A stretch of York's inner ring road near the city's railway station is to shut from Saturday to Tuesday for roadworks to be carried out.Queen Street will close from 19:00 BST on Saturday to allow contractors to remove the existing road surface and replace it in a new road layout, as part of ongoing work to transform the front of the railway station.Trains will run as usual but some bus routes will be diverted and free shuttle buses will run between Blossom Street and the station, the council said.Kate Ravilious, York council's executive member for transport, said the authority was working with developers to "to minimise disruption throughout the bank holiday".
Pedestrians will still be able to use the route during the closure and the gates at Lowther Terrace will be open to allow pedestrians and cyclists through.Ravilious said: "There has been a lot of change around the station recently and I would like to thank everybody for their continued cooperation and patience as these works are ongoing."We want to stress that York is open for business and over the bank holiday there will be lots of great things for people to enjoy."But the council has urged people to plan their journeys around the city carefully, as the closure coincides with urgent roadworks on St Leonard's Place after a sinkhole opened up on the road.Queen Street is expected to reopen at 06:00 BST on Tuesday.

Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury look every inch the happy family as they enjoy a very lavish 'surprise trip' to the Cotswold
Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury looked every inch the happy family as they enjoyed a very lavish 'surprise trip' to the Cotswold on Saturday. After months of rumours that the couple had rekindled their romance following their split in August, the pair finally went Instagram official last month with a loved-up family snap. And Tommy has clearly been making the effort since their shock split as he whisked his family off to a 'surprise trip' to the Cotswolds. Sharing an array of snaps to her Instagram Stories, Molly shared some sweet moments from the trip as she took a dip in the pool with Bambi. Elsewhere she shared a snippet of her very lavish accommodation which featured huge L-shaped couches and large emperor beds. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Sharing an array of snaps to her Instagram Stories, Molly shared some sweet moments from the trip as she took a dip in the pool with Bambi And Bambi appeared to settle in straight away as she was pushing her toy pram around the luxury property. Alongside a mirror seflie, Molly penned: 'Back from St Tropez and straight to the Cotswolds for a surprise staycation. 'This look is giving mum who's had approx 3 seconds to get ready'. Molly and Tommy fell for each other in front of the nation during series five of Love Island, going on to welcome Bambi and then get engaged in 2023. But fans were shocked when Molly announced on Instagram last August that she and Tommy had split up after five years, with many suspecting he had been unfaithful. In a statement posted to her 8.5million Instagram followers, she confirmed the breakup, saying: 'I never imagined our story would end, especially not this way.' Tommy denied continued speculation about him cheating during a magazine interview, insisting any reports about him being with other women were 'complete and utter b*****ks.' The boxer, who's the half-brother of heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, said the reason he and Molly ended their romance was down to his excessive drinking. She made sure to give fans a whole tour of their accommodation for the cosy family weekend getaway Another adorable snap saw Bambi putting her toy baby to bed in the huge king sized master bedroom He said: 'People go through different things in life. I'm 25 years old. I went through a lot and my breakup was in front of the whole world... 'Cheating was never a thing. You can ask Molly this yourself. It was the drink, and the drink is not a good thing.' The pair's split was branded a 'publicity stunt' by fans after they were filmed packing on the PDA at Manchester United footballer Luke Shaw 's Hogmanay party in Cheshire. And in May, Molly began taking to her Instagram Stories to re-introduce his presence more regularly on her social media account. In the picture, Tommy could be seen sharing a kiss with Molly and their toddler, Bambi, while they enjoyed ice lollies in the sunshine. The post came after she revealed what really happened when they were spotted sharing a kiss as the clock struck midnight and 2025 began in the final installment of her Amazon Prime docuseries. After receiving a call from her manager Fran Britton to inform her of the video, Molly was left shaking as she exclaimed 'No, oh my God,' after watching the footage. The influencer explained: 'Basically, what's happened is I've attended a New Year's Eve party and a familiar someone showed up 10 minutes before the countdown and that was Tommy. 'Basically we shared a kiss at midnight and it would appear that someone has taken a video and sold it to the press.' She continued: 'It was just a moment that we shared and I can't really explain it, it kind of just happened. 'You think you're having a private, intimate moment and nothing is private even in a room of people you think you trust and you know, people like to make a quick buck.' Molly added: 'I'd love to know how much they did make, hope it was worth it. But karma always comes back around don't you think?' Watching the clip she exclaimed: 'Sh**e. Ahhh no. No my God what? I'm literally shaking.' As Fran asked her to explain what happened, Molly swore that the boxer wasn't supposed to at the party and showed up unexpectedly. She said: 'He turned up at 10 to 12. I swear he wasn't meant to be there. 'He messaged me saying "I am outside and I want to see in the New Year with you, I kid you not Fran he was there for eight minutes. He was literally not there. He wasn't there all night.' Since the kiss, Tommy has been seen leaving her Cheshire home and after sharing a family holiday in Dubai, Molly confirmed on her YouTube channel that the pair are 'figuring things out'.

Fans stunned at empty stadium for Andorra vs England with Lionesses' game vs Spain at same stadium hosting TWICE as many

England's men took on Andorra in the La Liga Stadium on Saturday afternoon, seeing 6,945 England fans make the trip for the World Cup qualifier. 4 The RDCE Stadium looked empty as England played Andorra Credit: Getty 4 England's stars had few fans cheering them on Credit: PA 4 Sparse supporters were dotted around the stands Credit: Getty The RCDE stadium, home of Spanish side Espanyol, looked noticeably empty during the match between England's men and Andorra. Sparse pockets of fans spread across the stands in Barcelona with just shy of 7,000 tickets sold to England fans for the match inside the 40,000-seat stadium. That is just half of the 14,000 fans that piled into the same stadium to watch England Women take on Spain in the Nations League on Tuesday - a match the Lionesses ultimately lost 2-1 as they prepare for this summer's Euros. Fans online were quick to notice how empty the stadium looked, reacting on social media.

England star Ivan Toney hits back at Bruno Fernandes with blunt reply after Man Utd star's Saudi transfer snub That's because Andorra's Estadi Nacional in Andorra la Vella holds just 3,000 fans, meaning a move to Espanyol's ground accommodated even more supporters for the clash. Andorra are moving into a new stadium in the town of Encamp which hosts 5,600 fans, but the ground wasn't ready in time for this fixture to be arranged there.
