good afternoon and welcome to bbc news. they are getting ready for that big rock concert tomorrow, but these people have come out frankly to enjoy the great atmosphere and the good mood. the focus of attention of the queen's platinum jubilee celebration today this morning has all been on the other side of town at st paul's at each witchel has been watching that. a service of thanksgiving at st paul's cathedral without the person for his long years of service those banks were being offered. the queen was absent but other members of her family were present,

and among them, the duke and duchess of sussex appearing together in public for the first time in britain since they withdrew from royal life and moved to california more than two years ago. there have been well documented tensions since then. sharp comments in interviews, but this was a day for the family to come together. harry and meghan were taken to the length of the central aisle in st paul's to their seats with other members of the family, a family with which they have had only limited contact since they chose to leave britain. fanfare. with a green absent, it was the duke and duchess of cambridge, the prince of wales and the duchess of cornwall who processed through to lead the thanksgiving for the queen's reign. we come together in this cathedral church today to offer god thanks

the congregation included 400 members of nhs staff and other key workers from around the country. but it was the service of one person over 70 years highlighted in the sermon by the archbishop of york. he recalled one of the queen's principal private interests. we all know that the queen likes horse racing. and your majesty, i am rather assuming you are watching this on the television. and i am afraid i don't have any great tips for the derby tomorrow. your majesty, we are sorry that you are not here with us this morning. but we are so glad that you are still in the saddle, and we are glad that there is still more to come. there was an act of commitment led by young people from all the countries of which the queen is head of state. rejoicing in the life and reign of elizabeth, our queen. - finally, a service of thanksgiving for a monarch who is showing

the signs of her 96 years. concluded with the national anthem. nicholas witchell, bbc news. since then, the palace has confirmed that the queen will not be attending that horse races tomorrow. she had been looking forward to that as well, but understandably, horse racing takes a lot of energy. there will be a lot of people, it will be crowded and it was decided that it was just too much for her majesty up against a's appearance on the balcony. my colleague is at windsor castle where the queen is today watching all of the events on the television. , ., , television. yes, that is right, the queen unable _ television. yes, that is right, the queen unable to _ television. yes, that is right, the queen unable to go _ television. yes, that is right, the queen unable to go to _ television. yes, that is right, the queen unable to go to the - television. yes, that is right, the| queen unable to go to the service television. yes, that is right, the - queen unable to go to the service at saint pol�*s cathedral earlier on, but we know that she is here at the castle at the moment and she watched

the service on the television, not quite the same as being there in person with herfamily quite the same as being there in person with her family surrounded by herfamily, but she person with her family surrounded by her family, but she still watched the service earlier on. we also know, as you mentioned there, tomorrow she will not be going to the derby, a much loved event that the derby, a much loved event that the queen really likes to go to every year. she has a huge love for horse racing and horses. that's not something she will be going to because of the mobility issues that she has been facing since yesterday and over the last couple of months. at this evening, at the castle, there is going to be a platinum jubilee concert at st george's chapel, the chapel within the castle grounds and it is going to be music celebrating the queen. i've got with mejillian, who is in charge of a couple of the choirs tonight. tell us a bit about what is expected this evening. it’s us a bit about what is expected this evenina. �* , us a bit about what is expected this evenina. h , us a bit about what is expected this evenina. h ., , evening. it's the most lovely programme _ evening. it's the most lovely programme and _ evening. it's the most lovely programme and i _ evening. it's the most lovely programme and i brought. evening. it's the most lovely i programme and i brought with evening. it's the most lovely - programme and i brought with me in 16 young children apart of tableau's

children's choir and boys choir, and they have been invited along because there is a commissioned work by cecelia mcdowell, and in it, she writes a special part for children, and we got the job, that's lovely. who is expected to come to the concert this evening?— who is expected to come to the concert this evening? well, there is a very large — concert this evening? well, there is a very large adult — concert this evening? well, there is a very large adult choir _ concert this evening? well, there is a very large adult choir made - concert this evening? well, there is a very large adult choir made up - concert this evening? well, there is a very large adult choir made up of| a very large adult choir made up of three different choirs, and i imagine that most of their families will come. the tickets are snapped up will come. the tickets are snapped up within 30 minutes of going on sale. so i think that's largely it, and windsor residents and followers of these kinds of musical things stop like a very special concert, and incredibly special place to be having it inside the chapel in windsor castle. it's an absolute privilege. iflipped windsor castle. it's an absolute privilege. i flipped around this area and have been lucky enough to do quite a few things in there and it neverfails to do quite a few things in there and it never fails to inspire do quite a few things in there and it neverfails to inspire me. for our children for a lot of them, it's the first time, and it is just

