  3. Judge ponders decision on naming Spalding killers

    Alex Rhodes

    BBC Lincolnshire Live

    A judge will rule on whether the identities of two teenagers convicted of a double murder in Lincolnshire can be revealed. 

    Elizabeth Edwards and her daughter Katie were killed by a boy and girl in Spalding in April. 

    The two teenagers are thought to be the youngest couple to ever be convicted of double murder, but because they are both 15, they cannot be named by law. 

    The judge will consider the arguments for and against the public naming and give a ruling later.

    That means a ban on naming the teenagers will stay in place when they're sentenced tomorrow.

  4. Your chance to 'adopt a phone box'

  7. BreakingCyclist killed in accident was Spalding GP

    Carla George

    BBC Local Live, Lincolnshire

    A cyclist killed in a crash with a double-decker bus is believed to have been Spalding GP Dr Charles Lennon. 

    It's thought Dr Lennon, 60, who retired from Munro Medical Centre just nine days ago, was cycling near the A15 in Thurlby near Bourne when the incident happened. 

    In an interview with the Spalding Guardian at the time of his retirement, he said "It's just been a process of realising that you can't go on forever and when David Bowie died in January, it made me think that you don't live forever." 

    The driver of the bus, a 43-year-old local man, was shocked but not injured.

    Children across the country are having flu vaccines after the success of a pilot with schools in our region. 

    Three years ago, East Yorkshire and Northern Lincolnshire schools took part in a scheme which is now being rolled out nationwide. 

    Years one and three will be offered the vaccine.

  9. Court debate over naming teenage Spalding killers

    Alex Rhodes

    BBC Lincolnshire Live

    A judge is hearing legal arguments on whether two teenagers convicted of the murder of mother and daughter Elizabeth and Katie Edwards in Spalding should be named.

    The defence team representing the two teenagers has argued that an application to name them "will not help their rehabilitation". 

    They say publicity would only act as a punishment, and that is the purpose of them being detained. 

    Elizabeth and Katie Edwards

    Later, a legal team representing a number of national newspapers will argue there is a public interest in naming the pair as they will be back in court tomorrow for sentencing.

    It's not quite as big as Lincoln Castle's - but Sleaford has a poppy wave! 

    There's a mixture of red and white flowers outside Quarrington Vets to commemorate the animals who were killed in active service.

    The poppies are made of recycled plastic bottles and will be auctioned off for charity.

    You've still got time to bid for a poppy if you want to - it closes on the 13 November.
