And I'm Lettice from Britain's Got Talent, and I'm on Newsround. | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
Please keep watching it. First, it was a big day | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
for the Queen today. She travelled to Westminster | :00:23. | :00:24. | |
in London to give a special speech during the | :00:25. | :00:26. | |
State Opening of Parliament. It's an historic ceremony that | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
involves some interesting traditions and lots of important people | :00:30. | :00:31. | |
in fancy robes, and today there was The Queen and her husband, Prince | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
Philip, left Buckingham Palace this They travelled to Westminster | :00:35. | :00:41. | |
in their brand-new carriage. It weighs three tonnes and has been | :00:42. | :00:47. | |
designed to celebrate the country's rich history, containing bits | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
of important buildings like Westminster Abbey and parts from | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
royal ships and historic aircraft. After the Queen put | :00:55. | :01:00. | |
on her special crown and robe, she went to the House of Lords to | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
give the Queen's Speech. As part of the ceremony, | :01:04. | :01:09. | |
MPs from the House of Commons are summoned to come and | :01:10. | :01:11. | |
hear the speech by a senior House of He has the door slammed in his | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
face before he knocks three times. It might seem strange, but it's done | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
to symbolise the independence My lords and members of the House of | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
Commons. In the Queen's Speech, | :01:25. | :01:34. | |
the Queen sets out the Government's Today they included a plan to charge | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
5p for plastic bags across England, a change to rules on how much help | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
parents get towards the cost of childcare and more changes to exams | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
to help improve school standards. The Queen's Speech is a really big | :01:47. | :01:54. | |
day for Parliament because it is the day sets out its to-do list, what it | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
wants to achieve in the coming months, a bit like you might write | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
down that you have got tidy your room or go with your mum to the | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
supermarket. This is the chance for the government to lay out its plans. | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
The Queen comes to Parliament. She speaks the words, but the government | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
writes them for her. And this particular Queen's Speech is | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
important because it is the last one before the general election next | :02:18. | :02:18. | |
year. After the speech, | :02:19. | :02:19. | |
the Queen left Parliament. That signals that it's time for | :02:20. | :02:21. | |
politicians to get back to work. Next, learning how to ride | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
a bike can be pretty tough. However, a new invention could | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
be about to change that. It's a bike that balances all | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
by itself, using the same technology that keeps | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
ships upright in rough seas. It has a gyroscope | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
in its front wheel. The inventors say it's the first | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
of its kind in the world. Amazing magicians, | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
rapping teenagers and dancing grannies - if they're your thing, | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
