Good evening. The Queen visits York to hand out Royal Maundy money. | :00:13. | :00:20. | |
Thousands line the streets to catch a glimpse of the monarch. Is it the | :00:20. | :00:29. | |
first time you have seen her? When will the power come back on? | :00:29. | :00:34. | |
Hundreds of homes are still without power. | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
While the District holiday town has been hit by the rising cost of fuel. | :00:38. | :00:43. | |
We preview an Easter football programme which could shake play- | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
off hopefuls. With the US Masters getting under | :00:46. | :00:51. | |
way, we are looking for the North's golf stars. | :00:51. | :00:57. | |
After a couple of weeks of extreme weather, I will bring you an Easter | :00:57. | :01:07. | |
:01:07. | :01:11. | ||
have forecast. Huge crowds lined the streets of | :01:11. | :01:20. | |
York today as the Queen visited the city. The monarch was joined by the | :01:20. | :01:25. | |
Princess Beatrice. It is a special year or the Queen. York is | :01:25. | :01:35. | |
:01:35. | :01:35. | ||
celebrating 100 years since it got the Royal Charter. | :01:35. | :01:41. | |
It has been leading with history and tradition. For many people, the | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
visit of a monarch is want to be celebrated. Thousands of people | :01:45. | :01:53. | |
were here hours before her Majesty was due to arrive. She has | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
rededicated herself to the service of her country. People who have | :01:58. | :02:07. | |
shown dedication to their communities have been the theme. | :02:07. | :02:17. | |
:02:17. | :02:18. | ||
The enterprising, the socialising, this is upon us. | :02:18. | :02:26. | |
The harmonising, they were all on the streets of York today. It is | :02:26. | :02:35. | |
fantastic. In Canada, it is the same. I saw her when I was a child. | :02:35. | :02:43. | |
She is beautiful. Is it worth coming here? Exactly yes. Is that | :02:43. | :02:53. | |
:02:53. | :02:57. | ||
the best seat in the house? Yes. Her Majesty bound to tradition and | :02:57. | :03:07. | |
:03:07. | :03:19. | ||
head into an area up. On words to the minister when the crowds were | :03:19. | :03:26. | |
four or five deep. I don't know when I'll get another chance to see | :03:26. | :03:36. | |
:03:36. | :03:38. | ||
her. For I saw the Queen. It is 40 years since she came to York to | :03:38. | :03:46. | |
hand out the Maundy money. Much has changed. The warmth of the | :03:46. | :03:54. | |
reception has not changed. Thousands lined the streets for | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
more than an hour before the royal procession arrived. Even if they | :03:59. | :04:09. | |
:04:09. | :04:12. | ||
got a fleeting glance, it has been a grand day out. But she waves? | :04:12. | :04:22. | |
:04:22. | :04:28. | ||
We said congratulations. My son gave her a card. I was so excited. | :04:28. | :04:36. | |
It was nice to see them. A little later, the worm -- there were more | :04:36. | :04:46. | |
:04:46. | :04:47. | ||
Mormons stolen by a lucky few. was a fantastic day. We are very | :04:47. | :04:54. | |
lucky. A lot of countries envy us. A Diamond Jubilee and the 800th | :04:54. | :05:04. | |
:05:04. | :05:06. | ||
anniversary of the York getting a royal charter. | :05:06. | :05:16. | |
:05:16. | :05:17. | ||
It was 800 years ago or that King John granted 0 its Royal Charter. | :05:17. | :05:27. | |
:05:27. | :05:29. | ||
Queen Elizabeth I or pinned an exhibition at the Yorkshire Museum. | :05:29. | :05:36. | |
Hundreds lined the gardens as she arrived. She opened a new | :05:36. | :05:46. | |
:05:46. | :05:48. | ||
exhibition. It sure cases the major events that have shaped York. | :05:48. | :05:56. | |
start with the Charter being granted. From there, we cover the | :05:57. | :06:06. | |
:06:07. | :06:13. | ||
people of York, how the people main disintegrates. It was Ken John he | :06:13. | :06:19. | |
granted Yorker Royal Charter in 1212. Before that, that person in | :06:19. | :06:24. | |
charge of the city which has been the sheriffs. He had sole | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
responsibility for collecting taxes. Yorke was strategically important | :06:30. | :06:39. | |
:06:40. | :06:40. | ||
then. There were disagreements between traders and sheriffs. By | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
granting a charter, King John alight the people the right to | :06:44. | :06:52. | |
collect their own taxes. The charter was a legally-binding | :06:52. | :07:02. | |
:07:02. | :07:03. | ||
charter. In exchange, the citizens made a down-payment plus an annual | :07:03. | :07:13. | |
:07:13. | :07:18. | ||
sum of �160 each year. It is just us call it financial bargain. -- | :07:18. | :07:24. | |
squalid. The significant is the -- significance is that it is the | :07:24. | :07:34. | |
:07:34. | :07:36. | ||
first crack in the feudal system. This exhibition formed the first | :07:36. | :07:44. | |
steps to democracy, helping the city flourished in the RIAS cents. | :07:44. | :07:52. | |
-- years. SN today was about history and tradition but I wonder | :07:52. | :08:00. | |
how many people will treasure today in. One child entrusted me with | :08:00. | :08:10. | |
:08:10. | :08:11. | ||
