:00:49. > :00:50.the congestion charge through third party websites, to prevent lotorists
:00:51. > :00:54.paying over the odds. And after their success
:00:55. > :00:58.in the Commonwealth Games, we look at the medal hopefuls
:00:59. > :01:14.for Rio in two years time. Welcome to BBC London News with me,
:01:15. > :01:16.Riz Lateef. We start tonight with more
:01:17. > :01:19.on the commemorations to mark Britain's entry into the First World
:01:20. > :01:22.War, one hundred years ago today. Across
:01:23. > :01:24.the capital events have been held to remember the hundreds of thousands
:01:25. > :01:30.of soldiers who lost their lives. At Westminster Abbey
:01:31. > :01:34.a service is being held at 00 o'clock this evening ` an hour
:01:35. > :01:36.before war was officially ddclared. And in
:01:37. > :01:38.the same hour it's hoped thousands of Londoners will mark the occasion
:01:39. > :01:42.by switching off their lights. Leaving a single candle lit,
:01:43. > :01:46.for a shared moment of refldction. Let's cross to Asad Ahmad who's
:01:47. > :01:49.overlooking Tower Bridge ` one of the focal points
:01:50. > :01:57.of tonight's commemorations. I am overlooking Tower Bridge, the
:01:58. > :02:00.unique skyline of London. It is safe to say that the skyline would not
:02:01. > :02:04.look anything like it does today if it was not for the hundreds of
:02:05. > :02:09.thousands of fallen men and women who gave up so much 100 years ago.
:02:10. > :02:10.Like many of you at home, I have family who fought and died hn that

:02:16. > :02:20.probably one of the most spectacular is taking place across the river
:02:21. > :02:25.from me at the Tower of London, where 120,000 ceramic poppids have
:02:26. > :02:27.been planted in a sea of blood red in the tower's malt. Volunteers have

:03:36. > :03:39.remainder of the cars were started and the centenary procession got on
:03:40. > :03:39.its way. Stopping first at Lancashire
:03:40. > :03:43.and the centenary procession got on its way. Stopping first house for a

:03:48. > :03:52.Imperial War Museum where they stayed for the rest of the
:03:53. > :03:58.afternoon. They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old. It was
:03:59. > :04:04.not just soldiers remembered today. A two`minute silence marked the

:06:07. > :06:10.readily available from street vendors who will fill a balloon for

:06:15. > :06:20.do it, it is the best feeling. You are dizzy but I do not like it. I'd
:06:21. > :06:25.prefer to smoke weed. I do not hear many people talking about it. It is
:06:26. > :06:31.there but people just allow it. Nitrous oxide can be dangerous. It
