:00:35. > :00:39.Hello and you're very welcome to a special live programme of the
:00:39. > :00:43.coverage of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee visit to Northern Ireland.
:00:43. > :00:48.Now, we were expecting Her Majesty to be arriving here in Enniskillen
:00:48. > :00:52.within the next few minutes, but, as you can see, the weather is
:00:52. > :00:56.playing havoc in Northern Ireland. She was due to have touched down at
:00:56. > :01:01.the local airport, St Angelo Airport, but that, we are told, has
:01:01. > :01:05.now been delayed. So, at this stage, we don't know what time the Queen
:01:05. > :01:10.will be arriving, but the crowds have turned out in their droves.
:01:10. > :01:15.The brollies are up, the flags are waving. All hoping to welcome the
:01:15. > :01:21.Queen to Enniskillen to St Macartin's Cathedral for a very
:01:21. > :01:29.special Thanksgiving service. We can go inside the cathedral now and
:01:29. > :01:33.join Noel Thompson. It's a little warmer inside St
:01:34. > :01:38.Macartin's Cathedral where 760 people are packed in. That's almost
:01:38. > :01:45.capacity for the church. These invitees are some local people but
:01:45. > :01:49.a lot have come from far and wide. This is seen as a state service, in
:01:49. > :01:52.some ways, of Thanksgiving for Her Majesty and people have come from
:01:52. > :01:58.all over Northern Ireland and further afield to take their part
:01:58. > :02:06.in this service. It is the First Minister there
:02:06. > :02:11.who'll be reading a lesson in the service. And there are the Lords,
:02:11. > :02:17.lieutenants of all counties in Northern Ireland. There are chairs
:02:17. > :02:26.and deputy chairs and Chief Executives of local councils, the
:02:26. > :02:29.Chief Constable there, of course. They'll all be compacted here in
:02:30. > :02:37.this cathedral. The former Archbishop there at the extreme
:02:37. > :02:41.right of that picture. I'm joined in the cathedral in our little area
:02:42. > :02:45.here by cannon Noel Batty whose voice will be well known to all BBC
:02:45. > :02:52.Radio and television listeners. Very good morning to you. Thank you
:02:52. > :02:56.very much, Noel. Tell us a little about the cathedral? St Macartin's
:02:56. > :03:00.has only been a cathedral since about 1923, 90 years ago. Before
:03:00. > :03:06.that, it was a parish church for 300 years, in fact it had a
:03:06. > :03:11.different name, called St Anne's. The hope was at that stage it would
:03:11. > :03:17.replace the cathedral but it didn't do so, both have remained.
:03:17. > :03:21.should remind people, this is the only dioceses in the whole Anglican
:03:21. > :03:26.communion that has two cathedrals. It's unique for two reasons, I
:03:26. > :03:30.suppose. By definition, each dioceses should have just one
:03:30. > :03:33.diocese in the cathedral. To have more than one seat of government, I
:03:33. > :03:39.suppose it would be like having one assembly in Stormont and one up the
:03:39. > :03:47.road in Lurgan. But only one dene? Yes, exactly. Great excitement
:03:47. > :03:52.yesterday for the rehrsal for the service and there'll be some music
:03:52. > :03:58.from the choir -- rehearsal. They are well augmented. Special voices
:03:58. > :04:03.brought in for this special occasion, from special musical and
:04:03. > :04:13.choral societies. We'll hear from the chamber choir from a Royal
:04:13. > :04:14.
:04:15. > :04:23.school who have a special bit of music for us. There will be hymns,
:04:23. > :04:27.prayers, an address by the Archbishop, Alan Harper, and the
:04:27. > :04:32.service should last 45-50 minutes, we understand.
:04:32. > :04:40.Then, Her Majesty will make her way across the road to St Michael's
:04:40. > :04:46.Church where she'll meet groups of civil society, from businesses,
:04:46. > :04:51.schools, voluntary communities. That's all ahead of us. Sarah.
:04:51. > :04:56.Well, Noel, a little update for you on the Queen's arrival. We have
:04:56. > :05:02.been told by the NIO that because of the inclement weather that,'s
:05:02. > :05:06.one way to put it, the Queen will now not be landing at St Angelo
:05:06. > :05:12.Airport near Enniskillen, she will instead be arriving at RAF Alder
:05:12. > :05:17.grove and then will be helicoptered here instead. So a delay on the
:05:17. > :05:21.proceedings today. Everybody waiting inside and out, but the
:05:22. > :05:27.spirits are still high. We heard there inside the cathedral a little
:05:27. > :05:31.bit about the history beside this fantastic building. In fact, the
:05:31. > :05:38.Queen's visit coincides with the 400th anniversary of the founding
:05:38. > :05:42.of Enniskillen by Royal charter from King James I in 1612. This
:05:42. > :05:48.magnificent cathedral now occupies the site of the original church
:05:48. > :05:52.which was built on the highest point of this island town.
:05:52. > :05:58.Oush district journalist Julian Fowler has been exploring some of
:05:58. > :06:06.its history with the rector and the dene, Kenneth Hall.
