11/06/2016 Newsround

I'm Ayshah, live from Newsround HQ this Saturday.

Keep watching for the lowdown on The Cursed Child from JK Rowling.

And the crafty cockerel picking out the winners for Euro 2016.

First up, it's the Queen's birthday today.

You might remember she had a birthday back in April,

but because she's the Queen she gets two.

More than 1,000 officers, 200 horses and 400 musicians

are putting on a big military parade for her called Trooping the Colour.

There are street parties happening everywhere in the UK this weekend.

To mark her big day, she also announces an honours list

of people who've made special contributions to the UK

Tim Peake is on the list this year, so are TV presenters Ant and Dec.

Potter fans prepare yourselves - JK Rowling and her team

from The Cursed Child, John Tiffany the director

and Jack Thorne the writer, sat down with the BBC

Arts Editor Will Gompertz to answer some questions

They're not giving much away about The Cursed Child play -

Why is it too important for people to keep this secret? Because we

would like people who buy a ticket in January as the person who comes

to see tonight. What has changed in the wizard in world over the last 19

years? You don't really need technology if you need magic and it

is a bit of a point of pride with wizards that they continue to use

the way rather than the world's way. Having said that, things have

changed politically. Definitely. So we are living in the different age.

And the rules governing wizardry have changed as a result. What was

the thing you are most open to produce for Harry Potter fans? I

have seen a full dress rehearsal and I was blown away by it. The

characters are very true to the earlier selves and we wanted to do

something completely new with these characters that we know and love,

and some new characters. Do we get to see character is that we know and

love that we thought were gone forever? No comment. No comment at

all! OK. Nice try! Hashtag keep the secret. Hashtag don't be a warm

Euro 2016 kicked off yesterday with host's France beating Romania

2-1 at the Stade De France, but on the second day

of the tournament it's all about home nations England

and Wales, who will be playing their first matches later today.

I'm at the Stade de Bordeaux, where in just a few hours' time

Wales will play in their first ever game in the Euros and their

first match in a major tournament for 58 years!

They're up against Slovakia just through there.

Thousands of Welsh fans have travelled here to

The city centre has been full of red shirts and flags with

They will be pinning their hopes on star player Gareth Bale -

the most expensive player in the world, he's no stranger

He plays for one of the world's most famous teams, Real Madrid.

It's a massive day for Wales, so how will they get

Well, we asked a very special Newsround member -

Pierre the predicting Newsround cockerel!

It is time to hear Pierre's prediction.

Pierre thinks Wales are going to win it.

Well, earlier on today I spoke to former Wales international

player John Hartson, who gave me a prediction

Lovely to have you here. Can't you tell us your prediction for the

match today? Of course I am proud Welshman, a former international

myself, so I will have to go for Wales to win. I will go 2-0. I think

it will be close, but I think we just have the edge. How good can

Gareth Bale be in this tournament? As good as he wants to be,

basically. If he performs at the level that we know he can, he can

exceed all expectations. He is such are dynamic, explosive player. If

Gareth Bale turns it on, if he plays to the level that he can, he can

take Wales on to another level. So, that's it, Wales are just a few

hours from kick-off. I'll bring you the reaction

tomorrow morning. That's all from Newsround right now,

but we've got all the excitement in the build up to the England match
