You can't be anything but bd impressed by the way the cotnties

:00:00.:00:23.

around England have turned over this.

:00:24.:00:51.

And I'm in Cambridge with it all started with the Grand Depart just

:00:52.:00:57.

over that we will have all the reaction from the city with cycling

:00:58.:01:00.

at its very core. photographed village in England and

:01:01.:01:19.

it is easy to see why. Especially earlier when it was bathed hn

:01:20.:01:26.

sunlight. There were 10,000 people here watching the Tour de France,

:01:27.:01:29.

through. Around 1 million pdople watched it across the region and in

:01:30.:01:34.

this village and they watchdd it from all sorts of vantage point If

:01:35.:01:38.

you look at the church clock there were people up on top of thd church

:01:39.:01:43.

tower and they reckon that just before 25 past one today thd first

:01:44.:01:49.

two raiders came through. Then we waited around for the half linutes

:01:50.:01:54.

until just before 1:30pm whdn we got the main peloton coming through The

:01:55.:01:59.

astonishing thing is that the embankment behind me was covered by

:02:00.:02:03.

people. Everyone was enjoying a great day. One of the great things

:02:04.:02:09.

about the Tour de France was that everyone got involved. The police

:02:10.:02:12.

were coming through, those on motorcycles, some of them actually

:02:13.:02:18.

took their hands off the handlebars as the cycle through so it has been

:02:19.:02:22.

a great stay here. We will have more of the day's newsletter in the

:02:23.:02:25.

programme but let's start the coverage in Cambridge. Front row,

:02:26.:02:39.

splash of colour, everyone lade it. The city looking its best. We think

:02:40.:02:45.

it was a once in a lifetime opportunity, but it has seeled so

:02:46.:02:50.

successful they may come back! Cambridge is a great role model for

:02:51.:02:55.

the other towns in Britain to see what can be achieved. The UK's

:02:56.:03:00.

cycling capital, a match made in heaven with a British fuel. How did

:03:01.:03:06.

it go? And should be a straightforward run. Compardd to the

:03:07.:03:11.

last few days. Receiving a very famous Cambridge sendoff. They will

:03:12.:03:15.

not start racing until later, then it is 12 miles within Cambrhdgeshire

:03:16.:03:20.

before this whole road show moves all of the way through to Essex

:03:21.:03:25.

They can hardly contain thelselves, praying position to greet the pellet

:03:26.:03:30.

on. We are in the heart of the town, it is hard to believe that

:03:31.:03:36.

nearly 200 raiders will squdeze in the year. It will be a good race.

:03:37.:03:42.

The sun is out so this corndr is the best place in town. The crowds and

:03:43.:03:46.

seemingly, it is the best sport I have ever been to. There we are the

:03:47.:03:52.

chasing pack known as the pdllet on, the atmosphere is incredibld. ``

:03:53.:03:57.

peloton. What a view of the action area. So

:03:58.:04:06.

far, so good. All of the rahders are adding safely at the head ott of

:04:07.:04:10.

town and into the heart of the Essex countryside. This is how streets

:04:11.:04:14.

just north of Chelmsford, htndreds converged on the verge having a real

:04:15.:04:21.

blast. Well, almost. No drop`off in peace for the pros, 19 minutes in.

:04:22.:04:27.

Here, the main pack, is chilling moment. A moment of great contrast.

:04:28.:04:33.

For this tiny community, thhs is a camel to is welcome. This h`s been a

:04:34.:04:37.

good couple of months in thd making, when you start looking this morning

:04:38.:04:42.

at four o'clock pulling your hair out to work out where an extra

:04:43.:04:47.

prison with a gazebo goes that is part of the fun! For the organisers

:04:48.:04:51.

it is about legacy, for the raiders that is about this link. He`ding to

:04:52.:04:57.

cancel. Two hours and 12 minutes in setting off and now 50 miles into

:04:58.:05:01.

the stage at the riders are streaming through the usually

:05:02.:05:06.

tranquil Essex countryside. The tour 's long`awaited arrival will be at

:05:07.:05:09.

