Royal Visit

The Queen, along with Prince Philip and Prince Charles arrive at Finsley gate in Burnley yesterday morning.

A member of the crowd tries to catch a glimpse of the Queen from on top of a bridge as she sets off in a Canal barge with Prince Philip and Prince Charles along the Leeds Liverpool canal

Prince Philip waves from the front of a canal barge as it makes it's way towards the Weavers triangle in Burnley

Next stop was Accrington where a large crowd of people had already gathered to catch a glimpse of the Queen as she stepped out onto the Balcony of the Town hall.

False alarm.....The real Queen isn't due for another hour.

Finally...A quick wave before sitting down to watch a parade through Accrington town centre.

Rovers Relegated

Blackburn rovers fans protest outside the clubs Players entrance after a 1-0 defeat to Wigan last night which saw the club relegated from the Premier league for the first time in 11 years.

Security and Police officers intervene after a small group tried to break through the security railings and enter the ground.

A young fan, away from the protests stands dejected after watching his team lose before leaving the ground, still carrying his banner.
