This is East Midlands Today with Anne Davies and me Quentin Rayner. | :00:05. | :00:15. | |
Tonight, silent remembrance. Armistice Day is marred by | :00:15. | :00:22. | |
communities across the East Midlands. It is moving to see. | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
tonight: farewell to a mother and her two children, found dead in | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
their home. Plus the number of people homeless | :00:30. | :00:36. | |
in a Nottingham is rising. Find out how I cope to sleeping rough for a | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
night. And his nickname, the matchstick | :00:40. | :00:50. | |

man painter, the new exhibition is Good evening, welcome to Friday's | :00:52. | :00:58. | |
programme. On this day the guns fell silent as | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
the Great War finally ended, and silence was observed today, 93 | :01:01. | :01:06. | |
years on. Armistice Day was made all the more | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
memorable this year because the date is 11/11/11. Thousands of | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
people across the East Midlands came together to commemorate it, | :01:12. | :01:22. | |
:01:22. | :01:55. | ||
young and old to remember those who For some, today was especially | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
poignant. At Nottinghamshire's Chetwynd Barracks they remembered a | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
former comrade who was killed in Afghanistan just two days ago. | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
And at the same time hundreds of soldiers from the East Midlands | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
fell silent at their bases in Helmand Province. Our Social | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
Affairs Correspondent, Jeremy Ball, is at Nottingham's Victoria | :02:11. | :02:21. | |
:02:21. | :02:21. | ||
Embankmant. Yes, most of us grew up in the days | :02:21. | :02:28. | |
when remembrance was all about two historical world wars. A tribute to | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
the fading names on these old war memorials. But the recent conflicts | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
in Iraq and Afghanistan have changed all that. Now, for some, | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
it's about remembering close friends. | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
At the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, they stopped and | :02:42. | :02:52. | |
:02:52. | :02:55. | ||
Today, there was a new name on the war memorial at Jutland barracks. | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
Matthew Thornton lost his life just two days ago. Private Thornton was | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
an army reservist who trained at this camp. He was killed by an | :03:03. | :03:10. | |
improvised bomb. There are colleagues of hours. It is a | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
personal day for us and we can pay tribute to those who made the | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
ultimate sacrifice. Of high seas are made people processing through | :03:18. | :03:25. | |
our organisation. -- I see so many. Many of the soldiers here have | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
served in Afghanistan or Iraq and some have lost several friends. | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
when people are losing lives and you are there, you see grown men | :03:33. | :03:39. | |
cry. It really is moving to see. I've lost friends and colleagues, | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
who I have served with, and it is that time way you go and reflect | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
upon these guys and say they deserve at least two minutes to | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
remember them. A several hundred soldiers from the East Midlands | :03:53. | :03:59. | |
have just gone back out to the Helmand province. Today, they were | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
remembering a young private shot dead on patrol just last week. | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
the comrades who have fallen, we always feel for the family and | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
friends. We hope that they are coping as well as they can through | :04:14. | :04:21. | |
these bad times. But also keeping their chins up. We are remembering | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
them ourselves. These two short minutes of silence mean so much | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
when you have been to war, a tribute to fallen friends who will | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
never be forgotten. There'll be more remembrance events | :04:32. | :04:42. | |
on Sunday. Here and at towns and villages across the East Midlands. | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
To remember those who lost their lives in the two world wars and in | :04:46. | :04:52. | |
conflicts that are still going on today. | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
Train services between London and Nottinghamshire are slowly getting | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
back to normal after major problems earlier. A signalling problem at | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
Hendon had halted all services between St Pancras and Luton. | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
