Stephen, 19, from Burntwood, Staffordshire, died last May after launching an appeal that raised more than £5m for the Teenage Cancer Trust. Jane Sutton said her son was a "keen runner" but his illness prevented him from completing a marathon himself. She finished the 26-mile course in a time of six hours and three minutes. She aims to raise £10,000 for the trust during the event. "I am fulfilling my wish to Stephen, he has been my driving force and when I have been going out running he has been the person I am thinking about and hopefully I've got the same determination as him so I will cross that finish line," she said. In September the trust announced £2.9m of the money raised would be invested in specialist cancer units for young people, and a further £1.2m used to train future cancer nurses and support staff.

The bronze coins dating from the late 4th Century were found inside 19 Roman amphoras, a type of jar. They bear images of the emperors Constantine and Maximian and it is thought they may have been used to pay soldiers or civil servants. The Director of the Seville Archaeological Museum Ana Navarro said the discovery had incalculable value. "It is a unique collection and there are very few similar cases," she said. "I could not give you an economic value, because the value they really have is historical and you can't calculate that." Work on the pipes, in the town of Tomares, has been suspended while an archaeological survey is carried out. The Romans began to conquer Spain in 218 BC, ruling until the 5th Century.

Summary: Construction workers laying pipes in a park in southern Spain have unearthed a 600kg trove of Roman coins.

Police said late on Friday that unidentified assailants had also burnt a number of houses in the village in Bauchi state, near Tafawa Balewa. Bauchi is in Nigeria's middle belt, where the predominantly Muslim north meets the mainly Christian south. There are long-standing tensions in the area rooted in power struggles and land disputes, correspondents say. This has caused violence in the past between indigenous Christian or animist groups, and Muslim settlers from the North. Hundreds have died in clashes in Nigeria following national elections last month in which Goodluck Jonathan, a southern Christian, won the presidential poll against a Muslim, Muhammadu Buhari. The worst of the violence was in Bauchi and Kaduna states.

They were constructed with the help of hundreds of volunteers and school children from Ely and Caerau. The farmstead, which originally dates from the time of the Roman conquest, is the first building to be completed as part of a multi-million pound scheme to redevelop St Fagans. David Anderson, director general of National Museum Wales, said: "The reconstruction of this exceptional lost building from Anglesey, using archaeological evidence, is a significant part of the redevelopment of St Fagans.

People on Lewis said the red deer had lost their fear of human activity and were trampling through gardens. Community landowner, the Stornoway Trust, has warned people not to get close to stags as the rutting season is about to begin. Western Isles council has asked for a meeting with Scottish Natural Heritage on the matter. The Stornoway Trust said it culled five deer this summer to ease the problem. Factor Iain Maciver said in the past 12 months red deer have been appearing close to properties as herds move between moorland and crofts. He said: "In addition to the danger they cause on the roads they can cause considerable damage for people trying to grow vegetables and young trees. "More importantly, as they lose their fear of man the stags could become quite dangerous particularly during the rut."

Summary: Islanders have complained about wild deer destroying vegetable plots and even peering in through house windows.

The monarch, who is said to be aged about 90, was admitted to hospital on Wednesday for medical checks. King Abdullah, who came to the throne in 2005, has suffered frequent bouts of ill health in recent years. His age and condition has led to increasing focus on the issue of the Saudi royal succession. Crown Prince Salman, who is in his late 70s, is next in line to succeed the king, though questions remain over who will follow. The crown has passed between the sons of Saudi Arabia's founding father Ibn Saud, but few are still alive. Last year, King Abdullah took the unprecedented step of appointing a deputy crown prince, his younger half-brother Prince Muqrin, to try to ensure a smooth succession.

Summary: Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah is suffering from a lung infection and has been breathing with the aid of a tube, Saudi officials have said.

Output, new orders and employment numbers all declined in February among manufacturing firms surveyed on behalf of Ulster Bank. Its monthly Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) says the NI manufacturing sector "is enduring more difficult conditions than its counterpart in Great Britain". However, the NI service sector is "outperforming" its UK equivalent. As a result, overall the private sector has maintained a "solid start to the year". New orders picked up to their fastest rate in eight months. The bank's chief economist, Richard Ramsey, said: "It should be remembered that whilst Northern Ireland is enjoying stronger rates of growth than the UK as a whole this is from a lower base. "We are playing catch-up. Our recovery until now has been slower and is therefore at a less advanced stage." The bank's monthly PMI is a survey of firms that tracks indicators such as new orders, employment and exports.

