Ranvir Singh. Our top story: From Brookside Close to behind bars | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
- the actor jailed for five years for lying to police as three others | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
are convicted of murder. A jury accepts that Brian Regan was | :00:21. | :00:24. | |

boost of confidence for Olveston and the wider community. | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
We thought we were dead - a family's dramatic rescue after | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
their car plunges into a canal. And showing their passion for | :00:50. | :01:00. | |

Preston - the Easter spectacular to First tonight - he found fame as | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
Terry Sullivan in the soap opera Brookside. Now, after spiralling | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
into drug addiction the actor, Brian Regan, is behind bars for | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
almost five years for lying to police about his role in a gangland | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
killing. Regan was cleared of murder but three others were found | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
guilty after a jury heard he drove the gunman to a pub where a bouncer | :01:20. | :01:30. | |
:01:30. | :01:33. | ||
was shot dead. Andy Gill reports. Brian Reading in happier days as | :01:33. | :01:42. | |
Terry Sullivan, in Brookside he played for 14 years. But with fame, | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
came cocaine addiction. A former colleague says glamour and crime | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
often mix. Actors and gangsters, but some reason almost get off on | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
each other. There is a strange attraction, it is a mutual | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
attraction. I think the hard man gives the act of the kind of | :02:02. | :02:10. | |
security out in a public space. And the actor gives the gangster kudos. | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
Reagan started making deliveries and bagging up cocaine for his | :02:13. | :02:19. | |
supplier. Last year, this man was shot dead outside a Liverpool pub. | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
Brian Regan was charged with murder. The police say he was the getaway | :02:23. | :02:29. | |
driver. His red Ford Escort was seen near the scene and CCTV | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
tracked it across Liverpool last night. Police think this may have | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
been so the gunman could collect the weapon. Brian Regan admitted | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
driving the gunmen to the scene. But he said he had no idea what he | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
had in mind. He parked some distance away and was snorting | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
cocaine when the shooting happened. The jury believed him and clears | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
him of murder. But in police interviews, he lied about where he | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
was that night. He is now serving early five years for perverting the | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
course of justice and drugs offences. I can only assume he was | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
trying to give a legitimate reason for he and his vehicle to be in the | :03:09. | :03:16. | |
area at the material time. gunman was convicted of murder, as | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
was Simon Smart, who use a mobile phone to your the victim to the | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
scene. Brian Regan said he lied because he was scared about what | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
might happen if he talked. those years ago he was top of the | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
tree and the world was at his feet. Because of cocaine he ends up | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
behind bars. Next tonight - some much-needed | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
good news on the local economy. of the world's largest drug | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
companies is to pump hundreds of millions of pounds into a new plant | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
in Cumbria, providing hundreds of new jobs. Ranvir has more. | :03:51. | :03:52. | |
GlaxoSmithKline is the world's third largest pharmaceutical | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
company and it's had a plant in the South Lakeland market town of | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
Ulverston since 1948, contributing to the company's turnover last year | :03:58. | :04:08. | |
:04:08. | :04:11. | ||
of more than �28 billion. 240 people currently work at the site, | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
manufacturing ingredients for antibiotics. Now, after seeing off | :04:17. | :04:18. | |
competition from plants in Hertfordshire and Teeside that | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
could more than double to 500. And, depending on the speed of obtaining | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
planning consent, construction could start in 2014. Dave Guest has | :04:28. | :04:36. | |