Engineers have now repaired the fault. But East Midlands Trains | :05:03. | :05:13. | |
:05:13. | :05:20. | ||
says some delays are still likely tonight. | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
Thieves have stolen Derby's Christmas lights which were due to | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
be switched on next week. They were being kept in storage at Markeaton | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
Park, together with cabling and tools worth more than �20,000. The | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
city council says its desperately trying to find replacements lights. | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
Still to come: we look forward to the weekend's sport. | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
A and the big countdown is on. It will be Children in Need a week | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
today but will we be shivering with cold temperatures or is it going to | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
be mild like the weekend? I'll have the weather at the end of the | :05:44. | :05:53. | |
The funerals have taken place of a mother and her two children who | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
were found dead at their home in Leicester. | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
The congregation was told that the lives of Joy Wathall and her young | :05:59. | :06:05. | |
son and daughter, had ended too early. The BBC was specifically | :06:05. | :06:13. | |
asked to attend. United in death as they were in | :06:13. | :06:23. | |
:06:23. | :06:23. | ||
life. Under a grey overcast skies, family and friends came together to | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
remember them. The three were found dead at their home in Leicester in | :06:27. | :06:34. | |
February. Police believe the children's father killed Joy and | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
the children before taking his own life. The family were due to return | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
to their home city of Sheffield but never made it. Disputes within the | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
family have meant the funerals have only now taken place. Flowers, | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
photographs and teddies were placed on top of the three coffins. During | :06:51. | :06:58. | |
the emotional service, tributes were paid to the three. Eric | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
Clapton's Tears in Heaven was played. Family and friends were | :07:03. | :07:10. | |
told their lives ended too early. They are an outrage. She was a | :07:10. | :07:18. | |
lovely person, always there for us. They are up there. A if you look at | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
the worst day in your life and magnified by 110, that is how bad | :07:22. | :07:29. | |
it has been. It has been a constant nightmare. It is in my mind all the | :07:29. | :07:35. | |
time. I did not expect to bury my daughter and grand kids. Inquests | :07:35. | :07:42. | |
into the deaths are due to be held in January. | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
Next tonight, unravelling the mysterious death in a river. | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
Detectives are trying to trace a shotgun that was used to inflict | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
fatal wounds on a man found dead in the River Trent in Nottinghamshire. | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
At the moment, officers don't believe Peter Nuttall was murdered, | :07:56. | :08:03. | |
but they desperately want to trace the weapon. | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
The superintendent winter leads me to the sport in Nottinghamshire | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
where Peter Nuttall was discovered last month. The 44 year-old roofer | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
from tax food had been missing for three days. His car was found in a | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
nearby car park. Some fishermen saw something in the water, they were | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
not sure what it was. We were called and the police came along | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
and we found his body at this spot. Mr Nuttall had suffered a shotgun | :08:28. | :08:33. | |
wound to the head. He had previously held a shotgun licence. | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
Officers say at the moment, there is nothing to suggest any foul play. | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
But searches of the riverbank and river bed have failed to find the | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
shotgun used. A for full facts are not explained and we need to be | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
able to explain those. -- the full facts. We need to be able to | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
explain them to the coroner, the family and the public because we | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
don't want people to be worried, thinking they could come to some | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
harm. We need to get to the bottom of where this fire Amis. Mr Nuttall | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
was known to the police but not the subject of any ongoing | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
investigation. Anyone with information about the gun for his | :09:10. | :09:19. | |
