:00:41. > :00:53.
:00:53. > :00:58.special. Hello and welcome to The One Show.
:00:58. > :01:03.You cannot have a party without some great food so we have invited
:01:03. > :01:09.our favourite chef to come along, it is Heston. Keep it simple, we
:01:09. > :01:13.only need cucumber sandwiches. are the Military Wives, they have
:01:13. > :01:19.joined us. You have done a fantastic job with the decorations.
:01:19. > :01:24.And you look gorgeous! We have also got Sir Elton John, Kylie Minogue
:01:24. > :01:31.and Stevie Wonder. It is all happening aboard are fabulous bus
:01:31. > :01:39.and let me tell you, we have the best driver. We're all going on a
:01:40. > :01:49.summer holiday, no more work used - there were these for a week or two.
:01:50. > :01:51.
:01:51. > :01:59.No more worries for me or you. Cliff is not the only guest on
:01:59. > :02:09.board. By royal appointment, it is this evening's ring master, Gary
:02:09. > :02:15.
:02:15. > :02:20.Barlow and Sir Paul McCartney. to see you! We know it is a busy
:02:20. > :02:23.night for the view. We must say it is a bit sad that the Duke of
:02:23. > :02:29.Edinburgh has been taken to hospital but the Palace have
:02:29. > :02:34.decided to go ahead with the evening. Have you heard that news?
:02:34. > :02:41.It is such a shame, really sad. might have been a bit much for him
:02:41. > :02:46.yesterday. I was called are just watching it on television, it was a
:02:46. > :02:53.rotten day. Her Majesty stood for the whole day, she must have been
:02:53. > :02:57.freezing. We do wish him all the best. A few months ago, we were in
:02:57. > :03:01.the Palace talking about this thing and it is finally here. I cannot
:03:01. > :03:07.believe it and it is massive. It was two years ago that we started
:03:07. > :03:11.to plan this concert and the crazy idea came up within an hour of the
:03:11. > :03:17.saying let's have the stage of a bear and when I got here and there
:03:17. > :03:23.has denied and so the stage set up, I couldn't believe it. It also
:03:23. > :03:29.shows, because I saw Sir Paul McCartney was no band, even they
:03:29. > :03:33.are really excited. Backstage here, are just seeing each other and
:03:33. > :03:39.there is a lovely feeling. exciting. It is not in the back
:03:39. > :03:43.garden because the last time, I was in the line-up with Her Majesty and
:03:43. > :03:49.I said, will we be doing this next year? She said, not in my back
:03:49. > :03:53.garden! How did you get involved? Gary Barlow came and saw me for
:03:53. > :03:58.this one and I had done something for him before. They knew each
:03:58. > :04:06.other. The meetings agger of this are always fun because he does this
:04:06. > :04:13.thing where he goes, what you want me to sing? Beacons of but the
:04:13. > :04:19.songs, what you say? He just asked me and we talked about what songs.
:04:19. > :04:24.I refused to do everything he suggested! It was great. I like
:04:24. > :04:31.that. Are you have happy to stick around for a bit on the bass. It
:04:31. > :04:36.would be great if you could hang around. Absolutely. We have some
:04:36. > :04:40.pictures here. The streets are filling up. These are people who
:04:40. > :04:47.are not even invited, there are just turning up to look at the big
:04:47. > :04:54.screens. These are scenes happening right across the country and we
:04:54. > :04:57.think Lucy is just outside Buckingham Palace. I am at the top
:04:57. > :05:02.of constitution Hill, it is so exciting here. The atmosphere is
:05:02. > :05:06.really building. The 10,000 people who are lucky enough to have seats
:05:06. > :05:10.for the concert tonight are filing in and taking their seats. The
:05:10. > :05:13.atmosphere is incredible, some of them are so keen that they can
:05:13. > :05:18.doubt last night in that weather. Some have been here from early this
:05:18. > :05:21.morning. I also got here very early this morning and walked up
:05:21. > :05:27.Constitution Hill and I heard Stevie Wonder and Sir Paul
:05:27. > :05:36.McCartney or doing at sound check - amazing. Tonight's concert is going
:05:36. > :05:41.to the epic. That is quite a scene, isn't it? Either going to the
:05:41. > :05:44.images projected on the stage? get darkness at 9:15pm and at that
:05:44. > :05:49.point, the project on to the palace and there is even someone
:05:49. > :05:55.performing on top of the Palace later. We're going to ask you about
:05:55. > :06:01.that later. Have you seen much of the Queen on the last few days?
:06:01. > :06:05.TV, yes. I ran into her at the Royal Academy and it's always his
:06:05. > :06:11.amazing seeing her because in person, she is just so incredible.