more. The Prime Minister meets the new | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
generation of staff. McVeigh were in buoyant mood after hearing their | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
company was to spend �350 million in expanding the site. This work | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
force has been with us through thick and thin. I wanted to make | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
sure we were investing in a community who had stood by the | :04:53. | :04:59. | |
company so well. It is a massive dose -- vote of confidence. It is a | :04:59. | :05:05. | |
boost for the wider community in the Investment it brings. It means | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
South Lakes is a place small and large businesses can thrive and | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
survive. This has been a part of the landscape since 1948 and makes | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
the active ingredients for antibiotics. 30 years ago 5,000 | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
people work here. Now it is down to less than 250. The new investment | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
won't bring the numbers up to anything like the good old days, | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
but it should more than double the workforce on this site. It is part | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
of investments worth �500 million. The company said they had been | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
encouraged to invest in the UK known as -- thanks to a tax break | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
known as the pattern box. incense advises us to not only | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
discover the drugs in Britain, but make them in Britain. We will get a | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
lower tax rate if we do more work in Britain. That concession was | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
confirmed in yesterday's budget. The company are complimentary about | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
the pattern box scheme, was its Aqua incidents they announce their | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
investment today or was there some Prime Ministerial pressure on them | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
to do that? I hope it is no coincidence because we have | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
aggressively cut corporation tax, made Britain a more business- | :06:18. | :06:24. | |
friendly country. Whatever the reasons for than Investment, the | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
people of all this and are happy to see more money and jobs coming to | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
the town. If we have more funds coming into the town, it is | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
brilliant. Great for the town, great for the people in the town. | :06:36. | :06:42. | |
Planning permission permitting, work should start in 2014. | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
And Dave joins us live now from outside the plant. Dave, some good | :06:45. | :06:54. | |
news on the jobs front finally? Work should start on the building | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
in 2014 and another six years after that it is up and running. But | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
other jobs will probably come to the area. What are you doing as an | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
authority to make this happen as quickly as possible? It is clear | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
the economy is one of the corporate priorities of South Lakeland | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
council. As the planning authority we will make sure we will make this | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
opportunity into a reality. So you won't stand in the way of them | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
getting permission to build it? Certainly not, we will continue to | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
work hard with them to make what is an absolutely incredible investment | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
in the area come to life. Good news for the people who work at the | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
factory, what about the wider impact on South Lakeland, briefly? | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
It is clear to see over the coming years there will be a great deal of | :07:43. | :07:48. | |
confidence, not just in this area, but within South Lakeland. This is | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
an area people can come to an find high-value, good jobs and that is | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
what we want to see. Thanks very much. The chief executive of South | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
Lakeland District Council. For once we are outside a factory with some | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
good news. The FIFA president, Sepp Blatter, | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
has hailed Fabrice Muamba's recovery from a cardiac arrest as | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
