Britain's first gay surrogate parents are getting married in Essex

this afternoon. Barrie and Tony Drewitt`Barlow have launched legal

action against the Church of England to be allowed to marry in church.

Today though, they'll tie the knot at a hotel near Chelmsford. In

football, Norwich City will hope to take a giant stride towards survival

today. They're at Swansea, who're the place below them in the Premier

League. Victory over Sunderland last week gave Norwich a seven point

cushion over the drop`zone with seven to play but they've lost their

last five league games on the road. We have not played badly aw`y but we

could play well and get a result. I could play well and get a rdsult. I

Good afternoon. The clocks go forward by one hour tonight, British

Summer Time begins. Hard to believe that this was the scene exactly one

year ago in North Wales when we were in the grip of one of the coldest

springs for many a decade. A different story this weekend, of

course, with warm air wafting up from the near continent, and under

clear skies the temperatures soaring. It is not clear everywhere,
