:02:33. > :02:35.are accustomed to seeing them, the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh. But
:02:36. > :02:45.this, come the autumn, will be the exception. The Duke has decided,
:02:46. > :02:48.finally, just a few weeks short of his 96th birthday, that it is time
:02:49. > :02:53.for him to step back from public duties. The Paller says the decision
:02:54. > :02:57.has not been prompted by any particular concern about health, and
:02:58. > :03:01.indeed in recent weeks he has been for billing a group of engagements
:03:02. > :03:05.which belie his age. Yesterday, he was at Lord's Cricket Ground,
:03:06. > :03:13.opening a new stand, meeting young cricketers, and cracking a familiar
:03:14. > :03:20.joke. The world's most experienced...! Plaque unveiling and
:03:21. > :03:24.much more has been a part of his life for very nearly seven decades,
:03:25. > :03:28.and although he has launched initiatives of his own, like the
:03:29. > :03:32.Duke of Edinburgh's Award scheme, his most important role has been to
:03:33. > :03:35.support his wife, the Queen. As she has become the longest reigning
:03:36. > :03:41.monarch, he has been the longest serving consort, a few paces behind
:03:42. > :03:44.in public, but most of constant and valued supporter in private. Soon
:03:45. > :04:04.the public role will come largely to an end. The statement said...

:04:09. > :04:10.From his steadfast support for Her Majesty the Queen
:04:11. > :04:12.to his inspirational Duke of Edinburgh's Awards,
:04:13. > :04:15.and his patronage of hundreds of charities and good causes,
:04:16. > :04:16.his contribution to our United Kingdom, the Commonwealth,
:04:17. > :04:30.and the wider world will be of huge benefit to us all for years to come.
:04:31. > :04:35.Oh, he has dedicated his life to public service and to supporting the
:04:36. > :04:38.Queen. I think he has more than end his retirement. Prince Philip, as
:04:39. > :04:43.well as the support he has given the Queen and his own public servers, of
:04:44. > :04:47.course, has done an amazing amount of charity work as well. The Leader
:04:48. > :05:01.of the Opposition, Jeremy Corbyn, said of the Duke...
:05:02. > :05:07.It was six years ago, in a BBC interview to mark his 90th birthday,
:05:08. > :05:12.that the Duke indicated that he was thinking about slowing down. I
:05:13. > :05:19.reckon I've done my bit, I want to enjoy myself with less
:05:20. > :05:28.responsibility, less frantic rushing about, less preparation, lest trying
:05:29. > :05:32.to think of something to say. On top of that, the memory is going, I
:05:33. > :05:37.can't remember names, so yes, just sort of winding down. But nothing
:05:38. > :05:41.much changed after his 90th birthday. He continued with a range
:05:42. > :05:45.of public visits. Those who know him say his contribution has been
:05:46. > :05:52.unparalleled. Later this year, he will have been at the Queen's side
:05:53. > :05:55.for 70 years, 25000 and more public engagements, more than 800 charities
:05:56. > :06:01.and organisations in which he has been actively involved. He has done
:06:02. > :06:04.his bit. The Duke's retirement from public duties will mean that other
:06:05. > :06:07.members of the Royal Family will step up to support the Queen. It's
:06:08. > :06:12.likely that she'll be seen more and major occasions with the Prince of
:06:13. > :06:15.Wales and the Duke of Cambridge. All of which underlines the fact that,
:06:16. > :06:22.although her husband may be stepping back, the Queen is not. In the words
:06:23. > :06:24.of Buckingham Palace, the Queen, 91 two weeks ago, will continue to
:06:25. > :06:27.carry out a full programme of official duties. Nicholas Witchell,
:06:28. > :06:30.BBC News. The Duke of Edinburgh is a patron
:06:31. > :06:33.of more than 780 charities, but he'll no longer have
:06:34. > :06:35.an active role attending public functions
:06:36. > :06:38.to support them. One of his greatest legacies
:06:39. > :06:41.will be his work as chairman of the Duke of Edinburgh Awards,
:06:42. > :06:44.which he set up in 1956 and has benefited millions
:06:45. > :06:46.of young people across the UK. Richard Lister
:06:47. > :06:48.has been looking at the impact the Duke has had on charities
:06:49. > :07:01.in many countries. Almost as soon as he became part of
:07:02. > :07:06.the Royal Family, the Duke of Edinburgh was determined to make his
:07:07. > :07:10.own contribution to British life. While he is most familiar to us at
:07:11. > :07:14.the Queen's side at some of the biggest moments of her reign, he has
:07:15. > :07:20.also built up a portfolio of causes which he has promoted for decades.
