:00:00. > :00:00.A century after the start of the Battle of Passchendaele,

:00:07. > :00:08.one of the bloodiest of the First World War,

:00:09. > :00:11.commemorations take place in Belgium.

:00:12. > :00:13.Remembering the fallen - Prince Charles leads a service

:00:14. > :00:16.at Tyne Cot Cemetery near Ypres to honour those who

:00:17. > :00:24.We remember it not only for the rain that fell,

:00:25. > :00:27.the mud that weighed down the living and swallowed the dead,

:00:28. > :00:39.but also for the courage and bravery of the men who fought here.

:00:40. > :00:41.Among the guests today - descendants of those who fought

:00:42. > :00:44.here in the fields of Flanders, where hundreds of thousands

:00:45. > :00:54.18 years in jail for the Royal Marine who supplied

:00:55. > :01:01.Ciaran Maxwell as a proud commando - but secretly he was making bombs

:01:02. > :01:05.for a terror group in Northern Ireland.

:01:06. > :01:07.Undoubtedly I believe that by being caught now,

:01:08. > :01:14.Number Ten tries to stamp out Cabinet bickering over

:01:15. > :01:15.post-Brexit immigration, but is the row over

:01:16. > :01:24.Are you paying too much for your bank overdraft?

:01:25. > :01:29.The financial watchdog wants fundamental changes.

:01:30. > :01:31.Moeen Ali's hat-trick takes England to a thumping victory over

:01:32. > :01:39.And coming up in Sportsday later in the hour on BBC News...

:01:40. > :01:41.A step towards safe standing in the Premier League,

:01:42. > :02:05.after an influential Liverpool fans' group voted in favour of the move.

:02:06. > :02:08.Good evening from Tyne Cot Cemetery in Belgium, where commemorations

:02:09. > :02:11.have been taking place to mark 100 years since the start

:02:12. > :02:16.one of the bloodiest battles of World War I.

:02:17. > :02:18.Over three months, British and Allied troops clashed

:02:19. > :02:20.with German soldiers in what became known as the Battle

:02:21. > :02:26.In the fields around this cemetery, around 500,000 soldiers,

:02:27. > :02:29.on both sides of the war, were killed, wounded

:02:30. > :02:33.As the battle began, torrential rain fell.

:02:34. > :02:45.Some are buried here. Many others were never found.

:02:46. > :02:47.But the names of many are etched in stone

:02:48. > :03:04.There are few more peaceful places than the gentle slope of Tyne Cot.

:03:05. > :03:07.Today, among its white headstones, families look back across the years

:03:08. > :03:15.The battle we know today as Passchendaele would

:03:16. > :03:25.We remember it not only for the rain that fell,

:03:26. > :03:29.the mud that weighed down the living and swallowed the dead,

:03:30. > :03:37.but also for the courage and bravery of the men who fought here.

:03:38. > :03:40.Tyne Cot overlooks the rolling farmland, streams and fields that

:03:41. > :03:44.once formed no man's land - a score of liquid mud

:03:45. > :03:54.Bert Fearns joined the Lancashire Fusiliers

:03:55. > :04:00.Bert Fearns began his attack here, beside the German bunker that now

:04:01. > :04:09.The Lancashire Fusiliers made their way uphill

:04:10. > :04:13.And a spot which Bert later said he would never forget.

:04:14. > :04:22.We came across what would be about 100 yards square of bodies

:04:23. > :04:31.that had been caught in an artillery shrapnel attack.

:04:32. > :04:44.Private Edward Michael Baton, 13th platoon, D Company,

:04:45. > :04:48.45th Battalion, Australian Imperial...

:04:49. > :04:55.Private James Monroe, South African Infantry Regiment.

:04:56. > :04:59.My great, great grandfather, Rifleman Stanley Dorrit...

:05:00. > :05:03.My great, great uncle, Private Walter Stevenson,

:05:04. > :05:12.Voices and stories that inspire acts of remembrance.

