26/12/2011 Look North (East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire)

Hello and good afternoon. Police are looking for a man in connection

with an arson at a takeaway in Lincoln. This morning fire

investigators returned to examine the scene of the explosion, on St

Mary's Street in the city centre. Lincolnshire Police say they're

keen to speak to a man seen running away from the premises as the fire

took hold at around 11:45pm on Christmas Day. He was wearing dark

clothing and a black cap. Thousands of shoppers have hit the

high streets across East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire today in search of

a Boxing Day bargain. Retailers up and down the region opened early

and slashed prices to encourage families to head into town and city

centres on a bank holiday. I have actually brought some things

back that I bought before Christmas and I thought I would see what

there was. And hopefully managed to get a nice dress.

I tend to get most of my clothes on Boxing Day because I can't afford

it normally. Because it is the sales you buy out of season. It is

quite important. Everyone is with their family,

everyone is off work so it is a good time to go shopping together.

Now to football and Hull City's good run of form has come to an end.

The Tigers missed out on at point losing 1-0 to Middlesbrough. Barry

Robson scored in the 87th minute for the home side at the Riverside

stadium. In League One, Scunthorpe United lost 3-1 to Bury. The Iron

were leading after five minutes thanks to a headed goal from

defender Shane Duffy. But three goals in the second half meant the

northwest side took all the points. Grimsby Town got the better of the

Lincolnshire derby at Sincil Bank. It was Lincoln City's Conal Platt

who opened the scoring in the first half but the Mariners hit back with

a header from Scott Garner and 10 minutes later top scorer Liam Hearn

put the game beyond doubt. The two sides meet again on New Year's Day.

About 10,000 people attended the horse racing in Market Rasen today.

The Boxing Day event was the first since 2008. For the last two years

the meet has had to be cancelled because of bad weather. Organisers

say today's mild temperature has lured the crowds back to the

racecourse. Absolutely thrilled. The weather

has been fantastic. Logistics, it has gone brilliantly. A really

great crowd, heading towards 10,000. Absolutely delighted.

It is nice. It is friendly. I think there is a lovely crowd

here. There are babies in their pushchairs.

I've had some really happy days here.

It is a lovely day. Disappointing the last couple of years it was

cancelled because of snow but we are making up for it this year.

Mild temperatures meant that more than 30 people took to the sea in

Flamborough in East Yorkshire this morning for the traditional Boxing

Day Dip. Last year around �1,200 was raised for the local school and

organisers are hoping that this years attempt will better that

record. While most of us ever in the pub

for a festive celebration, these brave folk met up to take eight

Boxing Day dip. It may have been mild and sunny but temperatures

went so pleasant when they took the plunge in the harsh North Sea.

Very cold. Very cold. Even though there is no snow, it is still cold.

It takes your breath away and you can't wait to get out.

While some couldn't resist finding out what all the fuss was about,

the others made their way back to the pub for a drink. And now here's

the weather forecast with Sarah It has been a pleasant Boxing Day

across Lincolnshire and East Yorkshire. It stays dry and mild

through this evening and overnight. A large and out of cloud about with

a few clear spells. A fresh wind and temperatures dipping down no

lower than eight Celsius. Tuesday morning is a mild and dry start.

Some sunshine about, particularly towards the coast for cop --.

Cloudier in the West with maximum temperature 10 Celsius.