:06:06. > :06:09.The first church here was completed in 1627. Built by Captain William
:06:09. > :06:16.Cole for the settlement of English families. All that remains of the
:06:16. > :06:20.original is part of the tower. The modern building with its 150 foot
:06:20. > :06:26.spire dates back to 18 42. Originally, the parish church of St
:06:26. > :06:31.Anne's, it became St Macartin's Cathedral in 1923 which means the
:06:31. > :06:37.dene holds a unique position in the Anglican Church. I think in 1923
:06:37. > :06:47.that when it was upgraded to a cathedral status, they were looking
:06:47. > :06:48.
:06:48. > :06:54.to centre the cathedral in a provincial town. Clogher has two
:06:54. > :07:01.cathedrals, I think I'm the only person to be dene of two. Part of
:07:01. > :07:07.the knave has been converted into a regimental chapel. This opened in
:07:07. > :07:15.1970. Enniskillen is the only town in the British Isles to have two
:07:15. > :07:20.regiments. The Dragoon guards and the Royal Fusiliers. The colonel in
:07:20. > :07:24.chief was the Queen's cousin. Two flags are laid up here in this
:07:24. > :07:28.regimental chapel. At the back of the regimental chapel, there's the
:07:28. > :07:32.Book of Remembrance, containing every name of every serving soldier
:07:32. > :07:37.that lost their lives in the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. The east
:07:37. > :07:40.window is reputed to be one of the finest in any parish church in
:07:40. > :07:44.Ireland. I think one of the most impressive features is the east
:07:45. > :07:49.window. It has the theme of the resurrection. The raising of the
:07:49. > :07:53.widow's son, the diocese' daughter, the raising of has reth and Christ
:07:53. > :07:59.to Mary after the resurrection, that's a sign of great hope as we
:07:59. > :08:03.look to the east and look to the resurrection for eternal life.
:08:03. > :08:09.of the history is preserved in an intriguing headstone now mounted in
:08:09. > :08:14.the wall. This was found at the rebuilding of the church in 18 42,
:08:14. > :08:20.a memorial to the son of one of the founders of Enniskillen. Engraved
:08:20. > :08:25.on the stone, the last words of Thomas Cromwell, beheaded by Henry
:08:26. > :08:31.VIII. This is the first time in the 385 year of the church that a
:08:31. > :08:36.ruling Monarch's come to visit. She hasn't arrived yet, sadly, as
:08:36. > :08:40.we have heard. The Queen has been delayed and won't be landing just
:08:40. > :08:46.as we thought within the next few minutes.
:08:46. > :08:50.Sheltering under the umbrella with me today is the historian Eamonn
:08:50. > :08:55.Phoenix. We were hearing incredible history behind this cathedral here?
:08:55. > :08:58.It goes back really to the plantation of Ulster in 1611 when
:08:58. > :09:03.the town of Enniskillen was founded by Captain William Cole. This has
:09:03. > :09:09.been built three times, rebuilt three times this church. The first
:09:09. > :09:15.goes back to 1627. But the present cathedral dates to the 1840s. With
:09:15. > :09:21.this fantastic tower and spire with this bell peeling, which we can
:09:22. > :09:26.hear even as we speak. It's the highest hill of Enniskillen, hence
:09:26. > :09:30.the choice for this church. It's the first time a reigning Monarch's
:09:31. > :09:35.visited the cathedral, but it's not the first visit for the Queen?
:09:35. > :09:38.came here just after the Second World War, 1946 and paid a famous
:09:39. > :09:43.visit as Princess Elizabeth to Enniskillen at that time. Of course,
:09:43. > :09:48.she was actually captured on film by a local publican, William Blake,
:09:48. > :09:56.of the famous local hostelry Blakes of the Hollow who filmed her from
:09:57. > :10:00.an upstairs window in his pub. She visited the RUC Depot and was none
:10:00. > :10:10.plused I think was the superintendent presented her with a
:10:10. > :10:10.
:10:10. > :10:14.bottle of potten. We'll be bringing you a Special Report on that poteen
:10:14. > :10:18.presentation later, through the wonders of television! You also
:10:18. > :10:23.mentioned the capturing on the cine film by the local publican William
:10:23. > :10:31.Blake. We have that footage of the visit by the young Princess
:10:31. > :10:34.Elizabeth back in March, 1946. Take a look. Arthur Blake watches
:10:34. > :10:39.pressure memories of himself and his family in the 40s. That's me.
:10:39. > :10:43.And my sister Anne. Thanks to friendships struck up with the
:10:43. > :10:47.American troops stationed in Fermanagh during the war, Arthur's
:10:47. > :10:51.father William had access to his beloved 16mm colour cine film which
:10:51. > :10:55.was impossible to get here at the time. Those friendships allowed him
:10:55. > :11:00.to record a special day in Enniskillen's history, filmed from
:11:00. > :11:04.the upstairs of the family's confectionary shop. The arrival of
:11:04. > :11:08.a young Princess on an early official visit.
:11:08. > :11:13.There's a large crowd to welcome Princess Elizabeth to Enniskillen,
:11:13. > :11:17.held back by police as they jostle for a good look at the future Queen.
