Afternoon, I'm Ricky with your last bulletin on Sunday and it's Mother's

:00:00.:00:08.

Day. What do these bones unearthed in

:00:09.:00:11.

London tell us about the Black Death?

:00:12.:00:13.

And why the lights went out across the world last night.

:00:14.:00:33.

The Guide Dogs charity is calling for a ban on parking on pavements.

:00:34.:00:37.

The charity say it blocks the way for blind people and those who are

:00:38.:00:40.

partially sighted, forcing them to walk into the road putting them at

:00:41.:00:44.

risk of being hit by oncoming traffic. There's already a ban on

:00:45.:00:47.

parking on pavements on most London streets - the charity want the same

:00:48.:00:51.

to happen across the rest of the country.

:00:52.:01:02.

Next, just in time for Mother's Day, an official photo has been released

:01:03.:01:06.

of Prince George with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

:01:07.:01:08.

The pic was taken at their Kensington Palace home, ahead of

:01:09.:01:11.

their royal tour of Australia and New Zealand. Eight-month old baby

:01:12.:01:14.

George is pictured in his mother's arms as Prince William holds their

:01:15.:01:18.

pet dog Lupo. So a happy Mother's Day to Kate and mums everywhere.

:01:19.:01:21.

We're asking you to tell us your plans for the day on the website.

:01:22.:01:38.

Human skeletons dug up in central London have been found to be Black

:01:39.:01:43.

Death victims from the 14th Century when the Great plague swept across

:01:44.:01:46.

Britain and Europe killing millions of people. Archaeologists believe

:01:47.:01:49.

the corpses may be part of an enormous emergency burial pit for

:01:50.:01:52.

thousands of plague victims 600 years ago.

:01:53.:01:53.

Death victims from the 14th Century when the Great plague swept Under

:01:54.:01:54.

this road in London, a grim discovery. The victims of one of the

:01:55.:02:04.

deadliest events in human history. In 1348, the bubonic plague swept

:02:05.:02:10.

across the UK and Europe. The disease killed more than 50 million

:02:11.:02:15.

people. Historic records say those who died in London were buried

:02:16.:02:18.

somewhere in the Farringdon area, but exactly where remained unclear.

:02:19.:02:24.

Until last year, when workers digging to extend the railway came

:02:25.:02:27.

across 25 skeletons. By testing their teeth scientists found traces

:02:28.:02:30.

of the plague bacteria, which means this is the site they have been

:02:31.:02:37.

searching for. Within several days we had uncovered

:02:38.:02:40.

two very carefully laid out rows with carefully spaced burials - not

:02:41.:02:44.

in coffins but in shrouds. The layout suggests that this was

:02:45.:02:46.

possibly the early days of the epidemic when numbers of deaths took

:02:47.:02:57.

some time to build up. These gruesome finds will reveal how

:02:58.:03:00.

ordinary Londoners lived and died during one of the most horrible

:03:01.:03:03.

times in the history of Great Britain. Next, some of the most

:03:04.:03:22.

famous buildings in the world as you've never seen them before.

:03:23.:03:25.

Big Ben and Parliament were plunged into darkness last night alongside

:03:26.:03:27.

other famous landmarks around the world to mark Earth Hour. Cities

:03:28.:03:30.

around the globe switched off their lights to draw attention to the

:03:31.:03:33.

problems of climate change. Organisers said they wanted to

:03:34.:03:36.

demonstrate what people can do to save energy.

:03:37.:03:42.

Next up, thousands of you took part in Sport Relief and a record ?53

:03:43.:03:46.

it. And Grimmie cycled for it. These two sat down a lot, and Alex Jones

:03:57.:04:01.

clung on for it. Loads of celebrities got involved in raising

:04:02.:04:06.

happens next? In the UK, the money goes to help people who are homeless

:04:23.:04:25.

or suffered domestic abuse. Across the world, money raised goes to

:04:26.:04:28.

provide education for children, freshwater and vaccinations.

:04:29.:04:35.

Deciding where the money goes is about as difficult as raising it in

:04:36.:04:39.

the first place. The most important thing is that we use it to do great

:04:40.:04:43.

work, and to help people whose lives can be changed with that extra

:04:44.:04:47.

little bit of an injection of cash. People have to apply to us for the

:04:48.:04:50.

money, against a set of guidelines that we have written up, and then we

:04:51.:04:54.

try to choose the best of those projects to make the biggest

:04:55.:04:57.

difference to the lives of our beneficiaries.

:04:58.:05:00.

So far, more than ?53 million has been raised. It's still coming in.

:05:01.:05:03.

The money will be sent to those in need, and that's not the end because
