I've spent this morning at the Zoology Museum in Cambridge, watching the reconstruction of a 70ft (21m) finback whale.

I'm pleased to say the last rib bone has just been put back in place - phew, no pieces missing from this giant jigsaw.

The whale skeleton has been in storage for the past three years as the city's Museum of Zoology was refurbished.

It's now taking pride of place in it's new home in a purpose built glass entrance hall. We'll have more pictures from the installation a bit later.

Not too much to complain about by the looks of today's weather forecast. 

It will remain dry with sunny periods. Feeling warm, although cloud will tend to increase a little more as the afternoon goes on. It will turn breezy by the end of the day. Highs of 22C (72F).

Here's a snap of sunny Barrington taken a short while ago by BBC Weather Watcher 'MaggieMay'.

Twenty years ago today three-time Champion Jockey Frankie Dettori, who lives in Newmarket, left the betting industry in a state of near meltdown.

He completed the Magnificent Seven - becoming the first jockey to win all seven races on his card at Ascot. 

The bookies combined odds on Dettori completing the feat amounted to 25,095/1 (at starting prices), or nearly 236,000-1 for anyone taking advantage of the morning odds on offer.

To put it in to context, the odds on Leicester City winning the Premier League last season was a mere 5000/1.

Relive the final moments of all seven races below.

Peterborough United made it four draws in five games yesterday evening as they failed to find a winner away from home.

Posh started brightly, breaking the deadlock in the 32nd minute when Marcus Maddison's free-kick from the right was headed home by Gwion Edwards from close range.

But Shrewsbury's equaliser in the 56th minute saw both sides share the points.

Despite the draw, boss Grant McCann said it was a "great away performance".

I've spent the morning in a park in Cambridge, where stickers saying "refugees not welcome" have been posted up. 

As first reported by the Cambridge News, external, they've appeared in Romsey and residents in the area have branded them "a disgrace" and "unpleasant".

Donald Adey, who is a Cambridge City Councillor living close to the park, has called the stickers "disgusting and vile".

Speaking to BBC Radio Cambridgeshire, Mr Adey said: "The whole things appalls me. We should be welcoming these people. 

"Cambridge has got families from Syria at the moment. This city is doing its bit."

Just last month, figures showed the number of hate crimes being reported to Cambridgeshire Police almost doubled from 45 in June 2015, to 102 this June.

It was one of the highest rises among the country's forces.