Summary: Northern Ireland manufacturing continues to struggle, according to newly-released data on the economy.

The Hamas-run health ministry said Ibrahim Mansour, 26, was shot dead while he was collecting gravel to sell. The Israeli military said its troops fired at several Palestinians who had been "tampering" with the fence. After "exhausting all other means" to disperse the men, "they fired towards the main instigator", it added.

"If I were being honest, it has been terrible. No one wants to sit on the bench and not play. "It was my decision. The gaffer hasn't actually spoken to me."

It means the aircraft has more 3D printed parts than any other before it. One expert said it was a significant step because new lightweight materials could be used and produced to airline safety standards. Stratasys, whose printers were used to make the parts, said it had reduced production time and costs. In a statement the US-Israeli firm said that its Stratasys FDM 3D Production System had been used to produce "more than 1,000" flight parts" for the first-of-its-type A350 XWB aircraft, delivered in December 2014. The process helped Airbus ensure it met its own delivery deadlines to airlines. "From what I can gather it's certainly unprecedented in scale," said James Woodcock, an expert on 3D printing with Rapid News. "Historically, the use of 3D printed parts have been in military aircraft rather than commercial passenger jets."

Baby girl Jaelyn was born on New Year's Eve in the last minute of 2015 and her brother Luis was born in the first few minutes of New Year's Day. Because they were born on different days, it means that they won't share the same birthday. "Maribel really wanted to have the babies on the same birthday because you know later on in the years, they're going to have a little confrontation and be like, 'my birthday came first,' so it means two birthday parties, back to back," Dad Luis said.

Peterborough Cathedral's organ is slightly sharper than the "standard pitch" introduced in 1939. Campaign manager James Dyer said he was "really excited" that the year-long fundraiser had been successful. He said work on adjusting the length of the 5,286 pipes would start in July and take up to two years to complete. "It's going to be a big undertaking," he said. "The idea is much of the instrument will be taken away in one go, as much as possible. "It's going to take a while." The organ dates back to 1894, before a standard pitch was established in 1939. It is half a semi-tone sharper than a standard pitch. The organ re-pitch is a small part of the four projects undertaken by the cathedral in the run-up to its 900th anniversary in 2018.

Aron Thrandarson opened the scoring on 47 minutes as swirling winds and heavy rain hampered play. Oliver McBurnie then had a penalty well saved by Runar Runarsson after the home goalkeeper had fouled the striker. Elias Omarsson doubled the Icelanders lead as they moved above France and Macedonia in the qualifying table. Scotland hopes of reaching next year's European Championship finals were extinguished after a heavy defeat in Ukraine last month. That prompted the early exit of coach Ricky Sbragia, with Gemmill stepping up from his role with the under-19s and under-17s. Looking ahead to the next mission, Gemmill introduced several players from the Under-19s but they could not resist a motivated home side that has lost just once in qualifying. With two victories from nine matches, Scotland end a hugely disappointing campaign in Macedonia next week. Iceland lead Macedonia on goal difference, with France one point behind.

Summary: Scot Gemmill's first match in charge of Scotland U21s ended in a 2-0 defeat as Iceland went top of Group 3 with one round of fixtures remaining.

Called a scrape, the wetland area in Nigg Bay offers shallows for birds such as little grebes, mallards, herons, lapwings and curlews. The site, on the Cromarty Firth, improves on a large pond created for waders and wildfowl 15 years ago. The work to create the scrape has received funding from the Landfill Communities Fund. The technique is used at other RSPB reserves. Isabel Morgan, warden at the Nigg Bay reserve, said, "One of the most celebrated birdwatching sites in Britain is the scrape at our Minsmere reserve in Suffolk. "The scrape is, basically, a man-made pond, which has extensive shallow edges which are designed to produce as much invertebrate-rich mud as possible."
