Good morning and welcome to the live page for the three counties, where we'll bring you the latest news, sport, weather and travel until 18:00.

Today, 1 July, is the 100th anniversary of the start of the Battle of the Somme. Commemoration events are taking place across the UK and in Europe, and we'll take a look at what's happening locally.

Also, following the death of an elderly woman hit by a delivery lorry near a St Albans Tesco, we're looking at how residents said they warned the store of the dangers numerous times.

Remember, if you'd like to get in touch, you can email us or send us a tweet, external.
