00:00 Good morning, it's Steph at the Doncaster Free Press. Very croaky Steph.
00:04 And it's Tuesday March the 26th, bringing you our headlines today.
00:10 Some very, very sad news to start off.
00:13 Police announced yesterday that they had found a body in the Hunt Farm,
00:18 missing Doncaster teacher, teacher assistant Pam Johnson.
00:24 This was late yesterday. We received the news.
00:28 A spokesman said that while formal identification has yet to take place,
00:33 they believe it to be Pam.
00:35 And her family have been informed and are at the moment being supported by officers at this time.
00:40 And obviously our thoughts are with the family at this awful time.
00:46 Okay, so what else have we got?
00:49 We've put a story out yesterday.
00:52 It's a very sad story, but it's also beautiful as well.
00:56 A little Doncaster girl, Skyler, aged four.
01:00 She was diagnosed with cancer just back in January.
01:04 And less than 48 days after that, she sadly passed away.
01:09 It was a rare and aggressive form of cancer.
01:14 And her family and friends are rallying around and trying to raise enough money to give her a beautiful send-off.
01:22 They did have a balloon release for her on Saturday.
01:26 So there's a story up today and there's also a link to the GoFundMe page.
01:31 If you'd like to make a donation to that cause, there's a gorgeous picture of her as well.
01:37 And then in other news, better news.
01:40 It was announced yesterday that Doncaster Heritage Services had to receive £182,000.
01:45 It's from a £4 million boost from Museum and Libraries Fund.
01:53 The money is going to go towards the Mexborough Library.
02:00 So you can read all about that today as well.
02:03 So for those stories and for anything else that's happening in the city, please visit the website.
02:08 And obviously we'll keep you updated on Facebook and X.
02:11 I'm gonna go and have some throat lozenges. I'll speak to you later.
