Firefighters found at end of rainbow
Popular folklore tells us we might find a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow or even a mythical leprechaun, but back down to Earth here in Cambridgeshire you're more likely to find these three cheeky chaps from the county's fire and rescue service.
A few of these spectacular double rainbows have been seen across parts of East Anglia this week, but if you're not sure how we get two of them, there's a nice little video that explains it all right here.

The black Mercedes C 200 - with six men inside - had fled the scene of a burglary in Cavell Road, Norwich, before crashing 55 miles away in Six Mile Bottom, in Cambridgeshire, on Wednesday night.
Officers had pursued the car from the A11 in Norfolk, on to the A14 towards Newmarket in Suffolk and into Cambridgeshire - when it started to go the wrong way along the A11 before turning round in the right direction.
Norfolk police said one man remains in Addenbrooke's Hospital, in Cambridge, while the other two patients were being treated at the West Suffolk Hospital in Bury St Edmunds.
Five men were arrested at the crash scene on the A11, but two of the seriously injured men have been "de-arrested", while in hospital, police said.
The three others have been released under investigation while inquiries continue, the force said.
The incident has been referred to the Independent Office of Police Conduct.
A man who died a week after he was hit by a car which had mounted a pavement in Braintree has been named by police as 29-year-old Ryan Lynch.
Mr Lynch, who lived in Braintree, was on South Street, near Kwik Fit, at about 15:30 on 8 April when an white Audi R8 struck him.
He died on 15 April.
Mr Lynch's parent's, Tony and Karen, said: "John was a dearly loved son, brother, uncle, partner and truly was a great friend to anyone who knew him."
A 35-year-old man from Halstead and a 35-year-old man from Braintree were arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving and released under investigation.

Great East Run sells out
This year's Great East Run in Suffolk has sold out - with 3,500 people signed up.
Great Run CompanyCopyright: Great Run Company
The half marathon takes place on Sunday, 16 September, starting and finishing on Russell Road in Ipswich, via Holywells Park, the waterfront, Wherstead Road, The Strand and Freston Hill.
It's the second year the event has been held in Ipswich.
Alex Jackson, of the Great Run Company, said: "We’ll continue to work with our local partners to ensure the event can grow and attract more runners from both around the region and throughout the UK in the years to come."
A postmistress from Devon has celebrated two years in the job by travelling to the most southern, northern, western and eastern post offices in the UK, with the added challenge of not paying for her travel.
Joanna Giles, who works at Ashburton Post Office, has already raised more than £2,000 for Cancer Research UK and Ashburton Arts, which brings performing arts and cultural activities to local community.
Her journey involved a vast amount of walking, supplemented by planes, trains and ferries - with some organisations offering her free tickets along the way.
Joanna visited St Agnes Post Office in Scilly (most southerly), Belleek Post Office (most westerly), Baltasound Post Office (most northerly) and North Lowestoft Post Office (most easterly).
