Welcome to South East Today, I'm Polly Evans. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Tonight's top stories: What next for Calais? | :00:07. | :00:10. | |
As bulldozers clear the rem`ins of the Jungle camp, we look | :00:11. | :00:14. | |
at its impact and what it could mean for Kent. | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
We'll be talking live with one of the refugee charities in calais, | :00:18. | :00:19. | |
His "life-altering operation" was cancelled at the last mhnute. | :00:20. | :00:25. | |
Now this Sussex teenager saxs he fears for his future. | :00:26. | :00:33. | |
If I did not have flexibility in my back it would restrict me so much. | :00:34. | :00:41. | |
Also in tonight's programme: Will terror-style security | :00:42. | :00:43. | |
and a rail strike put a dampener on the Lewes Bonfire? | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
Goodbye to Love - Brighton's registrar, Trevor Love, | :00:47. | :00:48. | |
the first to oversee a same sex wedding in the UK, retires. | :00:49. | :00:58. | |
Britain's leading silk farm flourishes. | :00:59. | :01:00. | |
And the remarkable story of how a Kent aristocrat devoted hdr castle | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
to creating Britain's first silk farm. | :01:04. | :01:18. | |
The British and French governments said "the human thing to do" | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
was to close the Jungle camp in Calais. | :01:22. | :01:23. | |
Today the bulldozers began flattening its remains. | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
In recent years tens of thotsands of migrants and refugees have | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
flocked to the French port , often on a perilous journey to Kent, | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
In 1999 the Red Cross controversially opened a calp | :01:34. | :01:41. | |
at Sangatte, but it was closed down three years later amid | :01:42. | :01:43. | |
concerns it was actually attracting migrants there. | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
Smaller camps have spontaneously appeared again and again since. | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
In 2009 the first large camp to be known as the Jungle was bulldozed. | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
But it didn't deter the migrants, and a new, semi-official | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
Jungle camp emerged - at one point as many as 10,000 | :02:00. | :02:01. | |
This week it has of course been demolished | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
and 5500 people dispersed around France. | :02:06. | :02:07. | |
In a moment we'll be crossing live to the Jungle, where we'll be | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
speaking to Lallie Jacout from the charity Help Refugdes | :02:11. | :02:12. | |
and we'll be live in Dover talking to the town's MP Charlie Elphicke. | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
But first our reporter Peter Whittlesea reflects | :02:17. | :02:17. | |
With the jungle largely destroyed migrants woke up on the pavdment | :02:18. | :02:32. | |
outside the camp propping charities to question the French authority's | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
claims everyone, including children, had been processed and given | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
shelter. We have nowhere for around 80 unaccompanied children in the cab | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
to sleep. They came to the warehouse for processing earlier and turned | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
away and told to go back to the camp which is a very dangerous place | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
especially now with the fird is raging. This morning migrants return | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
to the camp despite the French authorities claiming everyone had | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
been processed and the oper`tion declared over. We do not want the | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
registration process we had here to attract every migrants in France. | :03:09. | :03:16. | |
Our mission is to offer shelter to all the migrants in the camp has | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
been achieved. Yesterday it was only possible to clear the majorhty of | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
the jungle after fires brokd out. My cameraman and myself were in the | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
camp as the flames spread. There was no choice but to leave, and quickly. | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
Reduced to ashes in full more than an hour, the only place thotsands | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
could call home. -- in little more than an hour. You can see how | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
quickly the fire has spread. It is quite hot, you can fuel the | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
temperature from the fires. Cutting through the fire, migrants raised | :03:50. | :03:59. | |
the alarm. Crazy situation, so it was like get | :04:00. | :04:09. | |
out. As the flames spread positions they could carry were saved. | :04:10. | :04:17. | |
Migrants set the gap on fird, witnesses said,. | :04:18. | :04:24. | |
This fire is smouldering and this smoking quite heavily and there are | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
more fires over there and the French Fire Brigade are trying to put the | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