this letter, it says the Queen. It is my responsibility to for word it. | :08:11. | :08:21. | |

Sky News has admitted hacking into the e-mail accounts of John Darwin. | :08:25. | :08:33. | |
A not -- a journalist was authorised. Mr Darwin faked his own | :08:33. | :08:39. | |
death in an insurance pension fraud. The evidence was handed to the | :08:39. | :08:48. | |
police. Inquiries are ongoing into how the emails were in -- obtained. | :08:48. | :08:56. | |
48 hours on and hundreds of homes are still without power. As many as | :08:56. | :09:05. | |
80,000 people were hit by power cuts. Much of North Yorkshire is | :09:05. | :09:11. | |
still affected. Some people feel they were not given enough | :09:11. | :09:19. | |
information by electricity supply companies. Mary is 90. She has on | :09:19. | :09:28. | |
two days without power. I cannot keep warm. She learns that | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
Westerdale. Questions are being directed at the power companies. | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
we had known how long the power when be off, we could have done | :09:37. | :09:45. | |
something about it. We have not been able to get any information. | :09:45. | :09:55. | |
:09:55. | :09:58. | ||
An adviser comes on the line. What you need? I need to keep warm. This | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
is where the calls are handled. They have had 13 times more | :10:03. | :10:12. | |
inquiries than usual. These are the worst areas. Those blue Arrow's | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
represents an electricity sub- station. 1,500 people are effect in | :10:16. | :10:23. | |
the it in that area. There are always things we can do better. I | :10:23. | :10:33. | |
:10:33. | :10:34. | ||
am pleased with our response. We will look at communication. We are | :10:34. | :10:41. | |
personally looking after the 96 and vulnerable customers we have. | :10:42. | :10:51. | |
:10:52. | :10:54. | ||
County Durham, relief. This no is gone. It was difficult, but we just | :10:54. | :11:04. | |
:11:04. | :11:05. | ||
wrapped up warm. We had to get portals ready. I run a slimming | :11:05. | :11:11. | |
world class. The power went off and I had to decide whether I was going | :11:11. | :11:20. | |
to run the class. I was ready to run it by candlelight. The power | :11:20. | :11:26. | |
came on. No such luck for some in North Yorkshire. NorthernPowergrid | :11:26. | :11:36. | |

Darlington has been warned to make immediate improvements following an | :11:43. | :11:50. | |
unannounced visit by the inspectors. The Care Quality Commission found | :11:50. | :11:58. | |
it failing to ensure people wear protective against mismanagement of | :11:58. | :12:04. | |
medicines. For John Todd losing his wife was | :12:04. | :12:10. | |
hard. The former army mechanic says he is devastated after inhaling | :12:10. | :12:16. | |
asbestos from his overalls. Helene washed his clothes daily when the | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
lead in Germany. He has won a long legal battle with the Ministry of | :12:21. | :12:26. | |
Defence to get them to admit responsibility. | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
She died in 2010 from malignant mesothelioma sudden months after | :12:30. | :12:40. | |
diagnosis. Her husband brought the dust into their warm. They all use | :12:40. | :12:49. | |
does best us. Either heat shields for the exhausts or four-engined | :12:49. | :12:59. | |
:12:59. | :13:02. | ||
covers. -- Ford engine covers. She was killed in the service of the | :13:02. | :13:10. | |
country, keeping me clean. John has various interests, but the pain of | :13:10. | :13:18. | |
his wife's loss still hurts. It was nurses who suggest it be a couple | :13:18. | :13:28. | |
:13:28. | :13:34. | ||
should claim compensation. He says That the amount of compensation | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
paid is determined by common law principles which takes account of | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
an individual's pain and suffering as well as past and future | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
financial losses and a level of care required. | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
Although it was his wife who started the case, John thought that | :13:49. | :13:54. | |
was it his duty to follow through after she died. | :13:54. | :13:56. | |
The water company United Utilities has been fined �200,000 for | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
polluting a Cumbrian river. Workington magistrates heard the | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
company discharged sewage into the River Keekle from its Cleator | :14:02. | :14:07. | |
treatment works 22 times. The Environment Agency said the | :14:07. | :14:09. | |
incident could have caused significant environmental harm.The | :14:09. | :14:16. | |
firm was also ordered to pay �4,000 in costs. You're watching Look | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
North. Still to come this Thursday evening. Mark's here with the sport. | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
The holiday blues hit the tourist industry in Cumbria as traders say | :14:23. | :14:32. | |
the rising cost of fuel is keeping visitors away. | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
On a fine evening, I am out and about with all of you weather for | :14:36. | :14:41. | |
