In pictures: Queen's Jubilee tour

Tens of thousands of people in mid and south west Wales got a rare glimpse of the Queen on Wednesday on the second day of her three-day Jubilee tour of Wales.

The Queen began the day in Powys where she attended a picnic in Dolau.

The royal party travelled by helicopter to Carmarthenshire where the Queen opened a new lock at Burry Port harbour and performed the official opening of Llanelli's Millennium Coastal Park.

The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh end the day at a free public festival provided by voluntary organisations, ethnic groups and schools at Margam Park.