fire out and you can see thd water overheads. This is in the hdart of | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
the jungle and the fire brigade are trying to put them out and they are | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
trying to tell us to go out and overhear the caravans are on fire | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
and this street here there `re many buildings also burned down. | :04:47. | :04:53. | |
Migrants were helpless to intervene but thankful the escaped in time. -- | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
thankful the escape. I'm joined now by Lallie Jacout | :04:59. | :04:58. | |
from the charity Help Refugdes, and the MP for Dover | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
and Deal Charlie Elphicke. Lallie Jacout, more than 5500 people | :05:02. | :05:03. | |
have now been dispersed We could say it is good news if we | :05:04. | :05:18. | |
knew more about where they were going but more importantly that is | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
not the total sum of people in the camp. Just five minutes ago I was | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
walking along with 100 people with nowhere to stay when there `re no | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
more bosses today or tomorrow and the police told them to disperse and | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
it was now a problem for thd charities. -- no more bosses. No | :05:37. | :05:45. | |
more frostbite. Included were numerous children and lasts about | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
100 children were unaccompanied for. They were not allowed into the | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
warehouse where registration was happening and today we only have 30 | :05:55. | :06:01. | |
accounted for. 70 are in thd wind. Is any provision put in place for | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
migrants to turn up in the Calais area now, let alone the ones are | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
still there. If someone turns up now is that any provision for ddaling | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
with them? Absolutely nothing by the state. They would be arrestdd on | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
site, as far as I can tell. The charities are still here working | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
very hard to do the best we can Mobile units helping people out but | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
we do not know if that will be allowed so in reality there will be | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
nothing for these people arriving. You're the MP for Dover, Ch`rlie, | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
you have been calling for this dispersal for a long time btt it | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
does not sound as it has bedn done so and how happy and there will | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
still be significant problels going on? I welcome the jungle finally | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
been dismantled and we should bear in mind this Christmas thousands of | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
vulnerable people well have safer homes, running water and proper | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
sanitation in France and th`t is the right thing. We now need to see the | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
children still they are properly looked after and cared for `nd the | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
rest of the people helped to safer places. | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
We talked before about it, particularly the juxtaposed border | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
controls from Le Touquet. Are you concerned about what will h`ppen | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
over the next couple of years ago we will see more issues in the future? | :07:21. | :07:28. | |
Who knows what will happen with the Le Touquet Treaty and the French | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
presidential elections or indeed how the Brexit negotiations will go | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
What we do know is we need to take control, invest more in Dovdr, | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
invest in Channel security `nd the roads to Dover as well as border | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
controls and work with the French to make sure we go after the pdople | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
traffickers behind so much of this misery that Calais has had to bear | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
the brunt of for so many ye`rs. I think we can see some smoke behind | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
you, there is clearly still things going on. Are you seeing evhdence of | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
people in the area engaged hn people smuggling? I like the whole point of | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
this if they are very covert, we would not be able to spot them. That | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
is a huge risk, especially with children who are out in the wind. | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
Every charity told the governments and the authorities the children | :08:23. | :08:24. | |
should be dealt with first `nd instead it happened the othdr way | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
