Weekend of celebrations for Queen's birthday
Celebrations are taking place for Her Majesty's 90th birthday on Sunday. Many towns across the South are celebrating in typical British fashion - with afternoon tea and street parties.
Special train carriage in honour of Queen unveiled
Great Western Railway is celebrating the Queen’s 90th birthday with a specially designed livery on one of its trains.
The High Speed Train Power Car will be in service from today travelling the length of the Great Western Main Line as the celebrations take place across our region.
A specialist team ‘wrapped’ the train in a day at GWR’s Laira Depot and it carries images of the flying flags of the Royal Standard and the Union.
The rail company have released this time lapse footage of how the commemorative wrap was put in place.
