Thanks for being with us today, we'll be back at 07:00 on Tuesday morning.

In the meantime, let's look back at five things we learnt today...

1. A hoard of Roman coins found by a metal detectorist at Wold Newton in the Yorkshire Wolds was enough for a Roman soldier to have splashed out on 11,000 beers
2. You've been invited to help decide the colour of the next lick of paint applied to York's landmark Mansion House
3. A picture of a hole 400ft deep and 3/4 of a mile across can be spectacular photographic moment if it happens to be in North Yorkshire
4. You don't have to have been on earth too long to know plenty about its dazzling array of wildlife
5. You can lure crowds at the Deer Shed Festival into decorating their faces if you dress to impress

Let's end today with a slice of summer. This view from the recently re-opened lighthouse on the main pier in Whitby, was sent in by BBC Weather Watcher Gary Gimmick.

Meet Zach Hayes, a nature blogger from Northallerton.

I first spoke to him in January when he'd completed a personal challenge to write something about nature every day for a year.

As a result, he's recently picked up a couple of really exciting awards.

He's been surprised by the team behind the "Unsprung" bit of the BBC's Springwatch porgramme, who congratulated him on his communication skills.

And he's also won a place at the final of a big national competition next March.

Judging from this pic, I'd say he definitely has an affinity with wildlife!

Earlier I told you about how you can play your part in deciding what colour York's Mansion House should be painted during its current restoration.

I thought a little background information might add some context and perhaps colour your decision about the Lord Mayor of York's official residence: 

• 1732 – The house is completed. The front is left unpainted.
• 1750s – The facade becomes discoloured and dirty, so is painted to freshen up the colours. The stone is painted a pale stone colour and the brick is painted brick red.
• 1790s – The whole facade, pediment and crest, is painted in a stone colour, to reflect the "pure" neoclassical style of the time.
• About 1814 – The crest is painted in heraldic colours. The rest of the house continues to be painted stone.
• About 1884 – The brickwork is again painted brick red. The rest of the house is painted stone, and the crest is painted in heraldic colours.
• From  about 1924 – The brickwork continues to be painted in various shades of red, the stone work in various shades of stone and the crest in heraldic colours.

It's a bit cloudy inland today in the county, but that doesn't seem to be the case on the coast.

Two glorious pics have just appeared in the BBC Weather Watchers file.

Earlier we told you about an appeal to save one of the largest Roman hoards ever found in the north of England.

More than 1,800 Roman coins dating back to 307AD were discovered by a metal detectorist at Wold Newton in the Yorkshire Wolds in 2014.   

The coins are currently on display at the Yorkshire Museum in York, but £44,000 needs to be raised to keep the collection there.

Andrew Woods, from the museum, says the coins are classed as "treasure" and so have to be split between the person who found it and the landowner.

Andrew also has another interesting financial fact.

He told me the coins "were a year's wages for a soldier and would have bought 2,000 fish, 700 chickens or 11,000 beers".

I'm out at the scene of the fatal crash on the A64 at Scampston on Friday afternoon in which four people died.

Yorkshire and England batsman Joe Root says his failures in the first Test against Pakistan made him "hungrier", after he scored a career-best 254 in the second.

Root made 48 and nine in the defeat at Lord's, twice falling to loose shots.

He made a Test-best 254 at Old Trafford as England amassed 589-8 before reducing Pakistan to 57-4 on day two.

"They were poor dismissals. I've worked hard this week to take them out of my game. It was very satisfying to finally make one count.

"To be able to bounce back straightaway and make a really big score, that's what you dream of," he told BBC's Test Match Special.

A terminally-ill doctor who raised £250,000 for a Yorkshire cancer charity has died, her husband has confirmed.

From today you can help decide what colour York's landmark Mansion House should be painted.

The Mansion House, the Lord Mayor's residence in York which originally opened in 1732, is currently red and white and is undergoing a £1.6m restoration.

A two-week consultation's begun to decide which colour option, of three available, should be chosen for its redecoration.

Here are the three options (pictured) from left to right: 

• Option 1 – Brick and stone, with a stone-coloured crest
• Option 2 – All stone-coloured, with a coloured crest
• Option 3 – Brick and stone, with a coloured crest

You can let the council know your thoughts by sending them a message via Facebook, external or Twitter, external - using the hashtag #MHYpaint.