:11:17. > :11:21.The Princess doesn't disappoint. Smiling and waving from the balcony
:11:21. > :11:24.of the Town Hall, she was greeted with cheers, the peeling of bells
:11:24. > :11:34.from the cathedral followed by the national anthem played by the band
:11:34. > :11:35.
:11:35. > :11:40.of the Royal Ulster Rifles 1st Battalion. That's nice there.
:11:40. > :11:47.There's not much of it, but at least she's there. This little
:11:47. > :11:54.footage has been rescued and saved and it's great that the family can
:11:54. > :11:58.share it now on the Queen's Jubilee. And this is a brief glimpse of
:11:58. > :12:03.William Blake. Many of his latest films were lost in a fire, but
:12:03. > :12:08.thankfully, this one survived. In an era of black-and-white
:12:08. > :12:17.photographs and newsreel, the colour images he captured on his
:12:17. > :12:22.cine camera back in 1946 are a unique record of a Royal occasion.
:12:22. > :12:31.We are looking at pictures of the choir and the clergy at the top of
:12:31. > :12:39.the church by the altar there. Leader is here. You will see many
:12:39. > :12:49.faces you recognise as the cameras go round the interior, Matt Baggott
:12:49. > :12:52.
:12:52. > :13:02.and Peter Robinson of course. Noel, as we said, two diocese here, In
:13:02. > :13:02.
:13:02. > :13:06.clog clog. -- Clogher. We spoke to the parish priest and the dene here
:13:06. > :13:12.and they're very keen that today this be seen if you like as one
:13:12. > :13:17.dioceses, one parish? Well, they've both been here two years, less than
:13:17. > :13:21.that, and they were both new in the town. It's remarkable the change
:13:21. > :13:24.they've made, the effect of working tots. Yesterday afternoon, we went
:13:24. > :13:28.to St Michael's to have a lack at the church and to see the
:13:28. > :13:30.preparations that have gone on. They were quite fantastic. I wasn't
:13:30. > :13:33.just impressed by the flower arrangements and the lists of
:13:33. > :13:37.people being lined up for today's service and for the meeting
:13:37. > :13:41.afterwards, but also for the way in which they've taken out the pews
:13:42. > :13:44.out of the back of the church just to make people welcome. It had a
:13:44. > :13:49.tremendous sense of a real effort being put into the whole thing to
:13:49. > :13:52.keep the two working together. we haven't seen quite yet is the
:13:52. > :13:56.relationship between the two churches. When you walk out of the
:13:56. > :14:00.west door, the main door of St Macartin's and you're practically
:14:00. > :14:06.in, you cross the narrow street and you are into St Michael's? It's
:14:06. > :14:12.remarkable. So we'll be seeing cannon Peter O'Reilly, the parish
:14:12. > :14:16.priest of St Michael's and of course Kenneth Hall, the dene of
:14:16. > :14:21.this cathedral. They've been working very closely. They both
:14:21. > :14:26.said they had picked up on cooperation which was going on for
:14:26. > :14:34.years between the previous bishops, bishop Duffy and Jackson and there
:14:34. > :14:38.was a very good relationship which they're very keen to see this day
:14:38. > :14:41.as a coming together of all the people of the two diocese, not to
:14:41. > :14:48.forget of course the Presbyterians and the methodists who're
:14:48. > :14:52.represented here by their leaders as well.
:14:52. > :14:56.We all wait outside St Macartin's Cathedral for the arrival of the
:14:56. > :15:01.Queen. As we know, it's been delayed. I think the word is
:15:01. > :15:04.filtering through to the people on the streets, but they're still
:15:04. > :15:14.waving from the windows and when she arrives, we'll bring you full
:15:14. > :15:21.
:15:22. > :15:26.The delay because of the weather means a later than planned start to
:15:26. > :15:35.the Queen's visit to Northern Ireland. We will be returning as
:15:35. > :15:38.soon as she arrived. Now let's reminisce the boy -- bygone days.
:15:38. > :15:48.The BBC television cameras have captured the changing face of
:15:48. > :15:50.
:15:50. > :15:53.everyday life in Northern Ireland for more than a century. Over the
:15:53. > :16:03.years our lives have been transformed. We have captured the
:16:03. > :16:03.
:16:03. > :55:11.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 2348 seconds
:55:11. > :55:16.best of times and the worst of Hello and welcome to our lives
:55:16. > :55:26.special coverage of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee visit to Northern
:55:26. > :55:27.
:55:27. > :55:31.Ireland. We can just show you now scenes at the St Angelo airport as
:55:32. > :55:36.the Queen's helicopter is just coming into view, about to land. It
:55:36. > :55:42.is an hour and 20 minutes later than she was due to touch down at
:55:42. > :55:46.St Angelo. She was meant to be here at 10:20am this morning. In a
:55:46. > :55:56.regular aircraft. But the weather was playing havoc with the plans
:55:56. > :55:56.