round and children were funnelled into the containers whilst they | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
watched their homes burn and showed on the smoke of the only holes they | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
have known for the past couple of months and not even of the children | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
made that they are. Roaming around Calais and they have been moved | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
around all day going back and forth trying to get registered and they | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
did not registered and that is a real threat that someone max find | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
them and kidnap them. Thank you very much for joining us. We will return | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
to the subject over time. You can watch more | :08:58. | :08:58. | |
about the dismantling of the Camp in Calais, | :08:59. | :09:00. | |
what happens next, and the hmpact here in the south-east in a special | :09:01. | :09:02. | |
edition of Inside Out on BBC One The secret plans for | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
a multi-million pound A teenager from Sussex who had | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
a "life-altering operation" cancelled by the NHS at the last | :09:11. | :09:25. | |
minute has been told he has just four weeks to have the procddure | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
or face giving up his fledghng 17-year-old Jamie Kaye, who has | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
performed for the Queen in the past, was due to have an operation to help | :09:34. | :09:39. | |
straighten his spine. But new NHS guidance means | :09:40. | :09:41. | |
it now can't go ahead. Now his family who live | :09:42. | :09:48. | |
in East Grinstead say it's ` race against time to find someond | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
to perform the operation. Briohny Williams has our | :09:52. | :09:53. | |
exclusive report. Jamie Kaye had been preparing for | :09:54. | :10:01. | |
his operation to help his ctrvature pays Spain months. My shoulder pokes | :10:02. | :10:08. | |
out and my rib cage staked out a bit. | :10:09. | :10:08. | |
You can see my rib cage pokds out. He put his education on hold and | :10:09. | :10:16. | |
made sure he was doing all the right exercises, although to be told a few | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
weeks beforehand that was not going ahead. Just disbelief, the only | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
thing I could think of when I found out it had been cancelled, H did not | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
believe it. The NHS say it was cancelled because it does not fund | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
this type of procedure and because of his age his doctor says ht wants | :10:35. | :10:37. | |
with privately it must be done within weeks, before he stopped | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
going. He was put in to havd body tethering were screws are attached | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
to vertebrae and a chord, the tether, joins the screws and it can | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
then be tension to straightdn the spine and allows for continted | :10:53. | :10:55. | |
growth and increased mobility later in life. What Jamie was instead | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
offered was spinal fusion where the screws are attached by metal rods | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
and the bone graft is used to join together at the vertebrae so there | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
is no movement between them. His parents want to raise over ?100 000 | :11:10. | :11:15. | |
to take him to New York to have the operation he needs to carry on doing | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
the things he loves like gylnastics and dance. She has been so focused | :11:19. | :11:25. | |
since seven years old and pdrforming is what he wants to do. We just | :11:26. | :11:31. | |
cannot feel him. Devastated the NHS told us the only option in the UK is | :11:32. | :11:38. | |
a spinal rods. He is a dancdr and acrobats and that would cause him to | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
lose the lot of flexibility so that is not a suitable option for him. | :11:43. | :11:51. | |
But exercise sometimes you can help to strengthen the spine but in his | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
case he has already quite a severe curve. I know he is getting quite a | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
bit of pain. In pain and desperate to rahse | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
enough money. If I wait and how the NHS get the funding it will be too | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
late for me. For Jamie and his family the clock is ticking. | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
More than 2700 lorries have been caught parking in unsafe or illegal | :12:15. | :12:16. | |
locations in Kent over the past year. | :12:17. | :12:18. | |
The HGVs were all either moved on, fined or immobilised. | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
Kent Police and Highways England have been working together to target | :12:22. | :12:24. | |
lorries parked on lay-bys, hard shoulders and | :12:25. | :12:26. | |
A Labour activist from Kent, who was suspended from the party | :12:27. | :12:34. | |
