Good afternoon. Welcome to the North. The first

marriage in Hull between a couple of the same sex will be held this

afternoon, after a change in the law came into force at midnight. Sammy

Spence and Jenna Middleton planned their wedding to coincide with the

new law, a move which is being repeated by hundreds of couples

across England and Wales. Their ceremony will be held at the

Guildhall in Hull. So far no Guildhall in Hull. So far no

religious organisations have approached councils in East

Yorkshire and Lincolnshire to apply to hold same sex weddings.

Fire officers have held a protest march and rally in Hull today over

plans to cut more than two million pounds from the service. East Hull

First Station will lose one fire engine. The number of officers on

board Hull's other engines will reduce from five to four under plans

by Chief Officer of the Humberside Fire and Rescue Service. Taking that

individual off the appliance, there is few circumstances which will

allow an individual to enter a burning building. We'll have to wait

for someone else to come and attend. So he can see this significance. ``

you can. The service has said it will not

affect response times. One of the darkest days for Lincolnshire bomber

crews in World War Two is being marked. Tomorrow is the 70th

anniversary of the Nuremberg raids in which Britain lost 94 planes and

537 airmen. 19 squadrons from 16 Lincolnshire bases were part of the

raid. A remembrance event is being held at the East Kirkby aviation

centre, which was set up by the sons of one of the men who died that

night, in memory of their father. A group of dancers and actors

performed in Hull this morning to promote the start of the week`long

Hull and East Yorkshire Festival of Tourism. They did three seaside

themed dances in city centre locations in a style known as

flash`mob ` where members of the public are taken by surprise by an

apparently impromptu performance. Football now. Steve Bruce the Hull

City Manager says today's opponents Stoke are in the same position as

Hull ` jostling for position to try to stay in the Premier League. Hull

are playing their reserve goal keeper this afternoon at the KC

stadium after Allan McGregor was seriously injured in the game with

West Ham on Wednesday night. Everybody else is up for grabs. We

are all jostling away and trying to make sure we all get over the line.

Stoke had a wonderful result last week, the best result they have had

in the Premier league so they will be uplifted by that.

the weather forecast Jennifer Bartram. Good afternoon. Spring is

in the air this afternoon for many of us, a very pleasant day with some

hazy sunshine. That sunshine will not be everywhere, some parts of the

coast, especially in East Yorkshire, will hang onto the cloud. Apart from

that we will have sunshine. The temperature should respond well,

1516 degrees possibly. This evening and overnight, the cloud will build

and we will icy patches of mist and fog. Some of those will be dense by

tomorrow morning. It will be a mild night. Keeping the moderate easterly

breeze. On Sunday, a decent start with sunshine again, cloudier on the

coast with highs of 17 degrees. That's all for now. Goodbye.

Good afternoon. The clocks go forward by one hour tonight, British

Summer Time begins. Hard to believe that this was the scene exactly one

year ago in North Wales when we were in the grip of one of the coldest

springs for many a decade. A different story this weekend, of

course, with warm air wafting up from the near continent, and under

clear skies the temperatures soaring. It is not clear everywhere,

we have a lot of cloud further north and west, and with a damp start

across some areas, that cloud is thinning and trickling away,

brightening up here through
