:00:32. > :00:40.remembered to Dave. In Guernsey the lights have
:00:41. > :00:43.The thousands of Channel Islanders who lost their lives in World War
:00:44. > :00:46.People across the Islands have been asked to switch off all
:00:47. > :00:49.but one light at home tonight to remember those who fought.
:00:50. > :00:51.In Guernsey the lights have been switched off
:00:52. > :00:56.In St Peter Port the church bell was rung throughout the day in honour
:00:57. > :01:00.The Town Church bell tolled 1,470 times today.
:01:01. > :01:02.Once for each of the Bailiwick men that lost
:01:03. > :01:07.It struck me that one could toll a bell 1,470 times and I played with
:01:08. > :01:12.the idea and worked out that if you did it every 20 seconds it would
:01:13. > :01:20.take all day, all the working day, and I thought that would be a chance
:01:21. > :01:27.for everybody to notice it. It is quite an appropriate way to just
:01:28. > :01:38.remind people and remember and commemorate what they did for us.
:01:39. > :01:41.And another chance to remember and reflect today.
:01:42. > :01:48.At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them.
:01:49. > :01:53.I think it is good for us to remember the massive sacrifice that
:01:54. > :01:57.those families made and not only that, the fact that Guernsey itself
:01:58. > :02:01.lost nearly 1,500 young men and that made a significant
:02:02. > :02:08.I encourage you when you look on the war memorial
:02:09. > :02:14.like we will do in a moment, to focus on just one of those names.
:02:15. > :02:16.Then remind yourself that all of that life
:02:17. > :02:24.Henry Thomas de Jersey was my grandfather and he was 28 years
:02:25. > :02:31.old and he had five children and he left my grandmother widow.
:02:32. > :02:35.There were not many streets or parishes that were not affected
:02:36. > :02:38.by the bereavement of men lost and it was a big hole
:02:39. > :02:45.And today's a chance for us all to remember that.
:02:46. > :03:02.100 years on from when war was declared.
:03:03. > :03:05.Around 2,000 people have gathered in Jersey's Royal Square this
:03:06. > :03:07.evening for a ceremony and parade to remember the 100th anniversary
:03:08. > :03:18.have you ever seen the Royal Square looking like this? Months of
:03:19. > :03:23.preparation came together this evening to mark 100 years since the
:03:24. > :03:27.First World War was declared. The islanders will sit in these rows
:03:28. > :03:32.behind me including dignitaries like the bailiffs on the left turning
:03:33. > :03:39.governor and the UK minister who has responsibility for the Channel
:03:40. > :03:46.Islands and their relationship with the United Kingdom. What is
:03:47. > :03:49.happening tonight? This is a combination of ceremonial and
:03:50. > :03:53.creativity with a full production behind this event this evening and
:03:54. > :03:58.it will be a combination of music, lights, readings, speeches, the
:03:59. > :04:02.learning offerings and a service against `` service as well so there
:04:03. > :04:08.is a better for everybody. It will be very emotive and we were chosen
:04:09. > :04:13.pieces to link Guernsey and Jersey very closely with World I and there
:04:14. > :04:18.will be some images that put Jersey right at the heart of World War I in
:04:19. > :04:22.terms of the commitments it made and the servicemen who served and those
:04:23. > :04:26.who made the ultimate sacrifice. Thank you. A key part of this
:04:27. > :04:36.evening will be a lantern procession that will have dozens of islanders
:04:37. > :04:39.from each parish in Jersey. I am toward water noting the lantern
:04:40. > :04:46.procession. What will happen tonight? We have 12 people from each
:04:47. > :04:51.parish so that is 144 in total. Ten people will be carrying these
:04:52. > :04:54.lanterns which will be illuminated and Beowulf violin in a procession
:04:55. > :05:02.in the Royal Square at a given time and the constables will lay wreaths
