    It's the work of Eye residents Carlo Roberts and Stefan Fulcher, and is designed to raise the question of whether electric cars could ever be powered directly by turbines.

    Mr Roberts, who's a geography teacher at Sprowston High School in Norfolk, said: "I'm interested in art that relates to the locality and views from above.

    "The idea of having a turbine powering a car seemed very interesting."

    Surgeons at the Lenox Hill Hospital in New York have just removed 10lbs (4.5kg) of excess skin from his body. He underwent a similar procedure last year.

    He said: "When I have recovered from this surgery I [will be] having treatment for my severe arthritis in my knees and left foot, which will give me my mobility back."

    In the next year he's planning to ride his bike, do a 5km (3.1 miles) run, and go regularly "to the gym and the swimming pool".

    Mr Mason has also thanked Dr Jennifer Capla, who donated her time for the operation, and her team, as well as "everyone else that has made this surgery happen."

    Needham Market FC have identified the woman who posed with their first team while they were delayed after a bridge collapse on the M20 on Saturday 27 August.

    Writing on their website, external, Mark Easlea says: "The bride was Lisa Cobbold who was due to be married at 2pm at The Black Horse in Thurnham, near Detling, Kent.

    "Luckily the registrars had no further bookings for the day and they were able to perform the wedding at 4pm after Lisa arrived at 3.30pm. [She] is now married to Jake Kendall..."

    Steve Cobbold, Lisa's father, told me that she is "very touched" by the football clubs' concern that all turned out well... but the first dance was definitely not to Bridge of Sighs or 'Bridge Over Troubled Waters.

    Mark has just told us that Lisa herself rang last night to say she'd had a lovely time at her wedding and she was back from her Las Vegas honeymoon.

  17. Linda and Ethan - Inside Looking Outpublished at 11:59 British Summer Time 5 September 2016

    Fi Glover with a mother and her mixed race son, who moved back to Lowestoft after living in London and have been confronted with ignorance and racism. Recorded in the mobile Booth on Claremont Pier in Lowestoft, this is another conversation in the series that proves it's surprising what you hear when you listen.

    The Listening Project is a Radio 4 initiative that offers a snapshot of contemporary Britain in which people across the UK volunteer to have a conversation with someone close to them about a subject they've never discussed intimately before. The conversations are being gathered across the UK by teams of producers from local and national radio stations who facilitate each encounter. Every conversation - they're not BBC interviews, and that's an important difference - lasts up to an hour, and is then edited to extract the key moment of connection between the participants. Most of the unedited conversations are being archived by the British Library and used to build up a collection of voices capturing a unique portrait of the UK in the second decade of the millennium. You can learn more about The Listening Project by visiting bbc.co.uk/listeningproject

    Producer: Marya Burgess.