:06:11. > :06:15.I said that when she took the throne, I was 10 years old so why
:06:15. > :06:22.was a kid and very impressionable. I just love to her. This idea that
:06:22. > :06:26.we were going to have a woman as our monarch, very impressive for me
:06:26. > :06:33.and then when you see the films that Charles has been showing and
:06:33. > :06:38.you see it being so humanised with the kids. I loved seeing Charles
:06:38. > :06:43.giggling, I think it is great because people sometimes think the
:06:43. > :06:48.monarchy is a bit distant and you realise, as I did as a 10 year-old,
:06:48. > :06:53.they are just good people. As a 10 year-old, did you think you would
:06:53. > :06:57.be performing at the Diamond Jubilee concert? I never thought I
:06:57. > :07:02.would later, certainly, and never thought there would be performing
:07:02. > :07:05.for her. She is great. It is not just at Buckingham Palace where
:07:05. > :07:12.excitement is building. People are gathering in the centre of Swansea
:07:12. > :07:15.as well. There are 20 towns and cities with these big screens
:07:15. > :07:20.transmitting the Queen's Jubilee concert and also at The One Show
:07:20. > :07:25.tonight. I have come to Swansea where we are attempting something
:07:25. > :07:29.slightly different, seeing if we can break the record for the
:07:29. > :07:38.biggest royal Mexican wave so we're practising here. If you live near
:07:38. > :07:42.here, this is the place to be, get yourself down here!
:07:42. > :07:48.Screens all over the UK. This has to be one of the biggest audiences
:07:48. > :07:54.that you have ever played? The have started to worry as a now! Windows
:07:54. > :07:58.that moment, when you think, I am here to do a job? For me, it was
:07:58. > :08:02.the sound check this morning, when I saw the stage and I hadn't seen
:08:02. > :08:07.the set-up, it was very impressive and you're standing there, looking
:08:07. > :08:13.down at the mall, which is only half full. Then you start thinking,
:08:13. > :08:17.it is going to be Phil. We were speaking to Sir Cliff Richard and
:08:18. > :08:21.he even said, I will start feeling nervous even though it is great
:08:21. > :08:27.seeing friends and catching up with people, the moment before you go on
:08:27. > :08:35.stage, you cannot help get butterflies. 50 minutes and 50
:08:35. > :08:39.seconds to go! You are really worryingly! We want to know how you
:08:39. > :08:49.are preparing for the concert so take a picture of yourself whether
:08:49. > :08:59.you are and send them to us. will get those shown later on. The
:08:59. > :09:01.
:09:01. > :09:08.Queen has been touching lives of people since the start of her reign.
:09:08. > :09:13.Those 60 years ago at the time, the Queen's succession to the throne
:09:13. > :09:18.created unforgettable memories. It was an early 1952 when the young 24
:09:18. > :09:25.year-old Princess received word of the death of her father, King
:09:25. > :09:31.George VI. What do you memories of her visit to Kenya? I was about
:09:31. > :09:36.four years old. I said to my brother, I cannot see her, I cannot
:09:36. > :09:40.see her, so he picked me up and put meat on his shoulders. For a little
:09:40. > :09:46.girl to see a real princess was something very special and I will
:09:47. > :09:52.cherish that memory. She came to Kenya, a princess, and she is going
:09:52. > :09:56.back as a queen. Charles and William have been prepared for it
:09:56. > :10:03.but she wasn't because she suddenly found herself with that enormous
:10:03. > :10:09.responsibility. On the 2nd June 1953, the Golden Stagecoach made
:10:09. > :10:15.its way to Westminster Abbey for the Queen to be crowned. I was in
:10:15. > :10:19.the Royal Marines. On the Coronation Day, I was about here on
:10:19. > :10:27.the Embankment. We had hundreds and hundreds of children behind us and
:10:28. > :10:33.one of these little boys filled up a bottle of lemonade and put a
:10:33. > :10:41.straw in it. I could not hear a single word of audience. I cannot
:10:41. > :10:45.imagine another day when the atmosphere was greater. Over 3
:10:45. > :10:50.million spectators gathered on the streets of London. The coronation
:10:50. > :11:00.was an unmissable experience that united the country. I was wearing a
:11:00. > :11:00.
:11:00. > :11:04.paper skirt and the colour in it ran down my legs. I was five years
:11:04. > :11:10.old, sitting there on the pavement with red, white and blue legs,
:11:10. > :11:13.waving to the Queen! Around 27 million Britons, three quarters of
:11:13. > :11:21.the population at the time, gathered in the homes of friends
:11:21. > :11:24.and neighbours to watch the live coverage. The only person in the
:11:24. > :11:29.street with a television invited the whole street to come to his
:11:29. > :11:32.house to watch. I had the mumps and for people came to my house and
:11:32. > :11:40.lifted the bed and everything down and put me in front of the
:11:40. > :11:45.television so I had the best picture! This is me in the corner,
:11:45. > :11:51.I was 21 and this is Jack he was eight. We all felt we had been
:11:51. > :11:58.transported into the Abbey, we felt really privileged. We all stood up
:11:58. > :12:03.and we sang God Save the Queen and it was absolutely wonderful. She
:12:03. > :12:13.promised to serve this country and she has done it really very, very
:12:13. > :12:15.
:12:15. > :12:21.well and we should all look after her and be thankful.
:12:21. > :12:28.We have moved outsider to the garden. What you think? It is just
:12:28. > :12:36.like a garden! Upstairs you touched on your memory is as a boy of the
:12:36. > :12:42.Queen but you would have been about 10 in 1953. We know that you were
:12:42. > :12:49.10 because we have some homework here. From a young Paul McCartney
:12:49. > :12:55.he is 10 years old and 10 months. What is the story behind this?
:12:55. > :13:01.you remember? There was a competition for all the schools and
:13:01. > :13:08.you had to write about the Coronation or the monarchy. That
:13:08. > :13:18.was my entry. They won a prize for that. The lord mayor of London gave
:13:18. > :13:23.
