Good afternoon guys!

Jenny here with your Sunday lunchtime Newsround.

Coming up -

An amazing air display...

The UK's tallest ever bridge!

First up, Wales will be smiling after a win

in their World Cup qualifying match against Austria.

A goal from 17-year-old Ben Woodburn on his first match

for his country gave Wales a crucial 1-0 victory.

It means Wales are four points off the top of their group.

Only the top team qualifies automatically for next

year's finals in Russia.

A record-shattering Nasa astronaut has touched down safely

to Earth this morning, after finishing a near

ten month mission to the International Space Station.

Peggy Whitson has racked up 665 days in space in her career,

more than any other American astronaut in history.

She's also the oldest female astronaut ever,

and holds the record for number of spacewalks by a woman.

She's done it ten times!

Next up, tomorrow the the Queen will officially open

the brand new tallest bridge in the UK.

Yesterday some ticket holders got the chance to walk over it,

without any traffic.

But where is it and just how big is it?

Here's what you need to know.

The Queensferry Crossing - that's the brand-new 2.7 kilometre

bridge over the River Forth in Scotland, linking

Edinburgh and Fife.

The Queensferry Crossing stands a massive 207 metres

above high tide.

That's as high as 48 double decker buses stacked on top of each other.

The steel in the bridge deck weighs 35,000 tonnes.

That's almost 200 Boeing 747s.

It has special wind shields along each side to protect traffic

from wind, so it can stay open even in the stormiest of conditions -

much needed on the windy Forth Estuary.

The foundation supports are sunk into the mud down to the bedrock.

Just one of them is as tall as the Statue of Liberty.

And an online ballot was held to give 50,000 people the once

in a lifetime chance to walk across the bridge.

Nearly five times that number applied.

Most are from Scotland and the rest of the UK,

but some are from the US, India and one is from Slovakia.

The Queen officially opens it on Monday and the day after 10,000

local school kids will be able to walk on the bridge too.

Then on Thursday next week, the Queensferry crossing

will open for business.

All summer, people have been taking part in Pride festivals,

which celebrate lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender

culture.

It's 50 years since it was made legal for men to be gay in England

and Wales, and attitudes then were very different.

Newsround viewer Megan went to one of Britain's biggest Pride

festivals to find out more.

I've come up to Manchester for the very first time this weekend to

visit Pride festival.

Although most people are here to celebrate and

have a great time I've come up for a different reason,

to meet my Uncle Andrew who took part in one of the very

first Pride rallies.

I want to find out what his life was like back then.

What was it like for you back then when you first came out?

It was, in one way, very lonely because I only knew one person who

was gay and I was already 25.

People hid themselves.

You didn't know.

How do did you feel coming out in society when it wasn't legalised?

Most of us who wanted to lead ordinarily lives were aware we

might end up in prison.

Over a thousand of us a year were being sent to prison.

Did anyone say anything to you?

I was refused a job once when they found out...

Well, they didn't find out I was gay, I told them I was.

One existing member of the staff said, I am not working in

the same office as somebody who is gay.

They withdrew the offer of a job.

Have people's attitudes towards being gay and the LGBT

community changed?

Yes, they have.

Depends where you are.

They haven't changed if you are in many countries

around the world.

But they have changed...

Britain has done very well.

What advice would you give to people coming out now?

I would say there is a warm and welcoming world out here

for you as you come out.

I'd never really heard my uncle talk about his life before.

It was a really lovely for me to get to know his

experiences and what he has been through.

So proud of everything he has done.

Next, crowds in the south of England have been wowed

by a spectacular display team that shoots fireworks from their planes.

Check this out!

Dancing like sparklers above the water at Bournemouth Air Festival.

Two pilots race, turn and dive together side-by-side, rocketing

fireworks through the night sky.

The Twister duo are one of the world's

first aero pyrotechnic display teams.

They ducked and dived, lighting up the night sky as

thousands of people below were thrilled by the show.

Newsround's back right here just after two o'clock.
