Scores of men and women from our region have been named

in the Queen's New Year's Honour's list.

Successful Olympians and Paralympians are especially well

represented, but some people have also been recognised for their work

:00:19.:00:21.

It's been a fantastic year for Yorkshire's

:00:22.:00:35.

sporting men and women, who've picked up trophies

:00:36.:00:37.

It is no surprise, then, that they feature heavily

:00:38.:00:42.

Heptathlete Jessica Ennis-Hill got the highest of the honours.

:00:43.:00:45.

And who could forget this proud Yorkshireman?

:00:46.:00:52.

NEWSREEL: Among the four Britons is Brian Robinson,

:00:53.:00:54.

who, with his brother, Desmond...

:00:55.:00:56.

60 years after becoming the first Briton to win a stage

:00:57.:00:59.

in the Tour de France, Brian Robinson has received

:01:00.:01:01.

the British Empire Medal for his services to cycling and charity.

:01:02.:01:06.

The guys I was with, I was with a dozen guys

:01:07.:01:13.

and they said, though, we're not going to call

:01:14.:01:15.

So, things like that are quite amusing, really.

:01:16.:01:21.

Seriously, it is a nice award at the end of a career, it is great.

:01:22.:01:28.

A British Empire Medal, too, for Penderfield Hospital play

president and worked hard to fight racism in the workplace.

:01:42.:01:44.

What I have done over the last 40 years, so can you.

:01:45.:01:49.

Don't accept no as an answer from anyone.

:01:50.:01:52.

2016 has been a year to remember and celebrate.

:01:53.:01:59.

Making us proud and making a difference.

:02:00.:02:11.

Norman Rimmington - known as Mr Barnsley

:02:12.:02:13.

and who died this week - was also named in the

:02:14.:02:16.

Fans and players paid tribute to Norman before

:02:17.:02:20.

He joined the club in 1945 and worked as a player,

:02:21.:02:25.

assistant manager, groundsman, physio and kit man.

:02:26.:02:28.

Before he died, aged 93, Norman was told he'd receive

:02:29.:02:32.

He was Yorkshire through and through.

:02:33.:02:39.

Even from the first day that we met him.

:02:40.:02:43.

And everybody would do anything for him.

:02:44.:02:47.

And everybody would listen to Norman.

:02:48.:02:49.

He had his own way of talking to people.

:02:50.:02:51.

There will never be another Norman Rimington.

:02:52.:02:56.

I can't see anybody stopping at the club for 60, 70 years,

:02:57.:03:00.

At the end of the day, he is a Barnsley legend.

:03:01.:03:05.

To stay at the club for 71 years, doing various roles in the club.

:03:06.:03:10.

He has been a member of the club, he has been our laundry man,

:03:11.:03:15.

And we just wanted to lay a bit of respect.

:03:16.:03:18.

In modern-day football, you don't see anybody else like him.

:03:19.:03:22.

There's not a lot more I can say about a man like that.

:03:23.:03:30.

Detectives investigating an incident where a police officer and member

:03:31.:03:34.

of the public were shot in Bradford have made more arrests.

:03:35.:03:38.

Yesterday, this footage was released of the incident outside

:03:39.:03:41.

One man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder

:03:42.:03:45.

and three others on suspicion of assisting an offender.

:03:46.:03:49.

Another man questioned has been released on bail.

:03:50.:03:54.

In the Championship, Barnsley let a two goal slip

:03:55.:03:58.

Goals from Nakhi Wells and Adam Reach - both four

:03:59.:04:03.

minutes into injury time - earned Huddersfield

:04:04.:04:05.

and Sheffield Wednesday draws against Blackburn and Preston.

:04:06.:04:10.

Sheffield United are top of League One going into 2017.

:04:11.:04:12.

They left it late to beat Northampton 1-0.

:04:13.:04:14.

In League Two, Doncaster came from behind to draw 1-1 at Mansfield.

:04:15.:04:24.

Here's Paul with the forecast for New Year's Day.

:04:25.:04:27.

Quite mild as well but we have got a weather front bringing rain down

:04:28.:04:33.

from the North West, into Leeds around midnight and it

:04:34.:04:35.

really makes for a very wet night in the making.

:04:36.:04:37.

A bit of sleet as it starts to clear over the Pennines.

:04:38.:04:40.

The lowest temperatures three or four degrees.

:04:41.:04:43.

So, New Year's Day is off to really quite a wet start.

:04:44.:04:46.

A bit of sleet or wet snow over the highest ground.

:04:47.:04:49.

A gradual improvement feeding down from the north.

:04:50.:04:52.

The afternoon looks brighter with sunshine and a few showers.

:04:53.:04:54.

That's all we have time for this evening.

:04:55.:05:01.

We're back on New Year's Day just before 7pm.

:05:02.:05:15.

wonderful New Year. You can keep up with all the best. Happy New Year.

:05:16.:05:16.

Good evening. As we head through the final few hours of 2016 the weather

:05:17.:05:23.

is on the change. We've got called her swooping in and there is a

:05:24.:05:31.

weather front bringing a soggy New Year's Eve. It is raining across

:05:32.:05:34.

southern Scotland and Northern Ireland and that will push south as

:05:35.:05:37.

we head towards parts of northern England. Showers moving in from the

:05:38.:05:41.

North Southwark