:13:23. > :13:29.me about! This is brilliant. Look at my neat handwriting. Gary, you
:13:29. > :13:36.won't remember the coronation but you remember at the Silver Jubilee?
:13:36. > :13:42.I think we have a little picture of you living very cute as a young boy.
:13:42. > :13:44.It was great, I remembered that will Street having a party in the
:13:44. > :13:48.garden and it brought the whole neighbourhood together, as it will
:13:48. > :13:54.do today. You can see the whole of England waving flags and that is
:13:54. > :13:57.brilliant. Last night you said, I was up against the railings and I
:13:57. > :14:02.never imagined I would be on the other side. Look at what you have
:14:02. > :14:07.done! It has been amazing. didn't give us any hints as to what
:14:07. > :14:12.would be on Europe set list, when there be a singalong because you
:14:12. > :14:16.are closing the show. There is a little bit of a singalong. We don't
:14:16. > :14:21.have long on the show but there is little sing along. I am going to
:14:21. > :14:26.ask the audience to join in on one little bit. There will be some
:14:26. > :14:35.Bangs, I can't think what number that will be on Lexmark they're
:14:35. > :14:44.going to have fun. I think it would go all the way around the UK! What
:14:44. > :14:50.are you going to be doing? I am doing at Gillette. Then we are
:14:50. > :15:00.coming back and doing the record, Sing, which is the Diamond Jubilee
:15:00. > :15:05.single. The girls much be so excited, they are over there.
:15:05. > :15:08.have about 30 people from the Commonwealth, the African
:15:08. > :15:17.Children's Choir are here and they were just loving being here, they
:15:17. > :15:27.cannot believe it. They are living the rain. You have met royalty so
:15:27. > :15:28.
:15:28. > :15:32.many times, it must be wonderful I have been lucky, since the early
:15:32. > :15:42.days of the Beatles, I have met royalty a few times. I never
:15:42. > :15:43.
:15:43. > :15:46.thought I would meet them as a kid. Was that your phone?! Yes. But for
:15:46. > :15:54.me it was the human aspect that you never realise because we always see
:15:54. > :15:58.them on stamps and money. The first time I met the Queen I was in a
:15:58. > :16:02.line-up and she lives at Windsor and said where you playing tomorrow
:16:02. > :16:11.night? I said we are playing at Slough, just outside Windsor. She
:16:11. > :16:21.said that's just Maras! You would not expect her to say that! -- near
:16:21. > :16:26.
:16:26. > :16:29.I've always found her to be Berry nice and warm. She came and opened
:16:30. > :16:34.by performing arts academy and I asked her the other night if she
:16:34. > :16:38.remembered it, she did. She is all there. It is going to be a big
:16:38. > :16:45.month for you because of this and later in the month you are
:16:45. > :16:53.celebrating a big birthday. Any plans? Family. I like family's --
:16:53. > :17:01.birthdays with the family. A which birthday? 70! You should just have
:17:01. > :17:07.a huge concert in your garden. is one way to go. I will go for the
:17:07. > :17:15.small thing. Have a good time tonight. How long until the
:17:15. > :17:18.concert? 42 minutes. The 10,000 lucky guests have their invites
:17:18. > :17:23.through the ballot and are going to their seats from the royal picnic
:17:23. > :17:30.on what is already a day they will never forget. We went to make sure
:17:30. > :17:34.they have a picture memory of this Diamond Jubilee. It is the garden
:17:34. > :17:44.at Buckingham Palace. All the marquees are said, the picnics are
:17:44. > :17:47.
:17:47. > :17:51.ready to be picked up and the steel All we need now is 10,000 people!
:17:51. > :17:56.The least I can do is help hand out the food and give people something
:17:56. > :18:03.to remember the day by. Nice to meet you. Let's get you with
:18:03. > :18:09.Buckingham Palace in the background. Somehow I have become the Jubilee
:18:09. > :18:13.official photographer for the public. I will take a picture on
:18:13. > :18:23.your picnic blanket. I never imagined I would ever be here.
:18:23. > :18:28.is it like? It is crazy. I unreal. -- and real. Nice to meet you. I
:18:28. > :18:33.like that you managed to get to the champagne tent so early. He looks
:18:33. > :18:43.like he is about to propose. I have the ring of the same as Kate
:18:43. > :18:48.
:18:48. > :18:52.Middleton. Mine is new. Smile, you It will certainly be a day to
:18:52. > :19:02.remember. We are going to play a game, guess the guest by the noise
:19:02. > :19:13.
:19:13. > :19:17.I am still standing... Sir Elton John! We're will come. -- welcome.
:19:17. > :19:20.We are glad you made it because you have not been well. I had pneumonia
:19:20. > :19:24.a couple of weeks ago in Los Angeles and had to be rushed to
:19:24. > :19:30.hospital because I could not breathe. They put me on antibiotics,
:19:30. > :19:37.gave me oxygen and I had done three shows this week. How is your voice?
:19:37. > :19:41.No problem, just the breathing and lungs. We were hearing from Sir
:19:41. > :19:47.Cliff Richard this afternoon that you hosted a party, a pre- jubilee
:19:47. > :19:50.concert party. We had a tea at a hotel up the road so my little boy
:19:50. > :19:56.could come to release part of the festivities because he's too young
:19:56. > :20:01.to come to the show. But when he gets older we can say you were at
:20:01. > :20:07.the Jubilee, you just went for the tea. Who is looking after him?
