Tonight at 10, a shareholders' strike again, this time at the | :00:11. | :00:16. | |
world's biggest advertising company. Sir Martin Schultz, the boss of WPP, | :00:16. | :00:21. | |
was meant to get a �6.8 billion deal, but the investors said no in | :00:21. | :00:26. | |
one of the biggest shareholders revolt so far. -- Sir Martin | :00:26. | :00:31. | |
Sorrell. He has to realise that shareholders, including pension | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
funds, own the majority of his company, and their views as to what | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
he is worth are the most important thing when it comes to his pay. | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
will be asking about government plans to give shareholders more | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
power. Also tonight, Rebekah Brooks, | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
former head of News International, appears in court on charges related | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
to phone-hacking. Jeremy Hunt is accused of | :00:53. | :00:58. | |
dishonesty over his handling of the bid for BSkyB. He has lied to | :00:58. | :01:03. | |
Parliament! There is a huge difference between misleading | :01:03. | :01:08. | |
Parliament inadvertently and lying. The Premier League sells its live | :01:08. | :01:14. | |
television rights for more than �3 billion to Sky and BT. | :01:14. | :01:19. | |
And a personal Jubilee tribute to the Queen from Prince William. | :01:20. | :01:23. | |

Good evening. Shareholders in the world's biggest advertising company, | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
WPP, have voted against a big pay rise for chief executive Sir Martin | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
Sorrell whose salary and benefits deal amounted to �6.8 billion, a | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
rise of 60%. It is the latest instance of shareholders approving | :02:08. | :02:14. | |
-- opposing controversial rises, but the vote is not binding. | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
It has been dubbed the shareholders' spring, protests | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
against directors' pay, and the package for Bob Diamond and others | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
Barclays bars has triggered a "no" vote of a quarter of shareholders, | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
Trinity Mirror's Sly Bailey quit before nearly half the shareholders | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
voted against pay plans. Andrew Moss of have either resigned after | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
a majority gave the thumbs down to his pay. Now Sir Martin Sorrell, | :02:40. | :02:47. | |
who runs WPP, is on the wrong end of a shareholder revolt. Nearly 60% | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
of shareholders voted against pay awards for Sir Martin and his | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
boardroom colleagues. He has built the company into a world leader, | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
producing adverts for household names, including Virgin Atlantic. | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
He would not comment on the vote, which is not binding on the company. | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
Last year he defended a big increase in his pay and bonuses. | :03:06. | :03:12. | |
You have got to look at fixed pay and incentives, short-term and | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
long-term, and the investment that I continue to make in the company | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
and have done for 26 years. Go back to 2009, there was a substantial | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
reduction. Company profits were up nearly 20% last year, but critics | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
at the meeting today argued that Sir Martin's rewards were not | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
justified. He has to realise that shareholders, including pension | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
funds, own the majority of this company. He owns less than 2% now, | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
so their views as to what his work are the most important thing when | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
it comes to his pay. There has been increasing criticism of the gap | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
between bosses pay deals and the rest of the workforce. Sir Martin | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
Sorrell's controversial package was up 60% on the year, bringing the | :03:54. | :04:00. | |
proposed total pay package to �6.8 million. The average pay deal for a | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
pause in the FTSE 100 Group of leading companies was up 11%, but | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
employees of UK firms enjoyed an increase of just 1.1% over the year. | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
Labour has urged the Business Secretary, Vince Cable, to give | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