movement's leading up to his death, is urged to contact police. | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
A 14-year-old girl from Leicester, who's fighting leukaemia for the | :09:21. | :09:26. | |
third time, is appealing for a bone marrow donor to save her life. | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
Bethany Mickelburgh is urging people to attend a special clinic | :09:29. | :09:38. | |
her family has organised at the Leicester Tigers stadium tomorrow. | :09:38. | :09:44. | |
A lot of people have been very kind. Supportive. A Bethany has been | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
overwhelmed by support. Her message is simple. Come to Leicester Tigers | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
tomorrow and you might save her life. It is so simple, or you've | :09:53. | :09:58. | |
got to do is spit in a spot. It would be a privilege if you could | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
be a donor. It is a simple, for our procedure with no operation | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
required. TV personalities are among those keeping her spirits up. | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
Her sister has been instrumental in setting up social networks sides as | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
her family campaign to find a match. Have we got enough coming in? | :10:15. | :10:20. | |
need more. Since finding out one month ago that Bethany had elapsed | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
for a second time, the family have organised a special clinic for | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
anyone aged between 18 and 40 to register as a possible donor at | :10:28. | :10:34. | |
Welford Road. She is a quiet young girl but has an inner determination. | :10:34. | :10:39. | |
That is why people have taken her to their hearts. This event on | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
Saturday, if they come along, and they are a match for her, it is a | :10:43. | :10:48. | |
simple procedure. It is just like donating blood. There is one little | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
girl that would very much appreciate that. About 100 family | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
and friends have been kept busy distributing thousands of the | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
floods. Team that Bethany was out in force at the Leicester City home | :11:00. | :11:05. | |
games last week -- last weekend. The family is all too aware that | :11:05. | :11:12. | |
time is of the essence but remain ever hopeful. | :11:12. | :11:20. | |
Don't forget, it could be you who is the match! | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
It's grim - the reaction of one of our Euro MPs to describe the latest | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
crisis in the eurozone. Today Glenis Willmott met Italians | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
living in the East Midlands to discuss the economic whirlwind | :11:29. | :11:39. | |
:11:39. | :11:41. | ||
that's engulfed their country. It is lunchtime for this Italian | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
family in Derby but it is the economic crisis in Italy that is | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
proving difficult to stomach. Everybody is against Berlusconi so | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
now I say, he has gone, and we will see what the others do, if they are | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
better or worse. Arriving in Derby, you're MP Dennis Willmott has just | :11:59. | :12:05. | |
returned from Brussels. -- Glenys. She is heading for an Italian | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
restaurant, aptly-named the European. She asked restaurant | :12:09. | :12:14. | |
staff about their reaction. Many young people cannot find a job. It | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
is like that are everywhere. A it has dominated the ITV News all week | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
but what is the reaction from non- Italians? -- it has dominated. | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
we make clothes for the Italians, it is the knock-on effect for our | :12:27. | :12:33. | |
people. It is scary, really scary because there are 1 million people | :12:33. | :12:39. | |
from aged 16 to 24 without jobs. asked the Euro MP why the Italian | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
crisis matters so much to us. is one of our biggest markets, the | :12:43. | :12:48. | |
eurozone is a big market. Anything that impacts on the euro as an | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
impact on us. If Italy fails, then we will have massive problems in | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
the UK. We've already got rising unemployment. We don't want to make | :12:55. | :13:01. | |
it any worse. The restaurant manager catches up on of the latest | :13:01. | :13:08. | |
news. His verdict? Don't worry. Italians always find something, an | :13:08. | :13:13. | |
idea. They will get through it. They can do it if they want. With | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
political change under way in Italy, these Italians in Derby have | :13:16. | :13:21. | |
something to drink too. And there will be more political | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
news from the region in the Politics Show this Sunday. Here's | :13:24. | :13:29. | |
