Good evening and welcome to BBC Points West. | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
Our headlines tonight: Victory for the Bristol man vilified by the | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
tabloids - the headlines about landlord Chris Jefferies that ended | :00:20. | :00:26. | |
up costing the papers thousands. No amount was worth his death - the | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
family of a road worker speak out after two companies are fined | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
�300,000 for breaching health and safety. | :00:32. | :00:42. | |
:00:42. | :00:43. | ||
It could be �3 billion, it wouldn't worry me. It will never get my bad | :00:43. | :00:53. | |
:00:53. | :00:54. | ||
back. The human remains found in South | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
Korea - could they belong to a soldier from Gloucestershire? | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
The sporting Royal couple from Gloucestershire all set for the | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
second big wedding of the year. Hello. Eight newspapers are to pay | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
substantial damages to Christopher Jefferies, the Bristol landlord | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
wrongly accused in the Jo Yeates murder investigation. Today all of | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
them apologised unreservedly to Mr Jefferies, whose life was left in | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
tatters following the press coverage. In a separate development, | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
two of the tabloids were also found guilty of contempt. John Maguire | :01:15. | :01:25. | |
:01:25. | :01:29. | ||
reports from London on a dramatic day in court. | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
Seven months after his arrest on suspicion of murder, Christopher | :01:33. | :01:39. | |
Jeffries finally had his day in court. He wasn't here to witness | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
its anti-EU representatives of eight newspapers say sorry. They | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
all made unreserved apologies for the stories, admitting there were | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
false and agreeing to pay substantial damages. Mr Jefferies's | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
lawyer said his client was satisfied with the result. | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
Christopher Jefferies is the latest victim of the regular witch hunts | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
and character assassination carried out by the worst elements of the | :02:05. | :02:11. | |
tabloid media. Many of the stories published Farr-designed to monster | :02:11. | :02:16. | |
the individual, in flagrant disregard of his reputation, | :02:16. | :02:23. | |
privacy and right to a fair trial. The news was welcomed near his home. | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
A I think that is brilliant. The newspapers deserve everything they | :02:28. | :02:34. | |
get. All they're interested in is selling copies, so when they get | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
their fingers burnt, good. I think it is awful but papers are allowed | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
to a libel you like that. I'm glad he has got a lot of money for it. | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
The damages are not being disclosed, but here three years ago another | :02:47. | :02:53. | |
innocent man got up and a high profile case, Robert Maradi, | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
arrested after the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, was paid �600,000 | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
but the newspapers. This battle over, Mr Jefferies now turned his | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
attention to the police, suing them for unlawful arrest and false | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
imprisonment. For two of the it tabloid scum of the day was about | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
to get much worse. The government's chief legal adviser, the Attorney- | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
General, won his case against the Daily Mirror and the Sun saying | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
their reporting broke the law of contempt making a fair trial | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
impossible. I think in this case these two newspapers completely | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
lost the plot. They engaged in a feeding frenzy over which they were | :03:34. | :03:40. | |
trying, as far as I can see, the copy became more extreme until it | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
finally reached the point where it was going to seriously prejudiced | :03:43. | :03:50. | |
the course of justice. This was, said the Lord Chief Justice, very | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
unusual case. That is because there will be no trial of Christopher | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
Jefferies. We know he had nothing to do with the murder and another | :03:59. | :04:05. | |
man has admitted killing Joe Yates. But the fact that the published the | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
