Hello, I'm Sally Taylor, welcome to South Today. In tonight's | :00:02. | :00:10. | |
programme: The South remembers, and for many | :00:10. | :00:17. | |
the tributes to the fallen are very personal. | :00:17. | :00:22. | |

being in the infantry, that is what they were for, they were there to | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
fight and he loved every minute of The next generation remembers those | :00:30. | :00:35. | |
who gave their lives as a new war memorial is unveiled. | :00:35. | :00:40. | |
Proud of them because they represented our country, and they | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
fought for us. Goodbye humble train ticket, hello | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
smartcard as one train company takes the plunge. | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
And the hard-working ten-year-old carer who has just won a top | :00:48. | :00:58. | |
:00:58. | :01:04. | ||
At 11am this morning, people fell silent right across the South to | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
remember those who have died for their country. It is a national | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
tradition that began 93 years ago, and it seems to grow more powerful | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
with every passing year. In Berkshire, the Poppy Appeal is set | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
to break records, with nearly a million pounds raised. Today in | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
Southampton, new additions to the city's war memorial were unveiled, | :01:22. | :01:32. | |
:01:32. | :01:34. | ||
and our reporter Steve Humphrey is there for us now. | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
The service held here at the Cenotaph in Southampton was one of | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
many held across the south, and it was a very special ceremony because | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
they have unveiled these brand new glass panels which include the | :01:46. | :01:52. | |
names of over 3,000 local people who have died in wars and conflicts | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
since 1914. The reason they have put the names on the glass panels | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
is that the original names on the 19-year-old Senedd have have begun | :02:00. | :02:06. | |
to a road. Amongst those taking part today were friends and family | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
of some of those killed in Afghanistan. Chris Coneybeer has | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
been talking to the father of a Reading soldier who was killed in | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
Helmand province, and has also been speaking to a senior army officer | :02:17. | :02:26. | |
whose regiment has suffered very many losses over recent years. | :02:26. | :02:35. | |
It began with a him. Then, from different points around the parade | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
ground, the names of all of those who have died since the rifles were | :02:39. | :02:46. | |
formed five years ago were read out, 77 of them. Corporal Robinson, | :02:46. | :02:56. | |
:02:56. | :03:01. | ||
Afghanistan, 2009. Then, the We have clearly suffered a | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
tremendous number of soldiers killed, and so as a family it is | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
critical for us to come together and remember those who have fallen. | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
The focal point of the service was the new memorial which records the | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
names of those from Ford Battalion the rifles who have died in Iraq, | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
Afghanistan and the UK. There were relatives at the service, among | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
them some who had all too recently suffered a loss. But the work goes | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
on. For rifles is currently the spearhead battalion, ready to | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
respond at short notice to go anywhere needed. Across the south, | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
many paused for thought today. Chris Green laid a wreath and | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
tended the grave of his son Richard, who was killed in Afghanistan last | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
year. When he was in combat, that is what he lived for, really, and | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
he felt being in the infantry, that is what they were for, they were | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
there to fight and he loved every minute of that. I guess the nation | :04:00. | :04:06. | |
is feeling a pride for people like him, and we should feel a pride for | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
them, we should be proud of what they did and it is about | :04:10. | :04:19. | |
remembering them as well, which is important to the families. | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
Amongst those holding special ceremonies today were the people | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
down at Lee-on-the-Solent. They have added two names to their war | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
memorial, one is a local man who died in Malaya in 1950, another is | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
a local man who died in the Falklands war in 1982. | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
For two minutes, many people stopped what they were doing at | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
