Well that's about all we've got time for today - thanks for spending the last few hours in our company. We're back again with our Local Live service from 07:00 on Monday.    

In the meantime, here are five things we've learnt in North Yorkshire today:  

1. Soldiers in York joined a national two-minute silence to remember the nation's war dead for Armistice Day
2. Further cracks have appeared in the ground and on walls at the site of a large sinkhole which appeared behind a row of houses in Ripon earlier this week
3. About 50 people were evacuated from a business park in a North Yorkshire village, external earlier after a "major" gas leak was discovered
4. Children seeking asylum say a safe haven in North Yorkshire has changed their lives
5. And BBC Look North presenters, more used to being "on-air", are instead going up into it 

We started today with a beautiful pic of a rainbow so, in an attempt at book-ending today, I want to finish with this rare upside-down one:

This one was spotted by BBC Weather Watcher, Charlee, over a remembrance service in Sutton-in-Craven.

Here's a fun fact to finish with: upside-down rainbows aren't technically rainbows.

My friend, Doctor David Schultz, the chair of synoptic meteorology at the University of Manchester, once explained to me that usual rainbows are caused by the bending of light and separation of the colours through raindrops falling out of clouds.

Meanwhile, upside-down ones appear when sunlight refracts through ice crystals, held in cirrus clouds...And they're actually called Circumzenithal Arcs.   

On that colourful bit of meteorological information I'll say goodbye. See you Monday.

Armistice Day events have taken place around North Yorkshire and across the country to mark the moment in 1918 when the guns finally fell silent at the end of World War One.

I attended the service held at the North Eastern Railway War Memorial at Station Rise in York and met Ken Smith, secretary of York Normandy Veterans, and Marie Taylor, the Standard Bearer of the York branch of the Royal Marine Association:

Ken Smith is one of only four remaining York Normandy Veterans. 

After the service he headed off to sell poppies:

A total of 12 houses remain evacuated in Ripon this afternoon following the appearance on Wednesday night of a large sinkhole at the back of a row of houses on Magdalen's Road.

The fire service and council representatives have told BBC Radio York there's been some more movement in the ground overnight, with a number of further cracks appearing in the ground and on walls.

It's not the first such hole that Ripon's experienced, however.

In February 2014, a hole appeared just round the corner at Magdalen's Close which led to the demolition of one property.

But why is Ripon prone to sink holes? Here's an explanation from Doctor Vanessa Banks from the British Geological Survey:

More than 40,000 knitted poppies have been placed on a Remembrance Day parade route in Thirsk, North Yorkshire.

Two men are being sought by North Yorkshire Police after a shoplifting incident in Whitby last month, external.

It happened at about 16:00 on Monday 24 October at the Lidl store on Stakesby Road  and involved two men who entered the store before leaving without paying for goods. 

The men then ran from the area towards Love Lane.

People are asked to take a look at the CCTV images below and contact the police if they recognise either man pictured:

Emergency services at the site of a huge sinkhole in Ripon, say their main concern at the moment is the impact of forecast rain in the area.

The holed opened up on Magdalen's Road at about 22:30 on Wednesday night, destroying two gardens and leading to the evacuation of 12 homes.

Ben Cairns, from North Yorkshire Fire Service, says everybody's now awaiting advice from geological experts about what might happen if the forecast heavy rain arrives as expected.

This was the scene at Imphal Barracks in York at 11:00 this morning as soldiers joined the national two-minute silence to remember the nation's war dead for Armistice Day.

Children seeking asylum say a safe haven in North Yorkshire has changed their lives.

A small number of teenagers who'd been living in the so-called "Jungle" camp in Calais have arrived in the county in the last fortnight.

Now, a number of different agencies are working together to make a plan for their long-term future, including access to health and social care services.

They're getting help from doctors, psychologists and social workers to work out the new arrivals' needs and how they can be looked after safely in future.   

James Cliffe from the No Wrong Door care service says support from the community is valuable:

About 50 people were evacuated from a business park in a North Yorkshire village, external earlier after a "major" gas leak was discovered.

The leak, at premises on Station Road, Brompton-on-Swale, near Richmond, happened at about 09:00, say police.

Nearby houses were not evacuated, although local residents were advised to keep windows and doors closed while Northern Gas engineers worked at the scene.

The leak has now been resolved and people from the businesses were allowed to return at about 10:10.

Businesses and local residents in the area are warned if they smell gas, not to switch on any electrical appliances or lights and to open doors and windows before calling the fire service.

I'm in Ripon for the very latest on the sinkhole which appeared on Magdalen's Street late on Wednesday evening, which swallowed two gardens and led to the evacuation of 12 homes.

The fire service and council representatives here tell me there has been some movement in the ground overnight, with a number of further cracks appearing in the ground and on walls.    

They say it may be due to earth settling into the cavity after the hole opened up.

Cracks on the ground from Thursday have been marked with blue paint, with fresh cracks emerging overnight marked in yellow.    

British Geological Society experts are expected to attend the scene today to help assess the ground on Magdalen's Road.

A two-minute silence is about to be observed across North Yorkshire and the UK later to remember the nation's war dead for Armistice Day.

Prince Harry will lay a wreath at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire for the commemorations.

Silence falls at 11:00 to remember servicemen and women killed in conflict.

Armistice Day falls each year on 11 November to mark the day in 1918 when the fighting in World War One was stopped.

A gas leak at a business park in Brompton-on-Swale near Catterick is "all under control now", according to North Yorkshire Police.

Engineers from Northern Gas have isolated the gas supply and for the time being are remaining on site.

Fire crews have now left the area.

People across North Yorkshire are preparing to mark Armistice Day as part of a two-minute silence observed across the UK later to remember the nation's war dead.

I'm back in Ripon this morning to find out the latest on the sinkhole which appeared on Magdalen's Road in the city on Wednesday night.

The fire service, Harrogate Borough Council and geological experts were called in and 12 houses in total were evacuated.

It's not the first time this kind of thing has happened in Ripon. The last time was in 2014 in nearby Magdalen's Close, when a house had to be demolished.

The British Geological Survey says it's a susceptible area because of the gypsum deposits.

Ian Spier, emergency planning manager at Harrogate Borough Council, tells me they're now trying to determine whether the area around the sinkhole is stable:

The premises have been evacuated and local residents in nearby homes are being advised to keep their window and doors closed for the moment.