stories when they did without knowing it that outcome was enough | :04:11. | :04:19. | |
for the court to the find against them. So, a good day for the | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
reputation of an innocent man, but a very bad one for some tabloid | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
newspapers. So, a costly day for the papers, | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
particularly two of them. Joining us now is our Home Affairs | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
correspondent Steve Brodie. Steve, why was the action brought by the | :04:36. | :04:45. | |
Attorney General so significant? The law of contempt is there to | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
make sure that any individual has a fair trial without his or her | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
reputation been diminished in any way or written or broadcast which | :04:51. | :04:57. | |
may sway the mind of the Jura. The Attorney-General represents the | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
grinding courts in cases such as this one. So how unusual is it for | :05:01. | :05:10. | |
a contempt of court action to be brought by him? Almost | :05:10. | :05:18. | |
unprecedented. Nowadays there is a great deal of comment. I think it | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
is recognised that further comment and coverage may be permitted, but | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
the statute is very clear, but, must not create as substantial risk | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
of producing the course of justice. If newspaper journalists give that | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
in mind that will not get into trouble. Now, earlier today eight | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
papers apologised unreservedly to Christopher Jefferies for the way | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
they portrayed him when he was arrested. This was in the separate | :05:40. | :05:46. | |
libel case. Could you see this action coming? We can remember the | :05:46. | :05:54. | |
intense interest in this case. Even on Christmas Day when her body was | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
found, you could not move for journalists. Many commentators felt | :05:58. | :06:06. | |
this was a disaster waiting for the tabloids. The law of libel is quite | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
clear cut. Here is a senior lecturer in journalism at the | :06:10. | :06:16. | |
University of the West of England. It was clear from early on but | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
things were going wrong in the way the police investigation has been | :06:20. | :06:27. | |
reported. There was a lot of emotion around the discovery of | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
John Yates Pot Black body. The way that Mr Jeff Rich has been | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
represented in the media suggested that journalists were making an | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
assumption about his guilt and the language used in stories made me | :06:38. | :06:45. | |
very concerned. So how much money can Mr Jefferies expect to get? | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
London has the reputation of being the libel capital of the world's | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
with payouts in the hundreds of thousands of Pounds are not | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
uncommon. It used figures have had to settle, so we can assume that | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
the final payout will be very substantial indeed. Thank you very | :07:03. | :07:10. | |
much for joining us. Investigations are underway to | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
determine if a set of remains found in South Korea are those of a | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
Gloucestershire soldier. The remains were found near the site of | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
the Battle of Imjin River. The Glorious Glosters fought there | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
during the Korean War 60 years ago. Steve Knibbs has our exclusive | :07:22. | :07:27. | |
report. In the demilitarised zone between | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
North and South Korea painstaking work is going on to uncover the war | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
dead. Investigators were brought to one particular spot by this man, | :07:35. | :07:41. | |
Lee Chang Mo. As a child he saw his father bury the body of a prisoner | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
of war shortly after the battle of Imjin River. And, 60 years later, | :07:45. | :07:51. | |
his memory led to a set of remains being found. "He died for Korea" he | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
says, "God Bless Him". Back in April Lee Chang Mo met veterans on | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
the 60th anniversary of the battle. He told me what he remembered of | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
the fallen soldier. After the man died and my father buried the body, | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
a translator with the Chinese told me he was from the UK and a | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
