I don't know what you did to mark reaching the ripe old age of 17, but a Lowestoft teenager is taking on a challenge that will see him drive about 2,400 miles (3,800km) in 10 days.

William Neesham takes his theory driving test today, and his practical test in 10 days, by which time he'll have visited places including Doncaster, John O'Groats and Brighton before coming back home to Suffolk.

William, who'll be accompanied by his father and aunt - both of whom are driving instructors, is taking on the challenge to raise money for a care centre, external at the James Paget Hospital.

The teenager, who's been driving off-road since he was 10, said: "I've been told by a lot of people that I'm underestimating it a little bit, because everyone says it's going to be very tiring but we'll see how it goes.

"I'm already quite comfortable with the car, which obviously helps quite a lot going into this."

William's father, Charles, admits the trip has been a "dream" since his son was a young lad.

"I'm really looking forward to it, I think I'm more excited than he is," he said.

A retired Metropolitan Police detective who now lives near Eye has told us he believes halting the search for Corrie Mckeague at the landfill site near Cambridge is a mistake.

Colin Sutton said: "They say on Friday they believe Corrie is in the landfill site yet they stop searching, and then last night we have the statement 'we are committed to finding Corrie'.

"It seems pretty self-evident if you're actually committed to it, and you believe you know where he is, then keep looking there.

"We were told on Friday that money is not the issue so if it isn't the issue, then I don't see any good reason for stopping."

The landfill site at Milton near Cambridge, where police have spent about 20 weeks searching for Corrie Mckeague, is to be left in its "current state" and not be used for any more rubbish until a review into the investigation has been completed.

Police say they "acknowledge and understand the frustration that Corrie’s family, friends and many supporters feel" in relation to their decision last week to call a halt to the search.

A spokesman added: "The search for Corrie remains a live and active investigation as we all remain committed to finding him.

"Our work to locate Corrie remains ongoing.

"This will include work to search preserved waste that was incinerated to see if this will establish if there are any further clues as to what happened to Corrie.

"This incinerated waste will be subject to examination and where necessary forensic analysis in the coming weeks."

We may have quite a cloudy start this morning, but we should see some decent spells of sunshine as we head through the course of the day.

We could also see a little bit of rain, the cloud thick enough to produce that the further east you are.

Top temperature: 21C (70F).