watching then is beautiful. they are absolutely stunned by the size and beauty and architecture. are you expecting any members of the royal family at are you expecting any members of the royalfamily at tonight's are you expecting any members of the royal family at tonight's concert? i don't think we are. and what are your plans for this weekend? we have another couele _ your plans for this weekend? we have another couple of _ your plans for this weekend? we have another couple of days _ your plans for this weekend? we have another couple of days a _ your plans for this weekend? we have another couple of days a platinum - another couple of days a platinum jubilee celebrations. will he be in windsor? i jubilee celebrations. will he be in windsor? ., jubilee celebrations. will he be in windsor? . ., ., , ., windsor? i am going to be in tableau su ”ortin windsor? i am going to be in tableau sueporting my _ windsor? i am going to be in tableau suoporting my local _ windsor? i am going to be in tableau supporting my local church _ windsor? i am going to be in tableau supporting my local church who - windsor? i am going to be in tableau supporting my local church who have| supporting my local church who have several open gardens and green tea is in the churchyard. that's tomorrow, saturday, and sunday, i'm going to my daughters because they've got a street party and we haven't. ., they've got a street party and we haven't. . ., ., a haven't. have fun, good luck with the platinum _ haven't. have fun, good luck with the platinum jubilee _ haven't. have fun, good luck with the platinum jubilee concert - haven't. have fun, good luck with the platinum jubilee concert at i haven't. have fun, good luck with the platinum jubilee concert at st george's chapel here this evening. you never know, the queen who is here at the castle perhaps they will leave the door open and she might be able to hear some of that concert this evening. that would be nice. at least she can watch it on the television. i keep talking about how crowded it is here, but of course, there celebrations going on all over

there celebrations going on all over the country, indeed all around the commonwealth where people are watching this platinum jubilee celebration. let's talk about what we cite st paul's cathedral about the role of the younger generations of rails. victoria, thank you very much for joining me. it's interesting watching the celebration, because the queen is frail and she wasn't there today and want to be that the derby tomorrow, it seems like prince charles is front and centre at more events like this. and we see this as a quiet transition or at least getting the british public use to sink in these positions, do think? i think that's exactly right. this is a celebration of the queen's service to country for seven years in the commonwealth, to see prince charles as that next to my stepping more and more regularly for the queen, things are little bit difficult mobility wise. it'sjust are little bit difficult mobility wise. it's just a are little bit difficult mobility wise. it'sjust a chance are little bit difficult mobility wise. it's just a chance for us to actually recognise them as that future monarch because he's not always had the best reputation and

relationship with the public, so this is a real chance for him to shine and show himself off as that statesman. �* ., , ., shine and show himself off as that statesman-— shine and show himself off as that statesman. �* . , ., ., ., . statesman. and as a royal watcher, how has he — statesman. and as a royal watcher, how has he performed _ statesman. and as a royal watcher, how has he performed this - statesman. and as a royal watcher, l how has he performed this weekend? he is the longest—serving heir to the throne in british history, he's had a great role model and the queen to learn from, so he is kind of used to learn from, so he is kind of used to this. a very safe pair of hands to this. a very safe pair of hands to pass the throne to next, but i think the job of this platinum jubilee in terms of charles is helping the public warm to him. it's realising that actually knows what he's doing and actually he carries a great deal about thejob. he's doing and actually he carries a great deal about the job. do he's doing and actually he carries a great deal about the job.— he's doing and actually he carries a great deal about the job. great deal about the 'ob. do we know what the british — great deal about the job. do we know what the british public— great deal about the job. do we know what the british public feels - great deal about the job. do we know what the british public feels about. what the british public feels about charles? but he is not to be loved in the way she is just because she has been the queen for so long. absolutely. in paul's letter done, he doesn't have the greatest approval rating. it's probably under half, and most people actually think that william should take the throne next, but of course that messes with the whole system of constitutional

