Lincoln Crown Court heard today that Michael Munn almost died after he was attacked by Rafal Grochowski in Boston in the early hours of 14 April this year.

Grochowski, 21, of Willoughby Road in Boston, approached Mr Munn in West Street, lashing out with his fist.

He then shouted he was going to kill Mr Munn and stabbed him in the stomach, the court was told.

A psychiatrist said Grochowski, who admitted wounding with intent, was suffering from paranoid schizophrenia.

Ordering his indefinite detention in a mental health unit, Judge John Pini said had he not been suffering from a mental illness, Grochowski would have been given a substantial jail sentence.

Community groups across the county had complained at the introduction of a £30 charge to attach items, such as hanging baskets, to lamp posts.

Sue Sheekey, from the Mablethorpe in Bloom group, described charging people to make their town look better as "appalling".

The council has now apologised and said it will not charge charitable groups the fee.

Volunteers at a National Trust property in Lincolnshire say they are "delighted" following the birth of two baby owls in their grounds.

The Tawny Owl chicks have hatched at Gunby Hall, near Spilsby.

Sadly, only two of three eggs hatched, but the team there say this means there's a better chance of them surviving.

The chicks were taken out of the box by specialists in order to put rings on their legs.

The rings will help monitor the owl population, which in turn provides a good indication of the wider wildlife population because of their place in the food chain.

Many women who were born in the 1950s say they weren't told that the state pension age was to be brought in line with men.

The government argues the changes, which move towards gender equality, were decided more than 20 years ago and were "clearly communicated".

But Pat Tartellin, from Lincolnshire Women Against State Pension Inequality, says people still wrongly think they can get their pension at 60:

Five police cars, a police dog team and Louth search dogs are currently being used in the search for a "vulnerable" man who's gone missing in Lincolnshire.

The unusually large police presence is in North Cotes, near Grimsby, as the search for the man continues.

Police say he parked a green Ford Fiesta in the village this morning and went walking in an unknown direction from the village.

The man is described as white, of average build, 6ft tall and with short grey hair.

Police are appealing for information from anyone who may have seen him.

A Lincolnshire man who's driving a 54-year-old tractor from John O'Groats to Lands End has so far raised over £1,000 for the Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire Air Ambulance.

Kev Chambers, from near Boston, is driving the tractor in memory of his father who spent years restoring it to its former glory.

He says his dad had always wanted to make the journey down the country himself, so Kev said he'd do it in his memory - and to raise money for the Air Ambulance.

Now on the fourth day of his journey, he's passing through Cumbria:

The West Wing and Parks and Recreation star told the Radio Times, external, "You cannot beat them" after trying the delicacy during the filming of new ITV Drama Wild Bill.

But in the interview he admitted that he had no idea where Boston was and struggled to understand the Lincolnshire accent.

The ITV series was originally going to be set in Liverpool, but producers decided to shift it to Boston to reflect what they call the "world of Brexit".

The series promises a fish-out-of-water-style comedy drama about the police chief, played by Lowe, trying to solve some very British issues with his American style.

Teleflora is understood to be the world's largest floral services provider.

The Canal and River Trust has launched a campaign asking people not to drop plastic waste into rivers or canals.

The charity estimates more than half a million items of plastic reaches the world’s oceans each year through its waterways.

It says with the help of local communities this figure could be drastically cut.

The charity said it was "on a mission to eradicate plastic" from its waterways and urged people to pick up any rubbish they find.

It said if every visitor picked up one piece of plastic, the canals and rivers could be plastic-free in a year.