after comments she made about anti-semitism | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
and Holocaust Memorial Day, is calling for public help to raise | :12:39. | :12:41. | |
money for legal action against Labour's general secretary. | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
Jackie Walker's trying to r`ise ten thousand pounds | :12:46. | :12:47. | |
BBC South East has learned of multi-million pound plans | :12:48. | :12:55. | |
to dramatically develop the Port of Ramsgate, | :12:56. | :12:58. | |
with a bid for ?4 million of Government of money, | :12:59. | :13:01. | |
to be coupled with ?2 million from Thanet District Council. | :13:02. | :13:04. | |
The development would potentially double the number of lorries | :13:05. | :13:06. | |
able to use the facility to a million a year. | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
Our Environment Correspondent Yvette Austin joins us now. | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
Yvette, first of all explain more about the plan | :13:17. | :13:18. | |
At the heart of this is the Thanet Council best want to make the sport | :13:19. | :13:30. | |
work. It owns it and as originally said it wants to make it | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
commercially competitive. It used to have various groups there. The new | :13:35. | :13:44. | |
plan is long-term and I unddrstand the bid for Government monex in the | :13:45. | :13:48. | |
spring failed because they put it in too late but it will be revhsed | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
This is a plan for mainly freight operation building a new birth of | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
the cross-channel ferries and another phase would see a freight | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
logistics hub for miles awax. Has that been reaction this evening | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
locally to this? To the Mac a big freight operation with thousands of | :14:08. | :14:10. | |
lorries will be controversi`l and there is a public meeting tonight | :14:11. | :14:13. | |
where people will hear about a plan to expand aggregates and thhs other | :14:14. | :14:19. | |
plan is much bigger and the local MP told me he does not think a dirty | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
type of business like this hs right for the port and thinks the tile has | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
much more to offer its incrdasing number of visitors. -- the town is | :14:29. | :14:30. | |
much more to offer. Charities which rely on the annual | :14:31. | :14:32. | |
Lewes Bonfire for some of their funding say they'rd worried | :14:33. | :14:35. | |
that collection totals may be significantly down this year - | :14:36. | :14:37. | |
as a planned rail strike, and extra security following recent | :14:38. | :14:40. | |
terrorist attacks, mean fewdr people Southern has announced no trains | :14:41. | :14:43. | |
will run after midday on Saturday week, because of the the action | :14:44. | :14:47. | |
by RMT union members. But many in the town fear additional | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
road closures will put people John Young's report has | :14:51. | :14:53. | |
some flashing images. For more than 160 years it has been | :14:54. | :15:01. | |
one of the most colourful fundraisers in the country, | :15:02. | :15:04. | |
the rival bonfire societies believe their buckets raise more | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
than ?60,000 a year for charity But it has always been | :15:10. | :15:11. | |
a challenge for the police, and three months after a terrorist | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
atrocity in Nice in the South of France, they say they're | :15:16. | :15:18. | |
not taking any chances. We do not expect anything to happen, | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
but we do need contingencies in case something does happen and wd have | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
to look around the rest of the country and the rest | :15:27. | :15:28. | |
of the world about things going on in the past 12 months | :15:29. | :15:31. | |
and slightly longer. So we've got to put some | :15:32. | :15:34. | |
contingencies in place and part of that is, I'm afraid, | :15:35. | :15:36. | |
we have had to close the A26 from 5pm and some of the other | :15:37. | :15:39. | |
roads slightly earlier Yes, for the first time | :15:40. | :15:43. | |
the approaches to the Caulfheld tunnel and the tunnel itself | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
will be closed altogether. To the north, the approach | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
from Cooksbridge will close at pm It will be the same on approaches | :15:52. | :15:53. | |
from the south and west. That, it is feared, may | :15:54. | :15:57. | |
mean people staying away with the direct effect on charities | :15:58. | :16:00. | |
like the Bevan Trust - a local charity that helps xoung | :16:01. | :16:06. | |
adults with profound disabilities. Much of their income comes from | :16:07. | :16:09. | |
an old-fashioned street don`tions. They do understand | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
the police's thinking but... We have three buses, | :16:15. | :16:16. | |
they need to be replaced, Every penny counts for us, | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
every penny that comes in m`kes a massive difference, | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
not just to the people we look Looking at the map, it is a very | :16:26. | :16:28. | |
practical place where they have actually put all the roadblocks | :16:29. | :16:34. | |
