There'll be a chilly start to the day on Saturday, with a few overnight showers lingering, but many parts will start dry with some sunshine.

More showers will eventually push in from the south-west, some of which could be heavy and thundery.

Highs of about 16C (61F).

Sunday should be largely dry, and feel a bit warmer.

Police say they were unable to locate a man who reportedly jumped into a river near the A47 earlier.

The road was closed between Guyhirn and Rings End while a search was carried out.

It's now re-opened, but queues remain.

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has been in Peterborough this afternoon to gather support for his party ahead of next month's general election.

He addressed the public at Peterborough United, where he set out his plans for if he wins, starting by saying that he would "revamp mental health care".

He also vowed to "protect winter fuel payments" and "triple-lock pensions" - something he said "no other party is promising".

On Conservative plans to introduce a means test for the winter fuel allowance, Mr Corbyn said it would cause "great hardship" and anxiety for millions of pensioners.

The politician was also quick to criticise many more of the Conservative pledges that came out in their manifesto yesterday, describing the document as "extraordinary in its extraordinariness".

He claimed the Tories were "under funding schools", which was "holding individuals and the country back".

Afterwards the Labour leader met with supporters. He told the BBC he was confident Labour would win seats in the east of England.

Cambridgeshire Police says the A47 is closed between Guyhirn and Rings End following reports a man jumped into the river.

A search is under way.

Officers are advising drivers to avoid the area.

Expect delays if you're heading on the A47. It's currently shut between Guyhirn and Rings End.

We've got calls in to the emergency services and will update you when we know more.

...You might not get it.

Luckily no-one was hurt when this delivery van ended up in a ditch near Great Gransden, police say.

Officers can't guarantee you'll get your parcels today though. They don't do deliveries.

A resident living in Great Shelford has told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire her black bin has not been emptied for about six weeks.

It comes as news that three months since new rubbish collection rounds were introduced across Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire, pick-ups are still bring frequently missed.

The first three days of this week saw collections missed on 75 streets in total.

The two councils combined bin services back in February to cut 20,000 miles and save £700,000 over three years. The changes in February saw bin days change for 130,000 households across the area.

But Robin - one of the residents affected by the change - says her blue bin is being collected, but her black bin isn't.

"The council say they're going to recollect but they never do," she said.

"The rubbish is just piling up outside the house. What else are we supposed to do?

"The blue bin has been collected like clockwork, so it's not like they can't find the house."

Mike Hill, who oversees the joint council collections, said "99.5% of bins are collected", but said there was "room for improvement".

"Operation problems like vehicle breakdowns and bad traffic are some of the reasons why bins may not be collected," he said.

The BBC is running an election panel, asking voters for their thoughts ahead of 8 June.

We asked:

Labour has proposed the railways should be re-nationalised. What are your views? What other transport or infrastructure issues need tackling, in your view, if any?

And you said:

Amanda, Peterborough: "I do not really have an opinion on this as I never use the railways. However, if it lowers the price for commuters and travellers then it may be a good thing."

Marilyn Samuel, Luton: "I agree to Labour's policy to propose to re-nationalise the railways and I agree to keep fares down and at a fair price, more affordable and a reliable transport system."

Barbara, Chelmsford: "I think that railways are great as they're now. No changes needed."

Jonathan, Norwich: "It would take billions to overhaul the railways, maybe the money would be better spent on trams going into major cities at affordable prices."

Jade, Southend: "Buses and trains need upgrading and a better service. If they want less people to drive cars, public transports need a lot of improvement."

Malcolm Younger, Ipswich: "If a nationalised railway could work cheaply and efficiently I would be for it. But don't think that they can so should be left as they are."

The scorer of the fastest hat-trick in football, Tommy Ross, has died, one of his former football clubs has said.

Ross, who spent a spell at Peterborough United, held the Guinness World Record for three goals scored in 90 seconds while he was playing for Scotland's Ross County against Nairn County in November 1964.

His death has been announced by Tain club, St Duthus FC, which he managed. He was 70.

Inver-born Ross also played for English clubs including Wigan Athletic and York City.

St Duthus posted tributes to the hat-trick hero on social media.

The club tweeted: "Everyone at St Duthus Football Club wishes to extend their deepest and most heartfelt sympathies to Tommy's family and close friends at this difficult time."

Ross County has retweeted the tribute.

The mother of missing serviceman Corrie Mckeague, who was last seen in Bury St Edmunds on the morning of 24 September, says she will never give up searching for her son.

Speaking days after police said they'll extend their search for him at the landfill site in Cambridgeshire for at least another three weeks, Nicola Urquhart said: "It's my son. I'll never ever stop searching for him.

"That doesn't mean I expect the police to search forever. I'm realistic, I know there will come a time when they have to stop but it doesn't mean that I'll ever stop.

"Until they've either found him, or I've got every answer I could possibly get and just now there's still far, far too many unanswered questions for us.

"It's almost like we've not let ourselves lose him yet. We're still looking for him - we're realistic but we've not lost him yet. We're still looking for him."

The brother of Corrie Mckeague, the RAF Honington airman who disappeared after a night out in Bury St Edmunds last September, says the continuing search of the landfill site at Milton is tough on the family.

Makeyan Mckeague (pictured) said: "The hardest time is when it floods back to you that your brother is missing.

"You focus on it 24/7, you can't do anything.

"You just become paralysed by the idea that this person's not in your life any more, you're not going to have them at the big events.

"It's very difficult to try and actually think about [the fact] that Corrie's missing."

Police have said they'll continue to search the site for at least three more weeks.

Today will see plenty of cloud with outbreaks of rain and it will turn more showery in the afternoon. Some brighter intervals may develop later.

It will be rather breezy, although winds will ease through the afternoon.