the Easter weekend. An inquest has heard how a soldier | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
from County Durham was killed when his patrol stopped, to allow the | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
Afghan police to take a prayer break. Lance Corporal Jonathan | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
Mackinlay, from Darlington, died in Helmand Province in September last | :14:50. | :14:57. | |
year, leaving a wife and three children. Damian O'Neil reports. | :14:57. | :14:59. | |
The funeral of 34-year-old Lance Corporal Jonathan James Mackinlay, | :14:59. | :15:02. | |
of 1st battalion the rifles, took place in October last year, a month | :15:02. | :15:08. | |
after he died doing the job he loved. He served in Northern | :15:09. | :15:11. | |
Ireland and Iraq before his career took him to Afghanistan, and on | :15:12. | :15:14. | |
September 14th, he was part of a 16-man patrol in Nar-e Saraj | :15:15. | :15:17. | |
district which was made up of British soldiers, Afghan policemen | :15:17. | :15:24. | |
and an interpreter. The Afghans wanted to stop for prayers, and | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
while the patrol was halted, it came under heavy and sustained fire. | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
Jonathan was killed almost immediately. The inquest today | :15:32. | :15:34. | |
heard from three witnesses, including Sgt Tom Fitzgerald, who | :15:34. | :15:40. | |
was the first to reach Jonathan after he'd been hit. He said he | :15:40. | :15:49. | |
detected no signs of life. As he described to the court, the moment | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
the patrol came under fire, his voice cracked and he had to stop | :15:53. | :15:58. | |
for several more minutes to compose himself. At this point, the | :15:58. | :16:03. | |
soldier's mother went out of her seat and went over to console him. | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
The coroner recorded that a lance- corporal was shot by insurgents | :16:06. | :16:13. | |
while on active military service in Afghanistan. | :16:13. | :16:16. | |
The Traders in a Lake District tourist hotspot say their takings | :16:16. | :16:20. | |
are down by up to 50% on last year and they're blaming the rising cost | :16:20. | :16:25. | |
of fuel. Shop owners in Keswick say the price of petrol is deterring | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
people from travelling to Cumbria from other parts of the country. | :16:29. | :16:33. | |
And those who do make the journey are spending less when they get | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
there. Alison Freeman has the story. June Houghton's shop is on a busy | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
street in Keswick. But despite a milder winter, her takings since | :16:41. | :16:47. | |
December are down 30% on last year. She says high fuel prices are | :16:47. | :16:56. | |
hitting her regulars. They are coming but not as often because it | :16:56. | :17:01. | |
is costing so much to get here but once they do get here, they cannot | :17:01. | :17:07. | |
afford to take themselves. They are cutting back like everyone else. | :17:07. | :17:11. | |
Artizan, takings are down by almost a third too and fuel prices are | :17:11. | :17:18. | |
again blamed. They love coming to the Lake District and spending time | :17:18. | :17:23. | |
here. They love coming round a little independent shops but they | :17:23. | :17:27. | |
do not have the money to spend. There has however been no huge drop | :17:27. | :17:30. | |
in accommodation bookings. But B&B owners say their guests are | :17:30. | :17:32. | |
shopping around for the best deal, often online, and spending more | :17:32. | :17:35. | |
wisely when they are here, buying alcohol to drink back at their | :17:35. | :17:45. | |
:17:45. | :17:46. | ||
rooms and not treating themselves in the shops. We are obviously | :17:46. | :17:51. | |
coming out of a recession and I do think people are watching their | :17:51. | :17:55. | |
funds very carefully and planning their trip -- trips in a considered | :17:55. | :18:01. | |
way. Weekends are getting busier and we have seen and not left in | :18:01. | :18:04. | |
visitors to attractions. I am sure this season will pick up from now | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
on in. The full car park at Honister slate mine tells a | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
different story. Despite the eight mile drive bookings for tours are | :18:11. | :18:19. | |
up on last year. But they're not complacent. I think this problem | :18:19. | :18:23. | |
has to be nipped in the bud and quickly before it does untold | :18:23. | :18:27. | |
damage to the tourism industry. We're going into a pivotal year | :18:28. | :18:30. | |
with an expectation that tourism will be down because of the | :18:30. | :18:35. | |
Olympics. If people are having to pay more at the petrol pump, it is | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
a double whammy. The quiet start to the year has been reflected across | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
tourist towns, but many businesses say sales this Easter weekend will | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
be a key indicator as to whether things are going to get better Now, | :18:45. | :18:54. | |
:18:55. | :18:59. | ||
