Here's one from our friends at BBC Get Inspired. I dedicate it to someone very close to me who, it is fair to say, is something of a fan of Mr Lineker - and has a life-size cardboard cut-out of him that I carried across the piazza at Media City.

Seven fire engines are at the scene of a house fire in Reading Road, near Rushmere Road, in Ipswich.

Police were advised that there appeared to be cannabis inside the premises, but cannot confirm it at this stage because of the extent of the blaze.

The fire appears to be in the roof of a semi-detached property, which has been badly damaged.

Reading Road has been shut in both directions, and the electricity has been switched off in the area while the fire is put out.

Suffolk County Council and Suffolk’s clinical commissioning groups said: “We fully accept the findings of the report and apologise that the local area’s services and provision have not effectively met the needs of children and young people in our county. 

"Transforming these services is our priority."

The statement, which follows the publication of a joint report, external by Ofsted and the CQC, which is highly critical of services, continues: "We are investing in training across all partners and providers focusing on improving co-production of Education Health Care Plans, external.

"Whilst the report recognises the early steps taken to make improvements, it clearly highlights that there is still much more work we need to do and we agree with these findings.

"We are working together [with the Suffolk Parent Carer Network, external] to improve access to information, improve the SEND [special educational needs and/or disabilities] journey, external and develop the services and provision available locally."

The county councillor responsible for children's services has accepted that it's not right that parents of children with special educational needs have to fight for support for them.

Admitting that there's "more to do and we're doing it", Gordon Jones said: "I want to try to get it where there's a single point of contact - they [parents] know where to go." 

Despite a report from Ofsted and the CQC identifying "significant weaknesses" in the system, Mr Jones says he's "comfortable" in his position, and is "absolutely clear" that things can be turned around.

I've been to Pontins near Lowestoft, where Paul Gladwell, 38, of Colchester had been on holiday.

He was arrested after police were called to reports of an altercation and was being taken to Great Yamouth.

Officers abandoned that plan and took him to the James Paget Hospital in Gorleston-on-Sea, where he died yesterday morning.

It's a big weekend for Diss Rugby Club. 

They are top of London League 2 North East, external, but only a point clear of South Woodham Ferrers who they play away from home on Saturday afternoon. 

Diss have lost only one of their 16 league matches so far this season. The winners of this fixture will be firm favourites for promotion with just five further games to play before the end of the season. 

So, you'll need to buy your ticket in advance. They won't be available on the gate.

Two teenagers arrested in connection with two robberies in Ipswich on Wednesday night have been released on police bail.

In one of the incidents, two men reported being threatened at gunpoint and ordered to hand over cash.

A 14-year-old from County Durham has been bailed until 17 March, while a boy of the same age from Ipswich has been bailed until 24 March.

Tributes to a dad-of-three with a "heart of gold" who died after being arrested at a holiday camp.

Meet Mark and his hawk, Faith.

He's part of a pest control firm that uses the birds of prey to disperse other birds.

The pair are often hired by councils and other organisations, such as Cambridge University, to control pigeons and gulls.  

A Freedom of Information request by the BBC revealed the amount spent by councils on pest control across the country rose from £452,000 in 2013-2014 to £830,000 in 2015-2016, with some interesting figures across the East of England.

Falconer Mark White, of Suffolk-based Step Pest Control, said councils were increasingly using non-lethal methods of bird control.

He uses a combination of methods ranging from netting and spikes, special gels which look like fire, hawks and even a high-powered laser beam.

Mr White, who's lives in Norfolk but grew up in Essex, said a lot of people think pest controllers "use hawks for killing".

"It is in fact the complete opposite.

"We use the birds for disruption and discourage killing as much as possible."

The British Pest Control Association said the increase in spending might reflect a growing awareness of public health risks posed by some birds.

The Cambridge band, who appear on 2 July,  join Elbow, Olly Murs and Rick Astley in the line-up for the Forestry Commission's "Forest Live" concert series, which has been running for 16 years.

The chief nursing officer for the NHS in the county has admitted they've got things wrong, when it comes to providing support for children with special educational needs.

Speaking after the publication of a joint report, external from Ofsted and the Care Quality Commission, Barbara McLean said: "We've been really concerned by the level of issues they [the two organisations] have raised with us.

"It's absolutely not right that families have to fight or feel that they have to fight and they ought to know exactly what services are available to them and be able to access them."

Parents of children with special educational needs feel they have to "fight" to achieve full recognition of their child's needs, according to a report, external published jointly by Ofsted and the Care Quality Commission.

The findings have been backed up by Paula Davies from Bury St Edmunds, whose son William, 17, has to go to school outside the county.

She says as parents it's absolutely heartbreaking: "I do feel like the system spends too much time and energy fighting us, whereas if we all worked together it would actually be beneficial for the children.

"It could well save money because sending a child like William to numerous panels to be refused, and then in the end going 'oh all right then' - that has cost implications as well."

A report published this morning, external says services in Suffolk for children with special educational needs are weak and require big improvements.

The report follows inspections by two watchdogs, Ofsted, external and the Care Quality Commission, external.

Among the criticisms raised in the report:

• The needs of many children and young people are not effectively met
• Parents who feel they have to fight to achieve recognition of their child's needs, say they feel like a "burden"
• There's a lack of support for children with autism and mental health problems
• Provision varies greatly across the county

The report identifies some positives on the services provided by the county council and NHS too:

• Areas have been identified where improvement is needed
• Plans are being implemented quicker
• Early years support is good
