Staff at a storage company in Old Newton near Stowmarket had something of a surprise when they opened a container and a 12cm (4.7in) spider scuttled out.

RSPCA officer Naemi Kilbey, who was called to collect the spider, said: "I'd get a bit of a shock if I was unloading some stock and a huge Huntsman spider crawled out.

“While a bite from one of these arachnids could cause some pain and discomfort, they are not a highly venomous spider.”

The RSPCA said Huntsman spiders, usually from Australia, can grow to more than 15cm (6in).

The last time Lincoln City hosted Ipswich Town was a Second Division match on 15 April 1961 in a season of contrasting fortunes for the two clubs.

Ipswich won the title and promotion under Alf Ramsey - one year before lifting the League Championship, while The Imps finished bottom and were relegated to the old Third Division.

Ipswich's scorers at Sincil Bank were Roy Stephenson, Ray Crawford, Ted Phillips and Jimmy Leadbetter (pictured left to right, with Doug Moran joining them second from left).

Ipswich's Andy Nelson had opened the scoring for Lincoln with an own-goal.  

The crowd was 7,820.

The rail company Greater Anglia has signed an agreement to sell 40% of its rail franchise to Mitsui & Co, pending final regulatory approvals.

The two companies have a track record of working together. 

They first entered into a joint venture to bid for the West Midlands rail franchise in 2016, along with the East Japan Railway Company. 

Following this, Abellio felt that Mitsui would be the best partner to run the Greater Anglia franchise in a 60:40 venture.

It will be the first time a Japanese company has became a shareholder of a British train operating company.

Abellio first operated the franchise from February 2012, and re-won it in August 2016.

It will continue to have a majority stake in the business and be in overall control.

It plans to spend £1.4bn on more than 1,000 new carragies, free wi-fi and station improvements - and has a commitment to cut average journey times by 10%.

I'm here in Crowfield, where there is an outer cordon in place, as well as an inner cordon, further up the road, as police attempt to engage with a man in a property in the village.

In addition to the police vehicles, there's an ambulance parked up in a driveway.

Police have told us they've been here since about 23:15, and that they're "concerned" about the welfare of a man in a property further up the village, but that's all they're saying for now.

A few moments ago another couple of police cars arrived and went further into the village, and the police dog unit came out of Crowfield and headed towards Coddenham.
