:00:17. > :00:23.Evening all. Welcome to The One Show with Angela Scanlon. And Matt Baker.
:00:24. > :00:29.Joining us tonight an actor born and bred in the East End and who started
:00:30. > :00:33.in classicing like Nil By Mouth and Sexy Beast and Indiana Jones and the
:00:34. > :00:42.departed. Some say he is a geezer. We think he's the daddy. It's Ray
:00:43. > :00:46.Winstone. # I've got you
:00:47. > :00:55.# Deep in the heart of me... # Good to see you. Lovely to see you.
:00:56. > :01:01.We have played this for you. It is my song. Don't start me off. We
:01:02. > :01:07.could have got you a microphone. I haven't got a drink. Is that your
:01:08. > :01:15.karaoke song? Yes, I have been singing it for years UK I nearly
:01:16. > :01:20.sing it as Frank Sinatra. On special occasion: You can't say that now.
:01:21. > :01:25.Let me switch off. That is you in a good mood and out. Your wife says
:01:26. > :01:29.when you walk into a room you look like you are going to kill someone.
:01:30. > :01:33.I don't mean to. I think it is lack of confidence sometimes. You kind of
:01:34. > :01:37.put your chest out and you walk, walk in the room full of people,
:01:38. > :01:45.and, it just makes you feel like you should be there, but, I don't mean
:01:46. > :01:51.it. You know. Know. She says I look like I want to kill someone. We will
:01:52. > :01:56.talk to Ray later on, all about his latest film, which is called
:01:57. > :02:00.Jawbone, we loved it and it sees your return to your boxing roots,
:02:01. > :02:04.which we will talk about in a while. The big news is that the Duke of
:02:05. > :02:08.Edinburgh is retiring from public engagements this autumn. So we want
:02:09. > :02:14.to hear from you if you have ever met Prince Philip. What was it? What
:02:15. > :02:18.did he say, what did you say to him? Send us your pictures and we will
:02:19. > :02:21.see as many as we can later. To our first film tonight, it is about the
:02:22. > :02:26.pressures of parenting. In particular, being a dad. Dad. Kevin
:02:27. > :02:31.has been to meet a bunch of men helping each other to talk about the
:02:32. > :02:35.challenges they face. How many kids are you got? Here in
:02:36. > :02:40.Rochdale, a group of dads are out on the streets reaching out to other
:02:41. > :02:52.fathers. Are you a dad? Yes. How old? 15, 12 and six. Trouble ages.
:02:53. > :02:56.Getting you mad. They want to persuade dads who might not consider
:02:57. > :03:02.joining parenting groups to join them. It is run by local dads, for
:03:03. > :03:09.local dads, sharing knowledge. Experiences, I. I'm a first time
:03:10. > :03:13.dad. Your routine is 24/7, your chiern, you lose your identity and
:03:14. > :03:17.then you can get where you don't want to go out.
:03:18. > :03:21.As a father myself, I know how rewarding fatherhood can be, but I
:03:22. > :03:25.also know it can be a challenge sometimes, and for dads who are
:03:26. > :03:29.going through tough times help isn't always to hand but a group of guys
:03:30. > :03:34.from Salford say they are come up with a way for fathers to support
:03:35. > :03:37.each other. Steve, Alex and Antony have 11 kids between them and they
:03:38. > :03:42.have all had difficulties to overcome. So three years ago, with
:03:43. > :03:49.the backing of the NHS, they helped start a dads group in Salford called
:03:50. > :03:55.Dadly Does It I have been in scenes of drugs misuse and what have you,
:03:56. > :04:00.I've gone through having depression, my struggle was I couldn't bond with
:04:01. > :04:04.my kids, through opening up to the guys, I managed to take that fear
:04:05. > :04:10.away. I didn't really go out the house much. I didn't socialise,
:04:11. > :04:14.struggle taking my kids to the park, just talking to somebody, that who
:04:15. > :04:21.has been there, got the T-shirt and can relate to how you feel, makes a
:04:22. > :04:25.massive difference. Alex, how important is that support?