Gloucester soldier. These men came here to Korea to save us and I | :08:12. | :08:19. | |
can't find the words to thank them enough. With care and dignity, the | :08:19. | :08:24. | |
remains were taken away for analysis. In these Korean labs, DNA | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
has been taken and artefacts are examined, all vital clues for | :08:26. | :08:33. | |
identification. That evidence is then sent here 5,000 miles away to | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
the Joint Casualty and Compassionate Centre in Gloucester. | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
With so many other regiments involved in the battle, staff now | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
have to try and work out if the soldier is from the Gloucestershire | :08:43. | :08:53. | |
regiment or not. If we can identify them, we will then trace the family. | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
We still have a lot of work to do and whether we identify them or do | :08:58. | :09:04. | |
not, whether he is known or not, or in a regiment. Roy Mills, from the | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
Forest of Dean, was a 19-year-old soldier in the Glosters at the | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
battle of Imjin River. He had colleagues that went missing and | :09:10. | :09:16. | |
welcomes the work the South Koreans are doing. It is a good thing. If | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
this happened with people from the first and second world war and they | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
have been buried with military honours, so I think it should | :09:22. | :09:27. | |
happen with the once in Korea. the remains are proved to be a | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
Gloster, then he'll be buried alongside his fallen comrades at | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
the national cemetery in Busan, more than 60 years after he gave | :09:33. | :09:41. | |
his life You are watching BBC Points West. | :09:41. | :09:51. | |

Two companies have been fined �300,000 after a man fell to his | :10:09. | :10:15. | |
death while working by the side of the M5 in North Somerset. Cecil | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
Grant died in 2006 after being sent out at night to fix a traffic | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
camera. His family today told BBC Points West that no amount of money | :10:23. | :10:32. | |
was worth it. Dickon Hooper was in court. | :10:32. | :10:37. | |
It does not get easier to live without him. Cecil Grant died after | :10:37. | :10:42. | |
falling 16 feet here from the M5 near Clevedon. This CCTV footage | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
shows him and a colleague trying to repair a traffic camera on the | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
motorway that night in 2006. He stepped over the barrier to make | :10:48. | :10:53. | |
the repairs and fell. There was no risk assessment and he'd had to | :10:53. | :11:02. | |
bring his own torch. Cecil Grant was employed by a company that was | :11:02. | :11:07. | |
a sub contractor to another company. Both companies have already pleaded | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
guilty to breaking health and safety regulations, breaches which | :11:11. | :11:19. | |
were a significant factor in Mr Grant has no debt. Circo was fined | :11:19. | :11:25. | |
�200,000, and the other company �100,000. They ordered to split the | :11:25. | :11:30. | |
costs and their barristers in the Court Room apologise to the family. | :11:30. | :11:39. | |
I would rather pay �300,000 and have a dance - - have a father. It | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
could be 3 billion, it doesn't worry me. It would never get a bad | :11:44. | :11:53. | |
- - get my father back. We live with this day in day out. After the | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
inquest into Cecil Grant's death, the coroner said he wanted to see | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
un-climbable barriers on this part of the M5 We drove the whole | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
junction and found none. But other improvements have been promised by | :12:02. | :12:11. | |
the company's involved. We pleaded guilty as early as we couldn't have | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
fully accepted our responsibility for this accent. Most importantly, | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
we have put in place policies and procedures to make sure there will | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
never be a repeat of such a tragic accident. Cold comfort, perhaps, | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
for this family. They have once again had to listen to the details | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
of how Cecil Grant was failed by those who had a duty of care to | :12:30. | :12:35. | |
look after him. Now earlier this week we told you | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
the story of a German bomber shot down over Bridgwater in World War | :12:38. | :12:43. | |
II discovered in someone's back garden. Well, many of you called us | :12:43. | :12:49. | |
up fascinated by the tale. And one of your stories caught our interest, | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