:55:56. > :56:00.and she had to make an alternative to tour to RAF Aldergrove. She and
:56:00. > :56:09.the Duke of Edinburgh got into this helicopter and they have now just
:56:09. > :56:14.touched down in Enniskillen, at St Angelo airport. People here at St
:56:14. > :56:18.Macartin's cathedral are anxiously waiting. They have been here since
:56:18. > :56:24.early this morning, all waiting for that special service of
:56:24. > :56:31.thanksgiving. They will be delighted to hear that their
:56:31. > :56:37.weighting has paid off. They have fun runners at the ready. -- they
:56:37. > :56:40.have our umbrellas at the ready. The rain has stopped just in time
:56:40. > :56:45.for the doors to open on the helicopter. Somebody is stepping
:56:45. > :56:53.out. In the next few minutes we will finally see the Queen as she
:56:53. > :56:59.arrives. She is due to be greeted by the Lord-Lieutenant of Fermanagh
:56:59. > :57:09.and the Secretary of State, Owen Paterson. That door is just opening
:57:09. > :57:11.
:57:11. > :57:16.now. And there we get a first glimpse of the Queen! As she
:57:16. > :57:21.arrives, touching down in Enniskillen, dressed in a striking
:57:21. > :57:26.a powder-blue outfit today for her visit to Northern Ireland. Behind
:57:26. > :57:31.her, the Duke of Edinburgh, too. Looking well after his recent spell
:57:31. > :57:40.in hospital. You will remember the weather at the river pageant on the
:57:40. > :57:44.Jubilee weekend. He has made to a good recovery. The Queen and the
:57:44. > :57:49.Duke of Edinburgh making their way across the tarmac. She raises her
:57:49. > :57:53.hand as if to say sorry about that! Some people were wondering if she
:57:53. > :58:03.was operating on Fermanagh time today, with things a little bit
:58:03. > :58:04.
:58:04. > :58:10.later than planned! But she is here now and the bells are ringing. The
:58:10. > :58:14.people of Enniskillen are delighted to welcome the Queen and the Duke
:58:14. > :58:20.on this very special Diamond Jubilee visit to Northern Ireland,
:58:20. > :58:26.her first engagement of a two-day visit. We see the official greeting
:58:26. > :58:32.taking place on the tarmac. Lots of people on standby from very early
:58:32. > :58:39.this morning. I passed the airport just shortly after 7 o'clock this
:58:39. > :58:47.morning. The security presence was tight. Last evening people were
:58:47. > :58:52.there, getting ready. The fire tenders being washed to prepare for
:58:53. > :58:57.the special visit. We are back at St Macartin's. The bells are
:58:57. > :59:07.ringing, as I said. A special thanksgiving service taking place
:59:07. > :59:07.
:59:07. > :59:12.today. Let's go inside the cathedral to join Noel. Well, if
:59:12. > :59:17.patience is a virtue, then the 760 people gathered in here are well on
:59:17. > :59:23.their way to paradise. People started arriving, as with all these
:59:23. > :59:26.royal events because of security requirements, people were arriving
:59:26. > :59:32.already at 7 o'clock this morning. Some of them took their seats as
:59:32. > :59:35.early as 7:30am. It has been a long wait. But there has been a genuine
:59:35. > :59:39.sense of anticipation and excitement about the morning. I
:59:39. > :59:44.don't think too many people have been too worried. The Dean has been
:59:44. > :59:49.keeping the congregation well informed about the progress of the
:59:49. > :59:55.royal couple. They have also been able to see pictures on royal
:59:55. > :00:05.television screens of the arrival of the helicopter, so they knew
:00:05. > :00:08.they were on their way. The former Archbishop, Robin Eames, and the
:00:08. > :00:12.First Minister Peter Robinson. This is not really a local congregation.
:00:12. > :00:15.Most of these people had been invited by the Northern Ireland
:00:15. > :00:22.Office. This is seen as a state occasion for Northern Ireland, in
:00:22. > :00:25.some ways. There are people from all over, from all areas of
:00:25. > :00:35.Northern Ireland. People from councils, archbishops, bishops,
:00:35. > :00:43.
:00:43. > :00:51.We will have a service of thanksgiving, as this is being
:00:51. > :01:00.called. The lovely official souvenir programme has the Crown
:01:00. > :01:05.and Elizabeth Regina on the front. It marks the Diamond Jubilee in St
:01:05. > :01:10.Macartin's cathedral in Enniskillen. 760 people gathered here, which is
:01:10. > :01:14.pretty much capacity for the cathedral. I am joined in my
:01:14. > :01:21.commentary box by Canon Noel Battye, a familiar voice to you all from
:01:21. > :01:27.Radio Ulster. Tell us about the cathedral itself. As I was saying
:01:27. > :01:31.earlier, it was originally a parish church, up until 1923. For the
:01:31. > :01:35.first 300 years of its existence it was in fact called St Annes. At
:01:35. > :01:41.that stage, the church had been enlarged and there was a move to
:01:41. > :01:46.making it into a cathedral. It was remarkable because they prepared
:01:46. > :01:50.the way beforehand. They extended the Chancellor, and they said,
:01:51. > :01:55.perhaps if we slip in some stalls, if we ever become a cathedral, they
:01:55. > :02:00.will be there if they are needed. And so on. But when it came to it,
:02:00. > :02:07.this church, which was to become a cathedral, did so, but it did not
:02:07. > :02:17.in fact replace the other one. we have the only Diesis in the
:02:17. > :02:17.