shareholders greater powers to influence boardroom pay awards. | :04:18. | :04:25. | |
Vince Cable should empower those investors who were active in these | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
issues by implementing the proposals the Government put | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
forward of having binding shareholder votes on remuneration | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
policy. The shareholder spring has seen high-profile bosses facing | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
intensifying protests over pay. Sir Martin Sorrell is unlikely to be | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
the last, with company owners seemingly determined to make their | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
voices heard. How does this boat play into the | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
wider debate about the power of shareholders? There will be a lot | :04:52. | :04:58. | |
of soul-searching about WPP. This is a humiliating vote, and it may | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
well have to reconsider many aspects of his pay and the board in | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
the run-up to next year's vote. The chairman and another director | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
responsible for the pay policies may well even consider their | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
positions. The bigger picture is, what is the Government going to do | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
about it? Ministers led by Vince Cable want to come up with plans to | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
give shareholders more powers, binding votes, now Labour want | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
those votes to be every year, a binding vote, not an advisory one, | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
like now. There had been reports that Vince Cable has been lobbied | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
to go for a vote every three years. We do not know what will happen | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
with that, but we will end a couple of weeks' time when ministers come | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
up with their plans, and it is a time when shareholders are really | :05:41. | :05:49. | |
finding their voice. Rebekah Brooks, the former head of | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
News International, has appeared in court for the first time and | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
charges relating to the phone hacking scandal. Mrs Brooks, who | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
resigned last July, is accused of plotting to conceal documents, | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
computers and other material from investigating officers. She | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
appeared with her husband and four others, as home affairs | :06:06. | :06:12. | |
correspondent Tom Symonds reports. Once she directed the attention of | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
reporters and photographers, but this morning they were shouting end | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
game. She arrived at court. Rebekah Brooks was accompanied by her | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
husband Charlie, here on her left. He is also facing charges, along | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
with Cheryl Carter, her personal assistant, Mark Hanna, the | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
company's head of security, Paul Edwards, a chauffeur, and Daryl | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
Jorsling, a freelance security man. They sat in the dock, the former | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
national newspaper editor flanked by those who used to make up her | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
inner circle. They face prison if found guilty. Please will come at a | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
later date. It was a hearing lasting just eight minutes, during | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
which Rebekah Brooks spoke only to confirm her name and date of birth. | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
She heard that the case will now be passed to Southwark Crown Court for | :07:02. | :07:09. | |
a hearing on the 22nd June. The allegations are centred on the | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
period last summer when Rupert Murdoch flew into Britain as the | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
phone-hacking crisis spiralled out of control. On the 15th July, | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
Rebekah Brooks resigned as chief executive of News International, | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
but around this time it is alleged she and various defendants | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
conspired to conceal documents, computers and other electronic | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
devices from the police, at two permanently remove seven boxes of | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