:05:13. > :05:14.Like the story of Captain Noel Chavasse -

:05:15. > :05:17.surgeon and Olympic athlete, he was awarded the Victoria Cross

:05:18. > :05:26.His great, great niece chose to carry a daily

:05:27. > :05:34.Perhaps we won't have such big Government-funded

:05:35. > :05:36.events as this today, but what we will have are stories

:05:37. > :05:39.that we can pass down the generations in a way that

:05:40. > :05:49.For something that is so significant.

:05:50. > :05:55.Flanders means blood and scraps of human bodies.

:05:56. > :05:58.The story of Passchendaele has been told for 100 years.

:05:59. > :06:01.Tyne Cot is likely to remain a place of pilgrimage

:06:02. > :06:13.Among the first over the top when the Battle of Passchendaele

:06:14. > :06:15.began 100 years ago today were the Welsh Infantry.

:06:16. > :06:23.Sian Lloyd has been talking to the relatives of two men who went

:06:24. > :06:37.Marking the moment the battle began, 100 years ago.

:06:38. > :06:39.Infantrymen of the 38th Welsh Division advanced through

:06:40. > :06:49.3000 Welsh soldiers were killed or wounded within the

:06:50. > :06:55.They were sent into battle with the words,

:06:56. > :07:08.Some of those who made the ultimate sacrifice are buried here in this

:07:09. > :07:10.cemetery, among them a 30-year-old Welsh poet.

:07:11. > :07:18.Private Ellis Evans was better known by his pen name.

:07:19. > :07:26.Inspired by the landscape around his home in Snowdonia, he was a

:07:27. > :07:27.reluctant soldier, conscripted into service.

:07:28. > :07:30.He never in his life had a rifle in his hand.

:07:31. > :07:33.You might as well say he was going to the front

:07:34. > :07:37.A few weeks later, a poem he had sent

:07:38. > :07:41.from the front line won the highest honour in Wales,

:07:42. > :07:43.the Chair of the National Eisteddfod.

:07:44. > :07:47.His absence at the prize-giving ceremony came to

:07:48. > :07:50.symbolise a lost generation felt by many farming communities.

:07:51. > :07:52.All the cream of the young men had been killed.

:07:53. > :07:56.For what? I don't know.

:07:57. > :08:09.For me, it doesn't make sense whatsoever.

:08:10. > :08:12.Hedd Wyn was honoured today in a special service.

:08:13. > :08:15.Among those taking part, Sian Rees, who has

:08:16. > :08:26.Her grandfather, Bert Hinder, was 19 when he joined up.

:08:27. > :08:28.He survived the battle, and made his home in the

:08:29. > :08:34.He was jolly, he was small, he had a terrible

:08:35. > :08:37.jokes, and he always used to give me a sixpence on a Saturday morning.

:08:38. > :08:40.Like so many, Bert never spoke about the horrors that he saw.

:08:41. > :08:45.The miracle of the First World War is that

:08:46. > :08:47.although so many millions died, that so many thousands returned home and

:08:48. > :08:56.nobody knew what heroes they had been.

:08:57. > :09:01.# Tell him we will meet again... #.

:09:02. > :09:04.The Welsh Division did achieve their goal of pushing back the

:09:05. > :09:19.Here in Tyne Cot there are almost 12,000 graves, but the vast majority

:09:20. > :09:22.of them have no names. The men who are buried here were never

:09:23. > :09:24.identified. Tyne Cot has come to symbolise the true horror of the

:09:25. > :09:25.Battle of Passchendaele. We'll have more from Tyne Cot

:09:26. > :09:28.Cemetery later in the programme. A serving Royal Marine who made

:09:29. > :09:35.and stashed potentially deadly bombs for a dissident republican terror

:09:36. > :09:37.group in Northern Ireland has been Ciaran Maxwell, who's now been