"a miracle". The Bolton midfielder's heart stopped beating | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
by itself for two hours after he collapsed during Saturday's game | :08:15. | :08:25. | |
:08:25. | :08:27. | ||
against Tottenham. Bolton play their first match since the | :08:27. | :08:34. | |
incident against Blackburn this weekend. | :08:34. | :08:39. | |
Chris McManus, from Oldham and an Italian colleague were murdered | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
during an attempted rescue after being held captive by Islamist | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
militants. The Foreign Secretary William Hague has been meeting his | :08:47. | :08:56. | |
counterpart in Rome. Work started today on a temporary | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
cruise liner terminal which will allow journeys to start and end in | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
Liverpool. The baggage and customs building at Princes Dock will | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
provide full turnaround facilities until 2015, with the first liner | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
expected at the end of May. A government decision on a permanent | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
facility is expected by Easter. And a former favourite on this | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
programme, Stuart Hall, has received an OBE for his career in | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
broadcasting, which stretches back 50 years. Stuart's also worked for | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
ITV and says he has no plans to retire, comparing his physique to | :09:19. | :09:29. | |
:09:29. | :09:30. | ||
that of a Ferrari engine. Understated as always! | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
A man who saved the lives of his passengers after driving his car | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
into a canal has been describing the moment he thought he would | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
drown. Nic Seddon, repeatedly dived into the Bridgewater Canal near | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
Altrincham to rescue his parents and teenage nephew. The fire | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
brigade arrived just in time to get Nic's mum to safety. But the family | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
say police officers bound by health and safety rules, simply watched | :09:49. | :09:55. | |
the family struggle. Stuart Flinders reports. | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
Two days after the event, Nic Seddon relived the trauma today. | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
This narrow stretch of road in Timperley is where he drove his car | :10:03. | :10:11. | |
into the canal. His parents and teenage nephew were inside. When we | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
tried the doors, that was not happening. At that point, I decided | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
the only way out of it is me smashing my way out. | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
Nic smashed his way out with a steering wheel lock then used bear | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
feet to kick in the window where his dad was sitting. By then, he | :10:26. | :10:32. | |
was exhausted and thought he would drown. I said to my dad, wait. I | :10:32. | :10:39. | |
swam back to him but I had ran out of steam. It was like a two run | :10:39. | :10:44. | |
with your swim in cold water. I look at his face and I thought I am | :10:44. | :10:50. | |
going down. He grabbed me and held on to meet. I held on to the car | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
and got my second breath back. did get his father and nephew to | :10:54. | :11:00. | |
safety. Then there was his mother. She said, please get me out. I said | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
he will be all right. As Nic struggled to rescue his | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
family, he says police officers looked on from the canal bank | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
waiting for the fire service to arrive. We were losing our temper | :11:09. | :11:14. | |
saying help us. Why were they just watching? My dad thinks it is a | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
health and safety. Greater Manchester Police say the | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
fire service are officers specially trained in carrying out rescues in | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
water. Police officers assisted the people who got out of the vehicle. | :11:23. | :11:29. | |
A fireman finally rescued Nic's mother. I am not the hero, I save | :11:29. | :11:37. | |
people who I love. That is what you do. A fire fighter does in an saved | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
a completes -- stranger. Still to come on North West | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
Tonight: Taking it to the wire - the late comeback that keeps City | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
in touch with United. And the volunteers coming out in | :11:48. | :11:58. | |
:11:58. | :11:58. | ||
colour for the Preston passion. might be my last Preston Guild Hall, | :11:59. | :12:04. | |
