The BBC's Antiques Roadshow is there today, filming for one of the episodes in its 40th anniversary series.

Along with the programme's experts will be Fiona Bruce, who says she's looking for a good "journalist story".

"I'm in no way an antiques specialist but I know a good story when I see one... we had a chap who brought along a pile of letters that had belonged to his father - who'd died when this man was 19 and he's now in his 70s... he'd never opened them, they were written from his time during the war."

BBC Radio Suffolk will be broadcasting live from the event, with Lesley Dolphin, from 13:00.

Chris Henderson joined us in the commentary box at the Amber Dew Events Stadium this week where his former club Lowestoft Town, external took on Leiston,, external who he joined in the summer.

Leiston were comfortable winners on the day and are fourth n the Bostik Premier Division following an unbeaten and encouraging start to the season.

By contrast, the Trawler Boys are struggling. Ady Gallagher's somewhat depleted squad find themselves in the relegation zone at this early stage with four defeats from five matches.

Henderson though has been telling us that he believes Lowestoft's fortunes will improve:

"The club is in a bit of a transitional period and I think that was the case when I was there last season as well," the midfielder said.

"I didn't expect to see them challenging at the top this early in the season, but I don't think they're in any danger.

"They have enough good players in their team and enough experience... I'm sure they'll be fine."

A scuba diver missing off the Norfolk coast has been named as Brighton man Terry Tonkin.

The 67-year-old had been diving on a wreck when on Monday the coastguard was called after he failed to return to a dive vessel which had departed from the Port of Lowestoft.

The group had been in the water 15 miles (24.1km) offshore from Great Yarmouth when the alarm was raised.

After 14 hours, the search by the coastguard was suspended pending further information.

Kevin Doolan will ride for the Ipswich Witches, external when they face Redcar in their latest championship meeting on Thursday night.

The 36-year-old, who has previously captained the Suffolk side, replaces the injured Justin Sedgmen at number three.

The Witches will use rider replacement to cover for the absence of Cameron Heeps.

He suffered a fractured shoulder as a result of a fall during last week's win over Peterborough at Foxhall and there are doubts as to whether he'll feature again this season.

Witches director Chris Louis said: "It's been confirmed that he's got a broken scapula. He's had treatment today and it's looking like a three to four week lay-off."

An 89-year-old woman died nine days after she fell while she was being hoisted from her bed.

People are being urged to check their vehicles after this motorcyclist was filmed by police riding near Beccles in the dark, wearing dark clothing, without lights on.

The new Energy Minister Richard Harrington has told oil and gas leaders they have the "full support" of the UK government in maximising the economic potential of the North Sea.

"These are challenging but exciting times with new opportunities in North Sea oil and gas," he said.

"I want to make it clear that the industry has full support of the UK government, and that we are continuing to create the right environment though a stable and supportive package to allow business, enterprise and jobs to flourish."

The government has committed more than £2bn to encourage oil and gas companies to drill deeper in the North Sea and extract oil and gas which has previously been considered too uneconomical to mine.

Over the past 50 years the oil and gas industry has extracted more than 43 billion barrels from the North Sea.

Current production accounts for more than 50% of UK gas demand and about 65% of UK oil demand.
