People who had been married a few weeks and had children they never | :00:38. | :00:55. | |
saw. We had families where lany brothers were killed. It had a deep | :00:56. | :00:56. | |
effect. Judy Marsh came here today to find | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
out about Private Gilbert C`rter, who lived in her house a century | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
ago and killed in action in 191 . He walked through our rooms and | :01:04. | :01:17. | |
could see the views. He was reported missing. His parents presum`bly | :01:18. | :01:20. | |

a time to reflect but also to consider the impact of war today. | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
War has changed in its nature and if we do not learn the lessons from war | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
and seek peace, these things will keep happening. Commemoration is | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
about thinking why humanity causes such wars. Tomorrow night the | :02:00. | :02:07. | |

during the closing weekend, including Danny Talbot | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
from Hilperton near Trowbridge. He was the lucky athlete who got to | :03:05. | :03:06. | |
race head to head with the lighty Their pre`race preparation | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
techniques were rather diffdrent. England held their own | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
against Jamaica from gun to tape. But, in the end, another stdllar | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
Bolt performance left a credible There was a split second whdre I | :03:17. | :03:32. | |
thought I could run past hil. But he ran away from me and there was | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
another split`2nd when I thought I was watching the best athlete of all | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
time, but I had to quickly remember I have three guys I could not let | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
down and I managed to get over the line in second place. | :03:45. | :03:48. | |

Now the weather. Holly Green has the late forecast. | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
Good evening, the bright and breezy conditions of today are givhng way | :03:59. | :04:06. | |
to a fairly quiet night. Thd breeze will drop and we might see one or | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
two showers, but generally, clear spells. For most of us, a bright | :04:10. | :04:19. | |
start tomorrow. We have the risk of a scattering of showers. Sunny | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
spells coming through away from the showers and temperatures into the | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
late 20s. Less breezy than today, as well. Then we have an unsettled | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
theme. Some bright conditions in the middle of the week, but the risk of | :04:35. | :04:36. | |
heavy and thundery showers. Finally, we've seen how | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
the West is already marking the start of World War One. | :04:42. | :04:44. | |

who came to the West to esc`pe it. Lots more fascinating storids | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
along the way too, we hope xou'll find it all as moving as we have. | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
Good evening. Many of us had a decent second part of the weekend, | :04:58. | :05:15. | |
particularly so for England and Wales, rather different from | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
Scotland and Northern Ireland. We saw our whole rash of showers across | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
Scotland and Northern Ireland, some thunder and lightning swirling | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
around. There was a huge curl of cloud, indicative of an area of low | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
pressure. That will work its way northwards, taking its the wind and | :05:37. | :05:45. | |
rain with it. For England and Wales, may be a shower around the coast but | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
rural spots make it a bit on the chilly side. Through the day | :05:52. | :05:58. | |
tomorrow, fine in dry weather on offer, some good spells of | :05:59. | :05:59. |
