Now its time for a look at the weather with helen willetts. Hello. The hot, humid weather continues in southern and eastern areas. Further north, with the sunshine, i think a more pleasant low 20s throughout the rest of today.

But i think the talking point tonight is how humid it will be again, and more so for Northern Ireland and scotland compared with the nightjust gone. And also, the low cloud should clear a little bit more ready through the day tomorrow. Some more sunshine for Northern England equates to higher temperatures, but also an increased risk further west of some showers and some thundery downpours as we go through the day.

Year. The prince actually hadnt attended the state opening i dont think since 1996 before last year, though he had attended several before then. So this is the second time that theyve attended as a couple, and they are now arriving at the sovereigns entrance under the victoria tower, and what well see a little later on is charles and camilla seated at the queens side just on the righthand side of the main throne in the ceremonial chairs, the chairs of state which are being brought in for them. So this is a relatively new development that were seeing. A real sense as well, nick, last time, although these obviously are things that we deal with sensitively, that is by the way the duke of norfolk, he is in charge of the really big events of state, including coronations, state funerals, really significant events.