:02:17. > :02:22.Anglian Communion to have two cathedrals? Exactly. So the service
:02:22. > :02:31.will last 45 or 50 minutes. The choir has been specially augmented
:02:31. > :02:36.for this very important day. It has been augmented by a number of adult
:02:36. > :02:41.male voices, which were in particular shortage. They have been
:02:42. > :02:46.gathered in from various musical societies, with a programme of
:02:46. > :02:52.music. The Bishop of the diocese said that this was an immensely
:02:52. > :03:00.important occasion in the life of the diocese. Indeed, in the life of
:03:00. > :03:04.Northern Ireland. He said it was a chance for everyone to follow how
:03:04. > :03:10.the Queen has led, and to thank God for the many gifts of God that he
:03:10. > :03:15.has given her. A very important day. We were at the rehearsal yesterday,
:03:15. > :03:21.which went extremely well, I should say. A genuine sense of
:03:21. > :03:28.anticipation and excitement. Some of the junior members of the choir
:03:28. > :03:34.there. We will also hear from the Chamber Choir of the Royal School
:03:34. > :03:39.in the area. After the service, the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh will go
:03:40. > :03:44.a few steps across the road to St Michael's, where they will meet
:03:44. > :03:50.members of the civic community, I suppose. Business people, people
:03:50. > :03:54.from the voluntary sector, people from schools. Nine of 10 groups of
:03:54. > :03:59.people, all with something important to say. After this
:03:59. > :04:04.service, the Queen will retire for a few minutes to the Deanery, where
:04:04. > :04:08.she will meet representatives of families who died in the
:04:08. > :04:16.Enniskillen bombing. That is a very important occasion for them. A very
:04:16. > :04:20.solemn moment for the Queen and for the families of those victims. The
:04:20. > :04:23.youngest of the people meeting the Queen there will just be 18 years
:04:23. > :04:28.old, and this is the 25th anniversary of the Omagh bombing.
:04:28. > :04:34.The pain passes down generations. The families say that they are very
:04:34. > :04:44.conscious that many people have been affected by violence. They
:04:44. > :04:47.
:04:47. > :04:53.think it is a very important moment Let's see what is happening outside,
:04:53. > :04:57.Sarah? Thank you. All good things come to those who wait. The people
:04:57. > :05:01.behind they have been waiting, just like those inside, since very early
:05:01. > :05:06.this morning to catch their first glimpse of the Queen as she makes
:05:06. > :05:11.her way along Church Street behind him. There they are, the umbrellas
:05:11. > :05:14.are down and the flags are waving. In the shop across the street, I
:05:14. > :05:21.don't know if you can see it, it appears that the Queen is in the
:05:21. > :05:24.window. But I am told it is just a face mask! She seems to be waving.
:05:25. > :05:29.The real Queen touched down with the Duke of Edinburgh at St Angelo
:05:29. > :05:33.airport. There was supposed to be a line-up where she would meet people
:05:33. > :05:38.but because things are running slightly behind schedule, she has
:05:38. > :05:47.now headed straight in the cars. Heading along Church Street, up to
:05:47. > :05:51.the cathedral at St Macartin's, any There were school children at St
:05:51. > :05:56.Angelos, the first to see her as she touched down in Enniskillen.
:05:56. > :06:01.But it would seem that there are plenty of school children out for
:06:01. > :06:06.the day. They couldn't miss this, let off for the day, behind me
:06:06. > :06:12.lining the streets. All ages waiting for the first glimpse of
:06:12. > :06:18.the Queen. We did see that the Queen was met by the Lord
:06:18. > :06:23.Lieutenant of Fermanagh, and Eamonn Phoenix, you are guiding me through
:06:23. > :06:31.the proceedings today. Tell me a bit about the role of the Lord
:06:31. > :06:38.Lieutenant? It's a thing that gos back to the reign of Henry VIII,
:06:38. > :06:45.there were put in place to represent the Crown and to race
:06:45. > :06:49.Yeomanry and militia. So that's continued. The appointees or the
:06:49. > :06:59.appointments were made by the Queen herself. The Earl is due to retire
:06:59. > :07:04.
:07:04. > :07:08.shortly as well? Yes, one of the greatest land holders,. The
:07:08. > :07:14.Fermanagh Castle very much besieged years ago. He will stand down and
:07:14. > :07:19.is due to be replaced by a member of the Brook family. Lord Alan
:07:19. > :07:24.Brook, he'll be a grandson of one of the Prime Ministers of Northern
:07:24. > :07:28.Ireland who is a viscount. We saw scenes earlier for those who
:07:28. > :07:33.joined us earlier this morning from the Princess Elizabeth's visit at
:07:33. > :07:37.the age of 19 in 1946 on this very say same street it would seem. Then
:07:37. > :07:40.they lined the streets and again today, they've come out? Absolutely.
:07:40. > :07:43.She came here as a very young Princess. I think flying for the
:07:43. > :07:47.first time with her parents to Northern Ireland in that post-war
:07:47. > :07:51.visit of 1946, you know. Probably a different occasion today
:07:51. > :07:55.in that it's much more close community and cross community.
