of a man who's body was found by the side of a Lincolnshire road

on the A1104 at Ulceby near Louth in January.

A 56-year-old man from the Peterborough area has been

and failing to stop after a road traffic collision.

Hull City Council has admitted it got it wrong by closing the city's

Visitors to the UK City of Culture said they were disappointed to find

places like the Maritime Museum and the Ferens Art Gallery shut.

They will be able to see the attractions for the rest

of the Easter weekend, but the council says

it is likely to open them on Good Friday from next year.

In Hull, the UK City of Culture, there is plenty to see and do.

But for those wanting to visit the museums

and art gallery today, they were left disappointed.

Obviously I work full-time and I've come

today to see the museums, thought I'll take in

Hull City of Culture on a bank holiday so it is quite disappointing

We were expecting to go to the Maritime Museum and other

museums in Hull at the present time so, yes, we were disappointed to

The schools are on holiday so you'd think

It's a shame when there's a lot of people about

but maybe there's other things that they can go

The King family had travelled from Headon for their visit.

It's a shame because that's what we'd planned to do, hadn't we?

To come and see the poppies and the Lego daffodils and

to go in the museum so it is a shame that it's closed.

Yeah, it was really a shame, I was hoping to go in

Hull City Council says that Hull's museums and art gallery

are closed every Good Friday but they'll reopen tomorrow

for the rest of the bank holiday weekend.

In fact, they're open 360 days a year and for longer on

But it's admitted that having them closed today was a mistake.

Obviously it's Good Friday today and they're shut so

probably we got that wrong, we need to look at that for next year.

But I think the thinking was that probably

there's both rugby teams are at home today, there's

lots of other things going on

But what fantastic news that people were

so desperate to use our cultural facilities so we'll learn the lesson

So while families still have the Easter to enjoy the city's

attractions, many feel let down to have a wasted trip today.

Staff at one of Lincoln's oldest shops say they feel

like they are grieving as the store prepares to close for good.

Ruddocks has been run by the same family

It'll shut it's doors for good this weekend blaming poor

trade because of Brexit, internet shopping

It's been in the same place on the high street

We are all feeling very sad and it's a very difficult time.

I would call it, we are actually grieving.

Above all, the staff have been absolutely incredible.

You know, to maintain that professionalism and discipline in

the face of that is just unbelievable.

In sport it was a good day for our football teams.

There were wins for Scunthorpe, Grimsby, Lincoln and North Ferriby.

In rugby league, there was defeat for Hull FC but a win for Hull KR.

A music festival is taking place in Hull next month which celebrates

The two countries were at loggerheads over fishing

rights for many years, in a dispute known as the cod wars.

But they also have a positive shared history.

But what has it got to with Hull, the UK City of Culture?

Well, for one thing, Reykjavik is one of Hull's sister cities.

Through the fishing industry, they traded

with each other for 700 years, sometimes peacefully, sometimes

They were both listed in the world's top

ten cities to visit by Rough Guides in 2016.

It'S even said that the cobblestones in Hull's old town were

But there's cultural links too and that's what I'm here for.

What many people don't realise though is that it has

a sister statue 1,000 miles away in Vik, Iceland.

There is one sculpture on the south coast of Iceland and there is Voyage

North Atlantic Flux, one of the major music festivals

of the City of Culture programme will celebrate

I think you're going to be seeing a good

mixture of what Hull has to offer but also things from the North

Atlantic, you know, it's quite Scandinavian

and then just some of my favourite things from around Britain

because Britain has been instrumental, pun intended, I guess,

in forming my musical DNA and my musical vocabulary throughout

my life so it's a very, very important place for me.

The sea separates us but it also gives us this shared history

and this natural understanding of each

Historically, men from both cities would trawl for fish

in these waters which led to overfishing and a breakdown in

But now through music and art, there's a friendship that thrives on

so many levels, that is what John Grant and his friends

will be celebrating in Hull at North Atlantic

Flux and that is why I will be there at the front of the crowd.

of Britain's City of Culture show on the BBC News channel tonight

There are plenty of chances to see it over the Easter Weekend.

Here are the details on your screen now.

And we'll make sure that's on our Facebook page too.

Let's get the weather forecast now, here is Paul.

Well, it's the typical mixed bag for the bank holiday weekend.

A fair few showers around this evening, they'll tend to die away

as we head into the night time with clear spells becoming more

widespread and lighter winds as well.

So temperatures will drop down to a fairly chilly four

Bit of a chilly start tomorrow then and it's a day

One or two showers coming through on a

Having said that, I think most places will

probably stay dry and hang onto some brighter weather tomorrow.

It's never going to feel that warm though,

we will see temperatures typically around 11

or 12 Celsius through the afternoon

and those numbers tempered by that brisk north-westerly breeze.

So, that's the way it's looking for tomorrow.

Another cold night tomorrow night, maybe even a touch of frost

And then for Easter Sunday, a lot of cloud around.

Outbreaks of rain spreading in from the north-west to affect

most parts through the course of the day with temperatures

Then it's all change again as that rain clears away

on Sunday night and we're back into sunshine and showers

So most places see some bright spells,

and a cool northerly breeze for Easter Monday.

Remember you can keep up-to-date with the forecast

Thank you. That is all from Look North tonight. There is that British

city of culture programme on the news channel at 8:30pm this evening.

We are back at 10:20pm tonight. Until then, have a good evening.

Goodbye. To think that this time last

weekend, temperatures were in the 20s. They got up to 25.5. Much

cooler across the country this weekend. And this headline is true

for the weather next week. That cool air stream from the north will

persist. The mild air tries to get in, but never really wins. What have

we got for the rest of today? The rain we had across Wales earlier

will move southwards, but once the rain reaches you, it will be much

lighter. Across many northern areas, the skies will clear up altogether.

It will be a nippy night. Certainly a touch of frost northern areas, but

not in the south. There will be wintry showers
