Welcome to Wales Today, live from Cyfarthfa Castle in Merthyr Tydfil, | :00:04. | :00:07. | |
where the Queen has ended the first day of her Diamond Jubilee Tour of | :00:07. | :00:14. | |
Wales. Thousands turned out to see her and the Duke of Edinburgh | :00:14. | :00:22. | |
attend a service at Llandaff Cathedral. It is amazing. The best | :00:22. | :00:29. | |
thing ever. It was really good. At Margam Park she met members of | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
Wales' Grand Slam winning rugby team, surprising them with what she | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
knew about the game. At a time of significant | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
constitutional change we'll be asking how Wales feels about the | :00:38. | :00:48. | |
:00:48. | :00:55. | ||
Good evening our other headlines tonight. | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
After 40 years, Wylfa nuclear reactor 2 shuts down earlier than | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
planned. It has taken them six years but | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
Kate Pierce's family are closer to getting compensation after hospital | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
negligence. Calls for better access to new | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
drugs for cancer patients in Wales but the Assembly Government say | :01:11. | :01:21. | |
:01:21. | :01:39. | ||
Good evening, welcome to Cyfartha Castle. A few hours ago, the Queen | :01:39. | :01:49. | |
:01:49. | :01:50. | ||
was being shown around his museum. This talk is a trip down memory | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
lane for the Queen. She has been to many places where she has visited | :01:55. | :02:05. | |
:02:05. | :02:07. | ||
previously. Her day began at Llandaff Cathedral. These | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
schoolchildren did not mind the long wait. The first event of their | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
two day visit was a national service of thanksgiving at Llandaff | :02:14. | :02:24. | |
:02:24. | :02:24. | ||
Cathedral for the Queen's 60 year reign. It is amazing, the best | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
thing ever. We saw everyone. 600 people attended the service. In | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
his address, the Archbishop of Wales praised the Queen for | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
refusing to airbrush faith out of national life. The service was led | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
by the dean of the cathedral. Not everyone was here to cheer the | :02:38. | :02:48. | |
:02:48. | :02:51. | ||
This is the Cathedral of our current archbishop. It is in the | :02:51. | :03:01. | |
:03:01. | :03:03. | ||
capital city, or rather the capital city is a suburb of this parish. | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
There was a small republican protest. The Royal couple's next | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
stop was Margam Park where they met hundreds of people at a reception. | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
Among those waiting for them at the Orangerie were Wales' Grand Slam | :03:13. | :03:22. | |
winning rugby team. She must have read up on everyone here. She | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
recognised the team and congratulated as an hour success | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
this year. After a lunch of sewin, Welsh lamb and Welsh cakes, it was | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
then on to Cyfarthfa Castle in Merthyr Tydfil. One famous former | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
pupil of Cyfarthfa High School was delighted to meet the Queen again, | :03:37. | :03:46. | |
proudly wearing his OBE. I attended the school and had a fantastic time | :03:46. | :03:55. | |
here. I said I did not live in a castle like her but at least they | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
went to school in one. These two current pupils of Cyfarthfa High | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
had an audience they'll never forget. Tom Higher and Sophie | :04:01. | :04:09. | |
Davies were only told a fortnight ago who the special guests would be. | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
Police say the two men were arrested on suspicion of public | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
order offences. Tomorrow the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh will | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
visit Ebbw Vale and Glanusk near Crickhowell. They'll start the day | :04:20. | :04:29. | |
with their third visit to Aberfan since the disaster in 1966. The | :04:29. | :04:37. | |
curator or showed the royal guests around the museum today. | :04:37. | :04:45. | |
visited during wartime with her father. Did she tell you how she | :04:45. | :04:52. | |
felt about being here today? Not in so many words. But she was highly | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