:20:07. > :20:15.nanny. Cliff was there, Jessie J, Ed Sheeran, Annie Lennox, Kylie
:20:15. > :20:19.Minogue, David Walliams. A lot of people. Did you have food? No, we
:20:19. > :20:26.can't afford that! You had been doing the catering for these
:20:26. > :20:30.picnics, haven't you? A small number, 12,500 of them. We met
:20:30. > :20:34.earlier and you said you walk round the outside and could not believe
:20:34. > :20:37.it. If you write down 12,500 it looks quite a big number. But
:20:37. > :20:44.driving round the perimeter of the palace and seeing the queue of
:20:44. > :20:51.people, thinking every one of those will be needing a hamper, -- a
:20:51. > :21:01.hamper. You have created this amazing picnic box. How did you
:21:01. > :21:01.
:21:01. > :21:05.Mark, the head chef of the palace, helped. We wanted to showcase
:21:05. > :21:12.British produce and also have a time in history, to celebrate 60
:21:12. > :21:21.years of the Queen. Coronation chicken was created for the moment
:21:21. > :21:24.she became Queen. So we played about with that, we have the
:21:24. > :21:28.strawberry dessert, a bit like it strawberry but with yoghurt and
:21:28. > :21:32.cream mixed in, rosewater, elderflower, biscuits, Moran,
:21:32. > :21:39.popping candy on the top and some of the strawberries come from
:21:39. > :21:49.Sandringham. -- Miranda. A no smoked salmon? There is. She does
:21:49. > :21:58.
:21:58. > :22:05.If you are peckish there is a spare one behind you there. Adjust
:22:05. > :22:13.quickly... We did this for Princess Eugenie's birth to a couple of
:22:13. > :22:23.months ago. -- birthday. Edible candles, right? We did a whole
:22:23. > :22:33.
:22:33. > :22:43.So just breakage. -- break it. Chocolate and caramel and passion
:22:43. > :22:53.
:22:53. > :23:02.fruit. Mind your trousers! In there... Is that chocolate?
:23:02. > :23:06.People will be watching the big screens but surely you can give
:23:06. > :23:10.them a close at you because you are off on tour. I did Taunton last
:23:10. > :23:15.night which was freezing. The audience were frozen, bless them.
:23:15. > :23:18.Harrogate tomorrow, then Belfast, Chesterfield, Folkert, Birmingham,
:23:19. > :23:24.Newcastle, Blackpool. The such an amazing back-catalogue to choose
:23:24. > :23:28.from for tonight, how do you choose your set list for a night like
:23:28. > :23:34.tonight? I did not choose them tonight, somebody else did, which
:23:34. > :23:38.is OK. It would have been so difficult to choose. Crocodile Rock,
:23:38. > :23:45.your son, I'm still standing and hopefully we will lighted up with a
:23:45. > :23:49.like a karaoke machine. Are you doing classics? A mixture of both.
:23:49. > :23:53.You must feel at home because you know the Queen. We have met many
:23:53. > :23:58.times and she is a very funny, brilliant woman. I have a lot of
:23:58. > :24:02.great stories that I will cherish until I take them to my grave. She
:24:02. > :24:06.is wonderful. Will any of these stories possibly feature in this
:24:06. > :24:12.film that is rumoured to be about your life coming out? I don't know
:24:12. > :24:16.with any stories will end up in the film. But there will be a book of
:24:16. > :24:21.my life at some stage and they may end up in that. So you will not
:24:22. > :24:26.tell us if there is a film? cannot say. You are going in the
:24:26. > :24:32.royal box. If George Michael did not go on tour, you could go on
:24:32. > :24:37.tour for him. You could just lip synch. He looks so much like him.
:24:37. > :24:42.When he first step down I thought he had turned into George Michael!
:24:42. > :24:49.Are you happy with that? The kind of. Apart from not being able to
:24:49. > :24:54.Sing. So you are going to the royal box. You probably need to go and

:25:17. > :25:27.not just about the music. Across the Commonwealth a special
:25:27. > :25:32.
:25:32. > :25:38.tradition will shine many a light This is a fort on Hadrian's Wall,
:25:38. > :25:41.this was the northern edge of the Roman Empire. It was a wild place
:25:41. > :25:46.and the wall was designed to repel raiders from the warlike tribes
:25:46. > :25:50.from across the border. The Romans, based in forts like this along the
:25:50. > :25:58.length of the wall, needed a way to communicate with each other. They
:25:58. > :26:02.had the ideal system - fire. Beacons of -- beacons are quick and
:26:02. > :26:07.easy warning signs, they continue to be used as a military tools for
:26:07. > :26:11.hundreds of years -- they continued. When Philip the second of Spain
:26:11. > :26:14.that launched his armada against the England of our first Queen
:26:14. > :26:18.Elizabeth, it was a series of beacons round the country that
:26:18. > :26:23.warned of the invasion fleet's arrival. By the 20th century the
:26:23. > :26:27.beacon had lost its importance. Electronic communications to go
:26:27. > :26:31.there, from the Morse code machine to walkie-talkies and field radios.