:09:38. > :09:42.discharged, led a double life - a proud commando training hard

:09:43. > :09:45.with his brothers-in-arms, while at the same time

:09:46. > :09:47.supplying Continuity IRA Soon after he signed up,

:09:48. > :09:57.Ciaran Maxwell became the enemy The seemingly proud commando

:09:58. > :10:04.was an opponent of the On Facebook, he posted this

:10:05. > :10:09.video of his training exercises, as he was supposedly

:10:10. > :10:14.serving Queen and country. In reality, his six-year career

:10:15. > :10:20.was spent servicing the dissident Irish republican

:10:21. > :10:22.group the Continuity He was a very accomplished

:10:23. > :10:27.and sophisticated bomb maker who could have supplied these

:10:28. > :10:30.devices over a long period of time Undoubtedly, I believe that

:10:31. > :10:36.by being caught now, Maxwell came from Northern

:10:37. > :10:48.Ireland, and four of his by the Continuity IRA

:10:49. > :10:57.in residential areas. No one was hurt, but Maxwell built

:10:58. > :11:00.14 bombs, and he knew those he was working for were intent on attacking

:11:01. > :11:03.police stations and killing officers It was near his hometown

:11:04. > :11:15.of Larne that police uncovered the first of a series

:11:16. > :11:19.of hides he used to store his lethal These included timers

:11:20. > :11:21.and antipersonnel mines. Fertiliser recovered

:11:22. > :11:23.here could have been the base for a bomb bigger than the one

:11:24. > :11:26.that caused carnage at Enniskillen As a member of the Royal Marines'

:11:27. > :11:32.elite 40 Commando Unit, Ciaran Maxwell was based

:11:33. > :11:34.here in Somerset, and this is where he

:11:35. > :11:35.was For years, without ever

:11:36. > :11:38.being caught, he had been systematically stealing British

:11:39. > :11:41.military ammunition and adding it to As well as the locations

:11:42. > :11:47.in Northern Ireland, Maxwell had a further

:11:48. > :11:49.network of hides in the West Country, close

:11:50. > :11:50.to his home This picture was recovered

:11:51. > :12:02.after his arrest. And he was smuggling it

:12:03. > :12:05.into his base, along with LSD. A former Army officer

:12:06. > :12:06.and Northern Ireland politician, Doug Beattie, is amazed

:12:07. > :12:10.at what Maxwell got away with. We could have been

:12:11. > :12:14.looking at a loss of life perpetrated by a serving

:12:15. > :12:21.soldier of the British military. And if we don't have a look at our

:12:22. > :12:24.security checks and how we vet people before they join

:12:25. > :12:27.the military, then we are going The Ministry of Defence

:12:28. > :12:30.said all personnel are subject to regular checks, but

:12:31. > :12:33.Ciaran Maxwell, who once gave his fellow commandos a talk

:12:34. > :12:35.on the security situation in Northern Ireland,

:12:36. > :12:36.has severely embarrassed Former bosses of the charity

:12:37. > :12:43.Kids Company could be disqualified from running businesses,

:12:44. > :12:45.following a Government probe into its collapse.

:12:46. > :12:48.The Insolvency Service says it's bringing court proceedings

:12:49. > :12:49.against Camilla Batmanghelidjh In all, nine of the charity's former

:12:50. > :12:57.directors are facing bans Kids Company closed in 2015,

:12:58. > :13:03.despite receiving a grant Family and friends of Princess Diana

:13:04. > :13:12.have urged Channel 4 not to betray her privacy

:13:13. > :13:15.by broadcasting controversial tapes in which she

:13:16. > :13:22.discussed her marriage. The footage, which first came

:13:23. > :13:25.to light in 2001, was recorded by her voice coach during sessions

:13:26. > :13:27.to help the late Princess Many of the recordings have already

:13:28. > :13:31.been aired on US TV. Downing Street has stepped

:13:32. > :13:34.in after days of public disagreement between Cabinet ministers over