hereditary monarchy. so it's a dicey ground. he is definitely more popular than his father, but it's worth considering that charles knows exactly what's expected of him. he's ready, willing to take that role on, whereas william is really not, he's much more comfortable in the shadows at the moment. much more comfortable in the shadows at the moment-— at the moment. let's talk about that next generation _ at the moment. let's talk about that next generation as _ at the moment. let's talk about that next generation as well. _ at the moment. let's talk about that next generation as well. they, - next generation as well. they, william and kate have also been taking quite a central role, especially at st paul's this morning. especially at st paul's this morning-— especially at st paul's this morning. especially at st paul's this morninu. ~ . . ., ., ., morning. william and kate are also introducin: morning. william and kate are also introducing the _ morning. william and kate are also introducing the children _ morning. william and kate are also introducing the children now... - introducing the children now... prince louis has stolen the show as far as i can see. 0ne prince louis has stolen the show as far as i can see. one of the iconic images we have is the queen talking to prince louis, explained to him what's going on, only four years old, he's still kind of feeling things out, getting to know what's going on, so the older generation talking to the youngest and helping them get to know what is happening it's really sweet and touching and i think that will be an iconic image that resonates through the years. that little image of prince louis on the balcony with his hands over his

ears, sometimes it takes little moments like that to humanise an institution like the royal family. exactly. it's a family business so to speak in the subjects he does human moments, that helps with their pr, their visuals, their optics, and reminds people they are behind a history of the monarchy and actually they do make mistakes, they are fragile and also much like us, but actually, that then enhances that image because people can relate to that far more. we image because people can relate to that far more.— that far more. we want them to be fra . ile that far more. we want them to be fragile and — that far more. we want them to be fragile and mortal, _ that far more. we want them to be fragile and mortal, but _ that far more. we want them to be fragile and mortal, but not too - fragile and mortal, but not too mortal and too fragile, it's interesting looking at this crowd here a lot of people of my generation, but lots of your generation, but lots of your generation and younger out. i'm surprised by how many young people have turned out to see, to celebrate and say thank you to the queen on thisjubilee weekend. i and say thank you to the queen on this jubilee weekend.— this jubilee weekend. i thank you are riuht. this jubilee weekend. i thank you are right- many _ this jubilee weekend. i thank you are right. many people _ this jubilee weekend. i thank you are right. many people may - this jubilee weekend. i thank you are right. many people may not l are right. many people may not necessarily agree with the monarchy, but i think everyone can agree that the queen has committed seven

decades of her life to serve as and actually it's a moment in history. everyone knows where they were at certain times in history. this weekend i think is one of those. so for them to come and be part of that, to the concert this weekend, i think for them, it's a way of celebrating and i think the context of a postcode that world, people have the chance to come together again and actually taking it when that opportunity presents itself. you can hear them in the background, if we are copping a little bit, forgive us, it is the trees can it makes you sneeze up here. we hear the concept that is happening tomorrow night, some of the preparations, some of the rehearsals going on, this has been a weekend of looking back on the queen and as you say, orseven looking back on the queen and as you say, or seven decades of service, but it inevitably also involves looking forward. in your work at the crown chronicles and when you have interaction with your audience is and you get feedback from your audience is, what do you care about the future of the monarchy? i audience is, what do you care about the future of the monarchy?- the future of the monarchy? i think --eole are the future of the monarchy? i think people are interested _ the future of the monarchy? i think people are interested to _ the future of the monarchy? i think people are interested to see - the future of the monarchy? i think people are interested to see how i people are interested to see how this develops. 0f people are interested to see how this develops. of course, the world has shifted so much from when the queen took the crown in 1952,

