:00:48. > :00:49.years since the start of the Battle of the Somme.
:00:50. > :00:51.It was a battle so fierce that almost 20,000
:00:52. > :00:59.British soldiers lost their lives in just the first day.
:01:00. > :01:08.Gunfire marked the end of an overnight vigil here.
:01:09. > :01:14.Both the British and French national anthems were played. Thousands of
:01:15. > :01:21.people came here to take part. They were joined either Prince of Wales
:01:22. > :01:24.and the Duchess of Cornwall, as well as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge
:01:25. > :01:30.and Prince Harry. The French president and British Prime Minister
:01:31. > :01:36.paid tribute to those who died. Even at the height of the battle, there
:01:37. > :01:45.were still moments of humanity and mutual respect between enemies. Just
:01:46. > :01:48.to let you know I am OK putt there were also readings from soldiers and
:01:49. > :01:57.actors, as well as musical performances. To remember the
:01:58. > :02:03.bravery is of the soldiers who gave their lives 100 years ago. I have
:02:04. > :02:10.some student with me who had a job to do today. Tell the people what to
:02:11. > :02:15.did. To pay our respects to the people who died, the girls laid some
:02:16. > :02:22.flowers on the graves and the boys laid some routes. It wasn't just
:02:23. > :02:29.British schoolkids. It was how British and half French. How did it
:02:30. > :02:36.feel today? It was sad that they died for us but happy to say thanks.
:02:37. > :02:40.Is it important for young people to remember the sacrifices soldiers
:02:41. > :02:45.made? It's important because they died for our future and it's
:02:46. > :02:51.important we understand that and it will affect our futures and arcades'
:02:52. > :02:57.futures. You did a good job. Thank you for speaking to us. 100 years
:02:58. > :03:01.might have passed since the Battle of the Somme but it is clear that
:03:02. > :03:02.the sacrifices made by those soldiers are very important to the
:03:03. > :03:05.people here today. Now it's a massive night
:03:06. > :03:09.for Wales in Euro 2016 - they're the only home nation
:03:10. > :03:11.left in the tournament. They take on Belgium
:03:12. > :03:13.in the quarterfinals tonight. Jenny's in Lille in France
:03:14. > :03:17.where excitement is building! Determined, passionate
:03:18. > :03:20.and a brilliant team spirit - a few words which have been used
:03:21. > :03:23.to describe Wales in their first Today I've been in the city centre
:03:24. > :03:27.of Lille, which has been a sea of red, soaking up the atmosphere,
:03:28. > :03:30.and finding out how Wales fans are feeling on the day
:03:31. > :03:33.of what could be the biggest game in their country's
:03:34. > :03:36.footballing history. Come on, Aaron Ramsey,
:03:37. > :03:43.you can do it for Wales! Don't take me home, please don't
:03:44. > :03:45.take me home! It's our first major
:03:46. > :03:47.tournament in 58 years and I I think that we will
:03:48. > :03:54.win 1-0 and Bale will score. It's amazing, I never thought
:03:55. > :04:02.we would get this far What did it feel
:04:03. > :04:06.like to have reached Brilliant, we got further
:04:07. > :04:10.than England, that's all I wanted. It's been amazing, an amazing
:04:11. > :04:13.experience Who do you think is
:04:14. > :04:18.the biggest threat from I think players like
:04:19. > :04:21.De Bruyne because they can control the game and he
:04:22. > :04:23.could win it for them. I think we are lucky today
:04:24. > :04:26.because we have a solid defender and he will give us
:04:27. > :04:29.a good chance to win. I think their most dangerous player
:04:30. > :04:31.is Joe Hart because he controls the game
:04:32. > :04:34.and passes well. Opponents Belgium are ranked
:04:35. > :04:41.the second best team in the world at the moment and have a lot of star
:04:42. > :04:44.players in their squad. They'll go into the
:04:45. > :04:46.match as favourites. But did you know that Wales
:04:47. > :04:48.are actually unbeaten against And if Chris Coleman's side play
:04:49. > :04:53.well tonight, then they could be I've been following Wales
:04:54. > :04:57.all the way from their first group game in Bordeaux,
:04:58. > :04:59.and one thing's for sure - they will definitely
:05:00. > :05:01.have the support of their incredible They've been singing 'Please don't
:05:02. > :05:17.take me home' all tournament. their Euro 2016 journey might not be
:05:18. > :05:20.coming to an end just yet Now one journey that is coming
:05:21. > :05:24.to an end is Ryan Giggs' time at Manchester United -
:05:25. > :05:27.he's leaving after almost 30 years. Giggs joined United's academy
:05:28. > :05:29.when he was just 14 and has been a player, assistant
:05:30. > :05:31.manager and a coach. New boss Jose Mourinho is starting