:07:55. > :08:00.There is a cross community feel to the crowd, the people in the shops
:08:00. > :08:05.and to the distinguished audience in St Macartin's Cathedral itself
:08:05. > :08:11.this morning. Enniskillen suffered a lot during the Troubles, we all
:08:11. > :08:15.remember the world was shocked in 1987 by the Enniskillen bombing on
:08:15. > :08:18.Remembrance Sunday? Indeed so. We are approaching the 25th
:08:18. > :08:22.anniversary of that tragedy when 12 people died, over 60 people were
:08:22. > :08:25.injured in what was a terrible atrocity here in the town of
:08:25. > :08:29.Enniskillen. We see some of the victims here this morning who may,
:08:30. > :08:35.we understand, be meeting the Queen later on. Indeed they will meet
:08:35. > :08:38.with the Queen in the denery later on this morning.
:08:38. > :08:42.It could be approaching this afternoon now, things slightly
:08:42. > :08:48.delayed. I'm just going to look over my shoulder. Still no sign of
:08:48. > :08:53.the Queen, but the crowds are getting extremely excited. The
:08:53. > :08:58.volume level has gone up. Still they wait, but we hear she is on
:08:59. > :09:03.her way very shortly. Eamonn, if you could just sum up the mood here
:09:04. > :09:07.today, how would you say people are feeling? It's a carnival atmosphere
:09:07. > :09:10.here today. It's building on all the progress we've made in Northern
:09:10. > :09:14.Ireland from the Royal visit last year as well. There's a sense of
:09:14. > :09:19.mutual respect and excitement. A lot of churn and young people are
:09:19. > :09:23.here. A sense of buoyancy and a sense of completing the peace
:09:23. > :09:32.process. -- children and young people. The Queen is just coming
:09:32. > :09:37.into view. We just see the outriders. They're coming ahead, we
:09:37. > :09:42.hope, the Royal cavalcade. One police outrider heading along
:09:42. > :09:48.Church Street. Nothing in view just yet.
:09:48. > :09:56.A lone outrider makes his way along the street. The crowds becoming
:09:56. > :10:06.extremely excited. Just listen to the cheers. They know that Her
:10:06. > :10:06.
:10:06. > :10:11.Majesty is not far away. Indeed, more police riders following,
:10:11. > :10:21.coming into my line of vision at the moment. It would appear that
:10:21. > :10:23.
:10:23. > :10:33.the Queen has finally arrived for this with four outriders this time,
:10:33. > :10:33.
:10:33. > :10:43.heading slowly along Church Street. The time is approaching 11.55. And
:10:43. > :10:46.
:10:46. > :10:54.there we see the police in front of the Land Rovers and the cars, the
:10:54. > :11:00.first car is coming into vision. There are quite a few. There is the
:11:00. > :11:07.Royal standard on the second car. The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh
:11:07. > :11:13.have finally made it to Church Street and St Macartin's Cathedral.

:11:23. > :11:35.
:11:35. > :11:39.to welcome Her Majesty and the Duke So, obviously heavy security for
:11:39. > :11:44.the Queen's visit today. In the lines of cars as well, the people
:11:44. > :11:50.who met her as she arrived at St Angelo Airport.
:11:50. > :11:55.And the flags are waving, the cameras are out. I can see the
:11:55. > :12:04.Queen now. She is in my line of sight looking up to where I'm
:12:04. > :12:08.standing at the moment smiling, waving and the school children are
:12:08. > :12:17.delighted behind me as they catch a glimpse for the first time of the
:12:17. > :12:21.Queen. There we have it, an hour and 15 minutes later than scheduled,

:43:47. > :43:55.before my eyes, and so to rule as I shall be judged to answer before a
:43:55. > :44:03.higher judge. It was in the side and acknowledgement of that same

:44:18. > :44:25.Many of the ideas and values we take for granted in this and other

:44:49. > :44:49.
:44:49. > :44:59.beyond ourselves. Building a future, by its very nature, calls asked to

:45:09. > :45:18.sensitivity to the needs, even the quirks, of ordinary individuals in
:45:18. > :45:24.all their diversity. Legislators, administrators, innovators,
:45:24. > :45:29.entrepreneurs, and shapers of opinion must look beyond themselves
:45:29. > :45:37.and beyond self advantage, electoral, financial or otherwise,
:45:37. > :45:45.to make sure that we build the society with awareness of and
:45:45. > :45:53.reverence for the individual needs of other people. In everything, our
:45:53. > :46:01.Lord said, do to others what you would have them do to you. We have
:46:01. > :46:06.come to call this the golden rule. If, in our society, each member
:46:06. > :46:13.were to become committed to the golden rule, we would have created
:46:13. > :46:21.a community replete with the fruits of justice and peace, a society in
:46:21. > :46:27.which none are marginalised because none are overlooked or ignored. If
:46:27. > :46:35.such an attitude were to become the centrepiece of our community life,
:46:35. > :46:42.how spectacular would be its transformation. Observe the
:46:42. > :46:48.subtlety of the golden rule. Nowhere are we required to agree
:46:48. > :46:56.with one another. Or surrender heart felt aspirations, or
:46:56. > :47:01.principles. We are called upon either to like the unlikeable or
:47:02. > :47:09.tolerate the untolerable. Rather to use ourselves and our own need for
:47:09. > :47:14.consideration, compassion and respect as the benchmark for which
:47:14. > :47:21.we measure the attitudes and behaviour that we deployed towards
:47:21. > :47:26.others. Furthermore, crisis very clear, before we have the temerity

:48:14. > :48:15.
