Foz catches a word with the wife of a Wattisham serviceman who has been picked to sing on Gary Barlow's Diamond Jubilee single.

One of Ipswich's town centre pubs has had it's license revoked.

Work has begun on the new energy-from-waste incineration plant at Great Blakenham. By the end of 2014, it'll be producing enough electricity for 30,000 homes, and diverting 252,000 tonnes of waste a year from landfill. It has been controversial with the local community who say they're worried about the disruption it will cause. Look East's Richard Daniel speaks to David Palmer-Jones from Sita UK, the company building the plant.
