Today (26/6/12) the Queen of England is visiting northern Ireland where she attended a Church service in Eniskillen - scene of a 1987 Irish Republican Army (IRA) bombing. Later she is expected to meet current deputy first minister and alleged former IRA commander Martin McGuiness.
At around 11:15 (local) - just as the Royal helicopter was preparing to land a large explosion tore through a residential street in Oldham, greater Manchester on the British mainland leading to scenes that looked similar to the aftermath of the Eniskillen bombing.
So far one person has been taken to hospital with severe burns, one person is still missing and one person has been confirmed killed. The authorities are blaming the explosion on a suspected natural gas leak.
