BBC World Service - BBC OS, 'When I met the Queen'

We hear from three people - in the UK and the US - who met the late Queen Elizabeth II

Three people share how they managed to stand in the right place in order to catch the Queen's eye and have a conversation with her. They reflect on what the brief royal encounter meant to them.

Ukrainian officials say the army is pushing ahead with its counter-offensive in the northeast of the country, where it has recaptured swathes of territory in recent days. We speak to a local journalist who has been to some of the villages Ukraine has re-taken. We also speak to our colleague from BBC Monitoring who explains how the developments have been covered by Russian media.

We talk about the killings of two black men, both passionate about music. Chris Kaba was shot dead by police in London last week, the rapper PnB Rock was fatally shot in Los Angeles on Monday.