:13:35. > :13:36.what migration rules The Prime Minister's office insisted

:13:37. > :13:41.freedom of movement will end Our Political Correspondent, Vicki

:13:42. > :13:59.Young, is with me in the studio. Here we are, Vicki, at the start of

:14:00. > :14:02.complex negotiations. And it feels as if ministers still don't agree on

:14:03. > :14:06.what they want. Yes, it certainly is not the end of the argument. What

:14:07. > :14:10.they do agree on is that freedom of movement ends at the end of March 20

:14:11. > :14:14.19. That is really a technicality, that is the moment when Britain gets

:14:15. > :14:19.back control of its borders. The odd, that is raging amongst cabinet

:14:20. > :14:23.ministers and MPs is what they then do with this new power -- the

:14:24. > :14:27.argument that is raging. The Chancellor is focused on jobs, and

:14:28. > :14:30.the economy. He thinks that if you just stop EU workers coming here

:14:31. > :14:34.overnight that would be bad for business. As he puts it, it all

:14:35. > :14:38.could look very similar to what we have now. On the other side you have

:14:39. > :14:42.Cabinet ministers who think that people who voted for Brexit will

:14:43. > :14:49.feel betrayed if what happened is that nothing changes. They think

:14:50. > :14:51.ministers should immediately try and get the numbers of immigrants down

:14:52. > :14:54.to the tens of thousands, that promised that has been broken for so

:14:55. > :14:57.many years. There certainly is no Cabinet agreement on any of this.

:14:58. > :15:01.They are arguing in public, playing. Those are committed in public, which

:15:02. > :15:05.shows a certain lack of discipline -- playing out those arguments in

:15:06. > :15:06.public. Downing Street is failing to assert its authority at the moment.

:15:07. > :15:11.Thanks, Vicki. The Government wants to recruit

:15:12. > :15:13.an extra 21,000 mental health workers in England over

:15:14. > :15:15.the next four years. The Health Secretary, Jeremy Hunt,

:15:16. > :15:18.says it's time to end what he called between mental and physical

:15:19. > :15:21.health services. But the Royal College of Nursing has

:15:22. > :15:24.questioned whether enough new staff As a teenager, Hope had

:15:25. > :15:32.a serious eating disorder. She thought she had got

:15:33. > :15:34.through it after treatment. But last year, a family bereavement

:15:35. > :15:39.triggered a relapse. She was offered therapy

:15:40. > :15:41.but was told there would be a 12-week wait, news

:15:42. > :15:43.she said was devastating. The way I was treated

:15:44. > :15:47.last year wasn't right. There were points when

:15:48. > :15:49.I did want to kind of end everything and when I never

:15:50. > :15:53.thought I would ever be well again. that I was so angry

:15:54. > :15:58.and annoyed at the system. When you cry out for help

:15:59. > :16:02.and you already feel guilty because telling you that you shouldn't be

:16:03. > :16:07.eating, so when you do call out for

:16:08. > :16:12.help and you get turned away, no one does understand what you

:16:13. > :16:17.are going through. To cut down waiting times and expand

:16:18. > :16:20.mental health services, the government has announced

:16:21. > :16:22.an expansion of the workforce. We have worked out how many more

:16:23. > :16:25.doctors, nurses, therapists we need. We have worked out where we think

:16:26. > :16:28.we can get them from. Like all plans, it will be

:16:29. > :16:30.challenging to deliver it, but we are determined to hold true to our

:16:31. > :16:32.promise to transform mental health

:16:33. > :16:43.services. The plan for mental health

:16:44. > :16:45.staffing involves an extra 21,000 posts in England

:16:46. > :16:47.by the 2020 financial year. This will include children's

:16:48. > :16:49.services, adult talking But official figures

:16:50. > :16:52.show there was a fall of more than 5000 in the number

:16:53. > :16:55.of mental health nurses in England between March 2010

:16:56. > :17:00.and March this year. The move has been welcomed

:17:01. > :17:03.by the Royal College of Nursing, though its leaders are sceptical