:26:31. > :26:36.These instant forms of communication, much more reliable,
:26:36. > :26:41.sooner signed the beacon to the annals of military history. In
:26:41. > :26:45.civilian life beacons live on, but now they have a ceremonial rather
:26:45. > :26:52.than military use. Bruno Pique revels in the title of pageant
:26:52. > :26:58.master. -- Bruno Pique. He has been organising events for more than a
:26:58. > :27:03.quarter of a century, continuing a fine tradition. Queen Victoria had
:27:03. > :27:08.her beacons lit for her diamond jubilee and some of those are
:27:08. > :27:15.massive, up to 50 ft high. Some people would Thatch them. They are
:27:15. > :27:18.massive structures. What have we done since then? Then we go back
:27:18. > :27:24.into the millennium, when we let them all across countries across
:27:24. > :27:27.the world. 2005, the bicentenary of the Battle of Trafalgar, that was
:27:27. > :27:32.the first time the Royal Family ever came together and lit beacons
:27:32. > :27:37.together. The Queen met the one in Portsmouth. The Prince of Wales did
:27:37. > :27:40.Scotland. The Earl of Wessex did kill a castle in Northern Ireland,
:27:40. > :27:44.the Princess Royal was Wales and the Duke of York was in Greenwich.
:27:44. > :27:48.So why believe they have had fun doing it as well. The beacons can
:27:48. > :27:51.be a wonderful sight. You can see why they are used for national
:27:51. > :27:56.celebrations. Whether it be for coronations, weddings, or major
:27:56. > :28:01.events, they help make an occasion really special. Hadrian's Wall is
:28:02. > :28:09.one of thousands of sites which will be led by beacons to celebrate
:28:09. > :28:13.the jubilee and today the volunteers are staging a trial run.
:28:13. > :28:18.You will not burn your hands there. Linda is helping organise the
:28:18. > :28:23.beacons there will be set a -- set up along Hadrian's Wall. What will
:28:23. > :28:28.happen on the night? Right the way across Hadrian's Wall communities
:28:28. > :28:38.will light beacons, 60, one for every year of the Queen's reign,
:28:38. > :28:44.
:28:44. > :28:48.Why did you want be involved as an organisation? To be asked by the
:28:48. > :28:53.pageant master if we would participate and illuminate the wall
:28:53. > :28:56.was really a great honour for us and we were really excited to be
:28:57. > :29:02.able to ask our communities all the way across the wall if they would
:29:02. > :29:12.help us realise this brilliant event and be part of the whole
:29:12. > :29:20.
:29:20. > :29:23.What an amazing experience, to be standing here, about 600 ft up in
:29:23. > :29:29.the Northumberland hills right on the line of Hadrian's Wall in a
:29:29. > :29:36.fortress built about 2000 years ago with beacons lighting the walls. It
:29:36. > :29:39.must have been very similar to this. Extraordinary. It has been a
:29:40. > :29:49.brilliant night on this ancient Roman Frontier and a tiny local
:29:50. > :29:52.
:29:52. > :30:02.taste of what The National It is going to be the most amazing
:30:02. > :30:02.
:30:02. > :30:10.spectacle. The Queen will be lighting the last of those 4000
:30:10. > :30:14.beacons from the stage here tonight. Sir Elton John is still with us. My
:30:14. > :30:20.favourite musical of all time is Billy Elliott, it means so much to
:30:20. > :30:27.me. It means a lot to me and it has been a big part of my life for the
:30:27. > :30:32.last few years. We celebrated hour seven years last week and 3000
:30:32. > :30:41.performances. I went to see it again with an you cast and each
:30:41. > :30:48.time I see it, I have to say it just gets to me all the time.
:30:48. > :30:55.are some interesting photos as well, a wonderful celebration. There it
:30:55. > :31:04.is! Took us through what is going on here. The kids were dying to put
:31:04. > :31:09.their faces in the cake. I escaped. We have a wonderful cake, you will
:31:09. > :31:15.not believe that that is the cake. It is a fruit cake. The Crown is
:31:15. > :31:20.made of sugar. We will not to let you near that one! You are writing
:31:20. > :31:23.a musical? I am hopefully going to write a new one with the man who
:31:23. > :31:27.wrote Billy Elliott and we're talking about writing a completely
:31:27. > :31:32.different kind of musical. This one is based on George Orwell's Animal
:31:32. > :31:36.Farm. We are going through the lyrics and deciding which way we
:31:36. > :31:41.are going to go with it. It is a very difficult thing to write and
:31:41. > :31:48.make into a musical but that is the challenge. I have been asked to
:31:48. > :31:54.write a lot of musicals because they are too easy. Completely
:31:54. > :32:00.different from Billy Elliott. in the north-east and you cannot go
:32:00. > :32:05.wrong! Shall go back to Lacey hears with the crowds?
:32:05. > :32:11.I am with some very lucky concert- goers, these people have tickets.
:32:11. > :32:15.Are you excited? Very excited. did you get your tickets? I just
:32:15. > :32:22.got the new laptop and I am all new to the internet, I applied for it
:32:22. > :32:27.and I won them on my but the! Double lucky. You have made quite a
:32:27. > :32:31.holiday of this? We travelled down to London on Saturday morning from
:32:31. > :32:40.Warrington and we are going back on Tuesday evening. What was the best
:32:40. > :32:46.part of the picnic? The champagne. You are from South Wales. Who are
:32:46. > :32:51.you looking forward to seeing tonight? I think Cliff Richard.
