Leeds, a city in northern England, is poised to have its LGBT village rubber stamped by local authorities.

Proposals by a council-led working group call for the Lower Briggate and The Calls of Leeds districts to be named the city's official 'gay quarter'.

Bridges, boats, balloons, Brunel and Banksy. This is Bristol, the city of the five ‘B’s and an ideal city for a day trip from London.

A murder investigation was launched on Saturday (21 July) after the body of a man was found in a flat in St George's Road, Brighton, last Monday (16 July).