:17:04. > :17:05.about what can be delivered. How are we going to do that

:17:06. > :17:09.in such a short time scale? Other government policies

:17:10. > :17:10.are actually getting So we already know we have

:17:11. > :17:14.got one in ten post So we have got to fill

:17:15. > :17:18.those as well as putting Critics argue that capping public

:17:19. > :17:23.sector pay rises and abolishing free tuition costs for trainee nurses

:17:24. > :17:26.in England will make it harder Hope says she has pulled through her

:17:27. > :17:33.latest mental health setback. But she believes a lot more needs

:17:34. > :17:37.to be done to ensure people get the care they need,

:17:38. > :17:53.when they need it. Weigh top story this evening:

:17:54. > :17:55.Commemorations take place to remember the dead on the 100th

:17:56. > :17:59.anniversary of the battle of Passchendaele- one of the bloodiest

:18:00. > :18:06.of the First World War. And, still to come: Donald Trump shows off his

:18:07. > :18:13.new chief of staff - but can he bring order to

:18:14. > :18:17.A blow for the World Championships that start in London on Friday,

:18:18. > :18:26.David Rhodesia has pulled out. It may have happened

:18:27. > :18:29.to you at some point, that moment when you realise you've

:18:30. > :18:31.gone over your overdraft limit. Now the Financial Conduct Authority

:18:32. > :18:34.is calling for fundamental changes to the way banks respond,

:18:35. > :18:36.especially their high charges. Most recent figures show

:18:37. > :18:38.a quarter of customers with an overdraft agreement went

:18:39. > :18:48.beyond that limit. In total ?1.2 billion in charges

:18:49. > :18:50.and fees were paid to banks for

:18:51. > :18:52.unarranged overdrafts. Our Personal Finance Correspondent,

:18:53. > :19:02.Simon Gompertz reports. VOICEOVER: Meet one of the millions

:19:03. > :19:09.who has fallen into a financial trap which we are now told has no place

:19:10. > :19:13.in modern banking. Oliver, telephone engineer from Milton Keynes, did not

:19:14. > :19:16.just go into overdraft, he was allowed to go beyond his limit into

:19:17. > :19:21.an arranged overdraft with extra charges, and it has happened several

:19:22. > :19:23.times. I think the banks allow you to go over your overdraft

:19:24. > :19:28.intentionally because they know they will make money from it. Personally,

:19:29. > :19:31.you should not be allowed to go past it, banks should put processes in

:19:32. > :19:35.place so that when you have reached your limit, you have reached your

:19:36. > :19:41.limit, and then not charge you. If you stray into an arranged

:19:42. > :19:46.overdraft, charges range up to ?10 a day, and ?15 each time your anchor

:19:47. > :19:53.refuses or pays a direct debit, and up to 19% of interest to pay. So you

:19:54. > :19:56.went just a bit more than pounds into the red 16 days, the RBS select

:19:57. > :20:05.account would charge ?80, including one refused payment. And at

:20:06. > :20:10.Santander, ?95. -- back out compare with the price of taking out a

:20:11. > :20:15.payday loan, which you would expect to be a lot, some banks are charging

:20:16. > :20:19.many times what payday lenders charge. The charges are very high on

:20:20. > :20:24.an arranged overdrafts and secondly they are opaque and complex, people

:20:25. > :20:28.do not necessarily recognise what they are paying because they are not

:20:29. > :20:31.taking a conscious decision to say, let me take out an arranged

:20:32. > :20:35.overdraft, that does not happen. Some banks have seen the writing on

:20:36. > :20:38.the wall, Lloyds is telling its customers that from November, if

:20:39. > :20:44.they stray over their overdraft limit, they will not face any fees

:20:45. > :20:47.at all. It is a sign that profits from people going into the red are

:20:48. > :20:53.going to have to be cut. The clock is now ticking for banks to change

:20:54. > :20:57.their ways, as in industry, they have urged to make overdraft costs

