Hello, I'm Sally Taylor. Welcome to South Today. In tonight's | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
programme: Protecting our shores - putting the | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
final touches to security arrangements for the Olympic | :00:17. | :00:23. | |
sailing. Providing the golden hour - why the | :00:23. | :00:32. | |
Hampshire Chinooks are vital on the front line. If you only had a very | :00:32. | :00:37. | |
small pool of money and you wanted to get the maximum bang for Buck, | :00:37. | :00:42. | |
you would have to spend on Chinooks. Carving their memory in stone - | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
remembering the US servicemen who lost their lives in Berkshire. | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
And they think it's all over - well it was after this. Find out why the | :00:49. | :00:59. | |
:00:59. | :01:02. | ||
Germans were able to score before Dorset Police and the Royal Navy | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
have revealed some details of the security operation that will take | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
place to protect Weymouth and Portland from any terror threat | :01:08. | :01:14. | |
during the Olympic sailing events. HMS Bulwark, the Navy's flagship, | :01:15. | :01:21. | |
will be based off the Dorset coast for the duration of the games. | :01:21. | :01:31. | |
Today, our Home Affairs Correspondent was on board. | :01:31. | :01:36. | |
They are part of Britain's Olympic ring of steel. In the air and on | :01:36. | :01:42. | |
the sea, more than 1000 military personnel will support Dorset | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
police military operation -- security operation. At the centre, | :01:47. | :01:54. | |
a floating fortress. A highly visible deterrent and the | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
operational command centre for military and police. The capability | :01:58. | :02:05. | |
that we have, which makes us so suitable, is that we have extensive | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
command and control facilities. Probably the best that the UK has | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
and world-beating. We also have an ability to launch large numbers of | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
Royal Marine is either by letter and -- land or helicopters. They | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
have been to wait -- training for 12 months. The police and military | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
are working together to keep 50 square miles of sea safe. For | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
Dorset police it is a challenge, S65 their operation, the biggest | :02:34. | :02:40. | |
they have undertaken. As well as military support, they are relying | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
on 27 other police marine units to respond to any other threat. How | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
realistic is the prospect of a terrorist attack? In terms of | :02:50. | :02:56. | |
probability it is a low end. But it is expected to have contingencies | :02:56. | :03:02. | |
to prevent it as far as possible. Despite intense security operations, | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
police and military are determined not to overshadow the event itself. | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
This is a sporting event around which we are providing security as | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
opposed to a floating security event. We have to make sure it | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
disproportionate. So, while the sailing takes the spotlight, they | :03:22. | :03:29. | |
will remain in the background ready to respond if the worst happens. | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
We saw there the vital job helicopters could have for security | :03:31. | :03:37. | |
for the Olympics. But, of course, there's a vital ongoing role for | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
the Hampshire-based Chinooks, which are in Afghanistan. The crews from | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
RAF Odiham pick up the troops who are most seriously wounded. And | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
their commitment is to bring soldiers the golden hour - the best | :03:48. | :03:58. | |
:03:58. | :04:00. | ||
chance of saving a life. Alastair Fee has been to see them in action. | :04:00. | :04:06. | |
In Afghanistan, the Chinooks is like a flying ambulance. On his | :04:06. | :04:13. | |
back. Lots of bleeding. Its group pick-up the most severely wounded. | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
Each of these cabins make of the team that response to a medical | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
emergency. We have the Chinooks cruise down the end and medics | :04:21. | :04:27. | |
based here. At the end is the RAF Regiment, one group on standby for | :04:27. | :04:34. | |
24 hours and in the air in minutes. Double word, 10. Not very exciting. | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
We are pretty much contain to this room because the phone is on the | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
