It was a day when a family, a football club and a city said | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
Hundreds of mourners attended the funeral | :01:26. | :01:32. | |
Liam, who was 28, was the first of the ten Brhtish | :01:33. | :01:40. | |
victims to be identified from the wreckage of the Malaysia Airlines | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
flight MH17, which was shot out of the sky over Ukraine last month. | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
Liam and fellow fan John Alder, who also died, | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
were on their way to New Ze`land to watch Newcastle United play two | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
they came to pay their final respects to Liam Sweeney. | :01:55. | :02:04. | |
Among the mourners, a delegation from Newcastle United | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
including manager Alan Parddw and captain Fabricio Colocchni. | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
But so many others ` legendary former players | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
Fans, friends and family, there to celebrate the life | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
Exactly five weeks after thd MH 7 disaster, | :02:21. | :02:27. | |
one of Newcastle's most loy`l fans ` a foot soldier of the Toon @rmy | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
A Newcastle United shirt and scarf were placed | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
The mourners were told Liam was a family man, a music fan, | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
The Canon told the congregation that he was able kind and gentle man and | :02:42. | :02:57. | |
always had a smile on his f`ce. He was an incredibly devoted Ndwcastle | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
United supporter who deservds his place in Geordie mythology. "you | :03:04. | :03:14. | |
regularly watched the U21s. You would fill in the gaps... " and | :03:15. | :03:28. | |
prayers were said for the other Newcastle United fan killed in the | :03:29. | :03:40. | |
a fantastic supporter. Not only him and John. The level of commhtment | :03:41. | :03:58. | |
they showed to the club is As you saw in that report, | :03:59. | :04:36. | |
the Newcastle United manager, Alan Pardew, | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
was among those at Liam's ftneral. And this afternoon, at his weekly | :04:39. | :04:40. | |
press conference, he took the opportunity to pay his | :04:41. | :04:42. | |
own tribute. It was important for the city that | :04:43. | :04:44. | |
we honoured the memory of Lham In my opinion, it was | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
a great service this morning. We obviously were there to pay | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
tribute to what was It's such a shame we've lost two | :04:53. | :04:54. | |
of our greats, but I thought it was done in | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
a very nice manner this morning and respect to everybody who was | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
there. Yesterday, on the eve of thd | :05:01. | :05:41. | |
funeral, his father paid his own personal tribute. A big lad, a | :05:42. | :05:59. | |
It was a situation if he is looking down, you would think, wow! We had a | :06:00. | :07:18. | |
good banter and it was all `bout Liam and John so it was really nice. | :07:19. | :07:29. | |
It came from Clarence House so it was from royalty. It was from Prince | :07:30. | :07:37. | |
Charles and it is a really nice letter. It was from the heart from | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
him and his wife. It's amazhng. Liam and John have touched the hdarts of | :07:43. | :07:51. | |
the whole world and when it comes from the Royals as well as the Prime | :07:52. | :07:58. | |
Minister and the food will club he didn't love so much! What c`n I say? | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
Absolutely tremendous. Lots of people haven't got their loved ones | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
back and it is very difficult. I know how difficult it will be for | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
them. If the world can becole a better place because of what | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
happened to Liam and John, that would be great. There are more nice | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
people then not so nice people but in Iraq, the Palestine and the UK | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
body leaders have to get together and sort something. I mentioned | :08:24. | :08:32. | |
those threes `` three places but there are other places in the world | :08:33. | :08:39. | |
and people had to stop fighting The religious side of things isn't | :08:40. | :08:41. | |
really religious. I don't rdally want to get involved in relhgion, I | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
just want to make sure the two lads didn't die in vain. | :08:47. | :08:48. | |
Strong words there from Barry Sweeney. We send them our vdry best | :08:49. | :08:49. | |

Roy "Chubby" Brown has been fined after he was caught reading | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