:48:15. > :48:21.do so for one another, this lack of harmony would dissipate like the
:48:21. > :48:29.early mist of morning on the still waters of the loch. Everyone who
:48:29. > :48:37.hears these words of mine and act on them, Jesus said, will be like
:48:37. > :48:46.the wise man who built his house upon the rocks, the rocks of the
:48:46. > :48:56.words and the wisdom of the Son of God. Your Majesty, it is upon that
:48:56. > :49:03.frock that you have built your life and answered every call of duty. --
:49:03. > :49:09.that rock. Queen Elizabeth I and drew her golden speech towards its
:49:09. > :49:17.close with these words. For myself, I was never so much enticed with
:49:17. > :49:20.the glorious name of a King, or the raw authority of the Queen, as
:49:20. > :49:30.delighted that God has made me his instrument to maintain his truth
:49:30. > :49:33.
:49:33. > :49:39.and glory and defend his kingdom. We recognise in Queen Elizabeth II
:49:39. > :49:48.that same deep commitment to defending the faith and maintaining
:49:48. > :49:54.the truth and glory of God. The first Queen Elizabeth continued,
:49:54. > :50:01.and although you have had and may have many princes more mighty and
:50:01. > :50:09.Wise sitting in this seat, yet you never had nor shall have any that
:50:09. > :50:16.will be more careful and loving. In that, the first Queen Elizabeth was
:50:16. > :50:26.mistaken. She did not anticipate the reign of her Elizabethan
:50:26. > :50:27.
:50:27. > :50:37.successor. 60 years of duty, devotion and service, and for that

:01:39. > :01:49.families of victims from the Enniskillen bombing 25 years ago
:01:49. > :01:55.this year. Seven people in that group have
:01:55. > :02:03.relatives of the 12 who died that day. There will be a few very
:02:03. > :02:08.important minutes for them with the Queen who'll then just make her way
:02:08. > :02:12.across to the people who've been waiting, some of them since 4.30
:02:12. > :02:18.this morning! There's one woman who's from Enniskillen. She's been
:02:18. > :02:22.up in her caravan in Portrush for the Irish Open, she came down, back
:02:22. > :02:27.home again for this. After this occasion, she's heading straight
:02:27. > :02:33.back up to Portrush for the rest of the week. People have made a real
:02:34. > :02:37.effort. I spoke to people from Belfast and other areas. I spoke to
:02:37. > :02:41.a woman who had just come back from the Jubilee celebrations in London
:02:42. > :02:51.who also went to Dublin to see the Queen there. So there are people
:02:52. > :02:53.
:02:53. > :03:00.who will go a long way to catch a glimpse of Her Majesty. Not daunted
:03:00. > :03:04.by the weather which has been reasonably kind after the heavy
:03:04. > :03:12.rain which we had for a short time. It's been quiet ever since. So
:03:12. > :03:16.something to give thanks for. And various processions. The choir, the
:03:16. > :03:19.cathedral clergy, the chap tr, the bishops of the Catholic Church, the
:03:19. > :03:22.church of Ireland, the President of the methodist church, the
:03:22. > :03:32.Archbishop of Armargh, the moderator of the Presbyterian
:03:32. > :03:34.
:03:34. > :03:41.church, all return to the chapter room. Across the road at St
:03:41. > :03:43.Michael's Church, there will be a meeting of a number of group who is
:03:43. > :03:47.represent various areas of Fermanagh Society. People
:03:47. > :03:52.representing the management of schools, people representing school
:03:52. > :03:57.pupils, the business interests in the area and people from the
:03:57. > :04:07.farming community, of course vitally important in Fermanagh.
:04:07. > :04:17.People who all have particular interests. The cross makes its way
:04:17. > :04:35.
:04:35. > :04:41.Lord Lieutenant of Ern. Peter Robinson. And the Lords,
:04:41. > :04:46.lieutenants from the other counties of Northern Ireland. We have the
:04:46. > :04:54.Bishop of Clogher, followed by Lord Traynor, followed by the church of
:04:54. > :04:58.Ireland bishops as they go straight across the road to St Michael's. St
:04:58. > :05:06.Michael's was originally built at a level about 40 feet lower. You can
:05:06. > :05:08.just see the front door there. It's just see the front door there. It's
:05:08. > :05:13.French gothic revival style, I'm told. It's built by the architect
:05:13. > :05:23.who built St Peter's Cathedral in Belfast, the one which has been so

:05:37. > :05:47.was finally abandoned in 1867. It was rebuilt in 1875. It could not
:05:47. > :05:47.
:05:48. > :05:53.hold and masonry spire, because of the rock foundations. But one was
:05:53. > :06:03.later added in 1995. It is not a masonry spire, it is a steel
:06:03. > :06:10.