side and when we get to shout, that is how they get in touch. There is | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
a wind here across the chest. Patient is screaming and in pain. | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
The medic showed me how they treat the wounded. Once, sometimes twice | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
a day they are called to the battlefield. You try to detach | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
yourself from it because if you get too emotionally involved it will | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
start to effective more than it can do. And you just need to think, | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
that is that job done, we have done the best we can and we drop them | :05:10. | :05:16. | |
off at the hospital and then on to somebody else's hands to deal with. | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
These helicopters are prized above all others for their power, speed | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
and ability to carry more than 50 trips at a time. While budgets have | :05:24. | :05:30. | |
been squeezed, there is still money for 14 Newt Chinooks. If you only | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
had a very small pool of money and you wanted to get the maximum bang | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
for but, you would have to spend it on Chinooks. It is effectively the | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
promissory note that we provide to troops on the ground. If you go on | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
the ground, you can do whatever you have to do under the knowledge that | :05:47. | :05:53. | |
if something happens, we will bring the Golden hour to you. The Chinook | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
has been here since the start of combat and will be here until the | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
end with the medics flying with them. | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
We will have more from Alistair in Afghanistan tomorrow night because | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
we see how local troops are involved in the changing role in | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
Afghanistan, moving from fighting insurgents to the reconstruction of | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
the country. Allegations of historic child sex | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
abuse, an unprecedented apology and an inquiry launched by the | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
Archbishop of Canterbury - it's been a turbulent time recently for | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
the Diocese of Chichester. Today, Dr Martin Warner was named as the | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
new Bishop. He's pledged to continue the work to repair the | :06:27. | :06:35. | |
reputation of the church. Danielle Glavin has been to meet him. Every | :06:35. | :06:41. | |
human being must not only feel safe, but be safe. In his speech today, | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
Dr Martin Waller said he was aware of the pain and distress of those | :06:44. | :06:51. | |
who had been abused. In 1966, child abuser at Roy Cotton was ordained | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
in the diocese. During the following decades it is thought he | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
abused 10 boys. Last year, the Archbishop of Canterbury launched | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
an investigation into child protection failings in the diocese. | :07:04. | :07:10. | |
How will the new Bishop repair the reputation? Obviously Battista work | :07:10. | :07:16. | |
in progress and until I am in post there is a lot I cannot do. But | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
what I do see, looking in from outside, is that a lot of work has | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
been done over a long period of time to ensure that the very best | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
safeguards are in place in terms of policy. And to ensure that the | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
implementation of policies is rigorous. Dr Worner told me there | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
is a lot of good work being done in the diocese. When he takes up the | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
post, the keen cyclist will take to his car to meet people across | :07:43. | :07:49. | |
Sussex. I want to spend a good amount of time listening. Listening | :07:49. | :07:55. | |
to experience of life in Sussex, of their faith and experience of God | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
and also, learning from them and building relationships of trust | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
which will enable us to work together in future. The new bishop | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
has been serving in York. He is a traditionalist but says that all | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