interested seeing all the artefact. There are a couple of exhibits that | :04:57. | :05:07. | |
:05:07. | :05:08. | ||
caught her eye. This is a portrait by the grandfather of golf Paris. | :05:08. | :05:17. | |
It is of his grandmother. It was painted shortly after she had heard | :05:17. | :05:23. | |
one of her grandsons had been killed in the First World War. She | :05:23. | :05:33. | |
:05:33. | :05:34. | ||
remarked that with this story prof Harris must have been thinking | :05:34. | :05:43. | |
about them when he sang Two Little Boys. Tell us about this. Merthyr | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
Tydfil has a long working-class tradition of politics in the town. | :05:48. | :05:54. | |
One of the Chartists developed this first automatic ballot box in the | :05:54. | :06:01. | |
world. Each candidate had their own box and each voter had one coin. | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
They would put the talking in and it would be counted on the face. No | :06:06. | :06:12. | |
possibility of interference. The Queen was quite interested in this. | :06:13. | :06:19. | |
Let us move on to the last exhibit she took an interest in. | :06:19. | :06:28. | |
stresses by Laura Ashley and she was born in the area. They are | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
telling it the traditional upbringing she had and the | :06:32. | :06:41. | |
Christian had an -- a huge -- influence on the designs she made | :06:41. | :06:47. | |
it. The Queen was very interested in that. Thank you very much for | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
talking to as an sharing some of your thoughts of the day. | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
Today's Wales and its place within the United Kingdom is of course | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
very different to what it was 60 years ago. This Diamond Jubilee | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
comes at a time of great constitutional change. What will | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
the Royals mean to us in the future. Just celebrities or something far | :07:04. | :07:14. | |
:07:14. | :07:16. | ||
more significant. She has opened bridges and tunnels here and given | :07:16. | :07:23. | |
speech after speech. Then there have been the handshakes, countless | :07:23. | :07:31. | |
handshakes. North, south, east and west. She has done Wales. This is | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
Welshpool, the Queen came here a couple of years ago. I was here | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
that day and the weather was very different. This high street was | :07:41. | :07:49. | |
thronged with people. This is as good a place as any to test the | :07:49. | :07:54. | |
temperature of Royal sentiment. It was a trade mark royal walkabout. | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
The Queen made direct contact with her people. The people of | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
Montgomeryshire could not get enough. Any local critics would | :08:03. | :08:09. | |
have stayed away that day. But for those who were there, it was an | :08:09. | :08:16. | |
event to remember. You could see people with flags all the way. It | :08:16. | :08:26. | |
:08:26. | :08:28. | ||
was a good day. I think they are marvellous. There is a place for | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
the Royal Family for the bid is part of being British. Long live | :08:31. | :08:41. | |
:08:41. | :08:47. | ||
the Queen. Few of us are aware of the Queen's fall constitutional | :08:47. | :08:57. | |
relevance. Today, the visit to South Wales was marked by | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
republican rallies who were keen to point out a constitutional monarchy | :09:02. | :09:09. | |
is not the only way. The Queen is an irrelevance. The United Kingdom | :09:09. | :09:19. | |
:09:19. | :09:25. | ||
is disunited and falling apart. It Then there is the question of what | :09:26. | :09:33. | |
happens next? The nature of our democracy is evolving. The Assembly | :09:33. | :09:39. | |
is here to represent the interests of Wales and its people. The future | :09:39. | :09:44. | |
succession looks assured. What is not assured is the United Kingdom | :09:44. | :09:50. | |
or kingdoms they made rain over. will probably still have a monarchy | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
in 50 years' time but in many ways the whole shape of the United | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
Kingdom could be very different. We could have an independent Scotland | :09:59. | :10:07. | |
and probably further devolution to Wales. We could have a few | :10:07. | :10:15. | |
figureheads that represent British Gas. It is the ability to evolve | :10:15. | :10:24. | |
which has been key to the survival of the monarchy so far. Subjects we | :10:24. | :10:32. | |
Interesting times for the constitution. Join us a little | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