11am. The time that the guns on the Western Front had fallen silent at | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
the end of the First World War. Our high streets and in big shopping | :04:50. | :04:56. | |
centres, people remembered. At railway stations, there was a pause | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
amidst the fossil and bustle of a busy Friday morning. For young and | :04:59. | :05:06. | |
old, it was a moment to stop and reflect. At Lee-on-the-Solent, | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
workers from a nearby building site joined those gathered for the | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
ceremony at the War Memorial. Here, they unveiled two new names which | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
have just been added to the list of the fallen. Petty Officer David | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
Briggs died on HMS Sheffield in the Falklands war in 1982 as he battled | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
to try to save the ship after it was hit by a missile. Corporal | :05:28. | :05:34. | |
Bryant was killed when an aircraft crashed in Malaya in August, 1950. | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
It is what we have always wanted, and it has come at long last, come | :05:39. | :05:46. | |
to light up. It is where he should be. Amongst those at today's | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
service were some of the men who served alongside -- alongside David | :05:51. | :05:58. | |
Briggs at HMS Sheffield and remembered his bravery. A little | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
bit of tears. It is one of those little stories from wartime that | :06:02. | :06:08. | |
you remember, you know? Just the bravery of it. I don't even think I | :06:08. | :06:15. | |
would have done it. It has taken some time to add the names of | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
Corporal Bryant and Petty Officer David Briggs to the memorial, but | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
at last their sacrifice is recognised alongside those who gave | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
their lives in the first and second world wars. | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
A large number of services will be taking place in the south across | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
the weekend. Later in the programme we will look at how young people in | :06:37. | :06:44. | |
the south have been getting involved in acts of remembrance. | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
And just to let you know about a special documentary running on | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
Radio Berkshire this weekend. It is presented by Helena Tym, whose 19- | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
year-old son Cyrus Thatcher was killed in Afghanistan in 2009. You | :06:53. | :07:02. | |
can hear The Lion Of Afghanistan Danilo Restivo, who murdered | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
Bournemouth mother Heather Barnett, has been sentenced to 30 years by | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
an Italian court for killing another woman, 16-year-old Elisa | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
Claps. In June this year, Restivo was sentenced to life without | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
parole for killing and mutilating his neighbour, Heather Barnett. | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
Today, the court in Italy tried the 39-year-old in his absence for | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
killing a teenager in Italy 18 years ago. The body of Elisa Claps | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
was found last year in the attic of a church in her home town of | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
Potenza. Five boys have been found guilty of | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
carrying out an armed robbery at a Southampton newsagents. The | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
teenagers, including one who was only 13-years-old at the time, | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
threatened the shopkeeper of the Spring Road newsagents in Sholing | :07:38. | :07:44. | |
with a gun. The judge said the robbery was so serious he was | :07:44. | :07:53. | |
willing to lift a ban preventing the boys being named. All five will | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
be detained for 18 months. The families of two severely | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
disabled adults have won a landmark legal battle over attempts by the | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
Isle of Wight Council to make cuts to its social care budget. A High | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
Court judge today ruled that changes which affected who could | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
claim financial help were unlawful. The council says it will not appeal | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
the decision. Nancy Jackson reports. The Isle of Wight Council needs to | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
save �1.6 million on adult social care. It decided to reassess the | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
708 people on the island who receive social care funding from | :08:22. | :08:29. | |
the council so that the most vulnerable were protected. 47 | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
people were identified as needing additional help, but 32 people had | :08:31. | :08:41. | |
their service reduced. The carers of two of those people went to | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
court to argue that the process had not been carried out properly. | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
