:00:21. > :00:26.Events to mark the Queen's official 90th birthday
:00:27. > :00:30.More than 1400 soldiers have taken part in the annual
:00:31. > :00:37.The occasion is being celebrated in the air,
:00:38. > :00:40.too, with a fly past by the RAF, and on the River Thames,
:00:41. > :00:43.with a flotilla of historic boats - as our Royal Correspondent,
:00:44. > :00:54.Who is 95th birthday it was yesterday. Ahead of the Queen's
:00:55. > :00:57.carriage went some of the other members of the Royal family
:00:58. > :01:01.including the Duchess of Cornwall, the Duchess of Cambridge and Prince
:01:02. > :01:07.Harry. Riding just behind the Queen the Princess of Wales, - Prince of
:01:08. > :01:14.Wales, Prince William, and the Princess Royal. On Horse Guards
:01:15. > :01:24.Parade, the Queen inspected the massed ranks of the five foot guard
:01:25. > :01:34.regiments. The Massed Bands marched and among the military music... I am
:01:35. > :01:36.sorry for the technical problems we are having with that report.
:01:37. > :01:48.A display of precision and spectacle but what would you say is the
:01:49. > :01:53.significance of today's parade? Yes, which we started to see. A very
:01:54. > :01:57.successful parade by all accounts. The significance of today lies in
:01:58. > :02:01.the numbers that are here, I think these are the largest crowds since
:02:02. > :02:04.the Diamond Jubilee four years ago. The other striking thing has been
:02:05. > :02:09.the very apparent warmth that there was just a few minutes ago, when the
:02:10. > :02:19.Queen and other members of the Royal family appeared on the balcony of
:02:20. > :02:21.Buckingham Palace for the fly past by the Royal Air Force. There was
:02:22. > :02:24.Prince George and Princess Charlotte also taking part in that appearance
:02:25. > :02:27.on the balcony. Prince George we saw last to add to bring the Curragh,
:02:28. > :02:30.they were watching the fly past by the red arrows and other aircraft of
:02:31. > :02:35.the Royal Air Force. Of course what people wanted to see was not so much
:02:36. > :02:40.they fly past as the people on the balcony, the Queen in that very
:02:41. > :02:46.bright green outfit, never mind the red arrows, let's see they Royals!
:02:47. > :02:50.There we are. And with the entire Royal family and the young Prince
:02:51. > :02:55.George returns on these occasions to steal the show come he was doing
:02:56. > :02:58.some aircraft spotting, aided by his father Prince William, and with
:02:59. > :03:03.Princess Charlotte carried by the Duchess of Cambridge. So, all in
:03:04. > :03:07.all, the Queen will have been impressed by the precision of the
:03:08. > :03:13.marching of her Footguards, down on Horse Guards Parade, and the
:03:14. > :03:18.significance of the event, the warmth of the crowds, the real
:03:19. > :03:23.affection that I think is now apparent to this 90-year-old
:03:24. > :03:26.monarchy. And we have celebrations throughout this weekend. There is no
:03:27. > :03:33.question of Her Majesty putting her feet up after today! Absolutely, no,
:03:34. > :03:37.although there was an adjustment to the programme. Normally when the
:03:38. > :03:41.Queen returns from Paul Scott 's parade to Buckingham Palace, she
:03:42. > :03:45.would mount a deus outside Buckingham Palace to take the salute
:03:46. > :03:50.of the troops as they march past. They did not do that this time. So
:03:51. > :03:54.they are small adjustments being made to a programme taking account
:03:55. > :03:59.of her age, she went straight to Buckingham Palace and then to the
:04:00. > :04:02.balcony appearance. Tomorrow is the patron 's lunch, this huge street
:04:03. > :04:09.party as it is being described on the Mall when people who have all
:04:10. > :04:13.paid ?250 to attend this event, many are from charities with which the
:04:14. > :04:18.Queen is associated, and there are street parties, nothing like on the
:04:19. > :04:22.same scale as that, taking part in different parts around the country.
:04:23. > :04:26.Nicolas Witchel, at Buckingham Palace, thank you very much.
:04:27. > :04:28.England football fans have been involved in clashes
:04:29. > :04:30.on the streets of Marseille for the second night running.
