Queen opens Women's Institute's centenary meeting

The Queen has opened the centenary annual meeting of the Women's Institute (WI) in London.

It is 100 years since the first branch was opened on Anglesey, to encourage women to grow and preserve food to ease the shortages of the World War One.

Today, it has 212,000 members in more than 6,500 WIs.