society has changed, expectations have changed, so the monarchy must also change. i think people are intrigued to see what charles does. we've often spoken about a slimmed—down monarchy, that means charles and camilla heading it up william and kate supporting with engagements, maybe the countess of wessex and princess man, but what does that mean in practice in terms of value for money for the monarchy? what can they achieve with fewer people? to actually go to those engagements and the impact they can genuinely have. so i think people wonder about that, but the more light—hearted moments, the charities that they really can give some fantastic publicity to make real change. d0 fantastic publicity to make real chance. ,, fantastic publicity to make real chance. , change. do younger people, the next generation. — change. do younger people, the next generation. the _ change. do younger people, the next generation, the queen _ change. do younger people, the next generation, the queen had _ change. do younger people, the next generation, the queen had a - change. do younger people, the next generation, the queen had a huge i generation, the queen had a huge impact on the world stage, partly because she became queen at a time when britain still had it empire. then there was the cold war and britain's role in the world was very clear and very dominant. do people think that i and derek, he will be

king charles the third, the role of the monarchy globally may change? we the monarchy globally may change? - have seen that shift in the queen's rain, the soft diplomacy role that that entails and one way we have certainly seen that is the queen's role in shaping the commonwealth, of course, that was a post—colonial system, but actually it grew into the queen's leadership. many countries that weren't necessarily part of the empire or had shaken that frame and chose to rejoin the commonwealth and be part of that system. so i think that soft diplomacy is something that is being shaped more and more by the royals because there that bit of sparkle that the politicians simply do not have. . g . that the politicians simply do not have. . ., ., ., ~ that the politicians simply do not have. . ., ., ., ,, , that the politicians simply do not have. . ., ., ., , . have. victoria, thank you very much forjoining me _ have. victoria, thank you very much forjoining me here _ have. victoria, thank you very much forjoining me here where _ have. victoria, thank you very much forjoining me here where it - have. victoria, thank you very much forjoining me here where it is - forjoining me here where it is still quite busy. that's one thing that people talk about, we don't actually hear her say very much she is very carefully managed, she doesn't speak out in public very much. we certainly don't know what her opinions are, but it's not so much soft power as it is silent power. hersilence much soft power as it is silent power. her silence conveys an enormous amount of weight and gives

her some of the impact that she has not just her some of the impact that she has notjust here in the united kingdom but around the world as well from a very busy place at the moment, that's it for me and back to the studio. let's ta ke let's take a look at the day's other news. two men have apologised for their involvement in a social media video appearing to show a group of people singing a song mocking the 2011 killing of michaela mcareavey in mauritius. michaela mcareavey, an irish language teacher from county tyrone, was killed while on honeymoon in 2011. the orange 0rder has launched an inquiry into the video which it has described as "utterly abhorrent". earlier i spoke to our ireland correspondent, emma vardy who told me the video has been widely condemned. the footage emerged over the past 2a hours, and many people see this

as an example of pretty disgusting sectarian chanting and singing, really. what you can in the video is what appears to be a union flag, the orange order paintings and, of course, the orange order, a very staunch the british loyalist organisation here in northern ireland and you can see a group of people singing this song in the video. michaela mcareavey was a woman who was killed in 2011, whilst on honeymoon, no one has been convicted of the killing but she was also the daughter of a well—known gaa football manager here, high—profile sports person with the nationalist communities here in northern ireland. a well—known daughter of a well—known figure here and it has cost of course, a lot of anger. it has been roundly condemned across the political spectrum here for stopper spokesman for the grand 0range lodge of ireland said the institution condemned the content of the video without reservation and of those involved are fun to be members of the institution they will face disciplinary action. two men have issued a statement themselves. john bill and andrew mcdade

to a consultancy firm say it is a matter of deep shame and regret that they became involved. we also heard from the dup on this, calling the behaviour in the video file and the deputy leader of sinn fein offering her solidarity to michaela mcareavey�*s family. a lot of anger, really come across the political spectrum over this. and also others coming out, too, saying that they can be identified in the video and may well face consequences for that. what is the reaction been from the family themselves? we have not heard directly from them yet. of course, i mean, you know, this is obviously going to be high the offence of a situation that is a tragic killing, a number of years ago and in fact, temperament�*s partner still campaigns today to getjustice for what happened on honeymoon. a very tragic situation

and one which the names here are quite well—known if you are in northern ireland, well known of course to fans in the nationalist community to because of that sporting connection so sinn fein's deputy leader had offered her solidarity with their families who, i am sure, will find that very, very difficult footage to view. four people have been killed in a train crash in germany. 60 people were injured, 16 seriously, when the train derailed near the southern german town of garmisch—partenkirchen — which is close to the austrian border. a rescue operation is under way. deutsche welle correspondent giulia saudelli told us more about the circumstances of the accident. we've heard authorities confirm that they are now talking about at least four people dead in this accident and at least a few dozen injured, some of them seriously. they had to be transported to local hospitals, also with the aid of helicopters.