Telstra and has triggered a celebration of cycling. Lots of

:05:10.:05:14.

people came out, it has been great to meet people, other cyclists, talk

:05:15.:05:19.

about returns the tour. There was some disappointment because Alex

:05:20.:05:26.

deficit had not made the totr. He will try to get into the totr next

:05:27.:05:30.

time. He needs this box tapdd. This is a bigger tour. As locals reclaim

:05:31.:05:38.

the tour, it continued on its 4 miles to the finish. We havd had a

:05:39.:05:46.

gloriously hot day as I say, in the skies opened about 20 minutds ago

:05:47.:05:52.

but let me show you some pictures of the end of the Tour de France. It

:05:53.:05:56.

went to Chelmsford and then passed the Olympic Park into London and the

:05:57.:06:01.

winner was Marcel Kittel who won the first stage as well, he is having a

:06:02.:06:04.

very good Tour de France. It was around three hours 30 minutds and 30

:06:05.:06:08.

seconds to do the whole course. It was raining in the mall when he got

:06:09.:06:13.

there. That did not dampen our day`to`day, with the top 22 guys who

:06:14.:06:18.

have done well. He is, landlord of the fox in. And Frank Tyler, a

:06:19.:06:25.

restaurant. Any idea how much business you have done? It has been

:06:26.:06:29.

a weeks business in a day. 400 copies for breakfast. And wd ran out

:06:30.:06:39.

of taken, 400 bands in. Excdllent. And you have special deals with

:06:40.:06:44.

celebratory packages and evdrything? , we had a marquee on the green

:06:45.:06:49.

which is still going on, but the also had 80 people within the pub

:06:50.:06:54.

who had a champagne breakfast and a four course lunch. We have sold a

:06:55.:06:59.

lot of beer and wine have h`ve had a great day. A lot of beer behng

:07:00.:07:06.

dumped out your! And my feet are a little sore now. I brought hn extra

:07:07.:07:16.

staff, my children came in. Apart from the business, when you looked

:07:17.:07:21.

out, this is a place that you do come to every day. What was your

:07:22.:07:27.

reaction? I have lived in 18 years and we thought, what will it be

:07:28.:07:32.

like? It was so friendly. Stch nice people. They queued all day and got

:07:33.:07:38.

their drinks and said thank you and it was great. It was fantastic. It

:07:39.:07:42.

made us all immensely proud of the village, it was lovely. A lovely

:07:43.:07:49.

day. Thank you for coming ott this evening in the rain. I hope that

:07:50.:08:08.

cries out for the celebrations. I was here at 7am this morning and the

:08:09.:08:15.

crowds were already beginning to gather. By the time of the start

:08:16.:08:20.

there were tens of thousands of people lining the small strdets

:08:21.:08:25.

around here. It's been a terrific day and Parkers piece here hn the

:08:26.:08:30.

centre of Cambridge is wherd all the partying has taken place today.

:08:31.:08:35.

Things are being cleaned up now but you can see the tents behind me

:08:36.:08:41.

That was the village city, encouraging more people to get on

:08:42.:08:46.

their bikes. You can still smell the cooking of French food in the market

:08:47.:08:48.

here. It's been a terrific day. As dawn broke over Cambridgd the

:08:49.:09:04.

UK's capital of cycling was preparing to host the biggest race

:09:05.:09:11.

of them all. How long have xou been here? From 6:15am. Just abott two

:09:12.:09:19.

hours. And you're right on the start line, that's amazing. How excited

:09:20.:09:27.

are you? Very excited. A fl`vour of France in the centre of Cambridge. A

:09:28.:09:32.

party was starting on the green and everyone was invited. I just saw you

:09:33.:09:39.

through the crowd with this bike. Tell me about it. I needed to answer

:09:40.:09:45.

the question, can I ride a Penny Farthing. So I decided to btild one.

:09:46.:09:56.

This was Regent Street, packed by about six deep in places. Others

:09:57.:10:07.

found a way to avoid the crowds Flags, cameras and mobile phones

:10:08.:10:11.

were at the ready. This is the moment we've all been waiting for.

:10:12.:10:15.

The well's a lead cyclists whizzing past.

:10:16.:10:19.

It's really exciting to be here in the middle of it

:10:20.:10:27.

We were expecting crowds and a lot of people but this is absolttely

:10:28.:10:36.

packed. Everyone has moved on to watch the rest of the race on the

:10:37.:10:42.

big screen. What was it likd? Absolutely brilliant. Peopld

:10:43.:10:49.

shouting. Motorbikes. It was really magnificent. It was a great

:10:50.:11:02.

atmosphere wasn't it? This hs a birds eye view of the city. On the

:11:03.:11:08.

ground there was real optimhsm that it had been great for busindss. I

:11:09.:11:13.

took hundreds of pounds of additional income for the pdople.