The Isle of Wight moved from meeting the needs of every but it | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
has defied as having substantial needs to only meeting those where | :08:52. | :08:58. | |
they defined it as being able to keep them safe and that time. We | :08:58. | :09:03. | |
argued successfully that that is contrary to government guidance. | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
Today, the judge agreed with their case, saying the consultation | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
process used to inform the councillors had not been carried | :09:10. | :09:17. | |
out properly. The council says it does not want to waste any more | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
money on legal action and will go back to the previous system of | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
assessing eligibility for funding. We will read and study this lengthy | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
judgment carefully to ensure that we do the right thing, that is the | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
main aim, to do the right thing. The decision will help safeguard | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
adult social care services on the Isle of Wight and be welcomed by | :09:36. | :09:46. | |
:09:46. | :09:46. | ||
the National Autistic Society. Shoppers escaped harm in Dorchester | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
this morning after a lorry reversed into scaffolding on High West | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
Street. The metal framework became wedged to the back of the lorry, | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
blocking the road outside the Medusa apothecary shop. The mangled | :09:55. | :10:01. | |
scaffolding had to be dismantled before the road could reopen. | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
Could the rail ticket soon become redundant? Trials of the next | :10:06. | :10:13. | |
generation of train ticket got under way in Sussex today. No more | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
pieces of paper, this smartcard technology does away with all that. | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
Soon it will become the normal way to pay for public transport | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
throughout the country. Here is our transport correspondent Paul | :10:21. | :10:22. | |
Clifton. Within a year or two, calves like | :10:22. | :10:28. | |
this will be replacing all paper tickets on the railway. And, | :10:28. | :10:34. | |
outside London, this is the first. The transport minister came to mark | :10:34. | :10:40. | |
the occasion. It is different from London's Oyster card, which is must | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
-- which is much simpler. Department for Transport is | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
committed to having the majority of journeys in England usable with | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
smart card technology by the end of 2014. Brighton and Lewes were | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
chosen for the trial because there is a range of business and leisure | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
travellers, season-ticket holders and occasional passengers. In time, | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
our ticket should be the same one that you can use on local buses in | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
Brighton and Crawley so people will not have to carry lots of cards. | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
The technology that we are using is such that it can be used for a | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
number of operators in time, but it is early days and first step. | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
could mean the end of staffed ticket of this is because these | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
smart cards can be recharged at machines. Being able to ensure that | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
if you tickets do not go through the barrier, that should never | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
happen again. It should speed up the process and be a good idea. | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
with airlines, before long paper tickets will become a thing of the | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
past. Everybody will use these to buy their train tickets and their | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
bus tickets. Beyond that, these will eventually be buried with your | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
credit card inside your mobile phone. | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
Still to come in this evening's South Today, Reham has the promise | :11:56. | :12:04. | |
of better weather this weekend. It has been dull and damp as well | :12:04. | :12:13. | |
as dreary all week, but I have some This time next week, the bear will | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
be back and we will be live at the National Motor Museum at Beaulieu. | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
In the last of our films showing where your money goes, Reham Khan | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
went to Boscombe in Bournemouth to meet a fiddle orchestra who have | :12:24. | :12:34. | |
been funded by Children In Need. I am here in Boscombe, considered | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
to be a deprived and run-down area of Bournemouth, but I am here to | :12:38. | :12:43. | |
meet a group of young people who, thanks to BBC Children In Need, are | :12:43. | :12:48. | |
not causing a nuisance at all. Rather, they are making sweet music | :12:48. | :12:58. | |
:12:58. | :13:08. | ||