we've heard that it was the back part of the train where the carriages derailed. a few carriages can be seen in pictures being overturned and having slid down the slope. authorities had to pull people out of the windows to try to rescue them from the wreckage of the train. it is still unclear what caused the incident, but there is a fear that a lot of students were present on this train because today was the last day of school in bavaria before a stretch of vacation time for students there, so a lot of young people had left school and were heading home before this vacation time. the ministry of defence says, russia appears to have the initiative over ukraine, in the battle for the eastern region of donbas. exactly 100 days since the invasion began, it says russia holds about 90% of the luhansk district — which makes up half of the donbas — and is likely to seize the remaining 10% in the next few weeks, even though none of moscow's original war objectives have been achieved. 0ur correspondent, james waterhouse, reports from kyiv.

a bubble of innocence in a world ruptured by war. however, he doesn't know any different. he was born on the 25th of february, the second day of this invasion, so what kind of ukraine will he grow up in? our country is really good and maybe it is a price that we need to pay for our kids to live in a better world, in a better country. viktoriya ended up giving birth in this hospital basement, shielded from 50 other people. despite the turbulent start to her son's life, she is certain of the values she wants to instil. i told him to appreciate and to be grateful of the people of his country and try to keep the special ukrainian spirit. 100 days ago, the front line came to kyiv�*s doorstep.

towns like irpin bore the brunt with people and pets desperate to get out. the russian troops ultimately couldn't get in. there is still, though, a giant question mark over whether they will come back for kyiv. that hasn't put the city off, though, trying to heal. for some families, that will take time. 0ne ukrainian soldier killed while defending the city of slovyansk is taken to his final resting place. followed by his mother, vladyslava. bogdan was 26 years old. his first name means, "given by god", because his parents had waited so long to have a child. translation: we have to win, there is no other way. - there is no other way.

we are going to win. this collective grief has not killed the fight. translation: we don't need the sky, ground or sea to be closed. _ let them come here. it will be easy to kill them on our land. we need weapons, we will take care of the rest. earlier i spoke to sviatoslav yurash, ukraine's youngest ever mp. i asked him what victory for ukraine would look like. russians getting our country and leaving our country to its own destiny, as far as peace itself, if peace is achievable when we get russia to compensate for all that we have lost in this war, all that we have lost in this

war, and that is truly something that we should, again, showcase the world, because it's done by any measure, but people are dying every single day, and i'm going tomorrow to don bass to the area ——day, and i'm going tomorrow to donbas to the area we spoke about earlier, and with help, i can deliver the support that the rest of ukrainians are showing, but the need for all is still here. tell us more about your plans in the east. so i have a base where supplies, humanitarian efforts and basically we will be taking another trip to the front line to deliver help where it is needed most, the front—line villages where people have nothing, no food, no water, no medicine of any kind, insulin, especially older people staying there are diabetic, they are dying, they don't have enough insulin. the point here is when we get supplies we deliver them straight to the individuals who are lacking namic to have a chance at survival. we need to gather up drones, small things like glasses,

headphones, kneepads and various other means that allow the military to be more successful. i have not been re—station to the east as of yet, but i'm waiting for that in the coming weeks, hopefully i will be with my units soon. the boss of nato has warned prepare for the long haul, and when you talk about victory, do you see it has been in some way off as well? depends on the russians and depends on russia. the reality, mr putin is killing his people right now and the mass delusion about politics of the ukrainian future, and i hope many more in russia come to realise that in the months and years going past, the reality is that they will soon realise this and throw mr putin out, they will have to answer what has

