Cambridge United supporter, Simon Dobbin, 44, suffered life-changing injuries after he was injured in an assault after he left Southend United's Roots Hall ground in March 2015.

Mr Dobbin has only made a partial recovery since returning to his home in Mildenhall.

Twelve of the men have pleaded not guilty to conspiracy to commit violent disorder.

One man faces a charge of assisting an offender and possessing a prohibited weapon, which he denies.

The 27-year-old reached 108 before retiring, putting on a first wicket partnership of 203 with Martyn Cull, as Suffolk took control of their opening fixture with Buckinghamshire.

Head coach Andy Northcote recently praised Mickleburgh's attitude and workrate both on and off the field following his arrival from Essex:

"He really has helped our younger players and his performances for both club [Copdock] and county across the summer so far have been outstanding."

Mickleburgh's aim is to earn himself a first class contract elsewhere, and at this rate, it may not be long before a county championship side comes calling.

A minute's silence has been held across the UK for the victims of the London Bridge terror attack.

People gathered at the Cornhill in Ipswich town centre.

Hopefully the weather will not stand in the way of what could be an excellent day for Suffolk's cricketers at the Victory Ground in Bury St Edmunds.

Andy Northcote's side have Buckinghamshire on the ropes in their Minor Counties Championship fixture, after impressing with both bat and ball so far.

Martyn Cull, Jaik Mickleburgh and Ben Shepperson all posted big scores as Suffolk declared their first innings on 394 for 6., external

At stumps yesterday, Buckinghamshire were 92 for 5 in their second innings, and still trail by 42 runs.

The third and final day is due to resume at 11:00.

Trading standards officers are going to go door-to-door in villages close to the site near Diss where the newest case of bird flu has been confirmed.

The outbreak is in a back garden in Scole in Norfolk while the 3km (1.9mile) protection and surveillance zones also covers part of Suffolk.

Sasha Watson, from Suffolk Trading Standards, external, said: "Yesterday we were doing door-to-door with Norfolk Trading Standards actually in Norfolk - we're helping them out quite considerably at the moment.

"As of today, we'll be going door-to-door in Oakley, and then probably tomorrow going to Stuston."

The British Horseracing Authority, external is launching a new four-week entry to employment programme, working alongside the British Racing School, external in Newmarket, to try to ease a massive shortfall of staff at stables in the town and surrounding area.

They're offering students at Britain's equine colleges a chance to turn their passion into a career.

Trainer Chris Wall (pictured below) said: "We had a massive growth in the number of horses in training 10 to 15 years ago.

"The staff shortage at the time was offset by being able to bring people in, we had eastern Europeans and we were able to bring people in on work visas from outside the EU, principally from India and Pakistan.

"The coalition government in 2011 put a stop to the ones from outside the EU and that's really what caused the shortage."

A new scheme to tackle recruitment in the horse racing industry has begun in Newmarket, where trainers are facing a shortfall of hundreds of staff.

Zoe Elliott, from the British Horseracing Authority, external, says: "Newmarket is unique. There's a real focus of employers, so the shortage here really is felt quite strongly.

"We think [we're around] 500 short, based on the number of vacancies that we see and the number of new entrants we see registering in the industry each year."

Corrie Mckeague's mother has responded to the police announcement they'll be continuing to search the landfill site at Milton in Cambridgeshire, on a "week by week" basis.

The RAF Honington serviceman has not been seen since his image was captured on CCTV during a night out in Bury St Edmunds with friends at the end of September.

Writing on the Find Corrie Facebook page, external, Nicola Urquhart (pictured on a previous occasion) says: "There is no time scale being placed on this, the police will review this daily and continue to search for as long as they find items relating to the area and date range Corrie disappeared.

"Waiting is hard, for us all. I do still however believe that this is the most logical place to be searched.

"Our gratitude to Suffolk police for continuing this search is immeasurable, I pray we get answers.

"Thank you all, once again for the very bottom of my heart for remaining on here and supporting my family.

"We truly would not be where we are without you all."

It's quite a damp start to the day, we've had some rain overnight, and there's more rain to come through the day.

The rain will be quite light at first, but there'll be heavier pulses of rain moving in from the west, with a strong and gusty wind.

It's going to feel pretty chilly, with a top temperature of about 14C (57F) inland, cooler on the coast.

Welcome to Tuesday's live coverage.

The team here's ready and waiting to bring you regular updates of what's happening across the county.

We'll hear from Corrie Mckeague's mum, who has responded to yesterday's announcement from the police that the search for his body at a landfill site will continue on a "week by week" basis.

We'll also join the rest of the country in marking a minute's silence at 11:00 in memory of the victims of Saturday night's terror attack in London.

But we'll start the day as ever, by taking a look at the weather, and from what I heard from Kate Kinsella a little earlier, we're in for a pretty miserable day.

Further GPS data from a rubbish lorry has expanded the landfill search area for Corrie Mckeague.

Police say the work is constantly being reviewed and, as the search team is still finding items from the right time frame that are identifiable as coming from the town, the search will continue on a week by week basis.

This week police will be bulk-moving further material to allow the work to continue.

The work is being done to ensure all parts of the relevant area are covered following further detailed and specific work completed around the GPS positioning of the vehicle which brought the waste to the site.

Four sheep have had to be destroyed after being discovered with injuries in a field at Hollesley last month.

A further 12 are being treated for deep puncture wounds consistent with a dog attack, say police.

The Hebridean and Norfolk rare breed sheep were in fields at Heath Road in the village.

Police have issued a reminder that anyone who owns or is in charge of a dog which worries livestock on any agricultural land is guilty of an offence. They're also asking anyone who sees a dog attacking sheep to call them immediately.

The Chief Constable is seeking to reassure residents and visitors that, although Suffolk remains safe, the approach to policing will be "continuously reviewed to help mitigate any potential further threats".

Gareth Wilson said: "Our thoughts remain with those affected by the incident in London on Saturday, particularly the families of those killed and all who sustained injuries.

"Here in Suffolk we continue to keep policing under review in view of national events and, while the county remains safe, we need to come together to show those who would create fear and division that we stand as one against such attacks.

"Extremists present a significant challenge for the police, security and intelligence services and our communities’ support is paramount in helping us deal with this challenge."

He urged everyone "to report anything they believe to be suspicious behaviour, and to continue to be alert but not alarmed".

"The threat level and our response are constantly under review. If we feel it necessary to deploy specially trained officers again in the coming weeks we will, while maintaining a police presence in our communities and at key events," he said.

"I would continue to ask the public to remain calm but alert – if you see anything which causes you concern, then call the police immediately.

"Look out for anything that seems out of place, we would rather investigate concerns which come to nothing, rather than hear an incident could have been prevented.”

After several years of debate and procrastination, Ipswich has six new "Welcome" signs on the main entrances to the town.

Councillor Paul West, who has responsibility for Ipswich with Suffolk County Council, has described them as "very colourful, vibrant, modern signs" saying "the idea behind them is to create a buzz abut Ipswich so people from outside the town coming in see Ipswich as a modern, colourful and exciting place".

He added: "I think there were some hold-ups at the Department of Transport, typical bureaucracy and I think when the county council, the borough council, got involved with that, tried to knock heads together, the result has come out of it, but it has taken far, far too long - I think five years in all.

"But I'm glad they're now here and I think they'll be a great addition to the town."