it is my 4th and next time I think I will be too old to join him. | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
It was a brutal armed robbery that left a Manchester art dealer and | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
his family traumatised. In 2007 Lowry expert, Ivan Aird, was tied | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
up in his own home as robbers made off with more than �1.5 million | :12:15. | :12:21. | |
worth of paintings. Well four years later they turned up as part of a | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
surveillance operation in Liverpool, and today two men from Bootle were | :12:24. | :12:26. | |
collectively sentenced to ten years in prison for their part in | :12:26. | :12:36. | |
:12:36. | :12:37. | ||
handling the paintings. Ivan Aird had grown up with Ellesse | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
Larry coming round for tea and teaching him how to paint. He loved | :12:41. | :12:47. | |
his that's friend and work hard to build up a collection of his work. | :12:47. | :12:53. | |
In 2007 it led to a terrifying ordeal. I kept thinking about my | :12:53. | :13:02. | |
daughter, the No 1 priority and my wife. I kept shouting, and they | :13:02. | :13:07. | |
were threatening saying they would kill my daughter if I moved. More | :13:07. | :13:12. | |
than �1.5 million worth of paintings were taken. Four years | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
later they turn up in Liverpool and two day two men were sentenced for | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
their part in handling the paintings. Kevin Marlowe from | :13:20. | :13:26. | |
Bootle, also on drugs charges transport of the paintings and | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
received 6.5 years. He collected them from Jered Starkey, also from | :13:30. | :13:35. | |
Bootle. He had been storing them in his container and receive just over | :13:35. | :13:40. | |
three years. The judge told the men I accept you did not know the | :13:40. | :13:45. | |
violence circumstances in which the paintings were taken. But if you | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
were organisers who facilitated viewers. I believe you knew they | :13:49. | :13:54. | |
were original Lowry's and you knew they were very valuable. Happier, | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
content. Just glad it is over and done with. And you are reunited | :13:59. | :14:08. | |
with the paintings? Yes. They are in The Lowry centre now. There has | :14:08. | :14:13. | |
only been one convictions for the gang who committed the robbery. The | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
story of the stolen paintings, how they got to Liverpool and where | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
they could have ended up remains an incomplete picture. | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
Now, we've already had some good news on the local jobs front | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
tonight and all this year North West Tonight is going to be | :14:26. | :14:29. | |
tracking the economy - the good times and the bad through one town | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
- Crewe in Cheshire. We've chosen it because it's a town like many | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
others in the region. Over the next 12 months we'll follow the | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
unemployed as they try to find work, speak to families feeling the | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
squeeze and keep a close eye on businesses there doing what they | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
can to survive and grow. Laura Yates is at a factory in Crewe to | :14:46. | :14:55. | |
tell us more. Good evening. This is what's made | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
here - the ice cream van. And it's actually the UK's biggest | :14:58. | :15:03. | |
manufacturer. Been doing business here in Crewe since 1962, so 50 | :15:03. | :15:06. | |
years. And they tell me that right now things are thriving at the | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
moment. More on that later but first let's have a look at some of | :15:10. | :15:14. | |
Crewe's vital statistics shall we. Population - 50,520. The average | :15:14. | :15:19. | |
income in Crewe - a very healthy �32,600 pounds. And the average | :15:19. | :15:25. | |
house price is �132,873. But don't go thinking this is super wealthy | :15:25. | :15:31. | |
area - it has its share of deprivation and low income too. The | :15:31. | :15:33. | |
unemployment rate last year was 7.3% That's higher than the North | :15:33. | :15:40. | |
West average. Two years ago Crewe had the highest average debts | :15:40. | :15:48. | |
outside London �23,553. So here we are and we've gathered together a | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
group of people who live and work here - who are going to help us | :15:52. | :15:58. | |
track the economy over the next year. So let me introduce you to | :15:58. | :16:08. | |
:16:08. | :16:08. | ||
them. Out of work and out of luck. Chloe | :16:08. | :16:13. | |
is 16, Joe is 18 and Laura is 16 and they have been rejected for a | :16:13. | :16:20. | |
job at a job. I have looked for about a year. Every time I send a | :16:20. | :16:26. | |
CV out, I don't get a response. Having a job keeps the day-to-day | :16:26. | :16:32. | |
