There's a rare chance to see the bullet that killed Admiral Lord Nelson at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805.

The musket ball (pictured below), which mortally wounded the naval commander, is usually on display at Windsor Castle, but now forms part of an exhibition at Norwich Castle Museum.

It's the first time the 15mm lead shot bullet has been shown in Nelson's home county, and is part of an exhibition that takes a closer look at objects connected to the sea lord.

As well as the bullet which dealt the fatal blow, other exhibits include a French flag captured at the Battle of the Nile in 1798 and an Undress Coat (pictured) worn by Nelson at that battle.

The exhibition, which runs until 1 October, is divided into several sections of Nelson's life and career, starting with his birth at Burnham Thorpe in north west Norfolk in 1758, where his father was the parish rector.

The body of the victim, believed to have been subjected to a "sustained assault", was found on Saturday.

Two men remain in police custody following the death of a woman at a property in Norwich at the weekend.

Her body was discovered at a flat in Godric Place, near Bowthorpe Road, shortly before 14:30 on Saturday by detectives following concerns for her safety.

Inquiries led officers to an address in Windsor Road, Lowestoft and two men and a woman were arrested in connection with the incident.

The woman has been released under investigation while inquiries continue. The two men remain in custody.

A seal remains in place at the scene in Norwich and Lowestoft, and house-to-house inquiries are being carried out in the area today and tomorrow.

The victim has not yet been identified.

The Belgian government appears to have backed down in a row which had put off English boat owners from visiting the country this summer.

Marinas along the east coast tell me that a number of boat owners changed their travel plans after the Cruising Association called for a boycott because three British boats were recently each fined about £450 for using red diesel.

They are supposed to be allowed the cut price fuel in their tanks when visiting other EU ports providing their owners have receipts to prove that 100% tax was paid on the purchase.

But in recent weeks the Belgian authorities have been getting tough arguing that our rules on marked fuel are not in line with EU legislation.

Now the Belgian ambassador to the UK has told the Cruising Association that "no further fines will be levied" by his country until the matter is discussed by the European Commission at the end of September.

"We are telling our members that they travel to Belgium for now without fear of being fined," said John Lansdale fro the Cruising Association.

But this row may return in the autumn...

The symptons and signs of ovarian cancer are not specific, and can overlap with other symptons. As a result more than 70% of woman diagnosed with the cancer are in the advanced stage of the disease.

Around 60 patients are treated each year for advanced ovarian cancers at the NNUH.

The team said the award has been the culmination of more than five years work and determined effort, involving a large multi-disciplinary team with multiple specialities.

This afternoon will remain sunny, with one or two showers developing. Feeling warm, with temperatures of 22C (72F).

Our BBC Weather Watchers have been out and about, capturing blue sky moments across the county:

A new scheme to help children who are moving from foster care to adoption is being trialled in the county.

Norfolk County Council is working with the University of East Anglia (UEA) on the pilot project to encourage foster carers and adopters to spend time together as a child approaches adoption.

It's hoped it will help ease emotional upheaval by gently introducing the transition.

A checklist for foster carers to complete has been developed by the UEA, and this will be passed on to the new family. It's proposed that the arrangements for children's moves should be tailored to each child's needs.

Penny Carpenter, chair of the Children's Services Committee at the county council, says it will give adopters the chance to really understand the child's needs before they join the family.

In addition to the pilot, the project will also include workshops with foster carers and adopters, and individual consultation.

A man was taken to the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital for treatment following an assault in Norwich city centre.

The incident happened between 00:30 and 01:00 yesterday as the victim, who's in his late teens, was walking with two friends along Castle Meadow towards Prince of Wales Road.

He was approached by two males from the other direction. A verbal altercation broke out which resulted in the man suffering a puncture wound to his arm, which is believed to have been caused by a knife.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Norfolk Police.

After rain on Saturday night, the final day of the Cambridge Folk Festival, external began with beautiful sunshine.

Sunday's headliners were the wonderful Loudon Wainwright III and Jake Bugg, who delighted fans on the main stage.