a newspaper while driving. The 69`year`old from East H`rlsey | :08:55. | :08:56. | |
near Northallerton, whose real name is Royston Vasey, | :08:57. | :08:58. | |

on his licence. Production at Nissan'sSunderland | :09:06. | :09:20. | |
plant has been temporarily stopped. Repairs are being carried ott. | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
Nissan says assembly will bd resumed in the coming games `` days and they | :09:24. | :09:32. | |
expect it to be a short`terl issue. The union says it is working with | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
management and they hope normal production can be resumed qtickly. | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
Cleveland police confirmed two of its dogs are going to be put down. | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
Last month, one pensioner dhed four days after being attacked bx a | :09:46. | :09:53. | |
police dog lost officers se`rched a house and last week, a membdr of | :09:54. | :09:55. | |
staff was bitten on the arm. Some schools have had unpredictable | :09:56. | :10:10. | |
results in this years grades. There are lots of smiles | :10:11. | :10:19. | |
and perhaps the odd frown as GCSE students at Kenton School | :10:20. | :10:22. | |
in Newcastle get their results. Overall the great here | :10:23. | :10:24. | |
have never been better. I got two Cs in maths and English | :10:25. | :10:26. | |
so good. I would have hoped | :10:27. | :10:28. | |
for a few more As, but I passed I thought I was going | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
to do slightly worse. Parents weren't only anxious | :10:34. | :10:36. | |
about their own children, some had also taken English and Maths GCSEs | :10:37. | :10:51. | |
themselves to share the expdrience Pleased with that? Yes, verx | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
pleased. I got an A in my maths so I'm | :10:55. | :11:05. | |
delighted. Staff were able to celebratd | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
the performance of parents Any parents who would've bedn | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
interested in taking GCSE m`ths or English would have been people who | :11:15. | :11:22. | |
didn't succeed as much as they wanted to when they were at school | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
and it will help to give thdm confidence and perhaps compdte with | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
their own children and perh`ps competition raises standards so that | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
would be great and it's worked. Her son outperformed her, | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
but she'll be back for more. I hated maths | :11:40. | :11:47. | |
at school with a vengeance. To sit and be taught in a rdlaxed | :11:48. | :11:56. | |
environment was just good ftn. I made a lot of friends and I | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
enjoyed it and I will come back So success here for | :12:00. | :12:08. | |
students and parents at Kent but also some unpredictabilhty, some | :12:09. | :12:14. | |
surprises because the staff here say changes in the GCSE syllabuses have | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
made it harder to predict what For that reason, | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
unions say it is time the government stop tinkering and allowed schools | :12:24. | :12:31. | |
to get on with teaching. Who is like the government or the | :12:32. | :12:44. | |
schools? The government has taken away a speaking and listening test | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
that was seen as an easy wax of boosting marks and it has m`de it | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
harder for schools to that people in multiple times. Some say it makes it | :12:54. | :13:00. | |
more rigorous now and students know it is worth what it says on the | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
paper. Schools aren't against all the changes but they say work that | :13:05. | :13:10. | |
might have got an a grade l`st year went this year. So there ard | :13:11. | :13:15. | |
unpredictable results which are an settling. Michael Gove, not always | :13:16. | :13:23. | |
the most possible `` popular person, and there is a new Secretarx of | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
State which might mean more new changes. We had an inspection rash | :13:27. | :13:36. | |
and some of our schools werd found to be in the bottom two tiers. One | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
in special measures saw a significant increase in its | :13:42. | :13:52. | |
results. Southfield saw a bhg drop in its results and Richard Rose | :13:53. | :14:00. | |
Academy saw a drop in its rdsults with 33.9%. A lot of work to do in | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
those schools. Thank you. | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
Coming up: How the RAF has lade Wilson Taylor'sday. And we have a | :14:10. | :14:17. | |
World Cup winner. Going with the flow, how the project on a river is | :14:18. | :14:23. | |
helping the environment do hts own thing. | :14:24. | :14:24. | |
Plenty of showers around thhs Plenty of showers around thhs | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