for turing around and stopphng However, the exclusion of ptblic | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
transport is is going to very It is only three months | :16:39. | :16:44. | |
since security was beefed up at Brighton's Pride event and then | :16:45. | :16:50. | |
at Eastbourne Airborne. Decisions, it seems, | :16:51. | :16:53. | |
that may have consequences So, John, will there be | :16:54. | :16:55. | |
any public transport Very it seems. If you want to come | :16:56. | :17:14. | |
by train on the Saturday yot will have to be here by midday bdcause | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
the last train is at 12 and that could lose around 30,000 visitors. | :17:19. | :17:25. | |
Organisers and the charities we spoke to are pinning their hopes on | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
buses and hope some sort of public bus service can be arranged a mile | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
or so outside town to bring people into the centre of town. I spoke to | :17:35. | :17:37. | |
Brighton and Hove bus company and they are working plans out `s we | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
speak but the council and police and should have something on thdir | :17:42. | :17:45. | |
website tomorrow afternoon on what the bosses will be. Thank you. What | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
the buses will be. Bulldozers have begun a flat in the | :17:51. | :17:59. | |
migrant camp in Calais known as the Jungle. Charity see hundreds of | :18:00. | :18:03. | |
people, including children, remain there was nowhere to sleep despite | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
the French authorities saying the opposition to disburse resident has | :18:08. | :18:15. | |
been a success. -- the oper`tion to disperse residents. | :18:16. | :18:16. | |
We meet Brighton's chief registrar - the man who conducted | :18:17. | :18:21. | |

It is another foggy starts tomorrow and brightening up by the afternoon. | :18:23. | :18:28. | |
The details on that and do we can's forecast later in the progr`mme -- | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
and the weekend's forecast. The Royal British Legion | :18:33. | :18:35. | |
was founded in the years after the first world war, | :18:36. | :18:37. | |
as the nation recognised th`t many of the wounded servicelen | :18:38. | :18:39. | |
who had survived needed help - sometimes physical, | :18:40. | :18:42. | |
sometimes mental - and sometimes for the rest | :18:43. | :18:43. | |
of their lives. But as Heather Edwards reports, | :18:44. | :18:45. | |
for this years poppy appeal, we're being urged to | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
'rethink Remembrance' - and recognise that their work | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
is still as vital in helping You see, I was taught soldidrs | :18:55. | :18:58. | |

Roy Miller served with the Royal Navy during | :19:03. | :19:08. | |
the Second World War. Attacked by kamikaze pilots, | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
it was a harrowing experience. The message - veterans can be | :19:12. | :19:14. | |

putting him in a wheelchair. With the help of the British Legion | :19:43. | :19:44. | |
he took part in a recovery It's helped him come to terls | :19:45. | :19:48. | |
with his physical injuries. The benefits from that showdd | :19:49. | :19:54. | |
when I went home, I was a lot more relaxed, calmer and I got to meet | :19:55. | :19:59. | |
a great bunch of people, so we kind of bounced off e`ch other | :20:00. | :20:02. | |
and helped each other Overnight, these huge video screens | :20:03. | :20:05. | |
have been erected here in the shadow of St Paul's Cathedral in cdntral | :20:06. | :20:18. | |

- you could be 18, you could be 80 - and there really is a new gdneration | :20:24. | :20:33. | |
of veterans and we are really keen for the nation to understand that | :20:34. | :20:36. | |
and support that new generation We've got to remember that | :20:37. | :20:39. | |

on their feet. Lullingstone Castle in Kent | :20:57. | :21:09. | |
is probably best known thesd days as the home of its World Garden | :21:10. | :21:12. | |
which contains all sorts of exotic plants collected from around | :21:13. | :21:15. | |
the globe by adventuring gardener But it was his grandmother who first | :21:16. | :21:18. | |
made the family home famous more than 80 years by opening | :21:19. | :21:28. | |
the UK's first silk farm. Lady Zoe Hart-Dyke kept hundreds | :21:29. | :21:32. | |
of thousands of silkworms in the stately Home at Eynesford | :21:33. | :21:35. | |
and grew 20 acres of mulberry trees Some of the silk would be used | :21:36. | :21:40. | |
in the Queen's Coronation robes In case you do not recognisd | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
them they are silkworms, and the leaves are from | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
specially-grown mulberry trdes. It is down at Lullingstone Castle, | :21:49. | :21:50. | |
Kent, where Britain's leading It was, on the face | :21:51. | :21:53. | |
of it, a bizarre idea - turn a fine family home | :21:54. | :21:58. | |
into a silk farm. But in 1933, after being fascinated | :21:59. | :22:01. | |
by silkworms as a girl, that is what Lady Hart-Dyke | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
decided to do. These days the silkworms | :22:06. | :22:07. | |
are gone, but for her son, just a boy at the time, | :22:08. | :22:10. | |
the memories remain. There are 50 rooms in the house | :22:11. | :22:12. | |
and about 40 of them were t`ken up Elizabeth and her husband w`ved | :22:13. | :22:19. | |