:06:10. > :06:16.So the two churches just a few feet apart. More and more are coming
:06:16. > :06:24.together in fellowship. The Dean and the parish priest have done a
:06:24. > :06:31.lot of work to bring the communities together. They talked
:06:31. > :06:34.of the terrible impact of the Enniskillen bombing. And how it
:06:34. > :06:40.acted in a way as a motivator to improve community relations. It
:06:40. > :06:48.takes a long time to do this, of course. They said they built upon
:06:48. > :06:52.the work of previous bishops. The Roman Catholic Bishop Duffy and
:06:52. > :06:59.Michael Jackson, the church of Ireland Bishop, who did a lot of
:06:59. > :07:09.work to improve community relations. That work has now been carried on
:07:09. > :07:09.
:07:09. > :07:18.here. The Dean is of course the rector, so that is his rectory and
:07:18. > :07:25.his deanery. There are some refreshments available there for
:07:25. > :07:31.the immediate party with the royal couple. But central to the next few
:07:31. > :07:35.minutes, the Queen will have a chance for a little refreshment,
:07:35. > :07:39.but there is that meeting with the seven relatives of victims of the
:07:39. > :07:44.Enniskillen bombing. The Royal Standard, which amazingly arrived
:07:44. > :07:51.at the deanery in a jiffy bag yesterday. I saw it sitting on the
:07:51. > :08:01.hall table. You would expect it to arrive with seven for it men! But
:08:01. > :08:10.it arrived in a Jiffy bag. It is hoisted to its place of honour on
:08:10. > :08:14.the steeple of St Macartin's. Let's rejoin Sarah. Well, the crowds are
:08:14. > :08:19.still lining the streets outside St Macartin's cathedral. Many have
:08:19. > :08:23.been here since the 7 o'clock this morning. Just then, when the Queen
:08:23. > :08:26.and the Duke of Edinburgh made their way from the cathedral to the
:08:26. > :08:32.Deanery, once again they waited and they were rewarded with a brief
:08:32. > :08:38.glimpse of the Queen. She heads into the deanery to meet victims
:08:38. > :08:43.and families of those bereaved in the Enniskillen bombing. I have
:08:43. > :08:48.been joined throughout the service by the historian home in Phoenix.
:08:48. > :08:58.What did you make of the service within the cathedral? -- a month
:08:58. > :08:58.
:08:58. > :09:04.A very definite service, celebrating 60 years of Queen
:09:04. > :09:14.Elizabeth, but also the theme of a diversified and to link up
:09:14. > :09:23.
:09:23. > :09:29.community. We had that her -- address. He spoke in Irish at
:09:29. > :09:39.Dublin Castle last year. He talked about a true Irish peace emerging
:09:39. > :09:44.
:09:44. > :09:53.from this. And this is reinforced by the Presbyterian Moderator and
:09:53. > :09:56.the Cardinal, who thanked God for the rich diversity of our society.
:09:56. > :09:59.We have also been hearing about the reconciliation that was done
:10:00. > :10:06.between the cathedral here and St Michael's parish church across the
:10:07. > :10:13.road. When the Queen has finished in the Deanery, she will head into
:10:13. > :10:18.St Michael's church and she will be greeted by Canon Peter Riley. The
:10:18. > :10:22.bells are ringing in the background. Just to tell you something about
:10:22. > :10:26.another famous bell, it marked the attention to the throne of Queen
:10:27. > :10:31.Elizabeth I, more than four centuries ago. It will be used
:10:31. > :10:41.again tomorrow to mark the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II, when
:10:41. > :10:41.
:10:41. > :10:47.she visits Belfast of course. It weighs the best part of a turn. --
:10:47. > :10:52.ton. What is the connection between the St Bartholomew church in South
:10:52. > :11:01.Belfast and two Queen Elizabeths on the throne? The answer lies up
:11:01. > :11:06.there in the bell tower. The St Barts bell was originally one of
:11:06. > :11:13.eight at St Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin. It was recast in 6095. When
:11:13. > :11:22.the cathedral was replaced, it was donated to this church in the 1930s.
:11:22. > :11:25.-- it was recast in 16 at 95. It has been ringing for centuries.
:11:25. > :11:33.rang in 69 th at the occasion of the session to the throne of
:11:33. > :11:38.Elizabeth I. -- 1648. It was run in the victory over the Spanish, it
:11:38. > :11:46.was wrong after the Battle of the Boyne and it was wrong during Lord
:11:46. > :11:54.Nelson's campaign. It then chimed again in 1952 at the accession to
:11:54. > :11:59.the throne of Queen Elizabeth II. To mark the Diamond Jubilee and a
:11:59. > :12:06.visit to Northern Ireland, the bell will ring again on Wednesday, when
:12:06. > :12:10.the Queen is being shown around the Titanic Quarter of the city.
:12:10. > :12:17.Of course the people are still waiting to see the Queen at she
:12:17. > :12:27.leaves the Deanery. She will be meeting with the victims of the
:12:27. > :12:31.Enniskillen bombing. Of the sunshine has just come out and
:12:31. > :12:36.people are waving their flags. People are hanging out of office
:12:36. > :12:41.windows, not much work being done in Enniskillen today. Everything
:12:41. > :12:46.overran by an hour and 15 minutes due to the weather. But the Queen
:12:46. > :12:51.eventually made it here. We have that service of thanksgiving this
