  The Queen's visits England's oldest cathedral as Diamond Jubilee tour takes her to Herefordshire (GALLERY)

  The Queen receives flowers from well wishers as she attends the Herefordshire Diamond Jubilee celebrations at King George V Playing Fields in Hereford
  Accompanied by the Duke of Edinburgh, Her Majesty watched the parade after being invited to inspect the Hereford Bull trow, which represented Herefordshire in last month's Jubilee pageant on the River Thames.
  After chatting briefly to the Queen, Mr Bettington, who turned 60 earlier this year, said: "She said 'Thank you very much' and said that it was a nice gift.
  "I have seen the Olympic Torch and the Jubilee Day and to meet the Queen is just an honour."
  The royal couple then left Hereford for a series of engagements in Worcester, where they arrived to cheers and applause after travelling to the city by helicopter.