will be welcome. The diocese has had difficult questions to answer | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
and the reputation has been tarnished, but it is hoped the | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
arrival of the new bishop will herald a new beginning. Dr Warner | :08:21. | :08:26. | |
says he wants everyone to feel safe at the church. | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
Elections are taking place at various local councils across our | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
region today. Polling stations opened at 7am this morning. About | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
half of voters in the south have received a polling card. Voting | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
closes at 10 o'clock tonight. And you can catch up with all the | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
local election results from the south in a special programme on BBC | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
One from 11:35pm tonight. Your BBC local radio station will also have | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
coverage. And, of course, we'll have a full round up of the results | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
tomorrow from our breakfast bulletins onwards. | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
Police in Sussex, searching for a missing 96-year-old woman, say | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
they've received more than 70 calls with information from the public. | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
Nellie Herriott has been missing from Whitehawk in Brighton for nine | :09:02. | :09:08. | |
days. Officers believe she may have got on a bus and travelled out of | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
Brighton. Detectives investigating an armed | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
robbery in Aldershot last year say an appeal on BBC Crimewatch has led | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
to new information. In October, a man with a gun stole cash from a | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
scrap metal dealer on the Stubbs Industrial estate. Hampshire Police | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
received several calls following the broadcast on Tuesday night. | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
Officers are still trying to find a red metal cash box that may have | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
been discarded in the area. The developer behind a multi- | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
million pound landmark on the Sussex coast has today welcomed | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
news a local council might help pay for it. Last night we told you | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
Brighton and Hove City Council was considering lending �14m to help | :09:46. | :09:53. | |
build the i360 observation tower. The project has been stalled | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
because the developer, who designed the London Eye, couldn't find the | :09:55. | :10:05. | |
:10:05. | :10:06. | ||
full �35m for the i360. Mark Sanders has more. | :10:06. | :10:12. | |
It is hard to reach for the skies if you do not have the money. The | :10:12. | :10:14. | |
i360 has only soared in the imagination because funding has not | :10:14. | :10:20. | |
been secured from private investors, but now Brighton and Hove city | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
council is thinking about putting millions into the tower. | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
construction team is in place, we are ready to start and I think we | :10:28. | :10:33. | |
will be able to start within a few months of the funding being agreed. | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
We have got a two-year construction programme and we are all wearing to | :10:38. | :10:45. | |
go. The i360 would rise over the West Pier. It would be 175 metres | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
tall and it would carry a part of passengers to new heights. The | :10:50. | :10:55. | |
project was approved more than five years ago, but the developer | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
struggled to raise the money and has got around half of the �35 | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
million for the project. Now the council is looking to help fill the | :11:04. | :11:09. | |
hole in the finances with a secured loan of �40 million. A government | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
fund is also prepared to lend �3 million to get the scheme of the | :11:13. | :11:19. | |
ground. We will borrow the money and then lend out to the i360 team. | :11:19. | :11:24. | |
The interest difference there will probably give us, we estimate, | :11:24. | :11:29. | |
half-a-million pounds per year. There also be increased business | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
rates that will come back to the council and we will take 1% of | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
ticket revenue. The council says there will be big benefits to the | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