later in the programme when I will be talking to some of the school | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
children who have performed for the Queen earlier today. Now back to | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
the studio for the rest of the day's names. | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
Thanks Lucy, and we'll have more from Lucy on the Royal visit before | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
the end of the programme. Let's look now at other news making the | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
headlines here in Wales. People working in the nuclear | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
industry in North Wales will be offered help to find new jobs as | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
the Wylfa power station nears the end of its life. News of the �4 | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
million package comes as one of Wylfa's two reactors is shut down | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
for the final time after 41 years of electricity generation. Wylfa | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
was completed in 1971 and since then its two reactors have produced | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
enough power to provide two-thirds of the UK's total electricity | :11:12. | :11:18. | |
demand for a year. But it uses a fuel called Magnox which is being | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
phased out. Levels of fuel in Reactor 2 have almost been used up. | :11:22. | :11:31. | |
Last night it was shut down permanently. This again to face | :11:31. | :11:38. | |
that a nuclear power station has a finite life, the same as coal power | :11:39. | :11:46. | |
stations. We need new electricity generation for the future. But that | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
future is in doubt here, with the recent news that two electricity | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
giants have decided not to go ahead with a new nuclear power station on | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
the same site. That means uncertainty for young technicians | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
like Bryn. Though his passion for engineering should keep him in | :11:57. | :12:05. | |
employment. Since there was little was interested in fixing things and | :12:05. | :12:13. | |
inventing things. Engineering was the path for myself. There are many | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
career options I can take from this. The Welsh Government has launched a | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
4 million pound project to support and retrain 1200 workers at Wylfa | :12:20. | :12:27. | |
and Trawsfynydd for work outside the nuclear industry. There are | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
many skilled personnel there. A lot of youngsters and leaving the | :12:31. | :12:40. | |
island. It is important that we look at the skills agenda I think | :12:40. | :12:47. | |
we have to be very positive that we will have another power station | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
there him and something will come. At Wylfa, apprentices are still | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
being trained despite the looming end of production here in two years | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
time. That's to ensure that whatever replaces this plant | :12:57. | :13:03. | |
benefits from the talents of the current workforce. They will need | :13:03. | :13:13. | |
:13:13. | :13:14. | ||
the skills that are what people have. What has been achieved is | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
testament to the skills and commitment of the people who have | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
worked there. Electricity generation may be winding down but | :13:20. | :13:21. | |
preparations for the future are gearing up. | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
Up to 100 jobs are being cut at the HSBC call centre in Swansea. The | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
firm says it will try to redeploy as many people as possible. | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
Financial advisers are also among those being made redundant as part | :13:31. | :13:41. | |
:13:41. | :13:48. | ||
of the bank's cost cutting plans announced today. | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
The insurance company Zurich is to cut 113 jobs at its Cardiff office. | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
It says it is restructuring its business following the launch of a | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
new online car insurance product. The posts will close next year. | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
It has taken six years, but today the family of Kate Pierce came a | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
step closer to getting compensation for the misdiagnosis which left her | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
