Yes the second is a bumblebee mimic. It's a hoverfly called the Narcissus Fly, Merodon equestris, one of th very few hoverflies not good for gardeners as the larvae feed in Narcissus + other bulbs.
First I think is a type of soldier fly.

thank-you both I looked up Soldier Flies in Wiki and particularly liked this bit "Nine stinky organic chemicals were greatly reduced or eliminated from manure in 24 hours" |