Marie Ashby. A Tory leader attacks Labour and | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
Conservative councils for diverting government money meant for housing. | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
And the lawyer who is taking the government to court over its | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
decision to half what consumers get for selling renewable energy to the | :13:39. | :13:48. | |
National Grid. So that's the Politics Show at the | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
later time of3.10pm this Sunday. Now, imagine replacing your brick | :13:51. | :13:59. | |
walls and central heating with a sleeping bag and a cardboard box. | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
The Nottingham charity Framework deals with 8,000 homeless people | :14:02. | :14:05. | |
every year and says the number of people sleeping rough in the city | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
has almost doubled since June. Last night those figures went sky | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
high as 300 people slept out in the city to raise money for the charity. | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
Amongst them our reporter Tom Brown. First is the Big Sleep Out, an | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
annual fund-raising event for a couple give up their home comforts | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
and spend the night in a cardboard box on the streets of Nottingham. | :14:21. | :14:27. | |
And tonight, I'm going to be one of them. People care about the welfare | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
of others and third come together tonight to demonstrate that. He can | :14:31. | :14:35. | |
see people who are participating, building their shelters, joining in. | :14:35. | :14:41. | |
Words cannot describe how fantastic that feels. I am excited. Anxious | :14:41. | :14:48. | |
and excited actually. 12 hours, it's not much, is it? And it is | :14:48. | :14:53. | |
people like this that tonight's event aims to help. Andy spent two | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
weeks sleeping rough in Nottingham before being found by framework. | :14:57. | :15:02. | |
Now he has a new home and a new job but the memories of what it is like | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
to have to speak on the streets will stay with him forever. | :15:05. | :15:10. | |
worst part about it is feeling like a total at cast from society. It is | :15:10. | :15:14. | |
horrible, lonely, it gets depressing, you are having to fight | :15:14. | :15:24. | |
:15:24. | :15:31. | ||
with depression yourself and keep It is coming up to 1am and the mood | :15:31. | :15:34. | |
up to feed Big Sleep Out has changed. The bans have stopped | :15:34. | :15:39. | |
playing, even my cameraman has left me behind and people are trying to | :15:39. | :15:43. | |
get some sleep. It will be interesting. Within the | :15:43. | :15:45. | |
organisation facing serious cuts, events like this have never been | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
more important. The charity wants to make �35,000 from tonight. This | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
could pay for two new employees or provide numerous training courses | :15:53. | :15:57. | |
to help get people off the streets and into work. The sea about is not | :15:58. | :16:02. | |
just about raising money. It is also about raising awareness. -- | :16:02. | :16:07. | |
the sleep out. People have to sleep on the streets every night and it | :16:07. | :16:13. | |
is a big shock. It is cold, windy, the cardboard managed to fence it | :16:13. | :16:22. | |
off. I couldn't do it again. That was the sleep out. I've had two | :16:22. | :16:25. | |
hours' sleep and World Cup shivering in my sleeping bag. There | :16:25. | :16:28. | |
are people in Nottingham you have to do this every single night. It | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
is an awareness of that fact that tonight has all been about. Now it | :16:32. | :16:41. | |
is time for me to leave my cardboard box and get a cup of tea. | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
If you are homeless, you don't necessarily get a cup of tea. | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
Plenty more to look forward to in the programme: including a new side | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
to LS Lowry. The match-stick man painter was also a dab hand at | :16:51. | :17:01. | |
:17:01. | :17:03. | ||
portraits as well as impressive Happier homes and a better future, | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
that's what experts say parenting classes are giving to families in | :17:06. | :17:10. | |
Nottinghamshire. Early intervention by a super nanny | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
is really helping parents who're struggling to cope with their | :17:13. | :17:23. | |
:17:23. | :17:27. | ||
For year-old Harrison is letting us know he is here. Being a parent can | :17:27. | :17:31. | |
be a tough job for anyone but relationship break-ups and other | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
problems adds to the pressure. because he wants to get the praise | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
as well because he is hearing you've praising their full. Anna | :17:40. | :17:47. | |
has been labelled a super nanny. The advice is making life easier. | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
Hopefully they will calm down. Things will get better. I've | :17:50. | :17:56. | |