:32:51. > :32:55.of course Sir Elton John, could you do us a favour, we are going to
:32:55. > :33:05.have a quick best dressed competition will stop can you tell
:33:05. > :33:14.
:33:14. > :33:24.us who is the winner? Samantha, then Margaret. And not forgetting
:33:24. > :33:31.
:33:31. > :33:41.Dave. It is Samantha! She is the winner. Anything to say to Sir
:33:41. > :33:41.
:33:42. > :33:51.Elton John? I love you, I always have. We have just had a flash of
:33:52. > :33:52.
:33:52. > :33:56.your socks, it says Super and star or! Everybody is wondering what
:33:57. > :34:06.they would do if they were a king or queen for a day. What would you
:34:07. > :34:09.
:34:09. > :34:18.do? What roles would you implement? That is a tough one. I would ban
:34:18. > :34:28.things, I would ban coaches from the West End. Here are some of your
:34:28. > :34:40.
:34:40. > :34:47.If I was Queen, I would have a national dog day at work. I would
:34:47. > :34:52.have dinner with Beyonce, the pop star, amazing. I would be hit my
:34:52. > :34:56.wife. I am only joking! If I Was King for the day, Manchester City
:34:56. > :35:00.would be stripped of all their money and Manchester United would
:35:00. > :35:10.be stripped of all their luck and Arsenal were the top of the league.
:35:10. > :35:12.
:35:12. > :35:16.If I was Queen for the day, I would go to Thorpe Park. If I was king, I
:35:16. > :35:22.would move all Trafford to the shores of Carrickfergus and there
:35:22. > :35:26.should be a place where we can bring the dog along. I would make a
:35:26. > :35:31.lot that everyone would have to laugh at least once a day because I
:35:31. > :35:37.think there is not enough happiness in the world. If I working for the
:35:37. > :35:43.day, I would reintroduce the death penalty. I would help people stop
:35:43. > :35:53.smoking, keep hospitals clean and the doctors clean and keep
:35:53. > :35:53.
:35:53. > :35:57.everybody looking smart when they go to school. If I was king, I
:35:57. > :36:04.would have no big mansion made out of marble with Grecian statues of
:36:04. > :36:09.myself or stop people with no manners would all be imprisoned.
:36:09. > :36:13.would alleviate world hunger, end poverty. I would like for Scotland
:36:13. > :36:18.to qualify for the World Cup. was Queen for the day, I would make
:36:18. > :36:28.sure everyone had �1 million, and nobody would pay taxes and
:36:28. > :36:28.
:36:28. > :36:34.everybody would have a ball. If I was king, I would ban health and
:36:34. > :36:37.safety and let all the adults climb trees and catch insects. Probably
:36:37. > :36:43.drive around the country, pick up the poor people and give them a bat.
:36:43. > :36:49.I would abolish all yellow lines so we could park anywhere. I would
:36:49. > :36:56.take all the people of the dole and put them in charge of the old
:36:56. > :37:06.people, looking after them. I would be married to a footballer for a
:37:06. > :37:09.
:37:09. > :37:13.day, that his colt! David Beckham is my husband!
:37:13. > :37:21.90 for all that was as you are sending in will stop this is

:38:24. > :38:27.
:38:27. > :38:37.It is only Kylie Minogue! Lovely to see you. Did you like that? He is
:38:37. > :38:39.
:38:39. > :38:45.very good at the Trombert. How are you feeling ahead of the big night?
:38:45. > :38:50.Oh, that is the sunshine. It is very exciting. It is such a funny
:38:50. > :38:56.atmosphere because stars keep bumping into each other will stop
:38:56. > :39:01.the are stories aplenty. Down from my dressing room is Sir, So, Dame.
:39:01. > :39:06.The is it even daunting for you? Right now, I feel OK but the closer
:39:06. > :39:11.any of us get to that central stage, it will be amazing. Nothing has
:39:11. > :39:15.been confirmed but in the papers it says Robbie Williams will open. Are
:39:15. > :39:24.you relieved you are not opening the concert, would that be too
:39:24. > :39:32.much? That might be too much! The spirit is just wonderful. What are
:39:32. > :39:38.you going to do? I am doing a little or medley. I have also
:39:38. > :39:44.invited a dance group to perform with me. You are celebrating your
:39:44. > :39:52.own silver jubilee because it is 25 years of Kylie Minogue in a pub?
:39:52. > :39:57.have called this year K 25 and there is lots going on. It has been
:39:57. > :40:03.a fabulous year for me. You have an OBE he as well so you feel you're
:40:03. > :40:07.giving something back to the Queen? I hope she is going to enjoy it.
:40:07. > :40:11.How big a the Jubilee celebrations back in Australia? I have had lots
:40:11. > :40:16.of text messages and e-mails from friends and family who are all
:40:16. > :40:24.going to be watching and it seems like they are very excited, too. It
:40:24. > :40:32.is hard to express to them being here, it is just that the spirit is
:40:32. > :40:36.so nice were ever you go. There are only 18 minutes before the start.
:40:36. > :40:40.You'll be fine but I have to ask, there are rumours that you and
:40:41. > :40:49.Jason Donovan will reunite over the summer at another concert in Hyde
:40:49. > :40:55.Park? You are one of the people who are most happy about that? Alex,
:40:55. > :41:01.you had a picture of Jason Donovan on your wall as a child. Yes, I did.