:04:31. > :04:32.Trouble broke out between England and Russia
:04:33. > :04:35.supporters in a popular tourist area of the southern port city.
:04:36. > :04:37.Police used tear gas to disperse the crowds.
:04:38. > :04:41.The two teams play their opening match of the tournament tonight.
:04:42. > :04:44.Sir Philip Green has demanded the resignation of the chairman
:04:45. > :04:48.of an inquiry by MPs into the collapse of BHS.
:04:49. > :04:52.The retail billionaire and former owner of the high street chain says
:04:53. > :04:56.Frank Field is trying to 'destroy his reputation'.
:04:57. > :04:59.Sir Philip says he won't participate in the hearing, due to take
:05:00. > :05:06.The Labour MP says it's in his 'interest to turn up'.
:05:07. > :05:09.Libyan forces - who support the UN backed unity government -
:05:10. > :05:12.say they have retaken control of the port in the city of Sirte
:05:13. > :05:17.The city is considered to be the most significant IS stronghold
:05:18. > :05:28.A group of Nobel Prize winning British scientists have signed
:05:29. > :05:30.a letter backing the campaign to keep Britain in
:05:31. > :05:33.They've warned that the UK could lose funding
:05:34. > :05:38.Meanwhile the billionaire inventor Sir James Dyson says he's
:05:39. > :05:40.backing the Leave campaign, arguing that the UK would create
:05:41. > :05:42.more wealth and jobs, outside the EU.
:05:43. > :05:47.Here's our Political Correspondent, Chris Mason.
:05:48. > :05:53.Professor Peter Higgs has spent a lifetime attempting to understand
:05:54. > :05:59.the most basic building blocks of the universe. He has now joined
:06:00. > :06:04.fellow Nobel laureates in pleading for a remain vote. Leaving the EU,
:06:05. > :06:09.they claim, would put scientific research in jeopardy. We have 13
:06:10. > :06:12.Nobel prize-winning lorry it's coming out, some of the smartest
:06:13. > :06:15.people around, saying that if we want science and research to be at
:06:16. > :06:20.the cutting edge in this country we need to stay part of Europe so we
:06:21. > :06:22.can have bad investment. Speaking to both campaigns the referendum feels
:06:23. > :06:24.close. Polling day is imminent,
:06:25. > :06:26.and both sides feel they can win. But the Remain camp often sound
:06:27. > :06:30.nervous about whether they can Whereas the Leave side
:06:31. > :06:40.sounds chipper and upbeat. The man behind these vacuum cleaners
:06:41. > :06:44.has come out for leaving the EU today. He says the European Union
:06:45. > :06:48.sex! Surgeons Dyson has told the Daily Telegraph the UK will create
:06:49. > :06:54.more wealth and more jobs by being outside the EU than we were in it.
:06:55. > :07:01.And when the Remain campaign says that nobody will trade with us if we
:07:02. > :07:04.leave the EU, sorry, it's absolute Cobblers! You have seen with him and
:07:05. > :07:08.a number of other manufacturers that they are beginning to move away from
:07:09. > :07:12.the European Union, the bureaucracy, the costs of doing business there,
:07:13. > :07:15.he talks about that, they are no huge which means that they are
:07:16. > :07:21.looking for other markets around the world. You never know what to expect
:07:22. > :07:26.in the sprint finish of a political campaign, this was Jeremy Corbyn on
:07:27. > :07:31.Channel 4 last night but what we can be certain about is an increasing
:07:32. > :07:37.focus on Labour trying to persuade its supporters to turn out for
:07:38. > :07:41.Remain. But plenty, including their leader, not exactly super
:07:42. > :07:49.enthusiastic. On a scale of one to ten where one is, couldn't care less
:07:50. > :07:55.and ten is jumping on the sofa like Tom Cruise and Oprah Winfrey, and
:07:56. > :08:00.easiest ago you? Seven and a half. No flash car or fur coat with Jeremy
:08:01. > :08:03.Corbyn in Aberdeen today but plenty on his plate.
:08:04. > :08:04.The Birthday Honours List has been announced,
:08:05. > :08:07.as part of the Queen's 90th birthday celebrations.

:08:14. > :08:16.the former footballer Alan Shearer, and more than eleven hundred others.