:11:14.:11:17.

People were spending their loney with a happy smile on their face. A

:11:18.:11:22.

day that had been planned for months. A race that had been gone in

:11:23.:11:26.

a matter of seconds. The many memories will last much longer. And

:11:27.:11:35.

joined now by attorney. It's been amazing has Nick? Tremendous, a real

:11:36.:11:39.

party. You seconds to get through. We waited

:11:40.:14:06.

for hours, but it was worth it. We'll be back here later in the

:14:47.:14:49.

development near Wellingborough held up because a bridge nedds to be

:14:50.:14:54.

built over the railway line. Now it will be built. A new campus for

:14:55.:14:59.

Northampton College. Just three of the projects getting funding today

:15:00.:15:03.

which according to the government and local business leaders will help

:15:04.:15:07.

the economy to grow. This investment allows us to deliver thousands more

:15:08.:15:15.

jobs, significant numbers of homes and it will also help us to grow our

:15:16.:15:20.

economy significantly. Some of the money will help

:15:21.:15:22.

out of superfast broadband. There will also be extra cash for the

:15:23.:15:26.

Cambridge biomedical campus, and loans for small companies which want

:15:27.:15:30.

to expand. Today the Local Government Secretary was th`t one

:15:31.:15:34.

search ` one such company to trumpet the amount of money going into the

:15:35.:15:39.

local area. It's going to do all kinds of things with regards to

:15:40.:15:42.

transport links, housing links, getting new things moving. The best

:15:43.:15:48.

part of it is it's being done in partnership with local people.

:15:49.:15:53.

That's an important developlent Local business groups deciddd where

:15:54.:15:58.

this investment should go. When we had the old regional governlent

:15:59.:16:04.

agency, Hertfordshire tended to get forgotten. What we've seen today is

:16:05.:16:08.

the local enterprise partnership for Hertfordshire has done a fantastic

:16:09.:16:12.

job in saying this is what the county needs.

:16:13.:16:20.

A man has been arrested on suspicion of rape following an attack

:16:21.:16:23.

on a woman at her home near Milton Keynes.

:16:24.:16:25.

It happened on Saturday near the town of Olney.

:16:26.:16:27.

One raped the woman, who's in her 50s, while the other

A court has ordered more th`n ?20,000 be paid in fines

and costs after a teenager was thrown from ` new

:16:40.:16:41.

The incident happened at Knebworth Park in August 2009.

:16:42.:16:45.

It left a 15`year`old with life`threatening injuries.

:16:46.:16:48.

Serious defects on the ride had not been identhfied.

:16:49.:16:52.

Four people, including the ride manufacturer, were found guhlty

:16:53.:16:54.

Now, more than 300,000 Formtla One fans visited Silverstone yesterday

:16:55.:17:01.

The race was won by the Stevenage driver Lewis Hamilton.

:17:02.:17:06.

When the Formula One bandwagon comes to Silverstone, it does not travel

:17:07.:17:15.

lightly ` motorhomes, movie stars and big, big crowds

:17:16.:17:21.

Whilst tens of thousands come to Silverstone

:17:22.:17:23.

on foot or by car, in actual fact it is the heliport behind me which

:17:24.:17:27.

really demonstrates the sizd and scale of the British Grand Prix

:17:28.:17:31.

In effect, it becomes the world s busiest airport when Silverstone

:17:32.:17:34.

We have up 180 helicopters hn and out all day long.

:17:35.:17:44.

It's about, in total, 800 movements in one day and we have

:17:45.:17:51.

Silverstone's future was in doubt a few years back

:17:52.:17:53.

but now the sport's boss has become its biggest supporter.

:17:54.:17:55.

When I used to come here long ago it was a tip.

:17:56.:18:02.

In the space of four days the control centre here monitors the

:18:03.:18:06.

A 21 century nerve centre for one of the most watched sporting

:18:07.:18:12.

We control everything in here, from traffic

:18:13.:18:19.

between the motorways for about a 15 mile radius, we've got the highways

:18:20.:18:22.

operating in here, the ambulance ` all the blue lights, basically.

:18:23.:18:26.

The question on the track was whether Stdvenage's

:18:27.:18:28.

Lewis Hamilton could win from as far back as sixth on the grid.

:18:29.:18:31.

The race had to be restarted after an initial crash.

:18:32.:18:33.

Hamilton, though, kept his cool when teammate and rival Nico Rosberg

:18:34.:18:37.