City of the tower is built. More visitors, jobs and money for the | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
local economy. The council claims this is low risk and argues it is a | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
bad business and regeneration and not an act of charity. A final | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
decision is expected in July. Work's progressing on plans to | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
generate tidal energy in Poole Harbour. The town's Tidal Energy | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
Partnership has secured �20,000 to investigate the possibilities. | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
They're going to make a film with Bournemouth University to explain | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
the opportunities. Still to come in this evening's | :12:07. | :12:16. | |
South Today: In fine voice - new verses for the National Anthem, | :12:16. | :12:24. | |
penned by a Dorset musician for the Jubilee. | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
Greenham Common, in Newbury, is probably best known for the women's | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
peace camp in the 1980s. But long before the cruise missiles were | :12:31. | :12:36. | |
moved in, the area had been a major US air force base. Thousands of | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
American troops were stationed there in the run-up to D-Day. Just | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
a few months before the war ended nearly 50 men lost their lives in | :12:43. | :12:48. | |
two horrific air crashes above the base. Now, Newbury's Royal British | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
Legion and the Greenham Common Trust have raised enough money to | :12:51. | :13:01. | |
:13:01. | :13:02. | ||
have a new stone memorial carved by hand. Chrissy Sturt reports. | :13:02. | :13:08. | |
Every year, relatives of the American airmen based here in World | :13:08. | :13:13. | |
War to cross the Atlantic. The men lost their lives into tragic | :13:13. | :13:18. | |
accidents. Just six months before the war | :13:18. | :13:24. | |
ended, 33 m men died in a glider like this one. The road was | :13:24. | :13:29. | |
released, the glider went straight down, no one knows why. Just three | :13:29. | :13:39. | |
Two B-17 bombers collided above Greenham Common, 16 american crew | :13:39. | :13:44. | |
died. Now painstaking work is underway in this Newbury workshop | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
to create a fitting tribute to the men. For Joss, one of the few | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
masons in the country still hand carving, it's an honour to be | :13:52. | :13:58. | |
involved. It just feels fantastic to be able to be part of it. | :13:58. | :14:06. | |
Basically I love anything to do with history. Anything I can give, | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
any of my skills I can give to the public is a thing... It's a | :14:10. | :14:16. | |
passionate thing, its heartfelt and I enjoy doing it. "I'm doing this | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
for something, I'm doing this for a group of people who really fought | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
for this country and you know they deserve the best they can get for | :14:23. | :14:33. | |
:14:33. | :14:38. | ||
You have to be patient and precise? Yes. Joss is working to a design | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
was created by another local artist. Did you feel quite a | :14:41. | :14:47. | |
responsibility? I did, yes. Needed to get this right. You just want it | :14:47. | :14:55. | |
to work for all the parties concerned. Dean and common the air | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
base is now a busy and thriving business park but the story of the | :14:59. | :15:09. | |
:15:09. | :15:10. | ||
men has not been forgotten. The memorial will be placed here and | :15:10. | :15:17. | |
opened by a member of the royal family later in the year. The bands | :15:17. | :15:20. | |
that will be performing at the Olympic torch relay evening events | :15:20. | :15:30. | |
:15:30. | :15:30. | ||
this summer have been announced. Young Guns will play to crowds in | :15:30. | :15:40. | |
Oxford and Reading on July 9th and 10th. Wretch Three-Two will perform | :15:40. | :15:42. | |
over the following days in Salisbury, Weymouth, Bournemouth | :15:42. | :15:52. | |
:15:52. | :15:52. | ||
and Southampton. Before Rizzle Kicks takes up the baton to play in | :15:52. | :15:58. | |
Portsmouth, Brighton and Guildford. Details of how to get tickets are | :15:58. | :16:08. | |
:16:08. | :16:14. | ||
yet to be announced. You will be first in the queue? Yeah, I would | :16:14. | :16:20. | |
like that. We have been learning a lot in the newsroom this afternoon. | :16:20. | :16:30. | |
:16:30. | :16:33. | ||
They are born performers. There is a lot happening tonight. Dorset- | :16:33. | :16:36. | |
based event rider William Fox-Pitt could still win the richest prize | :16:36. | :16:38. | |
in the sport, despite the cancellation of the Badminton Horse | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