:20:58. > :20:59.zero, at least, but the CIA has promised a clamp-down by next

:22:21. > :22:23.a new chief of staff, how much about the man

:22:24. > :22:31.at the top...? Great question, general John Kelly,

:22:32. > :22:35.45 years in the Marine Corps, you would expect him to want to impose

:22:36. > :22:40.that kind of discipline into the White House, proper chain of

:22:41. > :22:41.command, processes for who goes to meetings, who gets to see the

:22:42. > :22:48.president, who does not. All things lacking in the past six

:22:49. > :22:52.months, but the real question is, will Donald Trump let him in that

:22:53. > :22:55.discipline? If you think of when Donald Trump was a candidate, there

:22:56. > :22:59.were various times where we saw a change of campaign manager, and

:23:00. > :23:03.speculated about whether this would mark a change in the style of the

:23:04. > :23:07.Donald Trump operation, it did not really, things carried on much as

:23:08. > :23:10.they were. There will be those that say, the proof will be in the

:23:11. > :23:14.pudding about whether Donald Trump will allow him the latitude to

:23:15. > :23:19.impose this discipline. The other thing, Donald Trump seems to quite

:23:20. > :23:23.like some of the chaos and noise and fast that surrounds him every single

:23:24. > :23:28.day, and, you know, Donald Trump would say, if you look at the stock

:23:29. > :23:32.market, which is at a record high, if you look at unemployment, at a

:23:33. > :23:36.low for 17 years, things are going pretty well. If you are an American

:23:37. > :23:41.not focused on the circus and pantomime here, and looking at what

:23:42. > :23:43.is happening in wider America, you may be thinking, things are pretty

:23:44. > :23:50.good. All right, thank you. Cricket, and a spectacular Moeen Ali

:23:51. > :23:52.hat-trick helped England to a comfortable victory,

:23:53. > :23:54.in the third test against It means England lead 2-1,

:23:55. > :23:57.going into the final VOICEOVER: ?20 got you into day,

:23:58. > :24:11.for the kids, a quid, the very best of Test

:24:12. > :24:14.cricket was on offer, with luck, South Africa could not

:24:15. > :24:24.rely on the weather, Next ball, Vernon Philander gave him

:24:25. > :24:28.his next wicket. Batsman miscalculation. Now, Rowland Jones

:24:29. > :24:34.going both barrels for the hat-trick. The debutant. Not for him

:24:35. > :24:40.today. South Africa needed to bat out the day to draw, Dean Elgar

:24:41. > :24:42.fought to 100. Chris Morris was out just before lunch, Moeen Ali was in

:24:43. > :24:49.the game. That dismissal left England needing

:24:50. > :24:53.just three more wickets to win the match and when they came, they came

:24:54. > :25:01.in a rush. First, brave Dean Elgar fell... Rabada out first ball, nine

:25:02. > :25:05.down, could Moeen Ali win the match with three wickets in three balls,

:25:06. > :25:10.eventually, the computer, and the umpire, said yes. There is no bad

:25:11. > :25:13.way to win a test but as finishes goes, this was one of the best. --

:25:20. > :25:22.actor Sam Shepard has died. He was nominated

:25:23. > :25:23.for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor

:25:24. > :25:28.for his portrayal of pilot Chuck Yaegar in The Right Stuff,

:25:29. > :25:30.and received the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1979 for

:25:31. > :25:44.his play Buried Child. We'll be rejoining Sophie in Belgium

:25:45. > :25:49.shortly, but first, time for a look at the weather. There was some

:25:50. > :25:55.sunshine to be had today, that is only half the story, also a lot of

:25:56. > :25:58.showers out there, Northern Ireland there, and through tomorrow, it is

:25:59. > :26:03.going to be a similar day, sunny spells and showers around. Some rain

:26:04. > :26:06.through the middle of the week, and then we are back to where we

:26:07. > :26:10.started, breezy and showery conditions, low pressure still in

:26:11. > :26:15.charge, staying with us, keeping things unsettled.