:41:01. > :41:08.Yes, that is actually happening and I think it will be a bizarre moment
:41:08. > :41:15.but a beautiful one. It it is going to make people's dreams come true.
:41:15. > :41:20.We can hear the warm-up acts onstage at the moment. It is
:41:20. > :41:25.gorgeous and the sun looks like it is going to stay. It is beautiful.
:41:25. > :41:29.Do you know where you are within the running order? Actually, I
:41:29. > :41:35.don't. I should know these things but there is so much information
:41:35. > :41:39.and scheduling at it again that I am just going where they tell me,
:41:39. > :41:44.when they tell me. I think I am about halfway through. You have had
:41:44. > :41:48.a busy few weeks because you are fresh back from Cannes, permitting
:41:48. > :41:54.your new film there and we saw club earlier and it is so different from
:41:54. > :42:04.the Kylie Minogue we're used to. absolutely loved doing it. Let's
:42:04. > :42:27.
:42:28. > :42:34.It is quite different. It was an amazing experience, the director
:42:34. > :42:38.was just revered and people love him. It is so nice to step out of
:42:38. > :42:47.what I have become so accustomed to doing and go back to what I started
:42:47. > :42:56.out doing it with a fresh challenge. You are going to be singing a
:42:56. > :42:59.little bit more up-tempo tonight? We have Dame Shirley Bassey
:42:59. > :43:04.performing and lots of people have been around the block numerous
:43:04. > :43:12.times, do you think you will be celebrating your Diamond Jubilee,
:43:12. > :43:17.still here in 25 years? Oh, gosh, who knows? People like that, like
:43:18. > :43:21.Tom Jones, Shirley Bassey, Cliff Richard, they just show that it can
:43:21. > :43:29.be done and it is what you do and what you love doing and people want
:43:29. > :43:34.more of it, he who knows, we will see? We certainly hope you will be
:43:34. > :43:42.here in 25 years and have a brilliant evening will stop it is

:45:01. > :45:07.weirdest costume in Wales, it is the weirdest costumes in the whole
:45:07. > :45:17.of Britain today. Now it is time for our Royal Mexican wave. We have

:47:52. > :47:58.occasions celebrated by millions but they would not have been quite
:47:58. > :48:03.the same if it had not been for a bloke from Oldham. Born in 1902,
:48:03. > :48:11.William Walton is famous for his Royal March, Crown Imperial. But he
:48:11. > :48:13.grew up in order near Manchester. With smoke from 270 cotton mills
:48:13. > :48:17.shrouding the sky, he seemed destined for an unremarkable life
:48:17. > :48:23.until his father read that Christ Church Cathedral in Oxford was
:48:23. > :48:25.auditioning for choirboys. Getting a place at a cathedral choir school
:48:25. > :48:31.like this is the ecclesiastical equivalent of joining the Beatles,
:48:31. > :48:35.isn't it? Absolut. In nearly did not happen because Walton's father
:48:35. > :48:38.went on a pub crawl the night before he was supposed to come for
:48:38. > :48:42.his audition and drank all the train fare way. Mother had to
:48:42. > :48:51.borrow the money from the local greengrocer, they finally got down
:48:51. > :48:55.here for the trials and missed them but fortunately they agreed to hear
:48:55. > :49:05.him and he got in. So had it not been for that train fare, English
:49:05. > :49:06.
:49:06. > :49:10.music could be quite different. Walton love to live in Oxford and
:49:10. > :49:15.daughter was the most beautiful place he had seen. When his voice
:49:15. > :49:18.started to break he feared being sent home to all them. He devised
:49:18. > :49:22.strategies in his life here to avoid having to go back, one of
:49:23. > :49:32.which was to develop his composition. This was composed by
:49:33. > :49:35.
:49:35. > :49:39.him? This is a piano piece he wrote when he was only 15. A very
:49:39. > :49:42.energetic left-hand part that he wrote. He really felt he had to
:49:42. > :49:46.make and sell special because he did not want to go back to Aldham.
:49:46. > :49:49.What would have happened if he had? He would have gone back to working
:49:49. > :49:54.the cotton mills like other children of the same sorts of
:49:54. > :49:59.families. Did the strategy work? did and he was taken under the wing
:49:59. > :50:03.of the Dean he wants to push this boy's talent. Music allowed Walton
:50:03. > :50:09.to escape his old life, his career as a composer rocketed launching
:50:09. > :50:13.into high-society. Crown imperial grace George Inn 6's coronation and
:50:13. > :50:23.many royal occasions since. Today it is being performed in

:50:32. > :50:37.Christchurch Cathedral specially You know you have arrived when you
:50:37. > :50:41.asked to compose something Faure coronation. The you certainly do.
:50:41. > :50:46.Isn't it wonderful? He really knew how to write for these grand
:50:46. > :50:52.occasions. It feels Royal. How is he doing that? The wide range of
:50:52. > :51:02.instruments. The strings, all of that comes together to create this
:51:02. > :51:02.
:51:02. > :51:54.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds
:51:54. > :51:58.great, dramatic, know the effect. Today Sir William Walton is
:51:58. > :52:02.regarded as one of Britain's greatest composers, favoured by
:52:02. > :52:12.kings and queens. Pretty good going for a boy who couldn't afford the
:52:12. > :52:27.