Neil King, editor of acoustic magazine Fatea, said the reorganisation of the layout of the festival had worked: "It's nice to see the opening up of space at the festival - it's been really successful.

"It's a pity the rain meant couldn't take full advantage of it."

Norwich-born folk singer Hannah Sanders, who played in the Club Tent on Friday with Ben Savage, said: "It's been a great festival - so big and everyone wants to be here."

Cambridge singer-songwriter Kerry Devine said: "My parents came to the festival before I was born, so to come here and play has been a dream come true."

Scottish duo Twelfth Day played in The Den on Sunday featuring Catriona Price (fiddle, vocals), who also performed at Cherry Hinton Hall as a member of Orkney group Fara, and Esther Swift (pedal harp and vocals).

They won over the audience with self-penned songs with a political edge as well as fascinating instrumentals.

Another singer-songwriter who played The Den a few years back is London's Jake Isaac, who owned Stage Two on Sunday night this year.

He told me he loved the diversity of music at Cambridge.

So that was my excellent weekend at Cambridge.

You can listen again to BBC Local Radio's Sue Marchant, who presented her Sunday evening show live from the festival.

Time for me to start thinking about the Folk East, external festival which takes place at Glemham Hall on the Suffolk coast, 18-20 August.

An 18-hour vigil at Cromer's war memorial marking the 100th anniversary of the start of the Battle of Passchendaele will end at noon today.

Outside the town's musuem next to the church, all kinds of war memorabilia is on display, from machine guns to helmets and swords.

People of all ages have stepped forward as honour guards for the vigil, including Brownies, Guides, the RNLI, Royal British Legion and the Fire Service.

The town's mayor, John Frosdick, is one of those who've taken part in the vigil - last night and again earlier this morning.

He says people walking past have been bowing their heads out of respect, and being silent.

Forward Marley Watkins believes adaptability will be crucial if Norwich are to mount a promotion challenge this season.

People in Cromer are taking part in an 18-hour vigil at the town's war memorial to mark the centenary of the Battle of Passchendaele.

It began at 18:00 yesterday and will end at noon today, with a brief service at the parish church and the laying of wreaths. The Last Post will be sounded, and a minute's silence will be held.

The vigil has been organised by David Pritchard, following on from the success of the vigil held last year to mark the centenary of the Battle of the Somme.

Passchendaele is a battle close to his heart as his great-grandfather lost his life in the battle.

Mr Pritchard says more than 50 people, from eight to 87-years-old, have stepped forward to be honour guards at the vigil.

Today marks the centenary of the start of one of the bloodiest offensives of World War One.

Around half-a-million Allied and German troops were killed, wounded or went missing at Passchendaele.

This morning, Prince Charles will attend a commemoration at Belguim's Tyne Cot Commonwealth Cemetery, external in memory of those who lost their lives in the three-and-a-half-month-long campaign.

Molly McArthur, from Norwich, is at the cemetery with the National Citizens Service, external helping with the running of the event.

The 18-year-old has been researching her ancestors who died in the battle.

"One of my relatives was George Eli Tuthill from Norfolk, I'm still trying to find out more on him and family contacts are working with me on this... my grandmother's uncle Hugh Harper Johnson, from Renfrewshire, died in the battle on 26 September 1917 - he was a family man, and also managed to bring up one of his daughter's friends, which I feel is very warming."

Morgan says that being a similar age to some of the soldiers not only connects her to her ancestors but to many more who fought in the war.

She believes that it's essential for young people to come and visit the cemeteries.

Norwich City head coach Daniel Farke is optimistic that Josh Murphy and Wes Hoolahan will be fit for the first match of the season at Fulham on Saturday.

Both players missed the final pre-season friendly, a 1-1 draw with Brighton, at the weekend. Farke only had 14 fit outfield players available for that game which saw the Canaries complete their summer friendlies unbeaten.

Farke has put his players through a grueling training regime ahead of his first competitive match in charge.

"The testing shows us that we are totally on the right way, they have a very good physical condition and I am very content," he said.
