Still trying to come to terms with macro work.

Common Carder Bee is my guess, the hairs above the wings are often darker but I have seen pics of paler examples. I'm not a great bee expert, but this is quite common and is likely contender.

I gather that we have over 250 species in this country so I wouldn't be surprised to be corrected!
 
Iveljay many thanks for feedback also identifying Bee.Have Googled it from your identification and looks to as though you have nailed it.