:52:27. > :52:32.We will be hearing very different music tonight. There they are, in
:52:32. > :52:42.the royal box, all seated and ready to go. Brian May is up there! He
:52:42. > :52:47.can relax this time round. Prince Edward. All sitting waiting.
:52:47. > :52:52.Only six minutes and 35 seconds. All the artists are probably a bit
:52:52. > :52:56.nervous now. Sir Cliff Richard told us earlier he was feeling a bit
:52:56. > :53:03.nervous but very excited and early on he popped in to have a chat
:53:03. > :53:09.about what he will be performing tonight. Is our lovely bus bringing
:53:09. > :53:13.back great memories. The last time I was on a bus I drove it! I didn't
:53:13. > :53:16.actually, I was getting home from the big pageant on the Thames
:53:17. > :53:20.yesterday, my car got lost, it was pouring with rain so we got on the
:53:20. > :53:26.bus to Chelsea. I had to sign autographs but I got on a bus and
:53:26. > :53:30.it was great fun. Did you have a singalong on the bus? Quietly. I
:53:30. > :53:34.was having photographs taken by everybody. So I thought I'd better
:53:34. > :53:38.not make too much of a play or that. How has your day been? I have done
:53:38. > :53:42.nothing. I got here an hour early because there is nothing on the
:53:42. > :53:47.streets. Everybody thinks the streets will be jammed but there is
:53:47. > :53:51.nobody on them. Sarah Elton through a wonderful party for us and we are
:53:51. > :53:57.all coming in and out at different times. This afternoon? That is when
:53:57. > :54:03.it happened. But will people turn up tonight? I think so. I am here!
:54:03. > :54:08.I could do two hours if they want. It is an incredible five, all the
:54:08. > :54:13.different acts and artists. There is always something about doing a
:54:13. > :54:17.show like this, there is an excitement there. I guess it is to
:54:17. > :54:23.do with the longevity of monarchy, the fact you are in the presence of
:54:23. > :54:33.somebody connected to Henry VII somewhere along the line. About 10
:54:33. > :54:36.years ago we performed in her back garden, all the competitive thing
:54:36. > :54:43.disappears and we become like a true fraternity of singers and
:54:43. > :54:47.dancers. Backstage is always very relaxed. It is fantastic. I love
:54:47. > :54:51.these events. Can you give us any clues as to what is on your set
:54:51. > :54:55.list tonight? I am told I should not really so I will only say when
:54:55. > :55:02.I was sitting thinking about it I thought I am probably older than
:55:02. > :55:10.everyone on the show, so I probably might be the only one who could
:55:10. > :55:15.Sing a hit from the 1950s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 2000. So I will do that.
:55:15. > :55:19.you be congratulating the Queen in true Sir Cliff Richard style?
:55:19. > :55:29.will play it by ear and see if I dare to! We are looking forward to
:55:29. > :55:32.
:55:32. > :55:40.Not long now until he is performing in front of Prince Harry there...
:55:40. > :55:46.We did see Heston there. Sat at the top there. The Duke and Duchess of
:55:46. > :55:49.Cambridge are there. They almost have as good a view as us. We have
:55:49. > :55:55.been really lucky that all the artists have dropped by this
:55:55. > :55:59.afternoon and this evening on the show. Early on... We had a dream
:55:59. > :56:06.come true! They said would you like to speak to Stevie Wonder? We said
:56:06. > :56:10.OK! We put a keyboard in front of the bus and this is what happened...
:56:10. > :56:18.It has just gone lunchtime and we were setting up the bus and look
:56:18. > :56:22.who turned up. Stevie Wonder! question is how much did you pay
:56:23. > :56:32.them to do that?! You had just finished rehearsing, did it go
:56:33. > :56:34.
:56:34. > :56:40.well? I am very happy. Good English accent! Will this be the first time
:56:40. > :56:47.you have played for the Queen? First time, yes. A dream come true?
:56:47. > :56:52.It is and I just hope we can do more of a longer situation at some
:56:52. > :57:01.stage for Her Majesty because my two youngest sons wanted to be here
:57:01. > :57:11.but they have school today. So I said you cannot come. Come on, Dad!
:57:11. > :57:16.
:57:16. > :57:22.It is really a wonderful thing. Isn't she lovely? It is a
:57:22. > :57:31.celebration, I am honoured to be invited. Could we have a touch of
:57:31. > :57:41.Habi birthday? Sing with me? Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to
:57:41. > :57:50.
:57:50. > :57:54.Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday! That was a dream come
:57:54. > :58:00.true and that was for the Queen's official birthday on 16th June.
:58:00. > :58:08.Such a special moment. Indeed. We are surrounded by the Military
:58:08. > :58:13.Wives Choir. Congratulations. What was it like singing? Amazing. I
:58:13. > :58:19.feel so privileged to be part of it. And working with Gary Barlow as
:58:19. > :58:23.well. And led by the wonderful Gareth Malone. Yes, a great person.
:58:23. > :58:27.You are part of the concert tonight but who are you particularly
:58:27. > :58:37.looking forward to seeing performing? Where to begin? Robbie
:58:37. > :58:42.Williams! Kylie. Tom Jones. It is superb. Do you get to stick around
:58:42. > :58:48.after for the party? Sadly we have to head straight back. Make the
:58:48. > :58:58.most of it now! On the champagne before even performing!
:58:58. > :58:58.
:58:58. > :59:02.Thank you to you, and all our guests. We will now sit back and
