Two people have been taken to hospital after part of a stand collapsed at a Trooping the Colour event at Horse Guards Parade in central London. A section of one stand is reported to have given way just before 11:00 BST. London Ambulance Service (LAS) said two patients were taken to a major trauma unit as a priority. The area has been evacuated by the Army and police so safety checks can be made. Eyewitnesses have described seeing a woman fall through the stand, although LAS could not confirm this nor the severity of the injuries that were sustained. (BBC)