Music can be used as an amazing tour for supporting people. We do | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
work where the brink groups of young people together, some may be | :13:11. | :13:16. | |
from challenging services -- challenging backgrounds, some may | :13:16. | :13:21. | |
not get an opportunity to learn or take on these activities otherwise, | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
and those young people have the opportunity to work with the most | :13:25. | :13:31. | |
fantastic musicians and music leaders, primarily Jack Maguire. | :13:31. | :13:37. | |
Jack is brilliant and eccentric and crazy. He believes in every child, | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
just totally encourages them to fill their potential. Jack is quite | :13:42. | :13:52. | |
:13:52. | :13:54. | ||
I feel so proud of them, I feel very personally and lated. They are | :13:54. | :14:01. | |
great kids, you ask them to do something and they do it. The | :14:01. | :14:06. | |
achievement target is to have a go, that is it, and by opening up that, | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
the children then have confidence, and by having a go and finding they | :14:10. | :14:19. | |
achieve more than if you put pressure on them. BBC Children In | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
Need has been fantastic in providing just over �11,000 over | :14:23. | :14:27. | |
the course of three years, which enables us to plan from year to | :14:28. | :14:33. | |
year to have some security and to be ambitious with the aims and the | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
goals of the organisation and for the young people themselves to sail | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
someone has invested in them, in their journey, through the project. | :14:41. | :14:46. | |
We have had fantastic results with some of the children. One of our | :14:46. | :14:51. | |
members went on to gain a scholarship to a score, and we ran | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
a scholarship scheme as part of the orchestra so we can help | :14:55. | :15:01. | |
individuals make progress and pursue a dream. My fingers get all | :15:01. | :15:06. | |
muddled up, but the more you play it, the more used to you get. | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
has just been absolutely amazing, it has changed our lives, to be | :15:10. | :15:18. | |
honest, completely. Thank you, Children In Need! | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
Children In Need next Friday, coming around fast. | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
For this year's Children In Need, we set our reporters an Apprentice- | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
style challenge. They spent a weekend on a business task that | :15:28. | :15:38. | |
:15:38. | :15:39. | ||
stretched their skills as well as their patience, as you will see. | :15:39. | :15:44. | |
Your task is to create a purred sea bear fiend ice-cream and then sell | :15:44. | :15:52. | |
it across the South. There is a major spanner in the work. A little | :15:52. | :16:01. | |
bit of tension. It is not really ideal ice-cream weather. I am so | :16:01. | :16:11. | |
:16:11. | :16:21. | ||
nervous! That team, from day one, Two down, 498 to go. | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
I am a tough on them, I can tell you, and you will find out what | :16:25. | :16:31. | |
happens next week. What are idle sporting credentials? | :16:31. | :16:38. | |
I was a modern Kent athlete in a former life! | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
The road to Wembley begins in earnest tomorrow, and it is a | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
massive weekend for little-known AFC Totton. They are among a | :16:44. | :16:47. | |
handful of our non-League sides through to the first round of the | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
FA cup. But it is a really big deal for them as it is the first time | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
they have got this far. Andrew Giddings went to see how they are | :16:54. | :16:59. | |
shaping up. Talked to Penny AFC Totton fan | :16:59. | :17:02. | |
about a match to remember and this would feature highly, the final of | :17:02. | :17:08. | |
the FA Vase in 2007. Four years later they are about to debut in | :17:08. | :17:14. | |
the first round of the FA Cup prop up. It proves a point, and | :17:14. | :17:20. | |
hopefully we can push on. It is a winnable game. They are in the | :17:20. | :17:24. | |
Northern League, 5th position. We are at the top of the sudden | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
premiere. There has been a buzz around the ground this week but not | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
just because of their success in the Southern Premier League. | :17:32. | :17:36. | |
Tomorrow, they will play in the first track of the FA Cup, hosting | :17:36. | :17:42. | |
fellow non-League side Bradford Park Avenue. We have had reports | :17:42. | :17:45. | |
that they are a good side, so we have to give it everything we have | :17:45. | :17:50. | |
got on Saturday. Hopefully we will have a large crowd, which -- which | :17:50. | :17:55. | |
will push the lads on. I think we can do it. Their opponents may not | :17:55. | :17:58. | |
sound like the stuff dreams are made of but this is the most | :17:58. | :18:04. | |
coveted round for semi-professional side. Deep down I wanted Charlton | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
away or Sheffield United, but we have a good chance of getting to | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
the second round, which would be fantastic. We are living the dream, | :18:11. | :18:17. | |
a few lads have never been to this round, so we are just entering it. | :18:17. | :18:21. | |