:05:03. > :05:10.during the ceremony. `` and they will file in in a procession. There
:05:11. > :05:12.will be also a minute's silence to mark the exact moment that the First
:05:13. > :05:14.World War was declared. Jersey is giving ?120,000 to help
:05:15. > :05:17.those affected by the violence Hundreds have been killed
:05:18. > :05:19.and thousands injured in Israel and the Gaza strip
:05:20. > :05:23.since violence escalated in July. The Jersey Overseas Aid Commission
:05:24. > :05:24.has approved a ?30,000 grant to each of the four
:05:25. > :05:31.charities Christian Aid, the British Many athletes from Guernsey
:05:32. > :05:38.and Jersey have of made their way home today after the Commonwealth
:05:39. > :05:43.Games came to a close last night. Almost 80 athletes from the
:05:44. > :05:45.Channel Islands competed in the Glasgow Games, some for the first
:05:46. > :05:48.time and others for the last time. Sadly no medals are being brought
:05:49. > :05:51.home, but what do the Islands need to do to break the medal drought
:05:52. > :06:08.that's lasted for over 20 years? Spectators filled the streets of
:06:09. > :06:13.Glasgow for one of the last events of the Commonwealth Games, the
:06:14. > :06:19.men's Road race. Two cyclists from Jersey and six from Guernsey were
:06:20. > :06:22.competing among the 140 strong race. It was a technically difficult
:06:23. > :06:28.course for the riders but the heavy rain made it worse. Slippery
:06:29. > :06:34.conditions caused many cyclists to crash including James McLauchlan
:06:35. > :06:38.from Jersey. By the night flap Tobyn Horton was the only Channel Islander
:06:39. > :06:42.left and it made it harder to compete and heeded not finish the
:06:43. > :06:47.race. I was trying to position myself well but it is hard when you
:06:48. > :06:51.are a small ratio `` nation and you have the other countries riding well
:06:52. > :06:56.with teams and you end up getting pushed to the back. Being a single
:06:57. > :07:00.Guernsey person up there it is pretty tough trying to hold your
:07:01. > :07:05.own. There was also disappointment on the netball court. Serena Guthrie
:07:06. > :07:10.was playing 14 England. After losing by just one point in the last two
:07:11. > :07:13.seconds of their semifinal match against New Zealand they faced
:07:14. > :07:19.Jamaica in the bronze medal play`off. It was a close game but
:07:20. > :07:24.Jamaica won the match. Although disappointed not to win a medal,
:07:25. > :07:29.Serena Guthrie was pleased to be a part of team England. It is nice,
:07:30. > :07:33.every athlete in team England and every other team will be flying the
:07:34. > :07:37.flag for where they come from on where they have grown up so I am
:07:38. > :07:44.just pleased to do it for Jersey. There was more need to be done
:07:45. > :07:48.before the next Commonwealth Games? Every time we see the level of
:07:49. > :07:53.competition increase and improve. We look at that at each Games at the
:07:54. > :07:58.qualification standards that we set out we will review it for 2018 and
:07:59. > :08:04.we are aware that we will have two increase our standards again. As
:08:05. > :08:07.team jersey, if we can improve the preparation and the lifestyle of
:08:08. > :08:14.athletes and their whole attitude to sport then perhaps the athletes for
:08:15. > :08:19.us will be a bit stronger and better organised because a lot of those
:08:20. > :08:24.things can give us better results. As the Commonwealth Games close,
:08:25. > :08:30.preparations begin for the next one in 2018. We'll Jersey and Guernsey
:08:31. > :08:31.be able to bring a medal of any colour back from Australia's Gold
:08:32. > :08:35.Coast? Jersey's Under 19 cricket
:08:36. > :08:37.team have been promoted to The island side won all four of
:08:38. > :08:42.their matches against runners`up the Netherlands, Denmark, Guernsey and
:08:43. > :08:44.Italy in ICC Europe Division Two. As well as promotion to