:07:21. > :07:23.Few, if any, of the people taking part in this park run in Leeds would
:07:24. > :07:30.even have been born when Prince Philip became the president of the
:07:31. > :07:35.National Playing Fields Association in 1947, a post he held for more
:07:36. > :07:42.than 60 years. It still fights to protect spaces like this for sports
:07:43. > :07:47.and recreation in urban areas. His love of the outdoor life led to the
:07:48. > :07:51.scheme which still bears his name, the Duke of Edinburgh's Awards,
:07:52. > :07:55.which he created in 1956. To give young people a chance to discover
:07:56. > :07:59.their own abilities for themselves as an introduction to the
:08:00. > :08:03.responsibilities and interests of the grown-up world, and incidentally
:08:04. > :08:08.to make new friends and have a great deal of fun and satisfaction in the
:08:09. > :08:13.process. The scheme calls for a combination of physical activity and
:08:14. > :08:19.volunteering, which almost 120,000 young people completed last year
:08:20. > :08:21.alone. In terms of his legacy, the Duke of Edinburgh's Awards scheme,
:08:22. > :08:25.which is known around the world for getting young people out there and
:08:26. > :08:29.trying to get them away from the phones and everything they do these
:08:30. > :08:35.days, you know, that is a great legacy. For 15 years, he was the
:08:36. > :08:39.high-profile president of the world wildlife fund, travelling widely to
:08:40. > :08:43.press the case for conservation. We depend on the web of life, we depend
:08:44. > :08:48.on every living thing on this planet, just as much as they depend
:08:49. > :08:51.on us. In latter years, because he has been most attached to, according
:08:52. > :08:55.to Ben is, is the maritime charity Trinity house. The former Admiral is
:08:56. > :09:00.thought likely to maintain some involvement behind the scenes. And
:09:01. > :09:05.his promotion of the equestrian sport of carriage driving is likely
:09:06. > :09:08.to be undiminished, if a little less publicly than before. But he helped
:09:09. > :09:14.write the rules for the sport and has been a major force behind it.
:09:15. > :09:19.Has been a good ambassador for eventing, he is approachable, he has
:09:20. > :09:23.always been doing something, involved, and not sort of high and
:09:24. > :09:26.mighty. I think he has done his bit, I think he has been absolutely
:09:27. > :09:33.wonderful, and he has been immaculate in every way. It is sad,
:09:34. > :09:39.but it is not surprising, at 96 you are entitled to retire from Royal
:09:40. > :09:43.duties. Although not always high-profile, the Duke of Edinburgh
:09:44. > :09:46.used to carry out at least 250 appointments in a busy year. Those
:09:47. > :09:51.who know him say his impact on British life has been... Absolutely
:09:52. > :09:55.huge, no single person, apart from the Queen, had such an impact, and
:09:56. > :09:59.when we talk about him retiring, I do not believe it is a retirement,
:10:00. > :10:07.it is a change of the way he does things. He is stepping out of the
:10:08. > :10:10.compulsory public duties. He will still be interested, he will still
:10:11. > :10:13.know what is going on, who is running it, he will still know their
:10:14. > :10:15.names and say to them, what is keeping you busy? Of the next
:10:16. > :10:19.chapter of the Duke of Edinburgh's life begins, but it will be one that
:10:20. > :10:22.plays out less publicly than before. Richard Lister, BBC News.
:10:23. > :10:24.In a moment, we'll speak to our royal correspondent
:10:25. > :10:30.but first Sarah Campbell is at Buckingham Palace.
:10:31. > :10:39.Always a magnet for tourists, of course, I wonder what people have
:10:40. > :10:43.been saying there today? Well, yes, crowds here and indeed the world's
:10:44. > :10:47.media have been digest in the news throughout the morning that the
:10:48. > :10:51.prince is going to retire from Royal duties. If you take a look around
:10:52. > :10:55.me, I am at Canada Gate, just opposite Buckingham Palace, and we
:10:56. > :11:00.counted roughly 20 broadcasters who have been here since the early
:11:01. > :11:03.hours. From Australia, New Zealand, America, Europe and the UK, and they
:11:04. > :11:10.started riding here when that announcement was made, or it was
:11:11. > :11:14.made clear that there would be an emergency meeting here today at
:11:15. > :11:18.Buckingham Palace. As you would expect, speculation on social media
:11:19. > :11:21.was rife, but the reason that staff from across the UK were brought here
:11:22. > :11:27.to Buckingham Palace was so that they could be told in person the
:11:28. > :11:31.decision of the Duke. This will make global headlines, as the shows, and
:11:32. > :11:36.he is one of the world's most recognised public figures, and the
:11:37. > :11:40.Palace has produced some figures to recognise that point, 600 overseas
:11:41. > :11:44.visits, or than 5000 speeches, and in his spare time he has written 14
:11:45. > :11:48.books. He may have to get used to getting out of the public eye, but
