Michael loved fame but never used to it. To be a part of peoples lives as | :01:13. | :01:18. | |
an artist, that's what I dream of and grateful for. -- what I dream | :01:19. | :01:26. | |
of, and I'm still grateful for. But, my God, I wish I could cope with the | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
other stuff the way that other people do. I wish I had been born | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
with that suit of armour, because I wasn't. | :01:35. | :01:40. | |
# Not everybody has got a body like you | :01:41. | :01:45. | |

Oxfordshire this afternoon. They confirmed he had died at the scene. | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
They say they are treating it as unexplained but not suspicious. That | :02:44. | :02:47. | |

You know, we only saw him a few months ago, looking pale and hearty. | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
You've got to remember what an extraordinary figure he is. I was | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
just thinking to myself that it's more than 30 years ago that he as a | :03:03. | :03:10. | |
teenager was on Top Of The Pops with those songs, making me feel very | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
old. For somebody who was one of these pop stars, seemingly one of | :03:16. | :03:18. | |

at Sandringham church, While other members of her family | :04:02. | :04:02. | |
including the Duke of Edinburgh attended, the Queen remained | :04:03. | :04:09. | |
at Sandringham House, continuing to recover | :04:10. | :04:11. | |
from what Buckingham Palace has As they left church | :04:12. | :04:13. | |
after the service, The Queen's absence is understood | :04:14. | :04:18. | |

of this year's Christmas broadcast by the Queen, | :04:38. | :04:45. | |
which was recorded at She cited the achievement of Olympic | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
and Paralympic athletes, and she said she also found | :04:50. | :04:58. | |
inspiration from daily life. I often draw strength from meeting | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
ordinary people doing extraordinary things - | :05:02. | :05:03. | |
volunteers, carers, community organisers | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
and good neighbours, unsung heroes whose quiet | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
dedication makes them special. She recalled that this had been | :05:12. | :05:18. | |
the year of her 90th birthday and paid tribute to the inspiring | :05:19. | :05:20. | |

of thousands of small acts of goodness can be | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
bigger than we imagine. Her own life, she said, | :05:49. | :05:53. | |

although unusually indisposed this Christmas, shows little sign | :06:06. | :06:12. | |
of yielding to the passage of years. For the Queen this year, | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
there has been that significant 90th birthday and some lightening | :06:18. | :06:19. | |
of her workload, but there is no expectation whatsoever | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
that she will step away from the core duties of her role | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
as monarch and head of state. Nicholas Witchell, BBC News | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
at Buckingham Palace. A major operation is under way | :06:33. | :06:37. | |

he boarded the plane. The aircraft crashed | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
into the Black Sea. The Russians scrambled | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
helicopters and ships, but the search became | :07:12. | :07:13. | |
a recovery operation. The plane had taken off from | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
a military airfield near Moscow. It flew south, stopping | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
in Sochi to refuel. The final destination was Syria, | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
and Russia's airbase near Latakia. But minutes after leaving | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
Sochi, it crashed. President Putin offered his | :07:32. | :07:38. | |
condolences to the families of the victims and promised | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
them his full support. On board were more than 60 members | :07:42. | :07:45. | |

Russia stunned and silent. The Kremlin has promised a thorough | :08:22. | :08:29. | |
investigation into this tragedy. It's also declared tomorrow a day | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
of national mourning. The Archbishop of Canterbury, | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
Justin Welby, says 2016 has left the world with more | :08:37. | :08:43. | |

sermon at Canterbury Cathedral. Meanwhile, Pope Francis has called | :08:48. | :08:50. | |

Martin Bashir, reports. Entering Canterbury Cathedral | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
in time-honoured fashion, Justin Welby focused his | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
Christmas Day sermon on the uncertainty and division that | :09:00. | :09:01. | |
has marked both domestic and international politics | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
over the last year. The end of 2016 finds us | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
all in a different kind of world. One less predictable and certain, | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
which feels more awash He went on to suggest | :09:15. | :09:17. | |
that our anxiety is a clear sign that placing our trust in material | :09:18. | :09:24. | |
prosperity has failed. The uncertainty of our world, | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
of our feelings, tells us that our In Rome, where additional | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
