Thousands of sailors at hundreds of clubs around

:00:07.:00:11.

the globe have been taking part in a world record attempt in memory

:00:12.:00:14.

The Olympic gold medallist from Sherborne died

:00:15.:00:20.

during an America's Cup trahning accident in May last year.

:00:21.:00:23.

Today his four`year`old son Freddie was among more than 13,000 people

:00:24.:00:28.

taking part in what's hoped will be the largest sailing race evdr.

:00:29.:00:32.

He joined others out on the water off Portland, frol where

:00:33.:00:35.

His father always wanted his success out on the water to inspire others.

:00:36.:00:48.

Andrew Simpson might not be here any more but he's still having ` major

:00:49.:00:52.

influence, not least on his young son. Keep it simple, stupid. Case.

:00:53.:01:02.

For his Olympic sailing partner it is his first time he has returned to

:01:03.:01:06.

Portland since the games. And the boat where he and his friends spent

:01:07.:01:09.

so many hours in the years before Bart, as he was known, was killed

:01:10.:01:14.

training. How does it feel hn the boat? Weirdly familiar but totally

:01:15.:01:21.

different, different in lots of ways, mainly not having Bart

:01:22.:01:26.

alongside me. Is this a new sailor alongside me? If he has half of his

:01:27.:01:30.

dad's jeans, he will be a great sailor. This is it, the racd is

:01:31.:01:36.

under way. There are also r`ces in Payton, Plymouth, Penzance `nd other

:01:37.:01:40.

places in the south`west, not to mention at different clubs `round

:01:41.:01:46.

the world. It's hard to think of a sailing community that isn't taking

:01:47.:01:51.

part. Loads of children are starting to find sailing more fun. I think it

:01:52.:01:56.

is because the Olympics took place here, and a load of famous sailors

:01:57.:02:01.

came here. It has reintroduced it. Like Bart. It is hoped this event

:02:02.:02:09.

will help that legacy to continue and the next generation is `lready

:02:10.:02:14.

taking to the water. At the age of just four.

:02:15.:02:19.

Some people who send their children to a specialist unit near Plymouth

:02:20.:02:22.

say they're angry it isn't fully re`opening, forcing them to continue

:02:23.:02:25.

The respite centre and children's home at Dame Hannah

:02:26.:02:28.

Rogers School in Ivybridge was closed for more than six wedks

:02:29.:02:30.

On Friday the school issued a statement saying it will reopen

:02:31.:02:36.

But the mother of 21`year`old Kieran, who has cerebral palsy

:02:37.:02:41.

and complex needs, hasn't bden told when he can return.

:02:42.:02:50.

I can't believe we still haven't been told anything. I'd havd thought

:02:51.:02:57.

they would have found us or send us a letter to say this is what is

:02:58.:03:01.

happening. You know, young `dults might goes `` might go up that at

:03:02.:03:08.

such and such a date but nothing. I am even more angry now than I was

:03:09.:03:10.

The BBC has helped to solve the mystery of a suspicious looking

:03:11.:03:13.

plant growing wild in the g`rden of an East Devon seaside town.

:03:14.:03:16.

The owners of the property, in Exmouth, had a hunch what it might

:03:17.:03:19.

Today they were paid a visit by BBC Radio Devon's gardening guru

:03:20.:03:23.

Well, I haven't seen one growing, I've seen photographs

:03:24.:03:37.

No one was more surprised than Patricia Hewitson when this mystery

:03:38.:03:40.

She got straight in touch with the BBC phond

:03:41.:03:44.

I don't think we've had anyone who's come on.

:03:45.:03:52.

Well, it may have happened in the past

:03:53.:03:54.

but no one has owned up to ht, but it is a first for the potting shed.

:03:55.:03:58.

I sent a picture of it to S`rah and Pippa by e`mail.

:03:59.:04:01.

And got a couple of interesting e`mails back,

:04:02.:04:04.

including one from the police who said they wouldn't prosecutd me

:04:05.:04:07.

Patricia's husband John was charged with its removal.

:04:08.:04:22.

I think the seed of this probably came from

:04:23.:04:27.

the bird feeder which hangs just above, outside their front door

:04:28.:04:29.

So I think the seed probaly came from there.

:04:30.:04:32.

It's quite common for bird seed to actually contain

:04:33.:04:34.

a huge variety of plant seed, and cannabis has been known to come up.

:04:35.:04:39.

Illegal to grow without a lhcence, the cannabis plant had to go.

:04:40.:04:43.

We've been told we have to cut it up and either compost it or take it to

:04:44.:04:47.

the police station, or even take it up to the local recycling cdntre.

:04:48.:04:53.

Anyone else finding a plant that looks like this on

:04:54.:04:55.

Some more lovely weather today, when will it end?

:04:56.:05:04.

Good evening. Temperatures will drop fairly quickly through this evening

:05:05.:05:16.

as our sunshine gives way to a starry night. A lot of kebab spells

:05:17.:05:21.

around, a touch of mist and fog the odd shower in the Channel Islands,

:05:22.:05:26.

but generally dry. Sunspots getting lower than this, leading to some

:05:27.:05:31.

frost out in the countrysidd. A cold start to the day tomorrow, `ny mist

:05:32.:05:35.

clearing quickly and then it should be another lovely day with lots of

:05:36.:05:39.

sunshine coming through, just a little bit more cloud bubblhng up in

:05:40.:05:45.

the afternoon, and feeling pleasant. On Tuesday and Wednesday, it looks

:05:46.:05:50.

similar with sunny spells around. We see the cloud thickening later in

:05:51.:05:54.

the week. That is all from le, have a lovely evening.

:05:55.:05:58.

That is all for now, we are back at 10:20pm.

:05:59.:06:08.

Good evening. After a fine day, a fine night in prospect. And with

:06:09.:06:16.

clearing skies, a chilly night at that. The satellite tells the story,

:06:17.:06:20.

how cloud has built during the course of the day. Particularly on

:06:21.:06:25.

into the afternoon. But we run the sequence and you can see it thinning

:06:26.:06:29.

and breaking and it is those clearing skies that will through the

:06:30.:06:33.

evening, but particularly in the small hours allow

:06:34.:06:35.