to the cheering crowds... In 1947 the then Princess Elizabeth | :22:20. | :22:40. | |
had the silk used on And six years later | :22:41. | :22:42. | |
in her Coronation robes. The silkworms may be gone, | :22:43. | :22:50. | |
but there are still some relinders here of those years when thd farm | :22:51. | :22:53. | |
took over this house. These cocoons were spun out of silk | :22:54. | :22:59. | |
by just three of the thousands The worms climb up into small | :23:00. | :23:05. | |
trusses of straw and spin themselves It was not just the house | :23:06. | :23:12. | |
which was dominated by the silk farm, including the machinery needed | :23:13. | :23:16. | |
to process the silk. The gardens were planted | :23:17. | :23:18. | |
with hundreds of mulberry btshes to provide leaves to keep | :23:19. | :23:22. | |
the hungry silkworms happy. Divorce saw Lady Hart-Dyke leave | :23:23. | :23:27. | |
Lullingstone Castle and takd the silk farm with her, | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
but for 23 years it had, It worked, it worked very wdll | :23:32. | :23:33. | |
indeed, largely thanks Her extraordinary vision, | :23:34. | :23:39. | |
now woven into British history. He made history as the first | :23:40. | :23:56. | |
registrar to marry a same But now the aptly named | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
Trevor Love is retiring - after fourteen years in charge | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
at Brighton Town Hall. Trevor officiated over the country's | :24:06. | :24:08. | |
first civil partnerships in December 2005 and the first gay weddhng, | :24:09. | :24:11. | |
in March 2014. Altogether he has conducted more | :24:12. | :24:14. | |
than a thousand ceremonies. Claudia Sermbezis has | :24:15. | :24:20. | |
been to meet him. Just after midnight 2014. Two men | :24:21. | :24:38. | |
make history. You are not ldgally married, so congratulations. -- you | :24:39. | :24:44. | |
are now legally married. Historic for the couple, Brighton and Trevor | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
Love, the registrar. By the time we left it was one in the mornhng and | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
the thing that amazed me more than anything was when we left there was | :24:55. | :25:01. | |
a crowd of several hundred people outside who just appeared from | :25:02. | :25:04. | |
nowhere to greet the couple and shear them. I thought, what a | :25:05. | :25:10. | |
wonderful place it is that we live. -- ensure them. Where peopld are so | :25:11. | :25:16. | |
accepting. Yesterday Trevor Mallard has last couple. I felt -- Trevor | :25:17. | :25:22. | |
married his last couple. I felt quite emotional and thought it would | :25:23. | :25:26. | |
be terrible if I burst into tears but I saw one of the rooms was | :25:27. | :25:29. | |
crying anyway so I pulled mxself together. -- one of the grooms. | :25:30. | :25:39. | |
I could not resist the music pun. For 14 years it has been Mr Love | :25:40. | :25:48. | |
marrying thousands of peopld. Magazine editor James led what was | :25:49. | :25:54. | |
one of them. With the same section marriage legislation it was very | :25:55. | :25:59. | |
important somebody presented it well for the community, which he did and | :26:00. | :26:05. | |
he was a great ambassador for both the community and the city. He also | :26:06. | :26:11. | |
conducted Brighton and Hove's first civil partnerships in 2005. He is a | :26:12. | :26:17. | |
bit of a legend and is a big character in the office so H am very | :26:18. | :26:25. | |
excited about the new job btt I feel I am following in a very big shadow | :26:26. | :26:29. | |
here. One thing clever says he will not | :26:30. | :26:39. | |
miss is the most commonly rdquested music, Canon In D. | :26:40. | :26:41. | |
It is lovely! And now the wdather. Through the next few days it settles | :26:42. | :26:55. | |
and similar to today. We st`rt with sums stubborn mist and fog `nd by | :26:56. | :27:02. | |
the afternoon it brightens tp. Today temperatures at under 15 Celsius, | :27:03. | :27:07. | |
quite pleasant and the winds back to south-westerly direction and a | :27:08. | :27:10. | |
relatively mild for the next few days. Tomorrow is similar to today, | :27:11. | :27:16. | |
starting with mist and fog `nd bite into the afternoon. Tonight, some | :27:17. | :27:23. | |
clearer skies lighter winds, mist and fog, temperatures not qtite as | :27:24. | :27:27. | |
low as last night, mostly in double figures. Still this area of high | :27:28. | :27:34. | |
pressure stays with us, light winds from the south-west and first being | :27:35. | :27:40. | |
it has missed the boat throtgh the morning we start to see somd breaks | :27:41. | :27:46. | |
in the cloud and some other temperatures to today, 15-16dC. Some | :27:47. | :27:53. | |
cloud around and into Saturday we see clearer skies developing and | :27:54. | :27:57. | |
some more mist and fog with temperatures dropping to around 10 | :27:58. | :28:03. | |
Celsius. We are dry as we start Saturday and staying that w`y. By | :28:04. | :28:09. | |
the afternoon once again around 15-16dC, perhaps a bit more cloud | :28:10. | :28:14. | |
and a similar story into Sunday and indeed for Halloween itself on | :28:15. | :28:20. | |
Monday. Lots of dry and ple`sant weather, Misty and foggy st`rts so | :28:21. | :28:23. | |
take care if you are out and about on the roads first thing. | :28:24. | :28:32. | |
All good for Halloween. But is it from us. Join us again at 8pm and | :28:33. | :28:38. | |
10:30pm. And I will be back tomorrow, so see you then. Goodbye. | :28:39. | :28:43. |
