Gabby Adcock from Leeds and her husband Chris will play in the mixed doubles. It's been a hugely successful combination so far as Dave Edwards reports.

It will be a private service for immediate family only, followed by a function for invited guests.

However, the cortege will follow a route around Jo's constituency, which will see it slow at two locations to allow members of the public to pay their respects.

From approximately 10:30, the cortege will follow a route along the A638 in Heckmondwike towards a slow-down point on Westgate/Market Street.

The cortege will then continue towards Batley where shortly after there will be a further slow-down point on Market Place/Cambridge Street before it leaves Batley.

Mrs Cox’s family has asked that they be allowed to grieve privately then.

As that evening commute kicks in traffic is very busy on South Accommodation Road, in Leeds, in both directions at the Knowsthorpe Crescent junction.

Products like Wensleydale cheese and Yorkshire forced rhubarb have a special status under EU law which adds value to their products. 

It took Wensleydale seven years to get the award, and producers want action to protect jobs and profits after the EU referendum vote which may mean they lose their special status under EU law.

A new way of cooking - and heating our homes - could be rolled out in Leeds before anywhere else in the country. 

The idea is to replace natural gas that comes through gas pipes with hydrogen, which experts say is better for the environment. 

I've been finding out more:

There are just a few hours to go until the gates open for this year's Great Yorkshire Show. 

The annual event near Harrogate is an opportunity for our region to show off its livestock, food and drink - as well as much more - to thousands of visitors from all over the world. 

Charles Mills is the show's director and spoke to BBC Radio Leeds this morning.

People across Kirklees are recycling a lot less than they used to – and the figures come as controversial changes to tipping waste in Kirklees come into force today.

A staggering 10,200 tonnes is the difference in our household recycling waste today compared to five years ago.

The parents of a man who died when his car was struck at high speed have put the wreckage on display at Westminster today as part of a campaign  for stiffer sentences by the West Yorkshire charity Brake.

Brake is using the dramatic display to call for drivers who kill to be charged with manslaughter, rather than causing death by dangerous or careless driving.   

We asked motorists in Leeds, what they thought the sentence should be for drivers whose criminality kills?

Yorkshire singer Kate Rusby was live in session on The Durbervilles Folk & Roots Show on BBC Radio Leeds last night.