routine out alive and gets you something to get up for. There | :16:32. | :16:42. | |
:16:42. | :16:44. | ||
isn't anything to replace it with. Do you want that one there. Wayne | :16:44. | :16:49. | |
and Toby are struggling. Not enough money coming in and too much going | :16:49. | :16:54. | |
out. Saving is impossible and making ends meet hard. We are a | :16:54. | :16:59. | |
family with just myself working. Fuel prices and food prices have | :16:59. | :17:09. | |
:17:09. | :17:09. | ||
gone up. It is incredibly difficult. While Phil is a brave man, he is | :17:09. | :17:14. | |
taking the plunge and taking a risk, starting a business in tricky times. | :17:14. | :17:24. | |
:17:24. | :17:26. | ||
Are you mad? Probably, yes. Mad or brave. No, mad. And Sarah and Wendy | :17:26. | :17:31. | |
are at the helm of the family business. It started small in a | :17:31. | :17:36. | |
farmhouse kitchen. But it is now booming in a purpose-built factory, | :17:36. | :17:42. | |
but can they take it global? We are talking to the US, China. We had | :17:42. | :17:47. | |
just got a new wholesaler in New Zealand and an importer in Canada. | :17:47. | :17:52. | |
This is our panel, they will be tracking the economy for us this | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
year. We will learn more about each of the next week and see how they | :17:56. | :17:59. | |
get on in the months and weeks to come. | :17:59. | :18:04. | |
Let me also introduce you to the manager of this factory. They say | :18:04. | :18:10. | |
things are going well into Times, or why is that? We produce a very | :18:10. | :18:14. | |
special product and it encourages a lot of businesses to come to | :18:14. | :18:19. | |
ourselves. Prices going up, it has affected do but you are keen not to | :18:19. | :18:23. | |
push that on to your customers? Prices are going up everywhere and | :18:23. | :18:29. | |
it is important we absorb as much as we can. Yesterday's Budget, | :18:29. | :18:34. | |
lowering of corporation tax, something you welcome isn't it? | :18:34. | :18:38. | |
great thing for business. Nobody has a magic wand. If we can do | :18:38. | :18:43. | |
things step-by-step, slowly we can improve the economy. We would like | :18:43. | :18:53. | |
:18:53. | :18:54. | ||
to hear from you as always. It you live and work in Crewe, please e- | :18:54. | :18:57. | |
mail us. I am sure she won't let those ice- | :18:57. | :19:03. | |
creams go to waste. After what I have been doing today, | :19:03. | :19:08. | |
I fancy an ice-cream. We will hear more about Roger has | :19:08. | :19:13. | |
been doing, Lycra was involved. Football: The Manchester City | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
manager, Roberto Mancini, says Carlos Tevez can play a crucial | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
part in helping the team try and win the Premier League. The striker | :19:19. | :19:22. | |
came off the bench to set up the winner against Chelsea to take City | :19:22. | :19:25. | |
back to within a point of neighbours United at the top. Tevez | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
had been in exile for six months after refusing to warm up during a | :19:29. | :19:34. | |
Champions League match. With that and a bad night for Liverpool, | :19:34. | :19:40. | |
here's Richard Askam. Better late than never seemed to be | :19:40. | :19:45. | |
the feeling amongst the city faithful, as Carlos Tevez made his | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
long awaited return. And with no problems with his warm-up or the | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
manager's instructions, his late arrival of the bench had the | :19:53. | :19:59. | |
desired effect. With a little over 10 minutes to go and Chelsea 1-0 up, | :19:59. | :20:03. | |
sitting as a feared their title chances were slipping away. But | :20:03. | :20:08. | |
after this equaliser, Tevez made his mark. Not with a goal but a | :20:08. | :20:14. | |
clever pass which set up Samir Nasri. And he was very much back in | :20:14. | :20:19. | |
the city fold. But not quite back in everybody's good books. It he | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
makes the difference, he has already lost us the difference, we | :20:23. | :20:26. | |
are out of the Carling Cup, Champions League and the Europa | :20:26. | :20:35. | |
League. We have dropped 14 points. Welcome him back. Liverpool | :20:35. | :20:38. | |
supporters were left scratching their heads after watching their | :20:38. | :20:44. | |
side throw away a two-goal lead at QPR. How about that from a | :20:44. | :20:48. | |
defender! And a move that could have been finished several times | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
before Kirk I'd put it in, but the Reds in charge. But at the poor | :20:52. | :21:00. | |
defending allowed QPR to get one back, but they were on the charge. | :21:00. | :21:06. | |
Liverpool old boy levels. And then they got the winner. At Goodison | :21:06. | :21:11. | |
Park, Everdon came back against Arsenal but went down to an early | :21:11. | :21:21. | |
:21:21. | :21:24. | ||
goal. In just over two weeks' time, | :21:24. | :21:31. | |
people will gather in Preston. It will involve drama, singing and | :21:31. | :21:35. | |
dancing and takes place in Preston Bus Station. It is not too late to | :21:35. | :21:45. | |
:21:45. | :21:47. | ||
get involved, here is Peter Marshall. | :21:47. | :21:53. | |
Slowly, stunner me, the Preston passion is coming together. Keep | :21:53. | :21:57. | |
