:04:35. > :04:39.The police have given us some advice. If you must drive tonight
:04:39. > :04:43.or in the morning, remove eyes from your windscreens before you leave
:04:43. > :04:48.the house, keep your fog lights on and increase your braking distances

:04:54. > :04:58.do not have to drive, do not do it. The accident on the A15 and the one
:04:58. > :05:02.last night on the M62, there were no major injuries. But that does
:05:02. > :05:05.not always have to be the case. What was your experience of

:06:08. > :06:11.years, your Majesty has given dedicated and exemplary service to
:06:11. > :06:14.the people of this country and the Commonwealth.
:06:14. > :06:16.After the address, the Queen went to spend time with children from
:06:16. > :06:19.the nearby Dersingham Infant and Nursery School. And today, people
:06:19. > :06:22.across our area have been re- counting their Royal memories. Phil
:06:22. > :06:26.Connell has the stories of those who have met the Queen in person,
:06:26. > :06:36.as well as those who remember the day in 1952 when a young princess
:06:36. > :06:36.
:06:36. > :06:43.became Queen. That slide is lower as the news
:06:43. > :06:49.spreads. The king is dead. For it was the sixth February, 1952. A
:06:49. > :06:53.dramatic news broadcast that would trigger weeks of morning. In our
:06:53. > :06:59.hearts we feel this cannot be. There was this mournful music on
:06:59. > :07:05.the radio. Programmes were suspended due to the death of his
:07:05. > :07:11.Majesty the King. Melbourne Randall was just seven years old but still
:07:11. > :07:15.remembers the day that was to change the life of a young princess.
:07:15. > :07:23.Everything stopped and the bus driver's, if I remember rightly,
:07:23. > :07:30.got out of their cabs. They stood for two minutes. I remember
:07:30. > :07:37.standing in a classroom for the silence and my teacher turned away
:07:37. > :07:40.at the end to wipe a tear from her eye. In the years that followed,
:07:40. > :07:44.the Queen was to revolutionise the monarchy with visits across
:07:44. > :07:48.Yorkshire and Lincolnshire providing many memorable moments.
:07:48. > :07:53.It was this engagement in 1981 which most in our area will
:07:53. > :07:59.remember best. I am very pleased to have been invited to open the
:07:59. > :08:04.Humber Bridge today. In the background that day were members of
:08:04. > :08:09.the police band, many of whom, 31 years on, can still remember the
:08:09. > :08:15.logistical problems the royal visit caused. She then went whizzing past
:08:15. > :08:18.and we had to pack up. Because of the security, we have to is a off
:08:18. > :08:23.down the sides, pack up all the gear up and return to the Guild

:08:27. > :08:33.the Queen that day was Julia Thompson, neither band's longest
:08:33. > :08:39.serving member. It was such an honour. Representing the area was
:08:39. > :08:44.great. Just to play for the Queen, wonderful. While millions may have
:08:44. > :08:49.seen the Queen, not many have had the chance to invite her for tea.
:08:49. > :08:55.In 1999, Terry and Stella Cooney did just that, with Her Majesty
:08:55. > :09:05.dropping into their council house. She liked Yorkshire Water. Very

:09:34. > :09:37.Lincoln County Hospital that it must improve. The Care Quality
:09:37. > :09:42.Commission says it found unacceptable failings on one ward
:09:42. > :09:49.during an unannounced visit. Our communities correspondent is here.
:09:49. > :09:54.What problems did the inspectors find?
:09:54. > :09:58.The inspection was carried out last November and they looked at five

:10:06. > :10:11.had been left in a degrading situation for more than 30 minutes

:10:24. > :10:29.What of the hospital said? Height of the five words, only one
:10:29. > :10:32.was found to be feeling. But they admit it is unacceptable. We spoke
:10:32. > :10:40.to the medical director this afternoon and he said progress is
:10:40. > :10:47.already being made. I have been on Clayton wards. It is very busy. It
:10:47. > :10:51.was calm. The patients were getting proper care. We have measures in