:04:26. > :04:30.Massively. My son, he said I want to be like you, the first time he said
:04:31. > :04:34.it almost brought me to tears, the fact I have gone from sitting in the
:04:35. > :04:40.house for my son wanting to be like me and there is no greater feeling.
:04:41. > :04:44.Both Salford and Rochdale with the scene is running are in the top ten
:04:45. > :04:49.most deprived areas in England and it is estimated a quarter of the
:04:50. > :04:58.children are living in poverty. Making this project even more
:04:59. > :05:02.important. Heather is a project manager as Unlimited Potential If
:05:03. > :05:07.you expect fathers come to you you will wait a long time for those ones
:05:08. > :05:12.that are hard to reach, the impact on the fathers that have been
:05:13. > :05:17.closely involved, is life-changing. Today, the men are hoping to recruit
:05:18. > :05:20.more dads to join the Rochdale group before extending the scheme out
:05:21. > :05:24.across Greater Manchester. I was wondering what you are about really.
:05:25. > :05:31.One of those looking to find out more is father of two teenage girls,
:05:32. > :05:35.Rob Ronnie. We have dads of all ages with all ages of kids, a dad that
:05:36. > :05:40.hasser kids has a wealth of knowledge. It is your experience,
:05:41. > :05:47.the experience putting together, combination, you help each other.
:05:48. > :05:51.Men don't tend to have very large social network, when they are
:05:52. > :05:56.feeling down they don't have many people they can go to. What we are
:05:57. > :06:00.trying to do is to build that environment, where dads can support
:06:01. > :06:04.overs. You have that knowledge, you can share that with them, and help
:06:05. > :06:09.maybe make their lives just that bit easier. Sounds good.
:06:10. > :06:13.To give Ronnie a taste of what he can expect from signing up, he has
:06:14. > :06:18.agreed to join some of the dads on one of the most popular activities
:06:19. > :06:23.run by the group, a family bike ride, for dads and their kids. The
:06:24. > :06:30.first one to the tree is the winner, after three, one... Two, three. One
:06:31. > :06:35.of the men riding with Ronnie is father of three James, who thinks
:06:36. > :06:39.the change of scenery helps the dads open up to each other. It is not
:06:40. > :06:43.your normal sort of thing where you are sat round in a school hall or
:06:44. > :06:48.whatever, it is out and about, in the real world and the kids love it,
:06:49. > :06:51.and the dads love it. And the ride is a hit with the
:06:52. > :06:55.children too. Ethan, what do you think about cycling round with your
:06:56. > :07:01.dad? It is good to get some fresh air. Is it something you look
:07:02. > :07:06.forward to? Yes. Since your dads have joins, you are getting lots of
:07:07. > :07:11.fresh air, you get exercise and you spend time with your dad. We go out
:07:12. > :07:17.more. As we reach the end of testify ride what has Ronnie made of it all?
:07:18. > :07:20.Met new people, getting out, fresh air, all good, you can't go wrong
:07:21. > :07:30.with it. So the dads have done it for you? Definitely. I am more of a
:07:31. > :07:34.dad. That is lovely. Ray, you are a dad of three girls, did your mates
:07:35. > :07:40.tap you up for any advice ahead of fatherhood? Yes, what do you say, I
:07:41. > :07:44.got three daters and each one you think you are going to do it better
:07:45. > :07:51.on the second one, but you kind of get it wrong, it is part of it, you
:07:52. > :07:54.know, but watching that film there, is, I wasn't in that position, you
:07:55. > :07:58.know, and I don't know what the answer is that. They are doing
:07:59. > :08:02.something about it. But as we were saying, it is about industry, you
:08:03. > :08:06.know, work and pride in yourself. If you have the chance to go to work,
:08:07. > :08:10.do that. I guess, it is getting up in the morning, you have to have a
:08:11. > :08:15.reason to get up in the morning. And go to work, and it can affect you in
:08:16. > :08:23.different way, I was very lucky, I have a job. And let us move on to
:08:24. > :08:27.this, your new film, there are some similarities really. Father figures
:08:28. > :08:32.and camaraderie and it is set in the world of boxing, you were a trainer,
:08:33. > :08:37.how do you sum it up? There is a lot of messages in there. For me, it is
:08:38. > :08:41.funny, because I approach the film in a different way than Johnny did.
