The latest leg of the Queen's Jubilee Tour was also scheduled to take in Leicester and Derby on Thursday.

They are then due to travel to Derby County Football Club's Pride Park for a Jubilee display. Dancers, singers and gymnasts will take part in the display, which will end with a new song for the Queen being sung by 2,000 people. Members of the football club's two championship-winning sides will also take part in the afternoon parade. |