severely brain damaged. Her meningitis was passed off by a | :14:06. | :14:08. | |
junior doctor as tonsillitis. Today, a judge approved their negligence | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
case. At six-years-old, Kate Pierce needs round the clock care, both at | :14:12. | :14:17. | |
home, and here at school. She can't communicate. She has severe sight | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
and hearing loss, epilepsy and breathing problems. She has a | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
curvature of the spine and painful hips. But she wasn't born with | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
these problems. In March 2006, at nine-months-old, Kate developed | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
meningitis which was wrongly diagnosed by a junior doctor at | :14:31. | :14:41. | |
:14:41. | :14:42. | ||
Wrexham Maelor Hospital as tonsilitis. It was a source of | :14:42. | :14:48. | |
comfort for us that we found that it was not the case. We just relied | :14:48. | :14:57. | |
on what the doctor told us. If we had known then we would not have | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
left the hospital. Kate spent seven months at Liverpool's Alder Hey | :15:00. | :15:08. | |
Hospital and was left with severe brain damage. She stops breathing | :15:08. | :15:16. | |
when she is sleeping so we or carers have to be awake around a 24 | :15:16. | :15:20. | |
hours a day. Kate also has a nine- year-old sister, and dad Mark said | :15:20. | :15:30. | |
:15:30. | :15:32. | ||
her condition has a huge impact on the family. It is a massive strain. | :15:32. | :15:40. | |
As the impact on the family, it is horrific. Looking after her and | :15:40. | :15:45. | |
fighting a six-year legal case has been a drain. A spokesperson for | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
the health board said that aspects of the care were not of an | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
acceptable standard. It said the board had apologised to the family | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
and lessons had been learned. The amount of compensation Kate | :15:54. | :15:57. | |
receives will be decided at a later date, but the family's solicitor | :15:57. | :15:59. | |
said it is likely to be a seven figure sum. | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
Three men have been arrested by North Wales Police investigating | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
the naming of the victim in the Ched Evans rape case. The Wales and | :16:05. | :16:08. | |
Sheffield United footballer was jailed for five years last week for | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
raping a 19-year-old woman in a hotel room. Her name was | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
subsequently published on Twitter. Victims of sexual offences are | :16:14. | :16:18. | |
entitled to anonymity for life by law. Two men are being detained in | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
Sheffield under Section Five of the Sexual Offences Amendments Act. The | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
other is being held on suspicion of malicious communication. | :16:26. | :16:29. | |
Celebrity zoo owner Anna Ryder Richardson has pleaded not guilty | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
to breaking health and safety rules at Manorhouse wildlife Park near | :16:32. | :16:36. | |
Tenby. A mother and her three-year- old son were seriously injured in | :16:36. | :16:41. | |
2010 after a heavy branch at the park fell on them. The television | :16:41. | :16:43. | |
presenter and her husband Colin MacDougall both deny two separate | :16:43. | :16:49. | |
alleged breaches. A former soldier blinded by an IRA | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
bomb has won a �200,000-payout after being victimised at work | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
because of his disability. Andrew Bull worked as a telephonist for | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
Blaenau Gwent Council for 25 years but was subjected to jokes and | :16:59. | :17:06. | |
taunting before being made redundant. | :17:06. | :17:10. | |
As a young man, Andrew Bull had been looking forward to a long | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
career in the Army. During his time in the Welsh Guards, he rose to | :17:13. | :17:18. | |
become his regiment's heavyweight boxing champion. But in 1983 he has | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
was blinded by an IRA bomb while on a tour of duty in Belfast. | :17:22. | :17:26. | |
Returning to Wales, he got a job at Blaenau Gwent Council as a | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
telephonist. He worked there for more than 20 years before the | :17:29. | :17:39. | |
:17:39. | :17:45. | ||
problems began. I felt humiliated and embarrassed in front of work | :17:46. | :17:55. | |
:17:56. | :17:57. | ||
colleagues. I felt because of my disability, I could not address on | :17:58. | :18:07. | |