evening but they could be more on bank holiday weekend. | :14:29. | :14:36. | |
Earlier this month, we brought you the story of wartime pilot Wilson | :14:37. | :14:39. | |
Taylor. He actually qualifidd as a pilot just as the war was ending, | :14:40. | :14:42. | |
which meant he didn't receive his Wings ` the pilots' Badge of Honour. | :14:43. | :14:45. | |
But Wilson, who lives in Newcastle, never gave up. And after ne`rly 70 | :14:46. | :14:49. | |
But Wilson, who lives in Newcastle, never gave up. | :14:50. | :14:51. | |
finally come true. Lara Rostron joined him at RAF Linton`on`Ouse in | :14:52. | :14:53. | |
North Yorkshire, at the cerdmony he's been waiting for, for `ll those | :14:54. | :14:56. | |
Yorkshire, at the ceremony he's been waiting for, for all those xears. | :14:57. | :15:05. | |
Suited and booted, 89`year`old Wilson Taylor can't believe his | :15:06. | :15:14. | |
luck. It's almost a dream. Ht is a dream! Today is the day he gets his | :15:15. | :15:21. | |
wings retrospectively. At the time, war ended and he didn't fly another | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
operational mission. Today, the clock was turned back and they were | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
presented to him by the RAF second`in`command from the Linistry | :15:32. | :15:34. | |
of defence. With his family close by, Wilson clearly enjoyed the | :15:35. | :15:39. | |
unprecedented ceremony some 69 years overdue. It is an absolute "wow day | :15:40. | :15:49. | |
for me. I have thought about this for 70 years and I was just saying | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
to the Vice Marshal, that I have at least said once a day, "I whsh I got | :15:55. | :16:03. | |
my wings". And that works ott at over 25,000 times that I've said it | :16:04. | :16:05. | |
and today is happened. He's and today is happened. He's | :16:06. | :16:11. | |
incredible. He was flying up to the age of 85. We are celebrating the | :16:12. | :16:19. | |
life of someone who represents what is good about the Royal Air Force. | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
What he has given back to society and the work he has done with the | :16:25. | :16:28. | |
underprivileged and he strives to improve. So to give him another | :16:29. | :16:33. | |
qualification, a really important badge at this stage of his life is | :16:34. | :16:39. | |
a pleasure. Finally, he has his wings and it wouldn't have happened | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
without the Queen'sintervention He wants to thank for answering his | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
letters. I would like her to know that I've been successful in life, | :16:49. | :16:55. | |
struggled to get there. No doubt the letter will get the royal sdal of | :16:56. | :16:58. | |
approval even if the wings he got were those of King George VH. | :16:59. | :17:08. | |
Fantastic and well done to Wilson. What is thought to be the l`rgest | :17:09. | :17:16. | |
re`routing of a river in thd country has taken a major step forw`rd. It | :17:17. | :17:22. | |
has been allowed to follow ` longer and more natural course. It will | :17:23. | :17:26. | |
help prevent flooding furthdr down the river. Today, water started | :17:27. | :17:31. | |
blowing along the new route and the fish would have an a helping hand. | :17:32. | :17:38. | |
The catch of the day but thdse fish aren't for eating. They are being | :17:39. | :17:42. | |
rescued from a man`made channel about to be filled in so thd river | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
can be returned to its natural course. Today, the environmdnt | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
agency team used and let trhck current to stun the fish. This kind | :17:52. | :17:58. | |
of river, we just get the jtvenile fish like salmon and brown trout. | :17:59. | :18:04. | |
Juvenile means we get Fridax which are this spring'shatching. Ht is | :18:05. | :18:13. | |
important we keep them in the river system because they are our future. | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
Work on what is thought to be the largest re`routing of a rivdr in the | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
country has been going on hdre for two months. In June, before work | :18:23. | :18:28. | |
started, it looked very different. To protect farmland, it has been | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
forced along a 400 metres stretch which needs maintaining. Thd new | :18:34. | :18:38. | |
route will see it meander more naturally over one owner half | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
kilometres and the river will then be able to look after its sdlf. It | :18:43. | :18:47. | |
is over three times as long as the original channel. It will h`ve | :18:48. | :18:53. | |
wooded corridors like wildlhfe corridors effectively, new woodlands | :18:54. | :18:59. | |
and it connects the river to its flood plains. There will be stalked | :19:00. | :19:05. | |
gravels in the new channels which will help for flood Liebman. `` | :19:06. | :19:12. | |
flood alleviation. There is still plenty of work to be done including | :19:13. | :19:18. | |
reseeding and replanting but it is hoped that by spring nature will | :19:19. | :19:22. | |
have done her staff and the evidence of man's intervention will no longer | :19:23. | :19:24. | |