material from the News International archive. Two days | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
later, she was arrested by officers investigating phone-hacking and | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
corruption, but it was not until March this year that she was | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
arrested again in contention with concealing evidence. She was | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
charged with conspiracy to pervert the course of justice. | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
The defendants have all been given bail on the condition that apart | :07:57. | :08:02. | |
from Mrs Brooks and her husband they do not communicate. | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
The Culture Secretary has been accused by Labour of lying to | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
Parliament over his handling of the Murdoch bid for BSkyB. Jeremy Hunt | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
said the allegations against him were disgraceful and he survived an | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
attempt by the opposition to force an official investigation. Labour | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
alleges that mist and broke the Ministerial Code and deliberately | :08:21. | :08:28. | |
misled Parliament. -- Mr Hunt. James Landale reports. | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
Partners in collision, united in government, today David Cameron and | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
Nick Clegg were divided over whether the culture secretary, | :08:34. | :08:39. | |
Jeremy Hunt, broke ministerial rules when he considered News | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
Corporation's bid for BSkyB. down by your deputy? Well, perhaps. | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
Nick Clegg once Jeremy Hunt to be investigated, but the Prime | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
Minister had a secret weapon in his pocket, a letter from his | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
independent adviser on the Ministerial Code, in which he said | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
that there was nothing he could usefully add to the Leveson Inquiry. | :08:59. | :09:05. | |
No wonder the Culture Secretary was smiling. The point is that it is | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
for the adviser and ministerial standards to discover the facts, | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
for the Prime Minister to make the judgment. My judgment is we should | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
let the Culture Secretary get on with organising the most important | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
event, which is the Olympics. Labour said the case was so strong, | :09:18. | :09:24. | |
why would the Lib Dem supporting him in the vote? It was the prime | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
minister who decided to appoint the Culture Secretary to oversee the | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
bid, and it is the prime minister who is clinging onto him in the | :09:31. | :09:36. | |
face of all the evidence. Labour's charge is that Mr Hunt broke the | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
Ministerial Code failed to give accurate information to Parliament | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
and failed to take responsibility for the conduct of his special | :09:42. | :09:47. | |
adviser who got too close to a Murdoch a lobbyist. With his | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
Cabinet colleagues alongside, he said it was a disgraceful | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
allegation that he had misled Parliament. If I had a plan, some | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
grand scheme that was going to deliver BSkyB to News Corp, why | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
would I say that I'm going to ask independent regulators, whose | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
advice I have absolutely no control over, I was going to ask for their | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
opinion? One Labour MP said something no MP has ever been | :10:10. | :10:17. | |
allowed to say before. He has lied to Parliament! Furious Tories | :10:17. | :10:22. | |
pointed and stamped their feet in protest, because calling someone a | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
lie in Parliament is against the rules, but incredibly the Speaker | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
said he would allow it. I wish to draw the house's attention to the | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
very important distinction between inadvertently misleading this house | :10:34. | :10:40. | |
and lying. In the end, despite the Lib Dems abstaining, to the fury of | :10:40. | :10:46. | |
Tory MPs, Jeremy Hunt won the vote, but Nick Clegg conceded that the | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
Culture Secretary had handled the BSkyB bid fairly. On the specific | :10:50. | :10:56. | |
point about how we handled the bid, I think he has given a full, good | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