It gave Hamilton the lead, which he cherished to the chequered flag

:18:38.:18:43.

Coming into this weekend, but also when I started the race,

:18:44.:18:47.

I really had my eyes set on getting that win for the fans.

:18:48.:18:51.

I could see the fans as I w`s going through the different compldxes

:18:52.:18:54.

What difference does it makd have a British winner

:18:55.:18:57.

I've never been before so it's a first experience for me.

:18:58.:19:02.

50th anniversary and a Brithsh winner.

:19:03.:19:07.

No better way to celebrate 40 years of Formula One at Silverstone.

:19:08.:19:16.

A record breaking fine for Network Rail is being used to

:19:17.:19:19.

improve wi`fi services on commuter routes into London.

:19:20.:19:22.

Services on the East Coast mainline and Greater

:19:23.:19:25.

Network Rail is facing a ?50 million fine for poor punctuality c`used by

:19:26.:19:40.

But it's time now to go back to Stewart in the village

:19:41.:20:36.

Fans of the tour started arriving in the village at 4am and buying nine,

:20:37.:20:45.

it was busy. A big day for local traders and for the many cycling

:20:46.:20:50.

clubs who had come to watch. This club had come from Luton. Wd thought

:20:51.:20:57.

this was a night spot ` nicd spot because they sell bacon rolls. We go

:20:58.:21:02.

out on a Saturday and we ard known as the bacon roll is becausd there

:21:03.:21:05.

must be a bacon roll involvdd somewhere before we go home. There

:21:06.:21:10.

was Morris dancing, kids wrhting on the road and vans selling Tour de

:21:11.:21:18.

France merchandise. From thd air, flinching field looked a picture.

:21:19.:21:24.

Steve and Eve Graham own a house at the top of the village and had one

:21:25.:21:28.

of the best seats in the hotse. You are on the beer. Of course! It's

:21:29.:21:37.

only 11am. That's late for ts. Look at this, it's superb. It cale

:21:38.:21:41.

through flinching field just after 1pm. After a long wait, herd comes

:21:42.:21:54.

the pellet on. Team Sky well up the front, it's hard to see much. Very

:21:55.:21:59.

exciting. Absolutely excelldnt, it flashed by in ten to 20 seconds

:22:00.:22:01.

crowd jeering. Let's speak to the parish council

:22:02.:22:29.

chairman. You've lived here all your life. Have you seen a day lhke

:22:30.:22:34.

this? Quite extraordinary, we were up early and the atmosphere was

:22:35.:22:38.

electric. It's been a great thrill and it was a huge success for

:22:39.:22:43.

everybody. I've talked to loads of people and it's put us back on the

:22:44.:22:48.

map. It is the most photogr`phed village in the country, but it

:22:49.:22:52.

looked a picture today. It looked fantastic. Fantastic day for the

:22:53.:23:02.

village, a great day for evdryone here, visitors and residents, and

:23:03.:23:05.

hopefully successful for thd businesses. A wonderful famhly

:23:06.:23:08.

atmosphere all day. We've h`d a great day as well. Let's go back to

:23:09.:23:13.

Cambridge. Thousands of people were in

:23:14.:23:18.

Cambridge today and nearly `ll of them either had a tablet or a mobile

:23:19.:23:23.

phone ready to capture the loment the pellet on whizzed past. Many of

:23:24.:23:28.

you were sharing your storids and your pictures.

:23:29.:23:37.

We had this stunning picturd sent to us of the riders going past Kings

:23:38.:23:46.

College in Cambridge. Here's a selection of the best of thd rest.

:23:47.:24:55.

Thank you to all of you who got in touch to help us record this very

:24:56.:25:24.

special day. For me it was best summed up by this family from

:25:25.:25:29.

Suffolk who simply said it's been a great party.

:25:30.:25:37.

Right, the sun hasn't come out, but at least the rain has stoppdd.

:25:38.:25:39.

That's part of the It could be 2425 Celsius. Those are

:25:40.:27:21.

your overnight lows. Today H've seen people watching the Tour de France

:27:22.:27:25.

standing on the back of trahlers so who they can see over the hdads of

:27:26.:27:30.

people in front. I've seen people on a flatbed truck, they've bedn

:27:31.:27:34.

hanging out of windows. The organisers said they wanted this

:27:35.:27:38.

region to be shown in a verx special light. The sun shone, the rhders

:27:39.:27:45.

came and this region looked a picture. From all of us, good night.
