The fire was in a corridor between the State apartments and the Ballroom - so right by where the Queen actually lives.

It appears to be out now. No one injured.

The pop concert in the Palace grounds will go ahead tomorrow night.

For pictures and the story of the fire

So far the extent of the damage is unknown, smoke and water damage could be extensive.