that of a nurse who treated the German crew for pitchfork wounds! | :12:52. | :13:01. | |
Andrew Plant's been finding out The people of Puriton took their | :13:01. | :13:03. | |
home guard duties seriously. The crashed Heinkel lay demolished but | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
the Germans inside it survived. It seems the reception they received | :13:06. | :13:16. | |
:13:16. | :13:16. | ||
on the ground Was as terrifying as the crash itself. That was denied | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
the bomber came down in the field... Delia Temlett was a young nurse in | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
the local hospital. During her night shift, in came four shaken | :13:23. | :13:32. | |
Germans bleeding from the prongs of a farmer's fork. They looked as | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
though they were pitch for Quins. They had landed and the farmer's | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
field and a farmer had gone out to them. Locals had surrounded the | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
plane and, using their pitchforks as persuasion, took the pilots | :13:42. | :13:52. | |
:13:52. | :13:55. | ||
captive. I could see them coming down all over the field. Some had | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
gone out with shot guns, thinking it was an invasion. This week, | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
archaeologists dug up engine parts, bullets, even the Mercedes Benz | :14:02. | :14:11. | |
engine badge, Which have lain here since August 14th, 1940. At the | :14:11. | :14:17. | |
time, it was frightening. It could have landed on the hospital. I | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
suppose we thought about that afterwards. As the plane came down, | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
the pilot and crew parachuted out and were met with a triple-pronged | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
attack as the people of Puriton played their part protecting the | :14:27. | :14:37. | |
:14:37. | :14:43. | ||
home front. And Delia played her part in patching them up. | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
This evening, the Bristol Harbour Festival is finally underway. This | :14:47. | :14:51. | |
year, its celebrating its 40th anniversary. | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
The festival has become a major summer attraction for the city and | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
it's thought it brings in around �10 million to the local economy. | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
As you can imagine, there's been quite a buzz down at the harbour | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
all day. Jules Hyam's there now to tell us more about what's been | :15:04. | :15:11. | |
going on. We can see a little bit of | :15:11. | :15:13. | |
Bristol's industrial heritage and on the other side, its maritime | :15:14. | :15:20. | |
heritage. 40 years old it is, and throughout that whole time, the | :15:20. | :15:25. | |
festival has been summoned up by three key words. Bristol Harbour | :15:25. | :15:32. | |
Festival. Bristol - it's a city that has | :15:32. | :15:38. | |
always had a connection with the water. The name itself is from the | :15:38. | :15:45. | |
Saxon, Brigd Stow - the place by the bridge. And from here, ships | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
have set out to explore and discover, and to trade. Bordeaux | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
Quay owes its name to the city's business links with France - wine | :15:51. | :16:01. | |
:16:01. | :16:01. | ||
came in and textiles went out. All of that trade relied on Bristol's | :16:01. | :16:06. | |
artificial harbour. There was for a while a plan to turn all this into | :16:06. | :16:16. | |
:16:16. | :16:18. | ||
a motorway. Back then, the harbour was a time the lead. But a | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
dedicated bunch put on a water festival to show off the value of | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
the city's harbour and the following year - this is how the | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
fledgling Harbour festival looked... In the past 40 years it, like so | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
much else, has changed, and the Harbour Festival has become a key | :16:30. | :16:40. | |
:16:40. | :16:49. | ||
part of the city's summer programme. Yes, it is a giant iron man. It is | :16:49. | :16:54. | |
called Ironman. It is not a robot, because it is under the control of | :16:54. | :16:59. | |
a theatre group. He has a special relationship with a character | :16:59. | :17:06. | |
called Hogarth. It is his discovery and his initial reaction is to be | :17:06. | :17:14. | |
scared. The stardom it -- start to develop a real friendship. There | :17:14. | :17:18. | |
will be all sorts of acts appearing over the weekend on all sorts of | :17:18. | :17:24. | |
stages. 40 years later, the main attraction remains the water. | :17:24. | :17:29. | |
The main attraction is the water, looking very calm at the moment. We | :17:29. | :17:38. | |
had a tug-of-war between two votes there. It will be very relaxing | :17:38. | :17:43. | |
this weekend. We will be here almost all weekend. We will be | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
broadcasting from a big screen there and looking at the dance | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
