After this week's terror tragedy children raise smiles with acts

And the teenager hoping to leave behind a legacy,

after being diagnosed with terminal cancer.

Events are taking place across our region today

to remember those who died in Monday's terror attack.

A minute's silence is being held this evening

at Marsden Cricket Club in South Tyneside,

Chloe Rutherford and Liam Curry, from South Shields.

Liam, who was 19, had been a member of the club since he was six.

A number of balloon releases are planned to take

And in Gateshead, a service is being held this evening for

teenager Courtney Boyle and her step-father, Philip Tron.

It's at the Angel of the North at 7 o'clock.

Yellow balloons will be released, and flowers will be placed

With more than a quarter of those killed coming from our region,

the atrocity in Manchester feels terribly close to home.

Inevitably, that increases feelings of anger and concern here.

But today a class of primary school children took matters

into their own hands by staging random acts of kindness

Did you make them all yourself or did people buy them?

As armed police watched on, random acts of kindness

Even though we can't change the feelings of the people in Manchester

this week we know we can make a positive difference. The children

came up with the idea of random acts of kindness, giving out free cakes

and cookies in the city centre today. I think it is fantastic it

shows that people in the north-east, what they are like. Wonderful

people. I've been here 14 years now, and I blogged every minute. It has

little children. It shows is how much we need to stop thinking about

other people. Cakes and sweets were donated

by local companies. How does it make you feel to be

being kind to be booked? Really good because it makes me feel proud about

myself because some of these people could have been injured. It is

making me feel happy because I'm getting to spread kindness and love

to Newcastle. This wasn't motivated

as a fund-raising exercise but people wanted to match random

acts of kindness with their own Because they have been affected

about and they want to talk about it. Our job, we are to teach English

and maths but we also have to teach them to be good considerate people

and to understand that within this world there are far more good people

bad people. I think we have seen that today. Is it the right thing to

do to take them out lessons to be here today? To be honest if you

think of all the skills without this week, children on the bone to

eight-year-old Saffie Roussos. He's lived with cancer

since he was 12, and lost a leg as doctors tried

to treat the disease. Now aged 18, Kieran Maxwell,

from County Durham, is facing a terminal diagnosis

after discovering a tumour But he continues to raise

money to help others Through it all Kieran

touched hearts, falling with the Olympic torch in 2012,

he picked himself up and carried on. In recent months, though,

he has had to live with perhaps How do you cope with

a terminal diagnosis? The best answer for that is

you don't cope with it, you live it, sometimes it goes to the back

of your head you forget about it, sometimes it's

there and you are upset because it is a horrible thing

to know that one day you will go. You only get one life so just do

it quicker then if... I don't know, you just can't really

answer that question, He has not forgotten the Paralympic

who sent him a medal and his Legacy fund is phrasing

thousands partly in the research Of course we were hoping

there would be something for Kieran, and I do not blame the researchers

they are trying their best, but if we can help,

that's what we want to do. He's kept up the new experiences

ever since the terminal diagnosis, I still think that despite all

of the chemotherapy and everything, I just want to show people that,

I might have had this illness but at the end

of the day, it is an illness. It might be something really,

really horrible, but get on with it. Live it while you've got

the chance because you might Archaeologists, working

at Carlisle Cricket Club, have unearthed a Roman site

which is among the most Previosult unknown bathhouse used

by an elite cavalry unit, in the north of the city -

was found beneath an old tennis The club's hoping for planning

permission for a new pavilion and cricket centre after the floods

of 2015, on land beside the find. We don't have a lot of standing

Roman remains in Carlisle. It would be fantastic

if the finance was There is probably likely to be

fairly bathhouses under these late Just to open the whole

site, purely from an archaeological point of view,

that would be absolutely wonderful. The last two days

have been glorious there's been beautiful

sunshine right across our the North East

and Cumbria, these shots here show But will the fine weather last this

bank holiday weekend? Hello, again, good afternoon I hope

you are enjoying the sunshine. Plenty more to come

through the course of the afternoon. We've had so many gorgeous weather

watcher photos sent in. It's hard to pick just

one, but here's one of them sent in by one of our

weather watchers today. Sunny and hot is the headline

for this afternoon, not too shabby for a

Friday May afternoon. What we have seen over the last few

days is similar whether all due to high pressure

pushing that low away. Now it will make an appearance

and because of the weekend so we are going to see some

wet weather, some fairly heavy showers through the course

of the day tomorrow and some rain It wouldn't be a Bank Holiday

without some rain. So, if we take a look at this

afternoon, not an awful lot changes on the map, you can see just a very

small amount of fair weather cloud bubbling up through the course

of the afternoon, but the most wall-to-wall sunshine,

temperatures really responding. For parts of Cumbria,

further inland, as well, only in coast we could see these

temperatures reaching a little bit There is an onshore breeze so long

that East coast it will feel a bit cooler, but actually still

quite pleasant as you can imagine. So, through this evening and

overnight remaining bright, clear The onshore breeze

may blow some mist These are our overnight

temperatures, more representative, really,

of our average daytime highs It's not going be a great night

sleep they should imagine overnight The day tomorrow, the mist

and the low cloud should lift and we should see some sunshine

in a very warm and humid morning. Before the showers, very heavy,

potentially thundery will track This is where the weather

warning has been issued, we A bit hit and miss but nice this

afternoon. Get out and enjoy the sunshine if you can. I will be back

at 6:30pm with look North. I hope you can join me them.