:08:42. > :08:46.I play men I respect and Johnny respected as well. The guys who give
:08:47. > :08:50.up their time to look after kids who come from a deprived area. In a lot
:08:51. > :08:54.of cases, whether it is Manchester, Liverpool, Coventry. It doesn't
:08:55. > :09:00.matter, whether you're a boxer or not, you end up being a boxer, it
:09:01. > :09:04.doesn't matter, it gets you ready to the world outside and the way you
:09:05. > :09:09.carry yourself as a person. I was lucky to have people like Tony
:09:10. > :09:14.bowers and Johnny had his man as well. That is Johnny Harris. Yes, we
:09:15. > :09:18.understand that world, and you want to do that world justice, you want
:09:19. > :09:22.to do the men justice, but a at the same time there is the social side
:09:23. > :09:26.of thing, where a man turned to alcohol, you know, he has got
:09:27. > :09:30.nowhere to live, and this is happening today and we live in 2017
:09:31. > :09:34.you think what is different from now, to going back to the Edwardian
:09:35. > :09:39.times? People living in the poor house. That is it. And it does deal
:09:40. > :09:43.with those tough kind of subjects and you play, Bill, who like you
:09:44. > :09:47.said, you idolised as a kid, he is the owner and the trainer of this
:09:48. > :09:58.gym and here he is giving boxer Jimmy some advice.
:09:59. > :10:05.All right. Shut up and listen to me. You listening? I find one bot of
:10:06. > :10:13.booze in here, just one, and you're out. I smell booze on your breath
:10:14. > :10:17.just once, in my gym and you're out, do you understand?
:10:18. > :10:22.APPLAUSE Well Ray, you are playing the kind
:10:23. > :10:26.of characters you love, that was classic Ray Winstone, all those nice
:10:27. > :10:30.silences and that deep intensity, what was it like for you to return
:10:31. > :10:36.to that world of boxing? Emotional. Actually. Very happy memories, fear,
:10:37. > :10:41.you know, because every time you box, I was, I was frightened. You
:10:42. > :10:48.would be frightened. Is that you on the right there? Yes, and that is my
:10:49. > :10:54.dad in the middle. The other fighter was David Heyland. Was he part of
:10:55. > :10:59.your training team your dad? No he was just my dad, he liked having his
:11:00. > :11:06.picture taken. You had a good run as a boxer, 80 wins out of 88 fights,
:11:07. > :11:10.were you still scared? That was me, I think probably most fighters are,
:11:11. > :11:15.I think that is something in it, you look across the ring as a man and
:11:16. > :11:19.you think he's a big guy, I remember my first senior fight, he has hairy
:11:20. > :11:25.legs and tattoos and I was still a kid. I thought I can't beat this
:11:26. > :11:28.man, I'm still a a boy. You dig deep and find something, that kind of
:11:29. > :11:32.sets you on a road for everything you have handled the rest of your
:11:33. > :11:36.life. It is like making a film, you know, you read the script and you
:11:37. > :11:39.think, I can't do this, you know, but you have to dig deep and you
:11:40. > :11:43.find, that is part of the challenge of it. And obviously you brought a
:11:44. > :11:51.lot of authenticity to the film, as did Johnny. I like to think so. But
:11:52. > :11:54.Barry McGuigan also. He was advising on the fight scenes and training
:11:55. > :11:59.Johnny and that for the fight. Because the fight scenes in the film
:12:00. > :12:02.are real. They have a fight, you know, it is choreograph a certain
:12:03. > :12:07.way, otherwise they would be knocking one another about too much.