Easter I remember last Easter the weather was scorching. | :18:59. | :19:05. | |
I cannot remember last Easter but it was nice. Are you one of those | :19:05. | :19:09. | |
people who can work out when Easter is going to be? I am not good at | :19:09. | :19:17. | |
that and use the calendar! I don't know. Stick to football | :19:17. | :19:27. | |
:19:27. | :19:30. | ||
full stop Now, Easter is often make or break time for football clubs at | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
both ends of the league table, let alone one of the busiest weekends. | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
It's often a defining period and this year European and promotion | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
play-off ambitions will be tested. Keith Akehurst looks ahead to the | :19:39. | :19:41. | |
packed holiday programme. After brushing aside Liverpool, | :19:41. | :19:43. | |
Newcastle travel to Swansea tomorrow. A team who've won many | :19:43. | :19:52. | |
friends for their attractive style of play. Swansea are playing an | :19:52. | :19:57. | |
open game. They look to stretch the pitch but they give you chances as | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
well and we have to try to take them. Newcastle are aiming for | :20:00. | :20:03. | |
their fourth consecutive win against a side that have beaten | :20:03. | :20:05. | |
Manchester City and Arsenal at home. On Easter Monday, United entertain | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
Bolton who've had three straight wins in their bid to avoid | :20:08. | :20:12. | |
relegation. Sunderland should be confident after their excellent | :20:12. | :20:17. | |
result at Man City. Unlucky to be pegged back to a draw by two late | :20:17. | :20:20. | |
goals. Now, it's free scoring Spurs at the Stadium of Light, another | :20:20. | :20:25. | |
Champions League contender. On Monday, they play Everton for the | :20:25. | :20:32. | |
fourth time this season, hoping to make amends for their F.A. Cup exit. | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
Middlesbrough have slipped out of the Championship's top six and meet | :20:35. | :20:39. | |
two play-off rivals in three days. Only five points separate fifth | :20:39. | :20:42. | |
from ninth and Boro need at least one win over the two cities of | :20:42. | :20:51. | |
Cardiff and Hull. It really could be a pivotal weekend. In League One, | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
Carlisle are on a great run of four wins and three draws that've taken | :20:55. | :21:05. | |
:21:05. | :21:07. | ||
them into a play-off place. have to keep the for going and I | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
think the way we're going, you tend to think they're not going to get | :21:10. | :21:15. | |
beat. It would be massively important to get us into the six. | :21:15. | :21:20. | |
It could be a genuine threat. Hartlepool will hope their good | :21:20. | :21:23. | |
away form continues at Colchester. Eight wins and six draws in 20 | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
games mean they have one of the best travelling records in the | :21:26. | :21:31. | |
League. In the Conference Premier, | :21:32. | :21:34. | |
strugglers Darlington still face an uphill battle for survival on and | :21:34. | :21:38. | |
off the pitch while Gateshead have their work cut out to join York | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
City in the play-off places. Their holiday programmes kick off on | :21:42. | :21:44. | |
Easter Saturday with Grimsby, Barrow and leaders Fleetwood Town | :21:44. | :21:49. | |
the visitors to our three clubs. Berwick, though, are away at Annan | :21:49. | :21:55. | |
in the Scottish Third Division. The eyes of the golfing world will | :21:55. | :21:59. | |
be trained on Augusta for the rest of this week as Tiger Woods | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
launches the next stage of his comeback at the US Masters. But | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
come the summer, the Rory Mcllroy of the future will have a chance to | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
strut their stuff here in the North East. Mark Drury reports from | :22:09. | :22:13. | |
County Durham. It may not be The Masters, but a | :22:13. | :22:16. | |
little closer to home, our region's amateur golfers are being given | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
something else to look forward to. A new tournament at Europe's | :22:20. | :22:29. | |
longest golf course, and it's here in Hurworth. Then there are the | :22:29. | :22:32. | |
masters of the competition for amateur golfers across our region. | :22:32. | :22:41. | |
They will be named the best amateur in the North of England. This is a | :22:41. | :22:46. | |
fantastic test of golf here. As it matures, it will grow to be a | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
fabulous golf course. We're looking to try and attract big golf | :22:51. | :22:56. | |
tournaments to the North East. We haven't had one for such a long | :22:56. | :23:02. | |
time. It would be nice for the North East to get something back. | :23:02. | :23:07. | |
We haven't had anything for that and it would be nice to get | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
something back in the area. Knight is Rockliffe Hall's Director | :23:10. | :23:13. | |