:08:45. > :08:47.ICC Europe Division One, Jersey now also have the opportunity to qualify
:08:48. > :08:55.for the Under`19 Cricket World Cup. The team behind one of the
:08:56. > :08:57.Channel Islands longest running carnival week is looking for a new
:08:58. > :09:00.committee to organise the event. Alderney Week has been running
:09:01. > :09:04.since 1948, but those in charge want One
:09:05. > :09:08.of the group's newest recruits says organising the festival, which sees
:09:09. > :09:22.the islands population double to There is a lot to organise and I am
:09:23. > :09:26.learning that this year with the current Alderney week team who have
:09:27. > :09:30.done an amazing job for such a long time. I am just learning how to pull
:09:31. > :09:33.everything together and all the volunteers who have two thank and
:09:34. > :09:38.pulling so we have a lot of challenges but we will overcome them
:09:39. > :09:44.and be fine because they pull it off every year brilliantly. Will the
:09:45. > :09:48.weather last? Good evening. On this Day 100 years
:09:49. > :09:54.ago the start of the First World War, the weather had started to
:09:55. > :09:59.change as well. This was early morning on the 4th of August 1914
:10:00. > :10:02.when no pressure had taken over the United Kingdom. Quite a change in
:10:03. > :10:06.the weather because the summer previously had been pretty good.
:10:07. > :10:10.Showers continued into the following day. We have low pressure which will
:10:11. > :10:14.be a feature of the weather tomorrow and on Wednesday and low pressure
:10:15. > :10:17.will be the feature of the weather this week. By Wednesday we have a
:10:18. > :10:22.weather system sweeping through early in the day that will be
:10:23. > :10:27.replaced by fine conditions but the risk of showers. Showers are
:10:28. > :10:32.possible tomorrow. Some sunshine is likely and a similar temperature to
:10:33. > :10:37.what we have been used to. Overnight tonight there will be lengthy clear
:10:38. > :10:42.spells to start with but more clout developing towards dawn. That could
:10:43. > :10:45.bring us showers and a temperature of 14 degrees inland. Tomorrow
:10:46. > :10:51.expect the showers to be around in the morning. In the afternoon it is
:10:52. > :10:55.mainly dry with sunny spells and temperatures between 18 and 20. The
:10:56. > :10:58.risk of showers developing towards the end of the afternoon and the
:10:59. > :11:08.risk of persistent rain overnight and into Wednesday. On Wednesday
:11:09. > :11:13.itself it should be done so Wednesday is dry with sunny spells.
:11:14. > :11:17.Thursday is similar with a lot of clouds around and on Friday quite a
:11:18. > :11:21.big change. We have a new area of low pressure that could bring more
:11:22. > :11:25.persistent rain at the end of the week. It will turn a lot more windy
:11:26. > :11:30.in the forthcoming weekend with low`pressure dictating whether on
:11:31. > :11:36.Saturday and Sunday. Night`time temperatures should be no lower than
:11:37. > :11:40.13 or 14 and the daytime should be up to 21. I leave you with a summary
:11:41. > :11:47.for tomorrow. Thank you very much. That is it. I
:11:48. > :11:49.will be back tomorrow at 6:30am. From all of us, thank you for
:11:50. > :12:14.watching. Quite a fresh evening out there this
:12:15. > :12:20.evening. It's going to turn chilly in a few spots by the early hours of
:12:21. > :12:24.Tuesday. Underneath the clear, calm, tranquil conditions... Not
:12:25. > :12:28.completely clear because there are a few showers. You may have been
:12:29. > :12:32.caught out in some across the South today. After midnight, you can see
:12:33. > :12:39.the vast majority of the UK has dry weather, whereas Cornwall, Devon,
:12:40. > :12:41.just about nudging into Wales, possibly Northern Ireland and the
:12:42. > :12:46.south-west of Scotland, a few showers. But clear skies is the
:12:47. > :12:50.story tonight. Colder in rural spots. The Glens of Scotland, really