:12:08. > :12:16.But they were real fights, they are great fight scenes. It goes on and
:12:17. > :12:21.on. It is a return to that kind of classic, not about special effects
:12:22. > :12:29.it is... It is old style. Like how we used to make films in the 70, the
:12:30. > :12:33.'80s, Nil By Mouth, War Zone maybe that is what I love, they all have a
:12:34. > :12:38.social point. I love watching marvel films, but when you turn the telly
:12:39. > :12:44.on it is on all the time. I wanted something with a bit of content that
:12:45. > :12:51.educates me. With a bit of bite. Now to a man with a dashing good looks
:12:52. > :12:58.of a matinee idol: Me? He is another one. Britain's first ever celebrity
:12:59. > :13:03.fighter pilot. Emma has been finding out how this young pilot was not
:13:04. > :13:12.only admired by the nation, but also by his arch rival, the Red Baron.
:13:13. > :13:17.Oh it was a good fight. And the Huns were find sports. One tried to ram
:13:18. > :13:24.me after he was hit and only missed me by inches. I am truly looked
:13:25. > :13:28.after by God. I let them have everything I can. I do not think
:13:29. > :13:33.them devils. I only scrap because it is my duty.
:13:34. > :13:38.During the First World War many taught with a lucky charm, for some
:13:39. > :13:44.it might be a lock of hair, but others perhaps a rabbit's foot. For
:13:45. > :13:48.the pilot captain albell ball it was something quite different.
:13:49. > :13:52.-- Albert Ball. At just 20 years old, Albert was a here -- row of the
:13:53. > :13:57.sky with at least 44 victories to his name.
:13:58. > :14:03.His bravery won his several honours including the freedom of the city of
:14:04. > :14:09.Nottingham, his birthplace, and the Victoria Cross. But his young life
:14:10. > :14:14.was cut tragically short while flying in France in May 1917. Albert
:14:15. > :14:19.learned to fly in Hendon London, now the area is home to the RAF museum,
:14:20. > :14:26.from which Claire Pool has been looking into his story. Albert was
:14:27. > :14:30.very brave. He would dive on the enemy, take on whole squadrons, that
:14:31. > :14:33.was his bravery and his courage. He always flew with a piece of plum
:14:34. > :14:37.cake from home. It was his unlucky charm. He was very close to his
:14:38. > :14:43.family, and this was just a little bit of love and a bit of home, to
:14:44. > :14:49.take with him when he flew. Letter to mother, I was so pleased
:14:50. > :14:52.to find the cake waiting for me, I have nearly finish it. I love to
:14:53. > :14:59.take a piece flying with me in the morning. Albert's life and fighting
:15:00. > :15:09.career are well documented in his letters but he also kept diaries.
:15:10. > :15:15.100 years on his great Nice is releasing them. It is lovely they
:15:16. > :15:20.will appear now when it is the 100th anniversary of his death. Do you
:15:21. > :15:27.find any passages moving? There is one here when he said he has one of
:15:28. > :15:32.his most Pappy -- happy days, he received a letter from Thelma, his
:15:33. > :15:37.young lady at the time, congratulating him on his MC. One
:15:38. > :15:42.from dad. Got up at 7.00am. Day spent spring cleaning hut and
:15:43. > :15:47.testing machine. Holding them in my hands and knowing 100 years ago he
:15:48. > :15:52.was holding them... It is funny you say that, because I can see
:15:53. > :15:57.fingerprints if you look carefully. It is Albert's actual fringer prints
:15:58. > :16:02.and it haunts you almost. You feel like you have become part of Albert.
:16:03. > :16:09.Albert was known and admired by the Germans. On hearing the news of his
:16:10. > :16:15.death, their own flying ace the Red Baron praised him as being by far
:16:16. > :16:23.the best English flying man. His nephew has come to meet with Wanda.