:10:56. > :10:59.are getting the best possible care and we will continue to improve.
:10:59. > :11:04.This latest report from the Care Quality Commission comes after a
:11:04. > :11:09.whole series of critical reports last year from one of the trust
:11:09. > :11:12.other possibles, Boston Pilgrim. They have had another inspection
:11:12. > :11:15.and that report is due out soon. It apparently shows the progress has

:11:35. > :11:40.racist abuse against the Archbishop of York following comments he made
:11:40. > :11:44.about gay marriage. Dr John Sentamu sparked protests when he said

:15:02. > :15:08.freezing fog showed a lift through the morning. It will be bright in

:16:13. > :16:17.creating some waste. But Charmaine Morgan from Grantham says plans to

:16:31. > :16:35.get to the local tip to do it properly or we will see an increase
:16:35. > :16:38.in dumping. The need will not go away just because the council has
:16:38. > :16:45.decided that break -- that they will allow people to opt out of the
:16:45. > :16:50.schemes. 26,000 residents have opted into the scheme to have their

:23:42. > :23:48.
:23:48. > :23:52.you are planning to do to celebrate When East Yorkshire and
:23:52. > :23:57.Lincolnshire were cut to a blanket of snow yesterday, many people went
:23:57. > :24:02.out with their cameras. Thank you for all of your pictures. A
:24:02. > :24:12.professional landscape photographer from a Hessle, Ivor Innes, has been
:24:12. > :24:14.
:24:14. > :24:22.I am very attracted to it. I cannot put my finger on why because it
:24:22. > :24:28.breaks a lot of laws of composition. In other ways, it is quite strong.
:24:28. > :24:35.To film a bird, you have to be quick. You have got to be there in
:24:35. > :24:39.the moment. You have got to hope the camera works! Everybody takes
:24:39. > :24:47.pictures of the Snowman, especially when the children are outside. They
:24:47. > :24:53.are great fun and very humorous. This is a lovely picture. This is
:24:53. > :24:56.the one of the river and the snow looks very good when you have some
:24:56. > :25:02.sun, particularly in the winter when the sun is quite golden. This
:25:02. > :25:08.one has got some lovely golden feelings about it. A great shot
:25:08. > :25:13.there! Anyone can take a great photograph with any camera. First
:25:13. > :25:20.of all, you have to decide what you are going to photograph and way you
:25:20. > :25:25.are going to take it from. Light is a very important part of taking a
:25:25. > :25:30.photograph. We are using mystery as our subject and we are going to
:25:30. > :25:34.shoot directly into the light of -- we are using this three. My final
:25:34. > :25:38.tip is to be patient. If you are photographing an animal, you have
:25:38. > :25:48.to be quick. Sometimes if you wait a bit longer, you will get a much
:25:48. > :25:49.
:25:49. > :25:53.better shot. I have got the shot now.
:25:54. > :25:58.That is Ivor Innes's picture. Thank you once again for all of your
:25:58. > :26:05.pictures. A recap of the main national and regional headlines:
:26:05. > :26:09.Syria's army mounts the heaviest attack on the country's 11 months

:26:13. > :26:18.drivers in our area for driving too fast as gritters Haddad again

:26:31. > :26:37.On the subject of driving conditions, thank you for your
:26:37. > :26:41.responses. Someone says, we travelled from Skegness to Hull and
:26:41. > :26:45.Sheffield, every road was well gritted. Well done to the
:26:45. > :26:50.council's! Another from Lincoln, an easy journey today, it is the side
:26:50. > :26:56.roads that are not good. People should learn how to drive properly
:26:56. > :27:03.and stop learning about -- stop moaning about the local councils.
:27:03. > :27:06.It should be part of the Test, skidding. Stop moaning! I drove to
:27:06. > :27:11.Scunthorpe this morning at around 9am and I found the majority of
:27:11. > :27:16.drivers either had no lights on at Old or have their sidelights on
:27:16. > :27:19.which was not enough. Please, reiterate how important it is for
:27:20. > :27:24.all drivers to have their headlights and rear fog lights on
:27:24. > :27:29.in this type of weather. Finally, drivers should be fined
