event for the confusion.

But officials from the Department for Transport say the services to Lincoln Central (above) will be introduced - even if that's slightly later than expected.

But David Mitchell - a rail campaigner from Lincoln is not convinced by the assurances.

Earlier today we told you about a Lancaster bomber flypast being cancelled because of low cloud.

Instead, a Typhoon jet was to perform the task over the Derwent to mark the 75th anniversary of the Dambuster raids.

But confusion came when hundreds of people who'd turned out to see it heard that the whole thing was being called off, and there'd be no fly-past.

However, it did happen, but later than planned, meaning many missed it as they'd left the site.

Here's the explanation:

The fighter jet replaced a Lancaster bomber in a flypast to mark 75 years since the daring raid.

The RAF's new aircraft, which cost almost £100m each, will replace the Tornado fleet at RAF Marham.

The current joint operators, Stagecoach and Virgin, had been negotiating a new contract with the Department for Transport.

But Stagecoach has said it now understood Transport Secretary Chris Grayling is "no longer considering" the firms for the deal.

Mick Cash, general secretary of the RMT union, said: "Instead of being a temporary arrangement, Chris Grayling should listen to his staff and the public and make it permanent."

Meanwhile, Anthony Smith, chief executive of independent watchdog Transport Focus, said: "Whichever organisation runs East Coast services, passengers will be looking for the quality of current services to be maintained and built on."

People waiting for a flypast by a Typhoon at the Derwent Dams in Derbyshire have been left angry after being told it wouldn't happen...only to see the aircraft fly over as they left the site.

The aircraft was drafted in at the last minute to replace a Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF) Lancaster Bomber on a flight commemorating 75 years since the Dambusters raid.

The RAF Coningsby-based Lancaster had to pull out because of windy weather and earlier this lunchtime the BBMF commanding officer tweeted this:

But this video is just one that has been shared from the Derwent dams showing the Typhoon actually flying over:

No explanation yet from the RAF - more as we get it...

Stagecoach and Virgin Trains were awarded an eight-year contract in 2014 to run the London to Edinburgh line - but they've been losing millions of pounds.

In a stock market statement, Stagecoach chief executive Martin Griffiths, said: "We are surprised and disappointed that the Department for Transport has chosen not to proceed with our proposals."

"Today's decision should not detract from the hard work and dedication of our people at Virgin Trains East Coast"

Transport Secretary Chris Grayling is expected to make a statement to parliament shortly.