and convincing account to the inquiry. This has been an | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
extraordinary day. A Cabinet minister called a liar in | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
Parliament for the first time, a coalition divided over that | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
ministers' conduct, and more pressure on the Prime Minister, who | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
tonight is preparing to give his side of the story to the Leveson | :11:14. | :11:19. | |
Inquiry. The skin Iraq, more than 80 people | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
have died and almost 300 have been injured in a way of attacks across | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
the country. Three bombs exploded in Kirkuk and there were at least | :11:26. | :11:31. | |
10 incidents in Baghdad. The violence makes it the deadliest day | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
in the country since US troops withdrew last year. | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
A 15-year-old boy has been jailed for a minimum of 10 and a half | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
years for the murder of a student who had asked him to stop throwing | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
conkers. The poor cannot be named for legal reasons. The victim, | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
Steven Grisales, 21, was stabbed in Edmonton in north London last | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
August. The judge said he was a gifted student and an outstanding | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
human being in many ways. The economy is in recession, but | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
that does not seem to be affecting the market for sports rights. The | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
Premier League has sold their live television rights for more than �3 | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
billion, an increase of more than �1 billion on the previous deal. | :12:10. | :12:15. | |
Sky will continue to show most of the games from 20th August 13, but | :12:15. | :12:23. | |
for the first time BT has secured rights, too. -- August 2013. He has | :12:23. | :12:28. | |
got it through, it is Sergio Aguero! Not a bad time to launch a | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
battle for TV rights, now the madcap excitement of the last day | :12:31. | :12:36. | |
of the season seems to have swept through the bidding process. Gone | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
for an astonishing �3 billion. are pleased, and we are not just | :12:40. | :12:46. | |
pleased but surprised. Again, it is a measure, really, of how the great | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
league and the competition that the clubs put on his value. But could | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
this amount of cash from Sky and new boys British Telecom's new | :12:53. | :12:58. | |
football further towards those at the top of the game? It is divided | :12:58. | :13:03. | |
equitably between our own clubs and other organisations, including | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
clubs lower down the league. I'm not going to shy away from the fact | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
that the majority of money that football generates is invested in | :13:10. | :13:20. | |
:13:20. | :13:23. | ||
playing talent, because that is Sky and ESPN previously bought the | :13:23. | :13:30. | |
rights to show 138 games. From 2013 Sky and BT will be buying the | :13:30. | :13:36. | |
rights to 154 games a season. There is no question that the | :13:36. | :13:41. | |
Premier League has attracted so much foreign investment, so many of | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
the top foreign players, so many of the top foreign managers that it's | :13:45. | :13:50. | |
become truly a global proposition. One direct effect is likely to be | :13:50. | :13:59. | |
on the wages of top players. Their pay could go into orbit! Could | :13:59. | :14:04. | |
these fans end up paying more to watch Premier League football? | :14:04. | :14:12. | |
pay a lot of money, but it is only going to go up. If Sky are paying | :14:12. | :14:17. | |
more, you will have to pay more. With all this money, the Premier | :14:17. | :14:22. | |
League will attract the world's leading talent. | :14:22. | :14:28. | |
The question is whether the rest of football will benefit, or be left | :14:28. | :14:34. | |
gasping in its wake? Coming up: The Egyptian women | :14:34. | :14:39. | |
fighting for their rights ahead of the country's landmark presidential | :14:39. | :14:47. | |
elections. Britain's banks could cope with the | :14:47. | :14:52. | |
effect of a Greek exit from the eurozone, according to Hector Sants. | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
In a BBC interview, he warned things would get far more serious | :14:56. | :15:06. | |
:15:06. | :15:09. | ||
if Italy's ability to repay its debts were affected. | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
Greece, a general election on Sunday that many think could be the | :15:13. | :15:18. | |
trigger for the country to leave the euro, which would cause | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