noticed coming here I've learnt a lot and used that at home. I am | :17:56. | :18:01. | |
finding things are getting better. We are picking families up now that | :18:01. | :18:06. | |
initially may have been on a parenting protection plan from | :18:06. | :18:12. | |
social care. Instead of... They make good progress but they still | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
need support. The sessions involve discussion, videos and tips like | :18:17. | :18:26. | |
:18:27. | :18:28. | ||
ignoring bad behaviour and tantrums when it is safe to do so. They come | :18:28. | :18:34. | |
to be and they say, can I have it? Then I ignore the problem and then | :18:34. | :18:41. | |
he will come down. The hope is that these children will grow up in | :18:41. | :18:49. | |
happier homes and have a better future as a result. | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
They look like happy bunnies, most of them. | :18:52. | :18:59. | |
Time for sport and it is a big weekend for rugby. | :18:59. | :19:04. | |
Yes, it is Heineken Cup time. The most prestigious competition in | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
European club rugby and it gets underway tonight. The Heineken Cup | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
is a tournament that has propelled rugby onto a entirely different | :19:11. | :19:17. | |
plane. So earlier Angela was with the Leicester Tigers as they jetted | :19:17. | :19:25. | |
off to Italy. A chance for the Tigers to put | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
their Premiership woes to one side for the weekend and focus instead | :19:28. | :19:32. | |
on the biggest prize in European rugby, the opposition this weekend | :19:32. | :19:36. | |
from Italy. Nobody from Leicester is taking anything for granted. | :19:36. | :19:41. | |
got nothing to lose, they will throw everything at us. They are a | :19:41. | :19:46. | |
very difficult side, they have got some good international players. | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
They have some very good foreign South Africa us. They will be a | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
tough test and if we are not accurate and committed, they will | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
cause us problems. The Tigers have had a difficult start to the | :19:57. | :20:01. | |
domestic campaign. Leicester rewrote Heineken Cup history with | :20:01. | :20:06. | |
back-to-back titles. How they would love to do that again. We have not | :20:06. | :20:10. | |
been as successful as we would have liked over the last few years. We | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
will start afresh. It is probably a little bit refreshing from what has | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
been a disappointing start to the domestic season. We know we've got | :20:18. | :20:21. | |
a good squad, a good team. Everyone's in a positive frame of | :20:21. | :20:27. | |
mind. We must do our best. Eight to one of the odds for the Tigers to | :20:27. | :20:30. | |
lift the trophy again this season. The team and they are legion of | :20:30. | :20:33. | |
travelling fans will certainly hope the campaign gets off to his flying | :20:33. | :20:41. | |
start. -- a flying start. Onto football and it must be make or | :20:41. | :20:44. | |
break this weekend for Leicester in their battle to bring back manager | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
Nigel Pearson. It is day seven of the saga and it seems Leicester can | :20:47. | :20:52. | |
just not agree compensation with Pearson's current club Hull. | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
Tonight we are even hearing a whisper that Leicester may be | :20:55. | :21:05. | |
:21:05. | :21:07. | ||
forced to look elsewhere. Meanwhile at Derby County manager | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
Nigel Clough has been fined �2,000 after he admitted an FA charge of | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
improper conduct. It was in relation to an incident during | :21:13. | :21:17. | |
Derby's match at Peterborough last weekend. | :21:17. | :21:19. | |
Well, no Championship football tomorrow because of the | :21:19. | :21:22. | |
International break but it is an important weekend for our teams in | :21:22. | :21:27. | |
the first round proper of the FA Cup. A special mention for Alfreton | :21:27. | :21:30. | |
Town who play League One opponents Carlisle and of course Hinckley | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
United who have a good record in the cup. They're at home to | :21:33. | :21:43. | |
:21:43. | :21:44. | ||
Tamworth. Notts County host Accrington Stanley. | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
Well, we started with a big match in rugby, we finish with a big | :21:47. | :21:51. | |
match in ice hockey. The biggest rivalry in the sport will play out | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
in front of what's expected to be a sell out crowd at the National Ice | :21:54. | :21:58. | |
Centre. A little earlier Colin went to get a preview. | :21:58. | :22:03. | |
It is all pretty quiet class act -- at the National Ice Centre at | :22:03. | :22:07. | |
minute. Tomorrow, the place will be packed for the Panthers against the | :22:07. | :22:12. | |
Sheffield Steelers. It is the big rivalry in the ice hockey. You know | :22:12. | :22:18. | |
what this means. It is going to be extremely lively. Sheffield and | :22:18. | :22:23. | |
Nottingham are totally intense. Am looking forward to it. Brandon, you | :22:23. | :22:27. | |
one utility in for this season but you've been around. You've been in | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