:16:24. > :16:42.He liked to go in the air. No risk, no fun. Now we have 100 years later
:16:43. > :16:46.their family members meeting each other. What do you think they might
:16:47. > :16:50.have thought about that? I am sure they would be very pleased. Wouldn't
:16:51. > :16:56.they? Like we are. It is like history coming to life. It is very
:16:57. > :17:00.emotional, actually. Albert's legacy is still treasured
:17:01. > :17:06.by the squadron for whom he last flew. Is anybody interested in a
:17:07. > :17:12.slice of our 100-year-old recipe? Yes. You imagine far from home, cold
:17:13. > :17:23.and wet. Get something that reminds you of home. This is perfect for it.
:17:24. > :17:29.Cheerio dear dad, please give my mother a big cheer Rio for me.
:17:30. > :17:35.Tonnes of love, Albert. PS, do send me a few plants for my greenhouse.
:17:36. > :17:42.Thanks for the chocs. A very big thank you to the 56th
:17:43. > :17:46.squadron there. It is the 100th anniversary of Albert's death on
:17:47. > :17:52.Sunday. Maybe make a fruitcake. It never goes astray. Ray, you built
:17:53. > :17:56.one of these Red Barons as a kid. I wasn't born that long after the
:17:57. > :18:00.Second World War. We used to make air fix models. You would hang them
:18:01. > :18:05.up on the ceiling and make dogfights out of them. And then you went up to
:18:06. > :18:09.Lancaster Bombers and all. That I have always been fascinated by
:18:10. > :18:14.planes. Love them. We think we can do one better than your model
:18:15. > :18:19.aeroplane! The man who is sitting in your left now. This is Peter. Now
:18:20. > :18:27.Peter has spent... You are going applaud more when you see what he's
:18:28. > :18:30.been up to. He's spent the last eight years building a life-sized
:18:31. > :18:35.replica of the baron's plane in his garage. Peter, you have gone grey
:18:36. > :18:44.since then! All this wisdom. He started in 1914!
:18:45. > :18:50.Peter, was are a GP from Norfolk. Why did you want to build a plane? I
:18:51. > :18:58.was always fascinated by it and then I just, by chance, heard that
:18:59. > :19:04.there's actually a flying day at Duksford. It intrigued me. I found
:19:05. > :19:09.out there were pilots in England who build the plane and fly it. I drove
:19:10. > :19:14.to this show and spoke to one of them, John Day. He told me exactly
:19:15. > :19:19.what to do, how to go about it and that's how it started. We will have
:19:20. > :19:23.to bring your wife in. Sue has been a big part of this. What has your
:19:24. > :19:30.life been like for the last eight years? Neglected!
:19:31. > :19:36.She's a plane widow! No, it's been fine. It's kept him out of miss
:19:37. > :19:42.chief! It is incredible to see it. Where do you start when building a
:19:43. > :19:46.plane - which bit do you start with? You start with the plans. I started
:19:47. > :19:50.with the wings because they are all made from wood in my garage. I got
:19:51. > :19:56.all the material and started to do the wings. You have a Biggar raj, I
:19:57. > :20:03.would say! And two wings were on one side and then the middle I started
:20:04. > :20:08.work on the other one. When is the maiden voyage? Hopefully the summer
:20:09. > :20:14.year. I am getting very close now and soon we're going to do another
:20:15. > :20:18.test. It is currently untested in the air? Yes. It's not been in the
:20:19. > :20:24.air yet. We have to get all the authority to approve and then we'll
:20:25. > :20:28.test fly it. Who is we? We is actually my test pilot. OK. You
:20:29. > :20:33.don't like this person very much, do you? I do. He's a friend of mine.
:20:34. > :20:38.He's actually got one as well. He built one ten years ago. He knows
:20:39. > :20:45.exactly how to fly it and I trust him. Sue, Peter gets a plane and you
:20:46. > :20:52.get a beautiful Basset Hound. That was the deal-breaker. That is
:20:53. > :20:54.Reggie, isn't it? I have an image of him with his ears flapping in the
:20:55. > :20:57.wind! We wish you all the best with the
:20:58. > :21:02.maiden voyage. Hopefully come back and tell us how
:21:03. > :21:07.it went. Because Sunday there's a drama about a kid from the East End
:21:08. > :21:12.who is a national treasure. It is not the story of Ray's rise to fame,
:21:13. > :21:19.it's the story of Barbara Windsor. There is a connection with a member
:21:20. > :21:25.of the Winstone family because Ray's daughter Jamie plays the young Babs.