been done to the world, the suffering from that aggression, which is needless. but do you continue to feel the support and solidarity off the west 100 days and as much as you did at the beginning? the reality is, we have different steps that the west has taken to showcase to russia and to the russians that this war mongering and this horror they are inflicting on the world is not something that we can allow russia to continue, but so much more needs to happen. and there are some missteps that we see, for example, the fact that in europe, the latest packet of sanctions, the reality is while they debate about exactly the precise measurement of sanctions, we are having people that we have to bury every single day in ukraine who are dying because of the mad and pointless aggression by russia in the name of mr putin's delusions. so much has changed for so many people in these 100 days. for you as an individual, what is the biggest difference? everything is upside down.

the reality of parliamentary work is one thing, but the reality of what is of most use is the work i'm doing in the east to try to save people's lives. ukraine's youngest ever mp speaking to me a little earlier. president biden has made an impassioned plea for congress to impose stricter gun laws, following a string of mass shootings in the united states. speaking from the white house, he said that guns are now the number one killer of children in america. nomia iqbal reports from washington. as president biden walked to the podium, 56 candles burned behind him, each representing victims of gun violence in all us states and territories. he said everyday places in america were now killing fields and enough was enough. let there be no mistake about the psychological trauma that gun violence leaves behind. imagine being that little girl, that brave little girl in uvalde, who smeared blood off her murdered

friend's body on to her own face to lie still among the corpses in her classroom to pretend she was dead, in order to stay alive. this comes after president biden visited uvalde in texas and the families of school teachers and children murdered in their classroom. previously, he had visited buffalo in new york, where ten people were shot dead last month in a supermarket. on wednesday, four people were shot dead at a medical centre in oklahoma. some swift action is happening, house democrats have voted for a bill of tougher gun restrictions, which would take into account many of mr biden's proposal. but republicans are against this move, some even brought their own guns to meetings about the bill. here is a gun i carry every single day to protect myself, my family, my wife, my home, this is an xlp365. it comes with a 15 ground magazine. here's a seven round magazine.

this is why gun reform in america is difficult, senate republicans need to be on board for any laws to be passed. they think any restrictions threaten american people's constitutional right to own guns. president biden's called their lack of action unconscionable. so far the only area of possible bipartisan agreement involves red flag laws which let authorities take guns from people at high risk of harming themselves or others. 19 states have them. but critic say that just doesn't go far enough to stop america's unique nightmare of enduring gun violence. it is almost half past 5pm. now it's time for a look at the weather with thomas. the weather has turned now across many parts of the uk. we had

glorious sunshine for days now, not everywhere, but the clouds are starting to build. downpours in normal of wales in the last few hours of torrential rain causing some problems here, a warning from the met office, and these lightning icons here indicate that ever increasing risk of thundery downpours through the course of tonight across broadly this southwestern portion of the uk. elsewhere, it's going to be absolutely fine, so certainly the lake district, northern ireland scotland, you are in for a dry evening and night. to markham that risk of storing venus increases even more. when i say starring ines, there will certainly be some sunshine around because the storms are very discreet, they are separated in between, you've got some sunshine. that's why we call them very hit and miss. i think the vast majority of us are in for a fine day. 20 to send xl a cs isles, saturday night into sunday, the next round of thundery weather heading our way and will spread across the country on sunday. like i said to me

yesterday, gazebos at the ready. hello this is bbc news with annita mcveigh. the headlines: buckingham palace says the queen won't be attending the derby tomorrow, but is expected to watch the horse racing on television at windsor castle. in her absence, the queen was represented by prince charles at today's thanksgiving service at st paul's cathedral after feeling "discomfort" during yesterday's celebrations. it was the first public appearance in the uk for the duke and duchess of sussex in two years. during the service, tributes were paid to the queen's years of service. princess anne visits edinburgh zoo and feeds the penguins, as members of the royalfamily travel to the uk nations to celebrate thejubilee. in other news, a crowded train has derailed in southern germany leaving four passengers dead and around 30 people injured, some seriously. the accident happened near the town of garmisch.