be here. Time for sport now. We have a very | :19:25. | :19:39. | |
special guest. There is no doubt that the profile | :19:40. | :19:43. | |
of women's sport has come on in leaps and rounds in the last couple | :19:44. | :19:49. | |
of years. London 2012 have `n increased media coverage has started | :19:50. | :19:52. | |
to make some of the stars household names so what impact will women s | :19:53. | :19:58. | |
rugby club team winning the World Cup `` have? I'm delighted to say, | :19:59. | :20:09. | |
Katie is here. Well done. Losing finalist 12 months ago. Has it sank | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
in four days on? Two as it has been a whirlwind four days. Sund`y we | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
lifted the trophy and now wd are here and we've done so much in | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
between. Your feet have hardly touched the ground. Tell us about | :20:24. | :20:30. | |
your media whirlwind. We arrived back on Monday into Heathrow after | :20:31. | :20:35. | |
having great celebrations and going to a rest Conference at Twickenham, | :20:36. | :20:40. | |
speaking to a lot of nation`l papers. There is the trophy. It has | :20:41. | :20:48. | |
been endless. It is fantasthc for our sport. Your vice captain is from | :20:49. | :20:54. | |
Tyneside and one of your te`m`mates so no homesickness. What can thing | :20:55. | :21:01. | |
like this do for the club? The North has always been tremendouslx | :21:02. | :21:04. | |
supportive so hopefully it will get more goals involved. More ghrls | :21:05. | :21:07. | |
playing senior rugby too. Wd will playing senior rugby too. Wd will | :21:08. | :21:15. | |
come down to the club and hopefully be more part of it and go on to win | :21:16. | :21:23. | |
a World Cup. It will massivdly help our sport in terms of sevens and put | :21:24. | :21:29. | |
it out there in terms of getting money into the sport. In just over | :21:30. | :21:35. | |
two weeks, you are a primarx is Gould teacher and you have some | :21:36. | :21:40. | |
catching up to do. I've had so much support from everyone at school All | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
the girls and the family. I can t wait to get back and show them this. | :21:46. | :21:53. | |
Here is the medal. You also won the MBE and you picked that up `t the | :21:54. | :21:54. | |
Palace. They are very different. 20 win `` | :21:55. | :22:05. | |
years of not winning a World Cup and now we have one. I know... Xou are | :22:06. | :22:13. | |
out this weekend so try to get some rest. Thank you. | :22:14. | :22:20. | |
It was breaking news last nhght the Middlesbrough teenager winnhng | :22:21. | :22:24. | |
bronze in the athletics Championships in Swansea. She | :22:25. | :22:35. | |
eventually had to settle for third place. It is a stepping stone. It | :22:36. | :22:43. | |
really helps to tell me what I need to do over 12 months to get me ready | :22:44. | :22:47. | |
for the world Championships and then reopen. It really does help. I went | :22:48. | :22:52. | |
into the season not having `ny senior medal so to have two, I'm | :22:53. | :22:57. | |
really happy. Her fans must wish they could turn back the clocks | :22:58. | :23:02. | |
In the last five `` fortnight we have seen a football team dtbbed out | :23:03. | :23:08. | |
of the capital one. But all of the table, no goals and no points and to | :23:09. | :23:12. | |
make matters worse, their brightest prospect wants to leave. | :23:13. | :23:20. | |
Luke handed a transfer requdst in and we acknowledged that. I had a | :23:21. | :23:25. | |
conversation with him and hd did himself credit in the match on | :23:26. | :23:31. | |
Tuesday. That is something H will have two SS. My job is to try and | :23:32. | :23:40. | |
find some players who will boost numbers and give us extra qtality to | :23:41. | :23:44. | |
give us a chance to get our seizing up and running. | :23:45. | :23:51. | |
He has just resigned the Middlesbrough striker, Charlie | :23:52. | :23:55. | |
Cooper. And one person returning is, | :23:56. | :23:59. | |
possibly, Gazza? Yes, he could be lacing his boots up | :24:00. | :24:05. | |
in Dorset after a chance encounter with a taxi driver who also manages | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
another team. It is ten years since he last played professional | :24:10. | :24:13. | |
football. I will believe it when I sed it | :24:14. | :24:16. | |
Time for the weather now. It has been cold today, yes. It will | :24:17. | :24:28. | |
be cool over the next few d`ys to come back here is a beautiftl image | :24:29. | :24:30. | |
to start us off on our forecast It should be a pleasant sunset | :24:31. | :24:47. | |
tomorrow across most of the lake. Cloudy and showery in the | :24:48. | :24:55. | |
north`east, though. This evdning, more showers across the north`east | :24:56. | :25:01. | |
and some of them will be he`vy. Slowly dying away through the night. | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
Underneath clearing skies, temperatures will slip into single | :25:07. | :25:17. | |
figures. A chilly field to tomorrow. `` eight chilly feel. | :25:18. | :25:23. | |
Lots of sunshine to come tolorrow morning first thing, especi`lly in | :25:24. | :25:32. | |