:21:26. > :21:31.Here is the story. In the past the private lives of national treasures
:21:32. > :21:38.like Morecambe and Wise were only dramatised after they passed away.
:21:39. > :21:42.More recently Boy George and others have undergone a treatment, one in
:21:43. > :21:48.which the star is very much alive at the time of filming. Now it is the
:21:49. > :21:52.turn of one of Britain's best-loved actresses Dame Barbara Windsor. Babs
:21:53. > :21:56.tells the story of Barbara's early life and career, right back to the
:21:57. > :22:04.streets of Stepney and her first auditions.
:22:05. > :22:08.# On the sunny side of the street... And for writer Tony Jordan, it is a
:22:09. > :22:13.unique opportunity to tell the true story of an actress everyone thinks
:22:14. > :22:19.they know. What I really wanted to do was to stop people thinking about
:22:20. > :22:25.Barbara as Carry On or EastEnders. She was on broadway. She had a whole
:22:26. > :22:30.career before anyone saw her in the Carry on Films. Most was built
:22:31. > :22:32.around the theatre. Essentially we joined Barbara in the theatre
:22:33. > :22:43.looking back over her life. Filming is under way here. The One
:22:44. > :22:51.Show have arranged for us to have a little sneaky preview.
:22:52. > :22:56.In other news, Miss Windsor's current bo Ronnie Knight has been
:22:57. > :23:03.found not guilty of theft... What did I tell you? Sam ma that Spiro is
:23:04. > :23:07.one of four actresses playing Barbara at different stages of her
:23:08. > :23:11.life. The film takes place, actually the two hours between a matinee and
:23:12. > :23:16.the evening show and I play the Barbara of present day, which is
:23:17. > :23:19.1993. And it's at a point in her life when things are not that great.
:23:20. > :23:23.It is the year before EastEnders. She's just come out of her second
:23:24. > :23:33.marriage and she's thinking, what happened? What are you doing, love?
:23:34. > :23:38.I don't know! Just working things out. Trying to
:23:39. > :23:41.make sense of it. Now, you've played Barbara before,
:23:42. > :23:47.haven't you? What's lovely about it this time is I'm not worried about
:23:48. > :23:58.the impersonation of her. It feels like it's in my bones. I played it
:23:59. > :24:02.in the theatre for six months. Jamie Winstone plays Barbara's younger
:24:03. > :24:07.self. What period of life are you covering - looking at you I can
:24:08. > :24:12.tell? The 60s, a little part of the 50s. This is the bit that people
:24:13. > :24:15.really don't know. They know she married Ronnie Knight and all that.
:24:16. > :24:20.They don't know the stage side, do they? They don't know about her past
:24:21. > :24:26.and her relationships with her dad particularly. It's been so lovely to
:24:27. > :24:33.kind of step into Barbara's shoes. She had a completely wild time.
:24:34. > :24:38.# Oh the memories will soon grow cold... You have the central
:24:39. > :24:42.character alive and kicking. How much has she limited her writing?
:24:43. > :24:45.She's never sensored anything I wanted to do. It was great having
:24:46. > :24:53.her there to just be a rudder almost. What about the harshest
:24:54. > :24:58.critic of all? I can finally ask the grande dame herself how it feels to
:24:59. > :25:04.see your life flash before your eyes? The lovely Tony Jordan got me.
:25:05. > :25:07.It's the way I am. It is his portrayal of me. I don't mind that,
:25:08. > :25:11.you know... Is it weird for you going on set and seeing these two
:25:12. > :25:15.women dressed and looking exactly like you? Yeah. I think they look
:25:16. > :25:19.better than me! I quite like it. They both look great. Does it make
:25:20. > :25:22.you look back on any part of your life and think, I would have done
:25:23. > :25:26.things slightly differently? Yes. But then you say that wouldn't make
:25:27. > :25:31.me what I am today. Do you think there's anything in the film that
:25:32. > :25:36.people will be surprised by seeing? I'm hoping some will say, oh, didn't
:25:37. > :25:41.know she could sing! Oh, didn't know she could dance. Oh, she's an
:25:42. > :25:46.actress. I thought she just did the Carry Ones.