:18:08. | :18:09. | ||
a 1-1. Today, a tribunal awarded him �200,000 after finding he been | :18:09. | :18:16. | |
victimised and bullied because of his disability. I felt anger and | :18:16. | :18:24. | |
frustration. I felt there was the victim in all of this. I didn't | :18:24. | :18:28. | |
want to lose my job for standing up for my human rights. The Chief | :18:28. | :18:30. | |
Executive of Blaenau Gwent Council said he had apologised personally | :18:30. | :18:34. | |
to Andrew Bull and that the council had a strong track record of | :18:34. | :18:36. | |
supporting people with disabilities. He said the council had learned | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
lessons. Andrew Bull now hopes to return to work as a complimentary | :18:39. | :18:41. | |
therapist, but says the compensation will help him support | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
his family until that time. Family and friends of a newly | :18:44. | :18:47. | |
married woman from Cardiff have raised tens of thousands of pounds | :18:47. | :18:51. | |
to pay for her to have cancer drugs that are available for free in | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
England. Katie Rees' plight has lead to renewed calls for the | :18:54. | :18:57. | |
establishment of a Cancer Drugs Fund like the one available to | :18:57. | :19:04. | |
English NHS patients. The 'Why Not Wales?' campaign say cancer | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
patients here are increasingly disadvantaged. But the Welsh | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
Government deny this. 30-year-old Katie Rees and husband Ioan were | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
married back in February but their wedding day came at a very | :19:13. | :19:17. | |
traumatic time. She had just been diagnosed with advanced bowel | :19:17. | :19:23. | |
cancer. But to make matters worse, the cancer drug her consultant | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
wanted to give her, Avastin, isn't funded on the NHS in Wales. Avastin | :19:27. | :19:37. | |
:19:37. | :19:38. | ||
doesn't cure cancer, but can give patients more time. It is something | :19:38. | :19:41. | |
that could potentially save someone's life. You would think | :19:41. | :19:46. | |
they would fund it for you. I could not believe it. In England, cancer | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
patients can now access new treatments as a �200-million Cancer | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
Drug Fund has been set up to fast- track new drugs not yet approved by | :19:53. | :19:58. | |
NICE. There's no such fund in Wales. To get the funding she needs, | :19:58. | :20:07. | |
Katie's being helped by Kate Spall. These people do not have the | :20:07. | :20:12. | |
authority to over rule. Kate's mother Pamela died five years ago. | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
She had initially been refused a life extending new drug for kidney | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
cancer by her local health board in Denbighshire. Since then, Kate's | :20:18. | :20:21. | |
won funding for hundreds of patients, guiding them through the | :20:21. | :20:28. | |
complicated NHS appeals process. Some treatments available in | :20:28. | :20:34. | |
England are refused in Wales. not a view shared by doctors. | :20:34. | :20:36. | |
Professor John Wagstaff the leading cancer specialist in Wales has this | :20:36. | :20:46. | |

stark warning. If things carry on as they are in Wales, which | :21:01. | :21:05. | |
patients will be at a considerable disadvantage to patients in England | :21:05. | :21:10. | |
because be just will not have access to these new medicines. | :21:10. | :21:12. | |
one of Wales' leading Health economists believes the Welsh | :21:12. | :21:19. | |
system is more transparent and fair. Taking money out of the have pot | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
for cancer drugs means other patients cannot get the resources | :21:23. | :21:29. | |
they parrot would be entitled to and in overall terms would give | :21:29. | :21:33. | |
more bang for our back. Katie and Ioan's friends and family have so | :21:33. | :21:36. | |
far raised more than �30,000 to fund her treatment. Treatment she | :21:36. | :21:38. | |
would get free if she lived in England. | :21:38. | :21:40. | |
Let's go back now to Cyfarthfa Castle, Merthyr Tydfil, and the | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
Queen's Diamond Jubilee visit to Wales. Lucy's there for us. Lucy, | :21:43. | :21:53. | |
:21:53. | :21:54. | ||
it's been a day of flag waving and cheering? Yes, the Queen had a warm | :21:54. | :22:03. | |
welcome and that is for sure. The high school is still based here. | :22:03. | :22:10. | |
This is your 100 here. How did it feel to have the Queen Mark this | :22:10. | :22:19. | |
occasion? To have the Queen in her 60th year of rain in an hour 100 | :22:19. | :22:24. | |
year as a school is something that was quite remarkable. The school | :22:25. | :22:30. | |
