A man and a woman have been fined for driving from Derbyshire to York for Sunday lunch.

They told police that one of their mums was going to cook them Sunday lunch - but had 'let them down'.

The pair, in their 20s were given Covid fixed penalty notices.

North Yorkshire Police said: "We know nobody does Yorkshire puddings better than us here in Yorkshire. But they're really not worth getting into trouble for.

"Driving 130 miles in search of Sunday lunch is not an essential journey."