The club celebrates its centenary this season so a win tomorrow would | :18:21. | :18:24. | |
make this an anniversary to remember. | :18:24. | :18:27. | |
Good luck to them. Don't forget that BBC Radio Solent | :18:27. | :18:29. | |
will have live commentary on that match, among others, on Saturday | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
from 3pm. And good luck also to Basingstoke Town, who have reached | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
the first round after an absence of five years. They are taking 150 | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
fans to Griffin Park, where they will take on League One side | :18:40. | :18:48. | |
Brentford. They have got strengths, they are a | :18:48. | :18:53. | |
few leagues Abydos, so by all intents and purposes they are | :18:53. | :19:00. | |
strong favourites -- above boss. But upsets have happened, and there | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
is no saying what could happen in the FA Cup. | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
Salisbury City are the only other non-League team through from the | :19:06. | :19:08. | |
South, they take on Arlesey Town. Elsewhere, Bournemouth host | :19:08. | :19:10. | |
Gillingham, Aldershot travel to Maidenhead and Crawley Town are at | :19:10. | :19:12. | |
Bury. In rugby, London Irish will be | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
hoping to repeat last year's strong start to their Heineken Cup | :19:15. | :19:17. | |
campaign when they welcome Edinburgh to the Madejski Stadium | :19:17. | :19:21. | |
on Saturday. They will be without England full-back Delon Armitage, | :19:21. | :19:24. | |
who was ruled out of the first two rounds earlier in the week after | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
picking up a five-week suspension for a dangerous tackle on Bath's | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
Tom Biggs. Becoming an Olympic swimmer takes | :19:31. | :19:34. | |
hours of dedication and practice. But it is ten-year-old Charlotte | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
Blake's dream, and she puts 100% in at her Brighton club in order to | :19:38. | :19:43. | |
pursue it. But she is doing it at the same time as caring for her | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
disabled mother, and her older sister, who has autism. That is why | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
she has won a national award for being Young Swimmer Of The Year. | :19:49. | :19:57. | |
John Young reports. At an age when most children are | :19:57. | :20:01. | |
watching their parents run around them, Charlotte Blake is doing | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
housework, helping with the evening meal, and helping her mother who | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
has severe problems getting about. Her older sister also needs help as | :20:08. | :20:14. | |
she has autism, and there is this, her passion. She only took it up | :20:14. | :20:19. | |
recently. Is she committed? trained five times a week, Monday | :20:19. | :20:24. | |
morning, Tuesday and Wednesday morning, Thursday evening, Friday | :20:24. | :20:29. | |
evening and Saturday morning. week, she got her reward, being | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
declared Young Swimmer Of The Year at a national ceremony. The | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
organisers arranged for their winners to mingle in the water with | :20:36. | :20:40. | |
a Olympic swimming stars. I will try to get picked for nationals and | :20:40. | :20:45. | |
if I get that I will try to see if I can swim in the Olympics. I am so | :20:45. | :20:49. | |
proud of her, life did not turn out how I expected it to, but she gets | :20:49. | :20:52. | |
me out of bed in the morning and gives me something to really focus | :20:52. | :20:57. | |
on. Charlotte clearly knows what she is focusing on once she has | :20:57. | :21:02. | |
taken care of her family, and it is all squeezed in around what most | :21:02. | :21:08. | |
ten-year-olds do most days, too. And as you settle down for your tea | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
tonight, spare a thought for two Hampshire men who are battling | :21:11. | :21:13. | |
through changing weather fronts in a race across the Atlantic. | :21:13. | :21:15. | |
Hampshire-based Alex Thomson and his partner Guillermo Altadill are | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
currently 43 miles off the lead in the Transat race. It may sound like | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
a lot, but with the wind due to veer round tonight that could all | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
change. Elsewhere, Mike Golding and Bruno Dubois, on board Gamesa, are | :21:26. | :21:34. | |
some way off the leading pair in a close battle for third. | :21:35. | :21:40. | |
Had it ever marathon on the cease. One you are talking about that, | :21:40. | :21:45. | |
another sporting story for years. We are going to return to | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
Remembrance Day and bring you pictures of one serving soldier who | :21:48. | :21:50. | |
has come up with a unique way of marking today's occasion. | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
Samantha Toop set herself the challenge of running one kilometre | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
for every British soldier who has died in Afghanistan. | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
It took her a week, and she ran 385 kilometres in all. That is 239 | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
miles for you who work in old money. And today she finished her epic | :22:04. | :22:12. | |
journey in Bournemouth. I wasn't sure that I was actually | :22:12. | :22:16. | |
able to do this, so I am really pleased I have managed to do it, | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