financial shockwaves across Europe, all the way to Britain. How badly | :15:22. | :15:29. | |
would the UK be damaged? Well, Hector Sants, outgoing boss of the | :15:29. | :15:35. | |
Financial Services Authority, is paid to know. There is obviously a | :15:35. | :15:41. | |
risk that the eurozone crisis gets worse before it gets better. How | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
damaged would British banks be in those circumstances? In terms of | :15:44. | :15:52. | |
the first order effect of euro exit of the most obvious candidates, we | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
believe the UK banks are set up to deal with that problem and they | :15:56. | :16:01. | |
could manage that problem. Certainly, obviously, if you had | :16:01. | :16:07. | |
problems that spread into Italy and beyond, then eventually the knock- | :16:07. | :16:13. | |
on effect of those problems would affect the UK banks. Two years ago, | :16:13. | :16:18. | |
British banks had made �10 billion of loans in Greece. That's been cut | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
to less than �7 billion. If the banks never got back say half of | :16:22. | :16:30. | |
that, it would be painful but not disastrous. The problem is the | :16:30. | :16:39. | |
crisis has already spread well beyond Greece. Bang, fireworks, | :16:39. | :16:44. | |
launched by protesters at the police in Spain mired in recession. | :16:44. | :16:50. | |
The other sound is of Spanish banks cracking under the weight of their | :16:50. | :16:56. | |
bad debt. The answer is to centralise government, but this | :16:56. | :17:03. | |
could be tricky for Britain. solution to the eurozone crisis | :17:03. | :17:08. | |
does require a greater integration of Europe, so we are potentially, | :17:08. | :17:13. | |
if that is what happens, moving into a very unstable environment in | :17:13. | :17:16. | |
relation to the regulatory structure in the UK. No, I think we | :17:16. | :17:23. | |
are at the tipping point whereby the current approach to European | :17:23. | :17:29. | |
regulation for a non-eurozone country could well not be workable | :17:29. | :17:39. | |
:17:39. | :17:40. | ||
in the future. The shocks will be financial and political. | :17:40. | :17:46. | |
Alex Salmond, the First Minister of Scotland, has accused The Observer | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
newspaper of accessing his bank account. He told the Leveson | :17:50. | :17:53. | |
Inquiry that the claim had come from one of the paper's former | :17:53. | :17:57. | |
reporters. He was asked about his support for Rupert Murdoch and the | :17:57. | :18:05. | |
bid for BSkyB. Alex Salmond has been cast as a | :18:05. | :18:09. | |
player in this drama, but was he a victim? He told the inquiry that | :18:09. | :18:15. | |
his phone had not been hacked but he cited another example. I believe | :18:15. | :18:24. | |
that my bank account was accessed by The Observer newspaper some time | :18:24. | :18:32. | |
ago, in 1999. The Observer say it has been able to find any | :18:32. | :18:37. | |
supporting evidence. If we look at News International... The Inquiry | :18:37. | :18:42. | |
turned to News International. The Sun warned that voting SNP would | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
amount to putting Scotland's head in a noose at the Holyrood | :18:46. | :18:52. | |
elections in 2007. Four years later, they declared, "Play it again, | :18:52. | :18:58. | |
Salm" backing a second term for the SNP. Mr Salmond's rivals accuse him | :18:58. | :19:03. | |
of a squalid deal, backing Rupert Murdoch's bid for BSkyB in return | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
for the Sun backing the Nationalists. News Corporation is a | :19:08. | :19:13. | |
big employer in Scotland. Alex Salmond says his only interest in | :19:13. | :19:23. | |
intervening was to defend Scottish jobs. Rupert Murdoch later tweeted: | :19:23. | :19:28. | |
"Alex Salmond was the most brilliant politician in the UK." | :19:28. | :19:33. | |
Challenged by Robert Jay QC, Mr Salmond denied cutting a deal. His | :19:33. | :19:39. | |
focus was 6,000 BSkyB jobs in Scotland. The two things weren't | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
connected in that way. When the time was right and appropriate to | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
do so, I was prepared to make the case that jobs and investment | :19:46. | :19:55. | |
should be considered as a valid factor. Alex Salmond's critics say | :19:55. | :20:02. | |
today's evidence must not get over the fact that he remained a | :20:02. | :20:08. | |
supporter of Rupert Murdoch long after the phone-hacking scandal had | :20:08. | :20:13. | |
broken. Three water companies in southern | :20:13. | :20:18. | |
and eastern England are ending their hosepipe bans from tomorrow. | :20:18. | :20:21. | |
Anglian Water, Southern Water and Thames Water imposed the | :20:21. | :20:25. | |
restrictions after the dry winter. Record rainfall in April, more rain | :20:25. | :20:28. | |
in May and June, that has changed their calculations. Four other | :20:28. | :20:34. | |
companies are keeping their bans in place. | :20:34. | :20:37. | |
Egypt is just days away from the conclusion of the first | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