it is notjust st paul's cathedral. over the coming days, right across the country, prayer services will be held for the queen. we pray for the church and the world, and especially for our patron her majesty the queen on this special week of celebration of her life and work. the queen holds the title of supreme governor of the church of england, and there's a sense she has led by example. she has dedicated herself to the country. dedicated herself to the religion as well. and she lives her life by it. she teaches us to be constant, to believe. of course she has appointed bishops and archbishops as part of her role but, every year, in christmas broadcasts, there are insights into the way the queen's faith guides her more broadly. and those who have spent time in her presence talk of moments when that has shone through. and ijust found myself kneeling down and saying to her, - "will you say a prayer for me?" this time, she stood up. because, normally, you kneel, she sits in the chair. _ but she stood up. no word was said. about three minutes, i and she said, "amen." i will never know what kind of prayer she prayed, - but ijust felt within myself, -

actually, i am in front of a very, very humble, holy person. in recent decades in particular, the queen has worked to include those of other faiths or no faith, visiting temples and synagogues and gurdwaras. and in 2002 she became the first monarch to visit a british mosque, in scunthorpe. afzal khan was the man who presented her with the koran then. he says now that, in the months of fear and division following the 9/11 attacks, that visit had a profound impact. we were suffering in a way that we were frightened. we needed some sort of support from someone, and that support came in from the queen, and that gave us something that made us part of british society. after her visit, we were feeling that we are the same. it doesn't matter if anyone shouted at us, "terrorists," we are still british.

that really had that big effect on you? yes, it did. yes, yes. it's why today's service at st paul's wasn'tjust to give thanks for the queen's reign and her faith, but was also to pay tribute to her commitment to foster unity. aleem maqbool, bbc news. this weekend promises celebrations from the world of music and dance, with a concert at the palace tomorrow night and the platinumjubilee pageant taking place on sunday afternoon. it will be led by the gold state coach through the streets of central london, where it will pass by buckingham palace. 0ur royal correspondent, sarah campbell, has been speaking to some of those involved in the event's finale. on an east end factory site next to the thames, a dragon has come to life. she breathes! gliding up the mall, the giant puppet will symbolise the enormity of the role taken on by the young princess elizabeth, played by dancerjanice ho.

it's basically about young princess elizabeth and she has a sense of freedom at the beginning, but then she meets the dragon and how she deals with that — is it with a sense of fear, or does she play with it and become friends with it? and how excited are you to be playing princess elizabeth in the pageant? i'm really, really excited, this is such a big opportunity. around 10,000 people will take part, there will be dancers, vehicles, puppets... ..and much else, all telling the story of the queen and the uk through her long reign. and riding on open—topped buses, the great and good from each decade, including dame kelly holmes, double olympic gold medallist and honorary colonel of the british army. the pageant will be amazing. i've already spoken to a couple of people who will be on our bus and all very excited. we can't quite visualise what it's going to be. it seems like it will be more like a carnival, i would expect.

it is just amazing to be one of the, i think, 150 national treasures. a weird thing for you to say, personally, but it means a lot to be part of it. children will play a big part. these pupils from luton will be dressed as the flowers which decorated the queen's coronation gown. i'm very excited, i'm nervous, and | it is a once—in—a—lifetime dream. | she has been on the throne 70 whole years. that is a lot. i'm very proud of her. she's done an amazing job. she is a very good queen. leading the pageant along the mall, the gold state coach that transported the queen on coronation day, and images from 1953 will be shown on its windows. having paraded up the mall, the musicalfinale of the pageant, led by ed sheeran, will take place on that stage you can just see through the barriers there. that's sunday afternoon. the night before, saturday night, musical royalty will pay their own tribute at the party at the palace.

it is so overpowering to... i'm so happyjust to be part of it, because there was a point where i thought they don't want me and i was over the moon when i was signed on. after two years of a pandemic which has kept people apart, the stage is set for a weekend which aims to bring people together once again. sarah campbell, bbc news, buckingham palace. in other news, there's growing concern among some health experts that monkeypox, and other infectious diseases, could be transmitted to animals via human medical waste. it comes as cases of the virus surge outside of africa, where it's usually found. 0ur reporter shelley phelps has more. scientists are struggling to explain the current crop of monkeypox cases. they've mostly been identified in europe — which is not used to
