also expressed in a letter from the Queen read out during proceedings.

skies for the south-east, and here we will see temperatures dipped to

at times, but showery as the day progresses. Further to the south, we

:04:33.:04:38.

will see some hazy sunshine with high cloud around. Temperatures

:04:39.:04:43.