Trials, which were due to start tomorrow. The world number one, who | :16:41. | :16:45. | |
is expected to form part of Team GB at the London Olympics, will pocket | :16:45. | :16:47. | |
just under �220,000 if he wins three consecutive titles within the | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
Rolex Grand Slam series. He won at Burghley last September, and in | :16:50. | :16:54. | |
Kentucky last week. But his potential windfall has been put on | :16:54. | :16:58. | |
ice. Organisers have confirmed that the prize will roll over to next | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
year's Badminton Horse Trials in 2013. It's Olympic Thursday and | :17:02. | :17:04. | |
tonight we're featuring the European Tae Kwon Do champion, | :17:04. | :17:08. | |
Aaron Cook from Dorset. He's defending his title in Manchester | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
this week, although just a year ago a disastrous performance in the | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
world championships put his Olympic dreams in doubt. He took a drastic | :17:15. | :17:25. | |
:17:25. | :17:26. | ||
decision. And it seems to have paid off. He has been destined for the | :17:26. | :17:31. | |
top since he was a child. We featured him as a seven-year-old in | :17:31. | :17:40. | |
1998 when he was winning silverware then. I practised very often. | :17:40. | :17:48. | |
has it always been an easy ride for the athlete? Four years ago he | :17:48. | :17:54. | |
missed out on a medal at the Beijing Games. I did not think the | :17:54. | :17:59. | |
judging would be so bad. I could not believe it. What did I have to | :17:59. | :18:06. | |
do to score points? And then last year he crashed out of the world | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
championships in the last round. He left the GB performance programme | :18:10. | :18:15. | |
and became self funding with the help of his parents. Two weeks | :18:15. | :18:21. | |
later I had another competition, I trained harder than ever, I wanted | :18:21. | :18:25. | |
to do it right. I have now been fighting all around the world, | :18:25. | :18:29. | |
training with some of the best people and trying to get my | :18:29. | :18:35. | |
abilities up. He trains full time in Manchester but still has some | :18:35. | :18:40. | |
noticeable support from back home. My grandmother lives down there and | :18:40. | :18:45. | |
she keeps will be newspaper cuttings. They are really | :18:45. | :18:53. | |
supportive down there. A gold medal in London would be a front page | :18:53. | :19:00. | |
headline worth keeping. We wish him good luck and we will follow his | :19:00. | :19:05. | |
progress in the build up to the Games this summer. There was no | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
play on day two of Hampshire's county championship match against | :19:08. | :19:10. | |
Northants. Meanwhile, Sussex's Pro Biz county ground played host to | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
the touring West Indians today. But as you can see the weather | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
prevented them taking to the middle for nets. The Windies are here for | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
a three test series starting later this month. They'll begin the tour | :19:19. | :19:22. | |
this weekend with a three day game against Sussex. Sussex confirmed | :19:22. | :19:25. | |
today that England players Matt Prior and Monty Panesar will play | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
in the match. Remember the famous Barry Davies commentary line, where | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
were the Germans? Well it was a case of where were the Great | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
Britain team at last night's olympic test event after a late | :19:36. | :19:41. | |
return to the field of play saw the second half start without them. The | :19:41. | :19:43. | |
Germans capitalised on the opportunity, waltzing down the | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
pitch to score while many of the GB players were still coming out of | :19:47. | :19:57. | |
:19:57. | :20:00. | ||
the tunnel. The game had been goalless until that point, but | :20:00. | :20:10. | |
:20:10. | :20:10. | ||
Germany went on to win 3-1. officials are using this event to | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
set a marker down of what they would expect. Our changing rooms | :20:14. | :20:19. | |
were a little bit further than what we would expect. This happened in | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
the Australian match but they waited for their opponents to turn | :20:23. | :20:30. | |
up whereas the Germans were not so charitable. Well seeing it is a | :20:30. | :20:36. | |
test event. That cannot happen this summer! They said the dressing room | :20:36. | :20:42. | |
was a bit far away. That is the sort of thing you learn in test | :20:42. | :20:50. | |
events. A klaxon goes and the have to be on the pitch? That right and | :20:50. | :21:00. | |
:21:00. | :21:03. | ||
the clock just starts come -- that just how it happens. Unfortunately | :21:03. | :21:09. | |
they lost that one. Great Britain's women beat China 3-0 earlier. The | :21:09. | :21:19. | |
