The five-year-old daughter of murdered policewoman PC Sharon Beshenivsky is to present a posy to the Queen during a Royal visit to Bradford later this month.

Lydia - who turned four the day her mother was shot dead in the line of duty - will meet the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh, along with her eight-year-old brother Paul, and father Paul Beshenivsky on May 24.

Mr Beshenivsky, 44, of Hainworth, said: "It's an honour for the children to be chosen. I don't think they entirely understand what it all means. It just brings back so many memories of Sharon. She would have been so proud of them."

His 38-year-old wife was shot dead on November 18, 2005 as she arrived at the scene of a robbery at a travel agents in Morley Street.

The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh will travel to Bradford on the Royal train arriving at the Interchange station and will first visit a new £3 million Hindu temple in Leeds Road.

The Hindu Cultural Society is working hard to complete the Lakshmi Narayan Temple - the biggest of its kind in the north of England - in time for the visit.

It has been built next to the existing 1966 temple - the north's oldest Hindu shrine - which will be demolished in the second phase of development.

The society's chairman Achar Paul Dharni said: "We hope to be 99 per cent finished by May 24 and are working every day to get it ready in time. Her Majesty will officially open the prayer hall which is a great honour for us and the city as a whole."

Next the Royal party will head for Trafalgar House, the multi-million pound new headquarters of Bradford South police. The Queen will meet staff while on a tour of the state-of-the-art building and see a demonstration of police dogs, before unveiling a plaque to mark its official opening.

From there Her Majesty will visit Centenary Square where she will hear details of the city's multi-billion pound regeneration programme. It is there that Lydia Beshenivsky will present flowers to her.

Bradford company Mumtaz has created a special menu for the Queen's lunch which will be served at the University of Huddersfield.

Mumtaz director Rab Nawaz, said: "It's every chef's dream to be asked to cook for The Queen so this is an extremely special day for all of us at Mumtaz.

"Of course we've deliberated over what dishes would most like to taste, but we have a great selection of the highest quality and tasting Kashmiri food to choose from, so it wasn't difficult."

Mumtaz, of Great Horton Road, was chosen from a list of top restaurants and chefs to serve the Queen and the other guests.

After lunch the Queen will visit a media centre for start-up businesses in Huddersfield, while the Duke of Edinburgh tours an eco-housing project in Primrose Hill, Huddersfield. Then the Royal couple will watch a performance by Opera North and Huddersfield Choral Society at St George's Square in Huddersfield.