them up into a new place them. Volunteers have been rehearsing | :21:57. | :22:02. | |
every weekend for several weeks. Among them, a retired shop | :22:02. | :22:06. | |
assistant, Gloria. It might be my last Preston Guild because this is | :22:06. | :22:12. | |
my 4th and next time I think I will be a bit too old to join in. I | :22:12. | :22:16. | |
would say it has been one of the best things that has ever happened | :22:16. | :22:22. | |
to me. I would do it again, and I will decide when it is over. | :22:22. | :22:32. | |
:22:32. | :22:35. | ||
Rehearsals have been hard work and not everything is going to plan. | :22:35. | :22:41. | |
Mark is the man charged with making sure around 1000 volunteers are | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
perfect at noon on Good Friday. How do you think this is going to look | :22:45. | :22:54. | |
on the day? Spectacular, epic. Also moments of intimacy and it will | :22:54. | :23:04. | |
:23:04. | :23:04. | ||
look like real people doing something very special. Three | :23:04. | :23:10. | |
generations of this family are taking part. I feel like I am at | :23:10. | :23:16. | |
home with everybody. In nice smile, and enjoy it. We will enjoy every | :23:16. | :23:22. | |
minute. Anthony Leadbetter has little experience of performing in | :23:22. | :23:27. | |
front of the sort of audience that is expected, but is enjoying a | :23:27. | :23:32. | |
once-in-a-lifetime experience. shows I can do stuff like this. | :23:32. | :23:36. | |
Because I am in the bottom set at school, it does not mean I cannot | :23:36. | :23:42. | |
do anything. You are enjoying this? I am. All those taking part are | :23:42. | :23:47. | |
keen and determined to make this unique for Preston, and it will be | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
spectacular. There is still on opportunity for other people to get | :23:51. | :23:58. | |
involved. Volunteers, young or old are needed to join in the last two | :23:58. | :24:03. | |
weeks of rehearsals, as Preston puts the final touches to its epic | :24:03. | :24:09. | |
performance, the passion. So excited. It looks great. | :24:09. | :24:16. | |
You can visit the website at for more details on how to get involved. | :24:16. | :24:22. | |
Keep going Gloria, you will get it! We have an exciting visit to | :24:22. | :24:27. | |
tomorrow, her Majesty the Queen will officially open BBC North. | :24:27. | :24:31. | |
Here she is in recent times unveiling a statue of Eric | :24:31. | :24:36. | |
Morecambe. The Duke of Edinburgh will be here to open Salford | :24:36. | :24:41. | |
University's building across the Plaza. The Queen will visit the UK | :24:41. | :24:46. | |
media City studios. She will be here and then she will start but | :24:46. | :24:50. | |
the Sport Relief Mile. Or we will bring you all of that coverage | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
tomorrow. It will be buzzing tomorrow. | :24:53. | :24:58. | |
I will need a lie-down. You will see some pictures in a | :24:58. | :25:02. | |
moment. I wish she had come today because | :25:02. | :25:12. | |
we could have given her aim warm It was a beautiful day. Tomorrow, | :25:12. | :25:17. | |
is a day of two hearts. It will be cloudy to start but the sun will | :25:17. | :25:23. | |
come out in the afternoon. Through the day, most places saw some nice | :25:23. | :25:31. | |
temperatures. It looked and felt wonderful. If you were out and | :25:31. | :25:35. | |
about you'll notice the breeze was stiff from time to time. It could | :25:35. | :25:41. | |
even be a better day tomorrow. Outside of your window there is not | :25:41. | :25:46. | |
a huge amount of cloud a round but it will thicken as the night goes | :25:46. | :25:54. | |
on by midnight. It won't be as cold as it was last night. Temperatures | :25:54. | :26:02. | |
down to around five Celsius. Many places 6, 7 and maybe and eight. | :26:02. | :26:07. | |
You will notice in the Irish Sea, particularly for parts of the arid | :26:07. | :26:11. | |
-- Isle of Man, there is some rain moving towards us from the south- | :26:11. | :26:15. | |
west. And there will be some drizzle so when you get up bursting | :26:15. | :26:20. | |
tomorrow morning, there will still be a bit of that around. The rain | :26:20. | :26:26. | |
could still be around in parts. It will move away late morning and it | :26:26. | :26:34. | |
will dry up and the sun comes at. If you have got good eyes, you will | :26:34. | :26:38. | |
notice in parts of Merseyside, there will be a shower here and | :26:38. | :26:42. | |
there. Manchester, Cheshire and Merseyside could see them. Some | :26:42. | :26:47. | |
places could miss them entirely and they are not a big threat. As the | :26:47. | :26:52. | |
sun comes out, temperatures could equal today or they could be better. | :26:52. | :26:57. | |
We could be looking at 17 or 18 degrees. Tomorrow night there is | :26:58. | :27:02. | |
nothing to trouble you. For the weekend, it is not often we can | :27:02. | :27:04. | |
bring you of forecasts that has high-pressure in charge in a | :27:04. | :27:07. | |
high-pressure in charge in a positive way. Look at the outlook | :27:07. | :27:12. | |
for the next couple of days. It is time to get your own back on | :27:12. | :27:19. | |

likes it, I force it on him. I did Stoke to Salford and this is | :27:27. | :27:36. | |
when we got to the finish. Did you enjoy it? Loved it, they | :27:36. | :27:40. |