:21:19. | :21:22. | ||
men are playing India at the moment. Now we shall go straight on to the | :21:23. | :21:27. | |
weather. For the bank holiday weekend it is not looking too bad | :21:27. | :21:32. | |
at all. There is a potential for some rain on the south coast but | :21:32. | :21:38. | |
all in all it should be pretty good. Now we have some whether or | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
pictures from today. An ornamental heron under an umbrella in John | :21:42. | :21:44. | |
Horne's garden in Bishopstoke. Brian Harris took this photo of the | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
low lying cloud over Ventnor on the Isle of Wight. And Ray Passmore | :21:48. | :21:56. | |
captured the watery woodlands on Studland. There were a few showers | :21:56. | :22:02. | |
dotted around today. It will feel a lot cooler with an northerly wind | :22:02. | :22:11. | |
coming in from deep Atlantic. There will be some sunny spells, most | :22:11. | :22:20. | |
likely on Sunday and Monday. That cloud and showers will linger for a | :22:20. | :22:26. | |
while. A few showers will be dotted around elsewhere. And TriStar for | :22:26. | :22:31. | |
some tomorrow but still a few showers around. These are more | :22:31. | :22:37. | |
likely further north. The weather front will die away southwards | :22:37. | :22:42. | |
across the country. The south coast will see sunny spells. Inland there | :22:42. | :22:49. | |
will be some patches of sunshine. Winds will be light. Tomorrow night | :22:49. | :22:53. | |
the fragmenting weather front will slip its way southwards | :22:53. | :23:02. | |
reinvigorating for parts of the south coast some showers. Overnight | :23:02. | :23:07. | |
temperatures are starting to drop. The weather front could sit across | :23:07. | :23:12. | |
the south coast first thing on Saturday but that is then expected | :23:12. | :23:19. | |
to sink southwards and we will see sunshine on Saturday afternoon. It | :23:19. | :23:23. | |
will feel cooler over the weekend. A widespread frost developing on | :23:23. | :23:33. | |
:23:33. | :23:34. | ||
Saturday night. Into minus figures. On Sunday there will be lots of | :23:34. | :23:39. | |
sunshine on offer and the able and minds of cloud but staying | :23:39. | :23:46. | |
predominantly dry. Monday is looking pretty good as well. A good | :23:46. | :23:55. | |
deal of brightness and sunshine and remaining mostly dry. Thank you | :23:55. | :24:00. | |
very much. A musician from Dorset has written two new verses of the | :24:00. | :24:03. | |
national anthem to celebrate the Queen's diamond jubilee. Roger | :24:03. | :24:06. | |
Brookes from Poole had never written a song before but he wanted | :24:06. | :24:10. | |
to express how he felt about the Queen. Last night it was performed | :24:10. | :24:13. | |
for the first time by the voice community choir in Bournemouth, and | :24:13. | :24:23. | |
:24:23. | :24:27. | ||
we were there. Tom Hepworth has this. Many of us are hoping to hear | :24:27. | :24:37. | |
:24:37. | :24:37. | ||
a lot more of this over the summer. NATIONAL ANTHEM. Our athletes are | :24:37. | :24:43. | |
usually only treated to the first verse of the national anthem but a | :24:44. | :24:51. | |
local composer has added two more verses. I thought most people do | :24:52. | :24:58. | |
not know beyond the first verse and often end up humming to the rest of | :24:58. | :25:04. | |
it. I thought the Queen has done a marvellous job and nobody seems to | :25:04. | :25:04. | |
marvellous job and nobody seems to marvellous job and nobody seems to | :25:04. | :25:14. | |
:25:14. | :25:44. | ||
Bet is a pillar of our national life but how many of us are no all | :25:44. | :25:48. | |
the words or even some of them? We the words or even some of them? We | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
asked people in Bourne mouth to sing it for us. I probably know the | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
first verse but I am not going to sing it for you. I know the first | :25:57. | :26:05. | |
verse but I am not going to sing it. I cannot sing to save my life. | :26:05. | :26:10. | |
national anthem has changed over the years. Fusing the verse about | :26:10. | :26:20. | |
:26:20. | :26:22. | ||
crashing rebellious Scots these days. -- FE you saying the verse. | :26:22. | :26:27. | |
sent my suggestions off to Her Majesty and received thanks back | :26:27. | :26:34. | |
which I took to be the green light. It is not the first time a composer | :26:34. | :26:40. | |
from our region has written a national anthem. This man brought | :26:40. | :26:50. | |
:26:50. | :27:01. | ||
And don't forget we have a special programme helping to celebrate the | :27:01. | :27:05. | |
Queen's Diamond Jubilee this Sunday. We have behind-the-scenes action of | :27:05. | :27:08. | |
how Salisbury and Sherborne prepared to meet the Queen when she | :27:08. | :27:12. | |
visited earlier this week. The programme is called The Queen And I, | :27:12. | :27:16. | |
it's on BBC One this Sunday at 4.15, and features people in the south | :27:16. | :27:26. | |
:27:26. | :27:26. | ||
who've met Her Majesty during her reign. Now I just want to tell you | :27:26. | :27:31. | |
about something happening tomorrow night. We have got a special | :27:31. | :27:36. |