:11:49. > :11:53.the public will have to get used to his absence. Sarah, thank you, Sarah
:11:54. > :11:57.Campbell there. Nicholas Witchell, of course, with us, as ever, why
:11:58. > :12:03.particularly now you might it might sound strange for someone of 95, why
:12:04. > :12:06.do we have to ask the question? He has been thinking about it, since I
:12:07. > :12:12.understand it, since the beginning of the year. He wanted particularly
:12:13. > :12:16.to be at the Queen's side last year, and previously we had the moment
:12:17. > :12:19.when she became the longest reigning monarch, the Diamond Jubilee, but he
:12:20. > :12:24.clearly feels that a change of pace is called for and is necessary. He
:12:25. > :12:27.is finally going to do what he said he was going to do six years ago on
:12:28. > :12:34.her 90th birthday, starts to wind down. But he has, as Chris Diwali
:12:35. > :12:41.was intimating in that piece, he has said that he may still attend public
:12:42. > :12:46.events from time to time. So it is perhaps, as he was saying, and ends
:12:47. > :12:49.to compulsory public duties, but I think that he will still be in
:12:50. > :12:54.public site from time to time, and one particular occasion coming up
:12:55. > :12:58.that I'm sure it he will attend will be a certain wedding anniversary,
:12:59. > :13:02.their 70th, their platinum wedding anniversary. I am quite sure he will
:13:03. > :13:06.be in public view on that occasion. One other thing to say, this
:13:07. > :13:11.decision clearly has the support not just of the Queen, who will continue
:13:12. > :13:15.unchanged, but the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Cambridge, and they
:13:16. > :13:18.come up with other members of the Royal Family, will have to take more
:13:19. > :13:22.of the load. All right, thank you, Nicholas Witchell. Now we will take
:13:23. > :13:25.a look at the rest of the main news. Voters are going to the polls

:30:40. > :30:43.manager is not so happy across the Kent coast. This morning, a lot of
:30:44. > :30:47.low cloud, a few scattered showers and it's feeling cold, I'm afraid.
:30:48. > :30:54.I'm sure your summer will come in a few weeks or months' time. In the
:30:55. > :30:56.south we have quite a lot of cloud with the breeze coming in off the
:30:57. > :31:00.sea and it is exacerbating the problem. It's cold, the North Sea,
:31:01. > :31:04.around 9 degrees, so with the strengthening breeze just driving in
:31:05. > :31:08.the cloud and a few showers, it's pretty miserable. 10-11 at best
:31:09. > :31:12.through this afternoon. It's a different story, the weather lottery
:31:13. > :31:16.I was talking to you about, further north and west are sorts of blue sky
:31:17. > :31:19.and sunshine. Cold across the north-east of Scotland but sheltered
:31:20. > :31:23.in western areas. We could see temperatures into the high teens
:31:24. > :31:27.this afternoon. Absolutely glorious. It's feeling pleasant. Not so bad
:31:28. > :31:30.into Northern Ireland and parts of north-west England as well. A good
:31:31. > :31:35.slice of sunshine further north and west. A bit of hazy, high cloud as
:31:36. > :31:40.you push south, then into the nuisance cloud, always running the
:31:41. > :31:42.risk of a few scattered showers running along the M4 corridor, down
:31:43. > :31:46.to the south-west this afternoon. Cold unexposed east coasts. Pleasant
:31:47. > :31:50.and warmer in the far north-west through this afternoon. Overnight
:31:51. > :31:53.tonight, we keep the clear skies in the north, so it will turn on the
:31:54. > :31:58.chilly side here. The blanket of cloud sitting down towards the South
:31:59. > :32:01.still can't rule out the shower. In towns and city centres, temperatures
:32:02. > :32:05.holding up. In rural Scottish blends we might see temperatures low enough
:32:06. > :32:15.for a touch of light frost. Yet again you get the sunshine tomorrow.
:32:16. > :32:18.The winds will start to strengthen tomorrow and might take the edge off
:32:19. > :32:20.the temperatures are little, but we will see potentially gales
:32:21. > :32:22.developing by the end of the day into the south-west. High teens in
:32:23. > :32:26.Cheltenham -- sheltered western areas. Gardeners and growers might
:32:27. > :32:30.get excited, this is an area of low pressure, some rain pushing in.
:32:31. > :32:34.Don't get your hopes up too much. Unfortunately it only looks like
:32:35. > :32:38.heavy rain across Cornwall, Devon, Somerset and it will drift off the
:32:39. > :32:44.near continent. A breezy day on Saturday. A good deal of dry weather
:32:45. > :32:47.for many of us. The area of low pressure disappears and as we move
:32:48. > :32:51.into Sunday, perhaps a better day of the two over the weekend, but the
:32:52. > :32:54.breeze will be light and from a northerly direction so back to the
:32:55. > :32:56.weather lottery. Disappointing on the east coast. The best of the
:32:57. > :33:00.weather further west. A reminder of our main
:33:01. > :33:09.story this lunchtime. The Duke of Edinburgh is to stop
