DRESSED pretty in pink - well coral - the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh visited Chester Zoo today as part of the Queen Jubilee tour.

Luckily the sun made an appearance as Her Majesty pulled into the gates of the zoo as crowds of people who gathered to see the royal couple - some as early as 6am - got drenched this morning.

But Chester musical director and composer, Matt Baker managed to keep the crowds entertained by getting them to sing 'Singing in the Rain' as people young and old lined the street near the zoo to catch a glimpse of the Queen.
