Lincoln City are back in the Football League

for the first time in six seasons after they secured the National

The Imps beat Macclesfield 2-1 to make sure of promotion in front

Our sports reporter, Simon Clark, was there.

Here I am standing on what is going to be a Football League pitch,

because Lincoln City have done it, and they have done it

with two games to spare - they are promoted as champions

It didn't all go their way today, though - Macclesfield took the lead,

a decent shot as well, but when the chips were down,

it came down to a young man who once upon a time played

What an equaliser from him, real grit and determination to beat

the goalkeeper with that ball, and then with 12 or so minutes to go

from the end of the game, what a beautiful finish from Terry

to confirm promotion into the Football League.

Obviously the fans are delighted, but first, let's hear

To score today in a game we wanted to win in the fight for promotion,

it's amazing, and I couldn't have done that without the team,

the city, and everyone that's important to Lincoln City,

I think I was 12 the first time they got promoted back

into the Football League with Conor Murphy, and it's

Fantastically well, and we can go back into the Football League.

A great achievement for Danny Crowley.

10,000 people were here today to celebrate,

and we can show you the moment when they lifted the cup.

Imagine the noise, the cacophony here.

They still have two games to play, but after an extraordinary season

that saw them reaching the semifinals of the FA Trophy,

and the quarterfinal of the FA Cup against Arsenal,

let's not forget, this will go down as one of Lincoln City's

A motorcyclist has been killed in a crash in Lincolnshire.

There will be an open top bus tour to celebrate the success on Tuesday

the 2nd of May. More sporting the moment but first the rest of today's

news. A motorcyclist has been killed

in a crash in Lincolnshire. The 49-year-old local man died

after a collision with a tractor Lincolnshire Police are appealing

for witnesses to come forward. Three senior members

of the North Hykeham and Sleaford Conservative Association have been

removed from their roles The chairman, George Clark,

and two female deputies, were kicked out under

the party's rules. It's believed that the trio

were unhappy with the current MP, Dr Caroline Johnson,

and some of the decisions The Sea of Hull exhibition

officially opened to the public today, with an early queue forming

at the Ferens Art Gallery. The photographs involved more

than 3,000 people stripping off Artist Spencer Tunick wanted to give

the impression of the sea Despite having a preview last

night, some who took part It's such a wonderful opportunity

to see how Hull has been portrayed It was so busy last night,

and we just wanted to get a better And we could see ourselves

in the pictures, as well. It's a point of curiosity,

and it's something that gets people talking about the city,

and yes, I think In the Premier League,

Hull City had striker Omar Niasse sent off,

and are heading back If it stays that way they remain

outside the relegation zone. In League One, Scunthorpe United

are keeping their automatic An early penalty from Sam Jones gave

Grimsby Town the lead over Chris Clements added

a second before half time. In rugby league Hull Kingston Rovers

are close to pulling off a shock against Lee on the fifth round of

the Challenge Cup. They led 10-0 at one stage and now have a 23-10 lead

away with only a few minutes remaining.

Now it's time for the weather with Alina Jenkins.

Some noticeable changes as we head into next week,

but this evening and overnight, it's fairly quiet -

a few showers around first thing, which will fade.

Increasingly clear skies as the night wears on,

temperatures in town getting down to around four or five Celsius,

but closer to freezing in the countryside, so we can't rule

A chilly start to the day tomorrow, but a sunny dawn, bright,

plenty of sunshine, which will keep through the day.

More cloud in the afternoon, but it should stay mainly dry.

On Monday, we have a band of rain pushing its way southwards,

behind it some much colder air, some wintry showers

Congratulations again to all Lincoln city. From all of us again, have a

lovely afternoon. We are back tomorrow.

Hello. No change to the rest of the forecast into this evening, a very

pleasant Saturday night on the way. A
