End of twitter postAbout the Royal Maundy Servicepublished at 09:16 British Summer Time 13 April 2017
Amy Woodfield
BBC Local LiveThe main purpose of the visit is the Royal Maundy Service.
The service has been hosted in every cathedral across the country during the Queen’s reign - apart from Leicester. We are the last city to host it.
Maundy Thursday is generally the Thursday before Easter and is remembered by Christians as the day of the Last Supper.
The word "maundy" comes from the command (mandate) given by Christ at the Last Supper, that we should love one another.
Image source, Getty ImagesPart of the service involves the distribution of "Maundy money". It's given to senior citizens that have done service to their community.
The coins are made especially for the celebration and are inside red and white purses.
The number of people to receive them is reflected by the age of the monarch. As the Queen is due to turn 91 later this month, there will be 91 male and 91 female recipients today.

BBC Local LiveYou might remember last Wednesday when two youths held a 10-hour rooftop standoff in Dunkirk, Nottingham.
Well yesterday the 16 year olds, who can't be named because of their age, were detained.
The standoff in Cloister Street started at about 08:00 on Wednesday, closing the road and forcing a number of homes to be evacuated until the boys were arrested later that evening.
We captured footage of the boys throwing items, believed to be bricks and tiles, from the roof.
Chf Insp Andy Goodall, said there were no serious injuries but "the potential harm that the two boys posed was very high".
He said residents' cars and homes were left "extensively damaged".
One of the boys, who pleaded guilty to burglary, theft, affray and criminal damage as well as other offences, including driving offences, was sentenced to 28 months, police said., external
The other boy will serve 17 months after pleading guilty to handling stolen goods, affray and criminal damage.

BBC Radio DerbyThe Conservative opposition at Derby City Council has said a list of 50 pledges made by the Labour administration is just propaganda in the form of an early manifesto.
The authority wants to turn Derby into the cleanest city in England by 2021, and set up its own energy company, called Ram Energy.
However the Conservative councillor Chris Poulter says it's all party politics.
Quote MessageIt's their plan, their manifesto and they ought to acknowledge that and fund the campaign themselves and not rely on council funds to distribute their propaganda."

School and care workers criticised over girl's abuse deathpublished at 08:13 British Summer Time 13 April 2017

BBC Local LiveTeachers and social care staff did not show enough "professional curiosity" into a Notttingham girl who died after years of abuse by her aunt, a serious case review has said.
Shanay Walker, seven, died from a brain injury at a house in St Ann's in July 2014 while in Kay-Ann Morris's care.
Morris was later cleared of murder after a trial at the city's crown court but jailed for child cruelty along with Shanay's grandmother, Juanila Smikle.
Image source, Nottinghamshire PoliceThe review by Nottingham City Council's safeguarding children board found there were "tensions" at Southglade Primary School, where Shanay was a pupil, which meant that concerns that Morris was abusing her weren't passed on.
The report said it was striking the extent to which school staff noted that Shanay looked downcast when with her aunt, particularly when bruises or concerns were discussed.
Staff were unclear whether they could record or share this information, which the report said was unacceptable.
Image source, Nottinghamshire policeThe report recommended schools routinely follow up referrals to children's social care in writing and "soft information" that raises concerns about a child's wellbeing should be collected and reviewed.
The city council says steps have already been taken to address the shortcomings.
