On the second day of their latest visit to Northern Ireland, the Queen

and the Duke of Edinburgh were taken on a tour of the refurbished Crumlin

Road Gaol in Belfast, the set of the TV series Game of Thrones and Saint

George's Market in the city centre.

The last time the Queen visited Belfast City Hall

Today, she brought with her a message that

trust, respect and justice should be the cornerstones of society.

I know there are many challenges ahead and peacemaking

But you have come this far by turning the impossible

And as you face the future and difficulties that may appear

insurmountable, always remember that the thoughts

and prayers of millions, including my own, are with you.

It was a busy day for the Royal couple.

It started with a tour of Crumlin Road Gaol - the first time

Although the First and Deputy First Ministers had both seen the inside

Being here, the first time she has been a prison, some of the rest of

us cannot say that, and I think it was a remarkable experience for her.

From there, it was to the Titanic Quarter

visit and to be told that Peter Lavery would open up the distillery

here. It was very exciting. The Queen was shown

the infamous Iron Throne from the series - a chair forged from

the swords of 1000 defeated foes. In any case,

the Queen looked but didn't sit. This was where the public got the

chance to get close to the monarch. It was a special day

for three-year-old Jack Morgan as he gave the Queen a present

from one of the stalls. But not before one young man managed

to get close enough to nab After lunch at City Hall,

it was Hillsborough - the official residence of the Queen

when in Northern Ireland. Here, the Royal couple hosted

a garden party. And we'll have more coverage

of the Royal visit tomorrow A 50-year-old woman has died

after her car went off the road It happened a few miles out

of the city on Fathom Line. Police and the coastguard were

involved in the recovery operation. The woman who died was Patricia

Campbell from the Newry area. Five men and one woman have been

arrested in what's understood to be an investigation into paramilitary

punishment type attacks. A number of homes in the west

Belfast and Dunmurry areas were searched by the police in connection

with dissident republican activity. A team in charge of a plan to build

a new training college for the police, fire and prison

services will next week recommend There's been a lot of speculation

that the plan for Desertcreat, near Cookstown, first proposed ten

years ago, would be scrapped Billed as one

of the best police training colleges It was later changed to include

the fire and prison services. A huge complex of accommodation for

more than 300 people, 40 classrooms and purpose-built villages to train

police officers and firemen in Instead, not a sod has been turned

on the site at Desertcreat. The plan was put on hold in April

when it was decided that the preferred bidder selected could

not do so for the specified budget A board in charge

of the project has spent the last There has been much speculation that

the board would declare the project dead and recommend

refurbishing existing training facilities or building a much

smaller college at a new location. We understand that is not the

case and that no other potential It is understood the board will tell

the Justice Committee next week the Desertcreat project should

continue. Escalating construction costs mean

the estimated bill for building the college would be almost ?140

million. That is ?26 million within allocated, so the board is revising

the plan, making changes to the overall design, the number of

buildings and construction materials used. Sources say more work is

needed but they believe the project can be delivered close to

the original budget. BBC Newsline has learned the

Former Assistant Chief Constable, Duncan McCausland, was expected to

be appointed chairman of But Mr McCausland has asked

for a leave of absence pending the outcome of

an investigation over the awarding The former officer, who was arrested

and questioned by detectives last The Parades Commission is to review

its decision on a contentious march The Orange Order had been granted

permission to walk along Victoria The Parades Commission ruling has

said this part of the route is Nationalists, including the

Garvaghy Road Residents Coalition, have objected to the march,

describing it as provocative. Unionists say that Victoria Terrace

is not part of the Garvaghy Road. There are areas of Victoria Terrace,

just off Castle Terrace, that are still full of Unionist families

and who live there in peace. Even in the worst years, the

barriers were much further back. There are people living on both

sides and their help and safety is put at risk by this parade and any

controversy that may surround it. A number of schools have been

left with serious financial difficulties after only finding

out yesterday about staff who Of 167 applications for voluntary

redundancy, only 46 were granted. Another 28 met the criteria but were

rejected because of a cash shortfall Bangor Grammar applied

for two voluntary redundancies to It ticked all the boxes

but was refused. We had been looking to ensure that

we were not managing a bad situation and had hoped that these two

redundancies would assist with that. The fact that neither have been

granted means that we are in a difficult financial situation

and we will be having a deficit Looking ahead to tomorrow's

BBC Newsline - Imagine if you bought an apartment

like one of these, you are living happily in it and then you had a

bill through the door for ?7,000. For repairing a wall 100 yards away.

That is what has happened to a group of 31 residents living in a

development in West Belfast. One owner has been told he could lose

his home if he does not pay. There is nothing they can do and I am not

working at the moment, I don't have savings to pay for that. They are

just saying, we are looking for ?7,000. I will have a special report

on Good Morning Ulster in the morning and Newsline at 6:30 p.m..

There's been a break in the dry weather today.

Let's get the forecast with Cecilia Daly.

There has been little rain in places and there will be rain tonight also.

Hopefully nothing too heavy and with that dampness, it means a mild night

to come with plenty of mist and low cloud over the hills as well. It

will start off grey and murky and places tomorrow and there will be

further splashes of rain on and off through the day. Rain is coming from

the west and it looks like it will be more persistent across Western

counties and some persistent bursts also towards the North Coast

tomorrow and every move out, you can see this rain belonging to this

weather front that is moving north through the rest of Scotland but to

the South, 12 showers over the Republic of Ireland with

temperatures at 22 degrees and for many parts of England and Wales, it

will be dry with sunshine around and temperatures in the low 20s and a

fine day at Wimbledon. 12 showers over South Wales and south-west

England. Northern Ireland has a lot of cloud tomorrow, dab at times with

rain on and off and because of that cloud, temperatures will not get

higher than 16 or 17 degrees for most places. It could feel humid and

muggy with a light breeze coming from the south-east. On Thursday,

still some rain around in that southeasterly breeze, the rain

cooling away so brightening up for the second half of the day with some

brightness to come for Friday and Saturday but heavy showers also,

There has been little rain in places and there will be rain tonight also.
