This morning, Breakfast took you on an exclusive tour of the State Rooms at Buckingham Palace. The BBC's former Royal Correspondent Jennie Bond is back with us for the day, as palace staff prepare for this summer's visitor season. We'll give you a glimpse of what goes on at the palace - and how the staff look after one of the finest art collections in the world. Banquets and balls : we'll find out what's involved in the Queen's set-piece entertaining, live from the Palace's State Dining Room and the palace ball room. Keeping the wheels turning: Breakfast's Sarah Campbell will visit the Royal Mews to see how the Queen's horses are prepared for their work, drawing the royal coach. We'll also be taking a look at the Palace's unrivalled art collection. Among items on show in the State Rooms are paintings by Rembrandt, Rubens, Vermeer, Poussin, Canaletto and sculpture by Canova.