presidential election since the downfall of Hosni Mubarak, whose | :20:40. | :20:44. | |
stay in power spanned four decades. Two candidates competing to replace | :20:45. | :20:52. | |
him are his former prime minister and an Islamist candidate from the | :20:52. | :21:02. | |
:21:02. | :21:04. | ||
Muslim Brotherhood. Egypt's Pyramids used to be a | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
4,000-year-old money-making machine. Now the hawkers outnumber the | :21:07. | :21:14. | |
tourists. The camels lie around waiting for riders who don't come. | :21:14. | :21:18. | |
For Hasan and Miki, things have never been worse. What do you need | :21:18. | :21:27. | |
for the new government? I want tourists to come. The question | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
Egyptians face is which presidential candidate is more | :21:31. | :21:41. | |
:21:41. | :21:44. | ||
likely to bring that stability. Ahmed Shafiq or Mohammed Mursi? | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
This election is now going to be decided by what people here call | :21:48. | :21:52. | |
the party of the couch, the millions of Egyptians who didn't | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
join the revolution, don't like Mubarak and the old regime, but | :21:56. | :21:59. | |
aren't supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood either. These people | :21:59. | :22:04. | |
don't like either of the candidates who are on offer. So what are they | :22:04. | :22:12. | |
going to do? Yasir will vote for the Muslim Brotherhood because | :22:12. | :22:17. | |
voting for Ahmed Shafiq would be, he says, a betrayal of the | :22:17. | :22:23. | |
revolution. He comes with his cuptive friends. If I have to | :22:23. | :22:31. | |
choose -- corruptive friends. If I have to choose, I will go for the | :22:31. | :22:36. | |
devil. Across town, Rami is teaching Egyptian women to defend | :22:36. | :22:41. | |
themselves. Street crime has soared here. For that reason, she will | :22:41. | :22:48. | |
reluctantly vote for the military man, Shafiq. You have to choose the | :22:48. | :22:54. | |
least of the two evils. What is that? The military. Last year, it | :22:54. | :22:59. | |
was young Egyptians who took to the street to depose Mubarak. Now? Are | :22:59. | :23:09. | |
:23:09. | :23:09. | ||
you going to vote in the election? No, I don't. You don't? I don't. I | :23:09. | :23:16. | |
can't vote. For the tourists to come back, Egypt needs stability. | :23:16. | :23:21. | |
The danger is Egypt will elect a President most people don't like | :23:21. | :23:29. | |
and the majority have not voted for. That won't be good for anyone here. | :23:29. | :23:32. | |
Chelsea have appointed their caretaker manager, Roberto Di | :23:32. | :23:37. | |
Matteo, as their full-time manager on a two-year contract. He guided | :23:37. | :23:42. | |
Chelsea to victory in the FA Cup and the Champions League and he | :23:42. | :23:46. | |
succeeds Andre Villas-Boas. The Duke of Cambridge joined the | :23:46. | :23:51. | |
Queen on the latest stage of her Diamond Jubilee tour in Nottingham. | :23:51. | :23:53. | |
Prince William paid tribute to his grandmother's extraordinary | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
devotion to the people of the UK and the Commonwealth. The Queen | :23:56. | :24:00. | |
will be celebrating her official birthday at the ceremony of | :24:00. | :24:08. | |
Trooping the Colour this weekend. She's continuing on her Jubilee | :24:08. | :24:12. | |
travels but without her husband. The rest of the family is rallying | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
around. Today, the Queen was joined by Prince William and the Duchess | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
of Cambridge on a visit to Nottingham. Thousands of people had | :24:20. | :24:29. | |
:24:30. | :24:31. | ||
come out to greet the Queen, accompanied by William and | :24:31. | :24:36. | |
Catherine there was a walkability. On the balcony, a familiar figure | :24:36. | :24:42. | |
waving. Then, in a local park, the Queen named one of the playing | :24:42. | :24:49. | |
fields will be a permanent legacy of this Jubilee. Prince William is | :24:49. | :24:54. | |
the Patron of the Playing Fields Initiative. He paid his own tribute | :24:54. | :24:59. | |
to his grandmother. How grateful we all are to you for the | :24:59. | :25:02. | |
extraordinary devotion and love you have shown to the people of this | :25:02. | :25:10. | |
country and the Commonwealth. set... William went off to start a | :25:10. | :25:15. | |
race leaving the Queen with the family's newest member. | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
Conversation seemed to flow, everyone seemed relaxed. If there | :25:19. | :25:22. | |
is any concern about the Duke of Edinburgh's health, it was not | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
apparent. It is ten days since the Duke was taken ill. The hope is | :25:26. | :25:31. | |
that he will be able to join the Queen for her Official Birthday | :25:31. | :25:35. | |
Parade Trooping the Colour on Saturday. The Queen will certainly | :25:35. | :25:39. | |
hope he will be there. The Duke will want to be there. Equally, the | :25:39. | :25:46. | |
Queen will not want to risk her husband's recovery. | :25:46. | :25:50. | |