but I don't think there was a doubt in my mind because to fall short of | :22:20. | :22:25. | |
not honouring 385 soldiers would be horrific. They have given them | :22:25. | :22:28. | |
everything, so I have put everything in to this. | :22:28. | :22:34. | |
A lovely lady, congratulations to her. 385 kilometres is a long way, | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
brilliant. So, many, many people getting | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
involved in the Poppy Appeal in their own special ways. But how | :22:40. | :22:41. | |
have children been getting involved today? | :22:41. | :22:44. | |
In Horsham, a primary school stopped its classes so all 210 | :22:44. | :22:46. | |
pupils could attend a memorial service. And in Southampton, | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
children have been helping to fundraise for the city's brand new | :22:49. | :22:54. | |
memorial, which we saw earlier. Danielle Glavin takes up the story. | :22:55. | :23:00. | |
It is so familiar to us and past generations, but so new to these | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
children. St Mary's Primary School in Horsham stopped classes this | :23:04. | :23:11. | |
morning so that pupils could experience a memorial service. | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
I liked the trumpet a lot, it was quite cool to see the people from | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
the army. The people who fought in the war, most of them were | :23:20. | :23:26. | |
volunteers. Do you think they were very brave? Yes. Who have you come | :23:26. | :23:31. | |
to remember? The people who fought in the war. What do you think of | :23:31. | :23:36. | |
those people? I think they were quite brave. Afterwards they | :23:36. | :23:43. | |
studied apparent. We are the dead, shot days ago... -- steadied | :23:43. | :23:49. | |
apparent. Their teachers say it is important to remember the past, | :23:49. | :23:54. | |
which was echoed by people in the pop-up poppy shop in town. It is | :23:54. | :23:57. | |
important for them to see what we are doing at a mandate, it will go | :23:57. | :24:06. | |
with them for the rest of their lives. -- at a young age. | :24:06. | :24:10. | |
Southampton, pupils unveiled the city's new memorial, and it is | :24:10. | :24:14. | |
thanks to them it is here. They have to raise the money to pay the | :24:14. | :24:22. | |
bill. They were presented our country and they fought for us. -- | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
represented our play and trip. is important to remember people who | :24:26. | :24:31. | |
have given their lives for our que trip. It is very important to us | :24:31. | :24:36. | |
that they did this -- for our country. This new memorial ensures | :24:36. | :24:46. | |
:24:46. | :24:47. | ||
that the names of the fallen lid on indies Young Minds. -- live on in | :24:47. | :24:57. | |

Someone has written in to ask you, what is mild? I just think about | :24:59. | :25:05. | |
cheese! We are talking about mature weather tonight. | :25:05. | :25:08. | |
Herbie and Hazel, waiting for the sun at Hamworthy Park. Aren't we | :25:08. | :25:18. | |
:25:18. | :25:18. | ||
It has been cloudy once again and there is rain on the way spreading | :25:18. | :25:22. | |
to all parts this evening and overnight, and it will be mild and | :25:22. | :25:27. | |
cloudy, mild meaning not a cute or severe, not a cold night ahead. | :25:27. | :25:32. | |
Some heavy bursts of rain this evening and overnight but it will | :25:32. | :25:36. | |
fizzle out past midnight as it eases eastwards, behind it a legacy | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
of cloud, so grey and dull conditions for eastern fringes of | :25:40. | :25:45. | |
our patch. Temperatures by dawn, 12-13 Celsius, above average for | :25:45. | :25:50. | |
the time of year. The best chance of seeing the brightening up | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
process tomorrow morning will be in the Far West, and we should see | :25:54. | :26:00. | |
some decent spells of brightness, even some sunshine by the afternoon. | :26:00. | :26:05. | |
A high temperature of 16 Celsius in any sunshine, very mild, and a | :26:05. | :26:09. | |
lighter wind, so it will feel pleasant if you are out and about. | :26:09. | :26:13. | |
Eastern areas will struggle with the cloud and with the temperatures. | :26:13. | :26:17. | |
Into the evening, the same front travels northwards, increasing the | :26:17. | :26:24. | |
cloud and bringing the odd spot of rain, but not too much. A murky | :26:24. | :26:28. | |
start on Sunday, but the brightening up process will begin | :26:28. | :26:31. | |
fairly quickly because we had a freshening suddenly breeze which | :26:31. | :26:36. | |
will break up the cloud nicely. For Remembrance Sunday, for the parades, | :26:36. | :26:42. | |
a high of 14 Celsius and the winds, up although fresh, but in the | :26:42. | :26:47. | |
sunshine not feeling too unpleasant. On Monday, the theme changes a | :26:47. | :26:53. | |
little bit. It is not going to be as breezy as Sunday, but the | :26:53. | :26:57. | |
headache remains in predicting the cloud breaking up, so through | :26:57. | :27:01. | |
Monday I expect there will be some decent sunshine and on Tuesday I | :27:02. | :27:06. | |
think similar, cloudy at first, slowly brightening up, so the best | :27:06. | :27:11. | |
bet is for the highest temperatures on Saturday, brighter on Sunday, | :27:11. | :27:20. | |
settled but cooler by the beginning If you are a fan of local history, | :27:20. | :27:23. | |
make sure you join Bruce Parker for a brand new series starting this | :27:23. | :27:26. | |
weekend on BBC Radio Solent. From aviation to brewing, cruise liners | :27:26. | :27:28. | |
to railways, Bruce will be celebrating the rich history of | :27:28. | :27:31. | |