stage, just one of many things happening over the weekend. | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
Sport, and in cricket, former England bowler Jon Lewis is leaving | :17:52. | :17:55. | |
Gloucestershire at the end of the season, after 17 years with the | :17:55. | :17:58. | |
club. The 35-year-old has agreed a deal to move to Surrey next year. | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
He's played for England 16 times during his time at Gloucestershire. | :18:02. | :18:04. | |
On the field, Somerset have bowled themselves back into the County | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
Championship title race with an impressive win over Worcestershire. | :18:07. | :18:10. | |
After two high-scoring innings over the first three days of the match, | :18:10. | :18:12. | |
Somerset then dismissed Worcestershire for just 95 today. | :18:12. | :18:20. | |
They won the game by an innings and eight runs. | :18:20. | :18:23. | |
Football, and Swindon Town manager Paolo Di Canio will be a guest on | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
BBC Wiltshire's phone-in this evening. The Italian, who took over | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
in the summer, will be taking fans questions on air from 7pm. Swindon | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
start the new season in a week's time at home to Crewe. | :18:33. | :18:35. | |
Tomorrow, two of the West's most successful sportsmen and women ever | :18:35. | :18:40. | |
to emerge from the region will get married in Scotland. The bride is | :18:40. | :18:42. | |
the Queen's granddaughter, Zara Phillips, a World Equestrian | :18:42. | :18:48. | |
Champion. The groom, England Rugby Captain, Mike Tindall. They have a | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
house together in Cheltenham in Gloucestershire. David Passmore has | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
been looking back on some highlights of their careers and how | :18:54. | :19:04. | |
:19:04. | :19:09. | ||
his sport brought them together. As the Queen's granddaughter, you | :19:09. | :19:13. | |
certainly have a helping hand. But the coming equestrian world | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
champion on a horse he trained yourself requires considerable | :19:16. | :19:23. | |
skill. Her world title and 2006 Sport success at the European | :19:23. | :19:30. | |
Championships the year before. so great for the team. We did not | :19:30. | :19:38. | |
come in as favourites. achievements won her the BBC Sports | :19:38. | :19:47. | |
personality of the Year awards. It wasn't all plain sailing. As this | :19:47. | :19:52. | |
fall short. A privileged upbringing but no royal title. Her parents | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
assured her freedom away from the press. She caught the eye of the | :19:56. | :20:00. | |
tabloids as a teenager when she showed her rebellious streak. She | :20:00. | :20:04. | |
has a sharp eye for business, attracting high-profile sponsors. | :20:05. | :20:09. | |
The Palace vetoed the deal with Hello magazine to cover the wedding. | :20:09. | :20:13. | |
They have been an established couple for rape years. There are | :20:13. | :20:20. | |
often seen at the Cheltenham races. The first met during the Rugby | :20:20. | :20:27. | |
World Cup in 2003, introduced by Prince Harry. Mike had joined Bath | :20:27. | :20:32. | |
is an 18-year-old. He returned with his winner's medal along with team- | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
mates, who are to be his best men. Mike Tindall moved from Bath to | :20:37. | :20:46. | |
Gloucester in 2005. His England career in Minster 70 caps so far, | :20:46. | :20:50. | |
the highlight being captain for much of this year's victorious Six | :20:50. | :20:55. | |
Nations campaign. A rugby man through and through. He and his | :20:55. | :20:59. | |
mates spent a reported �12,000 in five hours as part of his stag do | :20:59. | :21:05. | |
in America. His drinking has led to brushes with the law over the years. | :21:05. | :21:08. | |
When a tie the knot tomorrow, it will be a very different affair to | :21:08. | :21:14. | |
her cousin Prince William's recent wedding to Kate Middleton. It is | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
expected to be a lot more in keeping with their slightly more | :21:18. | :21:22. | |
down-to-earth sporting lifestyle. Well, on the guest list tomorrow, | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
the Queen and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. And of course, with | :21:26. | :21:28. | |
every wedding, there's the usual speculation. What will Zara's dress | :21:28. | :21:38. | |
:21:38. | :21:42. | ||
be like, and will Mike wear a kilt? There'll be no horsing about this | :21:42. | :21:47. | |
weekend. The wedding will take place here tomorrow at 3pm tomorrow. | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
Rather like a couple themselves, this will be a wedding without pomp | :21:50. | :21:56. | |
and ceremony. Similar to Kate's, the Church will be sold -- | :21:56. | :22:01. | |
decorated with tree branches. Stargazer lilies have also been | :22:01. | :22:06. | |
ordered. Her dress has been designed by Stuart pardon, bit | :22:06. | :22:09. | |
Queen's favourite designer. The brief is rumoured to beat Classic | :22:09. | :22:14. | |
with a twist. Haddad, like so many fathers of the bride, is a little | :22:14. | :22:22. | |