:26:16. > :26:21.In the south-east, Scheuer showers few and far between, closer to the

:26:22. > :26:27.area of low pressure. -- showers few and far between. The odd rumble of

:26:28. > :26:31.thunder, hail mixed in, the eastern side of the UK becomes generally

:26:32. > :26:37.dry, we have further showers coming in, so it remains pretty unsettled,

:26:38. > :26:41.fresh night, 11 to 13 or 14 degrees, rural spots a few degrees lower,

:26:42. > :26:45.showers from early on across the western side will drift east, some

:26:46. > :26:50.of them could be heavy with rumbles of thunder, you are likely to see

:26:51. > :26:56.showers in East Anglia than today. Mostly dry with sunshine. Top

:26:57. > :27:01.temperatures similar to today. 18, 23, 24 towards the London area. We

:27:02. > :27:05.look to the west, this next area of low pressure to head our way, ice

:27:06. > :27:10.bars mean that there will be a fair old breeze, rain springing into the

:27:11. > :27:13.south-west, that will move its way into Northern Ireland, moving north

:27:14. > :27:17.and east, but the further north you go and the further east you go, you

:27:18. > :27:22.will not see the rain until late on in the day, into the early evening.

:27:23. > :27:26.That rain crosses Scotland, and then, on Thursday, for the most

:27:27. > :27:27.part, back to where we started, a fair bit of cloud, and some showers

:27:28. > :27:35.at times. Let's return now to Tyne Cot

:27:36. > :27:37.Cemetery in Belgium, where, 100 years on from the Battle

:27:38. > :27:40.of Passchendaele, the Prime Minister and members of the Royal Family

:27:41. > :27:43.joined 4,000 others to remember the sacrifice made by so many

:27:44. > :27:50.in a battle that has come to symbolise

:27:51. > :27:52.the horror of World War I. Among the 4,000 people

:27:53. > :27:54.here this afternoon They were brought to

:27:55. > :27:57.Belgium as volunteers by the youth programme

:27:58. > :28:10.the National Citizen Service. 18 years old, explain why you were

:28:11. > :28:14.so keen to come. Although I already knew I had a relatively, actually

:28:15. > :28:18.coming here made me want to do so much more research into them, my

:28:19. > :28:24.relative here is my grandmother's uncle, he died at Passchendaele, 26

:28:25. > :28:28.September, 1917. He survived several weeks during one of the bloodiest

:28:29. > :28:32.battles of World War I. Wearable to picture what he went through but the

:28:33. > :28:36.fact he managed to survive for so long was very warming. One of the

:28:37. > :28:41.tasks you have her body have been here is to escort some of the

:28:42. > :28:45.descendants of those that have fought here, incredibly moving. Some

:28:46. > :28:49.young people were asked to escort the descendants, such a moving

:28:50. > :28:54.experience, it allowed us to connect with the different generations, so

:28:55. > :28:59.interested to hear our stories, and desperate to share ours with theirs.

:29:00. > :29:03.One woman was so emotional about her own story, lovely to have such a

:29:04. > :29:08.connection with her. You are one of 100 young people here, Centenary

:29:09. > :29:12.now, your job now, to continue this act of remembrance, to remember the

:29:13. > :29:16.stories of what happened here, do you think that will happen in such a

:29:17. > :29:20.way and continue in your lifetime. I hope the young people of today can

:29:21. > :29:24.carry this on, it is amazing that we are able to work with different

:29:25. > :29:27.generations. I have been able to make such a connection because I am

:29:28. > :29:32.the same age as the soldiers who fought, if young people can see that

:29:33. > :29:34.and young people can see people like me on television working at such

:29:35. > :29:37.amazing events, hopefully we can work together and make sure nothing

:29:38. > :29:40.like this ever happens again. So, it's goodbye from me,

:29:41. > :29:46.and on BBC One we now join the BBC's