has quite a remarkable history as part of the castle? Indeed. This | :22:30. | :22:36. | |
made it extra special. You are in charge of a number of young pupils. | :22:36. | :22:41. | |
What is their take on the monarchy? Today stay feel it is relevant? | :22:41. | :22:47. | |
Things like today make it extra special. The reception the Queen | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
received from the students of this school and the history of this | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
school and the way in which the monarchy has been here and so many | :22:54. | :22:59. | |
occasions, the pupils themselves were excited and up for this visit. | :22:59. | :23:06. | |
It was all that we wanted it to be. Take you very much. You can only | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
imagine how nerve-racking it must be to perform in front of the Queen. | :23:09. | :23:15. | |
Some of the pupils did that. I had some of your performance and our | :23:15. | :23:21. | |
viewers may have seen it in the report earlier. How was it? It was | :23:21. | :23:24. | |
very nerve-racking. We were excited at the same time. We have done a | :23:24. | :23:28. | |
lot of performing that this was bigger than anything else we have | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
done. It was quite an intimate performance. They were very close | :23:32. | :23:39. | |
to you. It was a real privilege. We were taking it all in. It was a | :23:39. | :23:44. | |
real honour. At that it was an excellent performance. Well done. | :23:44. | :23:51. | |
Head girl, so the, what the Queen say to you and how did you feel | :23:51. | :23:57. | |
about the visit? She asked us about our role as head boy and head kill | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
and our relationship with the senior team put a bit as great to | :24:00. | :24:06. | |
see her in our school environment. What do you feel about the monarchy, | :24:07. | :24:13. | |
do you feel it is still relevant for young people? Having met her, | :24:13. | :24:18. | |
it makes me have an appreciation for tradition and a lot of respect | :24:18. | :24:28. | |
:24:28. | :24:29. | ||
for the Duke of Edinburgh as well. Not great weather today for the | :24:29. | :24:39. | |
:24:39. | :24:43. | ||
Queen's visit. It should be a bit better tomorrow. It is really quite | :24:43. | :24:50. | |
chilly here this evening. A few places saw the sun and stayed dry | :24:50. | :24:55. | |
but many others wet. Heavy downpours in Mid Wales, the north | :24:55. | :25:01. | |
and north-east. We're not out of There is still a Met Office heavy | :25:01. | :25:04. | |
rain warning in force valid for the next few hours. Yesterday, Tredegar | :25:04. | :25:08. | |
was the wettest place in Britain. And so far this month 134mm of rain | :25:08. | :25:13. | |
has fallen. That's over five inches and more than the monthly average. | :25:13. | :25:16. | |
Tonight, heavy rain and showers will slowly ease. More places | :25:16. | :25:22. | |
becoming dry. Breezy on the north and west coast. Lighter winds | :25:22. | :25:25. | |
inland with lowest temperatures 6 to 8 Celsius. Tomorrow, a bit | :25:25. | :25:30. | |
better. Still plenty of cloud. Some rain, especially in the north. A | :25:30. | :25:33. | |
few showers but during the day it should turn drier and in places | :25:33. | :25:37. | |
brighten-up. The best of the sunshine on Anglesey, the Lleyn | :25:37. | :25:40. | |
Peninsula and in Pembrokeshire. Feeling cool tomorrow with a | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
northerly breeze. Top temperatures only 8 to 11 Celsius. 12 in Cardiff | :25:44. | :25:49. | |
and Newport. So a bit mixed for day two of the Royal Tour. Cloudy and | :25:49. | :25:53. | |
cool. Spots of rain in Crickhowell. Temperatures in Aberfan rising to 9 | :25:53. | :25:59. | |
Celsius. As for the weekend. Saturday the best day. Plenty of | :25:59. | :26:04. | |
cloud. A few spots of rain. The odd shower but some dry and bright | :26:04. | :26:07. | |
weather as well. Mind you, it's a different story for Sunday. Trouble | :26:07. | :26:10. | |
is brewing over Spain with a developing area of low pressure | :26:10. | :26:14. | |
moving into the Bay of Biscay. Sunday looks like a washout. Wet | :26:14. | :26:17. | |
and windy. 1 to 2 inches of rain possible. Strong to gale force | :26:17. | :26:21. | |
easterly winds will make it feel cold. Next week should become a bit | :26:21. | :26:24. | |
warmer. Some sunshine but with showers at times, which could be | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
heavy and thundery. The weather a bit better for the | :26:27. | :26:29. | |
Queen tomorrow. Not completely dry but fewer showers and less rain | :26:30. | :26:36. | |
than today. Back to Lucy inside the castle. | :26:36. | :26:39. | |
Well, the Queen has another busy day lined up tomorrow. She'll be | :26:39. | :26:42. | |
visiting Aberfan in the morning and opening the new Community Primary | :26:42. | :26:48. | |
School. She'll then move on to Ebbw Vale where she'll visit The Works, | :26:48. | :26:51. |
