The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh brought Jubilee cheer to Hereford.
The Queen and her husband spent just over an hour in the city, arriving at 10am before being driven through the city centre to Hereford Cathedral and then on to the King George V playing fields.
Herefordshire's Diamond Day celebrations continued into the afternoon and thousands of people came out to take part.
You can see a full report in today's Hereford Times and we'll be publishing a bumper souvenir picture special on Thursday, July 19.

Basically if you guys live in one of the best Countries in the world it is indeed thank you to the hard work of the royal family over the past thousands of years.
You don't just make a rich country overnight.
And yes we do have to pay our taxes, so have people in any other country around the world!
If you guys don't like to live in Britain where you think you pay so much tax and have nothing in return, try to live under a dictatorship in some African or Arabic countries! You still have to pay your taxes and you won't have 1% that you have here in this country. And to be very honest most of the taxpayer money isn't spent on our monarch and the royal family but indeed on those that doesn't want to WORK and live on benifts for years, and usually are the ones which complains about it all!
And further more, the Queen's visit wasn't paid with the taxpayers money, but indeed paid by private donations, so my dear fellows do get your facts right before starting complaining about what you don't really know, don't just repeat what you hear from others but get your facts right before burping out so much nonsense!
Yes I love and respect the amazing work of our royal family, they bring so much for our country! Try to find out how much money they bring into this country and you will probably be amazed! If you don't know how, just search online, but please stop been nasty and saying nonsense without a cause.
GOD SAVE OUR BELOVED QUEEN!
