The King is bidding the "fondest of farewells" to the nine-carriage royal train said to be Queen Elizabeth II's favourite form of transport.  

The announcement comes as part of the latest financial statement from Buckingham Palace which reveals the annual sovereign grant, which supports the duties of the Royal Family and is funded by the taxpayer, remained at £86.3m.  

In today's Sky News Daily, Gareth Barlow is joined by our royal correspondent Rhiannon Mills to dig into the figures.  
 
Plus, Gareth speaks to former Lib Dem MP and author of And What Do You Do? What The Royal Family Don't Want You To Know, Norman Baker, about why he believes the Royal Family offer a bad deal for Britain.

At their Glastonbury set on Saturday, punk-rap duo Bob Vylan's singer led chants of "death, death to the IDF".

The chants have been labelled antisemitic by the BBC and the organisation has since apologised for airing the performance – but Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp has called for the broadcaster to be prosecuted, saying they, "should not be transmitting hateful material designed to incite violence and conflict". The police have now launched a criminal investigation into the Glastonbury performance.

What should the BBC have done and will they face prosecution?

Host Sarah-Jane Mee speaks to the former head of Channel Four News and Current Affairs, Dorothy Byrne, to understand what the broadcaster should have done differently. She also speaks to legal expert Joshua Rozenberg about whether Bob Vylan's performance constitutes a hate crime and if the BBC may be prosecuted for broadcasting it.

Around 200,000 music fans have descended on Worthy Farm in Somerset for this year's Glastonbury Festival. 
  
Days before this year's event began, its owner, Michael Eavis, announced he was transferring most of his financial stake in Glastonbury to his daughter, Emily Eavis. 
  
So, who is the new owner of Glastonbury? 
  
Host Niall Paterson is joined by Sky's arts and entertainment editor Claire Gregory as they look back at the unlikely transformation of Michael Eavis, from dairy farmer to festival mastermind, and ask how Emily Eavis may shape Glastonbury's future. We also speak to artist Joe Rush, who has known Michael Eavis since 1985.

Recent years have seen the advent of weight loss drugs, including Ozempic and Wegovy. They work by suppressing users' appetites, leading to weight loss.    
 
They've been described as wonder drugs but now, new figures from the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) show they may be associated with inflammation of the pancreas, which could lead to death.  
 
Niall Paterson speaks to Sky's science correspondent, Thomas Moore, about these new findings and how cautious they should make us. We also hear from Lorna, a mother who got acute pancreatitis while she was on a weight loss drug - she believes the drugs are not worth the risks.

The government has announced it is purchasing at least 12 new F-35 stealth jets that can carry nuclear warheads. It's a move that's been described by Downing Street as the most significant strengthening of the nation's nuclear capability in a generation. 
  
So, what are these jets? And why is the UK expanding its nuclear capability? 
  
Sarah-Jane Mee speaks to Dr Thomas Withington, an award-winning analyst and expert in air defence, to understand just how big a change in defence spending this is, what the move means for the UK in NATO, and what it tells us about the shift to make the country war ready.