:25:47. > :25:52.# There'll be a little bag of gold to prove that you are mine...
:25:53. > :25:56.Babs is on this Sunday. It is on at 8pm here on BBC One. You have
:25:57. > :26:02.already seen it, Ray. What did you think? Well, she's my little girl,
:26:03. > :26:07.you know. I have to tell her I don't really care. She's fantastic. She's
:26:08. > :26:10.just got it, bang. Whatever she got to create what she's done on there,
:26:11. > :26:14.she should bottle it and keep it and just go to work like that all her
:26:15. > :26:20.life. It's fantastic. Proud dad moment! That's nice. I'm going to
:26:21. > :26:25.have a cry! Right, well after dramatic scenes
:26:26. > :26:31.today at the palace, and after a lot of speculation... I cannot say it!
:26:32. > :26:34.Speculation. I got you! It was announced that Prince Philip will
:26:35. > :26:40.step down from public life, joking he cannot stand up much. To tell us
:26:41. > :26:47.more is Gyles Brandreth. Hi... Oh a little ripple there!
:26:48. > :26:52.Just a little! Is this for health reasons? No. It is not. I saw the
:26:53. > :26:56.Duke of Edinburgh this week up close and personal. I will tell you I
:26:57. > :27:01.don't think you will find many in their mid-907s who are as fit as he
:27:02. > :27:09.-- in their mid-90s who are as fit as he is. He's walking without a
:27:10. > :27:12.stick. A spring in his stride I think he's retiring now to have a
:27:13. > :27:17.few years of actual retirement. He's been doing this for 70 years. It's
:27:18. > :27:24.70 years since the Duke of Edinburgh became the Duke of Edinburgh. The
:27:25. > :27:30.end of this year mark his 70th wedding anniversary. He been at the
:27:31. > :27:36.Queen's side for longer than we have been alive. He's been part and
:27:37. > :27:40.parcel of her life all those years. A very significant day in our
:27:41. > :27:42.island's story. Because it was so significant, the whole family were
:27:43. > :27:47.brought from all corners to hear the news. It is news for the country. It
:27:48. > :27:51.is news for the Commonwealth, for the Royal Family. It is worth
:27:52. > :27:57.remembering that Prince Philip is twice as royal as the Queen. They
:27:58. > :28:02.are both great, great grandchildren of Queen Victoria. His mother and
:28:03. > :28:06.father were descended from kings, Queens and Tsars, the works. One
:28:07. > :28:12.side of the Queen's family is truly royal. His mother was at Queen
:28:13. > :28:16.Victoria's Diamond Jubilee. His mother was born at Windsor Castle.
:28:17. > :28:20.The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh believe in the purpose of royalty.
:28:21. > :28:23.So, this was a significant moment in the family's story. The Queen wears
:28:24. > :28:31.the crown. He's always worn the trousers. Well talking of those
:28:32. > :28:37.engagements, look at this - this is a star-struck Joan, aged 11 in
:28:38. > :28:48.Germany, where her father served. Wasn't he gorgeous. She said he was
:28:49. > :28:52.so hand some. People think of his as a naval officer. This is the royal
:28:53. > :29:00.visit to Bedford. He's laughing because he was asked what he said.
:29:01. > :29:04.He said, marketing, to which Prince Philip responded, "What's all that
:29:05. > :29:08.about? " That is one of 25,000 public engagements. Thank you very
:29:09. > :29:14.much. A big thank you to Winstone as well.
:29:15. > :29:21.Who is filling in for me tomorrow? I mean, it is Gyles. Thank you!
:29:22. > :29:22.I'll get my bag!