Belfast. He must have picked up stories around the league as to how | :22:30. | :22:33. | |
intense the scan been forced to definitely. I've played in the | :22:33. | :22:38. | |
league for the last couple tears. You hear about the rivalry and have | :22:38. | :22:44. | |
experienced the place now. I can imagine now how much it will | :22:44. | :22:54. | |
:22:54. | :22:58. | ||
escalate. Do you pick up divide? Definitely. You feed off the farms. | :22:58. | :23:06. | |
-- the fans. You get the feeling this is going to get the season | :23:06. | :23:13. | |
going. Definitely. It is time to get the league going and there is | :23:13. | :23:17. | |
no better time than tomorrow to do that. There are refused tickets | :23:17. | :23:23. | |
left. -- a few tickets left. It will be intense. | :23:23. | :23:33. | |
Good luck to the Panthers and for Tigers this weekend. | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
Now did you know that despite his huge success as a painter, LS Lowry | :23:36. | :23:41. | |
stuck at his job as a debt- collector all his working life? | :23:41. | :23:43. | |
And although he'll always be associated with his match-stick men | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
and industrial scenes, a new exhibition in Nottingham aims to | :23:46. | :23:56. | |
:23:56. | :24:02. | ||
From the Lancashire mills to the stylised images of workers, many of | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
the paintings in this new exhibition depict the industrial | :24:05. | :24:11. | |
world that became his hallmark. As the team at the Arts Centre and | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
pack 90 of his works of art, they are hoping to show another side to | :24:15. | :24:22. | |
the painter, one who was drawn to landscapes and striking portraits. | :24:22. | :24:27. | |
There was an incredible variety of subject matter. He is more than the | :24:27. | :24:34. | |
artist at the Lancashire mills. We are hoping people will come and go | :24:34. | :24:39. | |
away with a much broader idea of what his work is. The exhibition | :24:39. | :24:43. | |
spans the 1920s to the post-war era when his popularity rose. Despite | :24:43. | :24:49. | |
this, many critics dubbed him an amateur. An image which Neil is | :24:49. | :24:53. | |
hoping to is a spell. While some of these works have been loaned by | :24:53. | :24:56. | |
galleries like the Tate, many have come from private collections which | :24:56. | :25:01. | |
means they will not have been seen by the public for years. It is like | :25:01. | :25:04. | |
Christmas. It always is, it is very exciting when you've just been | :25:04. | :25:09. | |
working with things. Some of these pictures I will have seen in it the | :25:10. | :25:12. | |
usual homes but a lot I have not seen before. The excitement of | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
taking things out of their crates and out of their wrapping and | :25:16. | :25:19. | |
seeing them for the first time is incredible force of the exhibition | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
will open to the public next Wednesday and the gallery hopes it | :25:23. | :25:26. | |
will please enthusiasts and shared a new light on this well known | :25:26. | :25:33. | |
artist. And beautiful, aren't they? I had | :25:33. | :25:41. | |
no idea they were so huge. Lots of bark at -- around at the | :25:41. | :25:51. | |
moment, Leonardo da Vinci at the I think we will get to see a little | :25:51. | :25:54. | |
bit of sunshine as well and hopefully it will feel milder | :25:54. | :25:58. | |
because it did feel quite raw today with all the cloud. This picture | :25:58. | :26:02. | |
really does depict the weather today. At Rutland Water, you can | :26:02. | :26:08. | |
hardly see the water. Please keep your pictures coming in depicting | :26:08. | :26:12. | |
the weather. It is always great to see them. We've got a lot of cloud | :26:12. | :26:15. | |
with us at the moment. It was drizzling this afternoon as I drove | :26:15. | :26:19. | |
into work. The card will increase further because we've got a band of | :26:19. | :26:23. | |
rain working its way in from the West. That will cross us overnight, | :26:23. | :26:29. | |
becoming heavy and persistent for a time. Leaving us with a lot of | :26:29. | :26:32. | |
cloud tonight and a few showers following on behind as well. A | :26:32. | :26:36. | |
minimum temperature of nine Celsius. Saturday morning is going to start | :26:36. | :26:40. | |
off quite cloudy. We will still see a few showers for the early morning | :26:40. | :26:44. | |
on Saturday. Gradually into the afternoon, the skies to start to | :26:44. | :26:47. | |
brighten again. Daytime temperatures tomorrow just a very | :26:47. | :26:53. | |
gentle breeze, should reach 15 Celsius. Feeling better but we do | :26:53. | :26:56. | |
cloud over through the evening on Saturday. There is a warm friend | :26:56. | :27:00. | |
working its way northwards overnight. That will produce some | :27:00. | :27:03. | |
drizzle and also quite a bit of clout on Sunday morning. If you are | :27:03. | :27:06. | |
going to a service on Remembrance Sunday, the cloud will take its | :27:07. | :27:12. | |
time to clear forced to pick it clear that all on Sunday. We hope | :27:12. | :27:18. | |
to see an improvement into the afternoon. It will become windy you. | :27:18. | :27:22. | |
-- windy. On Monday, there is high pressure to the east and low | :27:22. | :27:26. | |
pressure to the West. The cloud will continue to increase again, | :27:26. | :27:31. |