sketchy on the detail. I am the last to know what is going on. We | :22:22. | :22:26. | |
will get back a couple of days before the wedding and it will hope | :22:26. | :22:30. | |
will be organised. At their local pub in Cheltenham, regulars were | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
keen to wish them well. Have a fantastic day and enjoy every | :22:34. | :22:42. | |
moment. Have a fabulous life together. Congratulations, have a | :22:42. | :22:48. | |
fantastic day. Have a brilliant day and hope you have a very happy | :22:48. | :22:53. | |
marriage in Cheltenham. graduation from everyone in your | :22:53. | :22:58. | |
local pub. There will be no honeymoon. Mike is due back in the | :22:58. | :23:04. | |
England rugby training camp on Sunday, zapper will be preparing. | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
The soon-to-be Mr and Mrs Tindall probably wouldn't have it any other | :23:08. | :23:18. | |
:23:18. | :23:20. | ||
way. Well, a pre-wedding party will get | :23:20. | :23:23. | |
underway tonight on board the Royal Yacht Britannia. BBC Scotland's | :23:23. | :23:25. | |
Andrew Kerr is there. Andrew, what's the atmosphere like up there | :23:25. | :23:33. | |
tonight? An absolutely beautiful leaving here. We saw our motorcade | :23:33. | :23:38. | |
arriving and we're sure they will have boarded the Royal Yacht behind | :23:38. | :23:43. | |
his, but we are being kept far back. I think some other people here were | :23:43. | :23:47. | |
a bit disappointed when the motorcade went in that way. The | :23:47. | :23:52. | |
Royal Yacht is one of Zara's favourite royal -- holiday memories. | :23:52. | :23:55. | |
She used to tour around the north of Scotland when the yacht used to | :23:55. | :24:00. | |
sail. The Queen famously wept when it was decommission so it is a | :24:00. | :24:03. | |
welcome home party above the odd this evening. Have you spotted any | :24:03. | :24:13. | |
famous faces yet? Is Her Majesty expected? We've not seen any famous | :24:13. | :24:17. | |
faces, unfortunately, we have been kept so far back. We saw a coach: | :24:17. | :24:22. | |
but it went in pretty quickly. Her Majesty is not expected here | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
tonight and she is thought to still be in Balmoral in the north-east of | :24:26. | :24:29. | |
Scotland. She will probably fly down by helicopter from there for | :24:29. | :24:36. | |
the wedding. She will then fly back to the north-east again. I don't | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
think she will be staying at the Palace of Holyrood House tomorrow. | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
There will be plenty of opportunity for quite a late night tomorrow and | :24:44. | :24:50. | |
on the yacht tonight. Now, lots of events on this weekend | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
- There's Womad in Wiltshire, the Chipping Sodbury Jazz Festival with | :24:53. | :24:58. | |
Kenny Ball headlining, and of course the Harbour Festival. And | :24:58. | :25:08. | |
:25:08. | :25:11. | ||
Ian is there for us now - What's It will be essentially a story of | :25:12. | :25:19. | |
It will be essentially a story of Sky starting similarly to today. | :25:19. | :25:26. | |
The this bought or be open to the public tomorrow. If we look at the | :25:26. | :25:31. | |
headline for the rest of this weekend, it is essentially a dry | :25:31. | :25:36. | |
story. A fairly warm one with a good image of cloud around. Those | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
cloudy skies will predominate over night meaning the night skies will | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
night meaning the night skies will not be much to look at. If you look | :25:44. | :25:49. | |
at the night skies for Saturday into Sunday, there will potentially | :25:49. | :25:53. | |
be some meteor is on view. This is particularly in the early hours of | :25:53. | :25:59. | |
Sunday morning. Let's look at the wider view into this weekend - the | :25:59. | :26:06. | |
pressure pattern showing high pressure dominating, meaning and a | :26:06. | :26:10. | |
good deal of fine weather. By the end of Sunday, that weather front | :26:10. | :26:13. | |
coming in from the West will bring extra cloud and spots of light rain, | :26:13. | :26:20. | |
at least into West Somerset have nowhere else. Going back in for the | :26:20. | :26:24. | |
detail for the rest of the seedings. What you see just now will pretty | :26:24. | :26:32. | |
much continue. Generally cloudy with some light showers. Those will | :26:32. | :26:38. | |
continue over night. Either side of that, died at cloudy, and a mild | :26:38. | :26:43. | |
night with temperatures of around 15 Celsius. To moral starts much as | :26:43. | :26:50. | |
today. A bit of cloud around and some light showers in the morning. | :26:50. | :26:54. | |
For the rest of the day, it will break up and be a pleasant | :26:54. | :26:59. | |
afternoon with reasonable sunshine around. This bodes well for here | :26:59. | :27:04. | |
and for the festivals. It will have been a warm day with light winds, | :27:04. | :27:10. | |
temperatures up to 20 Celsius. Sunday, here is a snapshot. As | :27:10. | :27:18. | |
similar story with more cloud out West. It should be pleasant enough | :27:18. | :27:23. | |
and dry and warm. Do come down here and dry and warm. Do come down here | :27:23. | :27:30. | |
it should be a fantastic event. Looking nice thankfully. That's all | :27:30. | :27:33. |
