0:00:00 > 0:00:10the north it will feel more chilly by the end of the week.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Coming up on BBC London News.
0:00:12 > 0:00:15How modern day slavery is on the rise here in the capital.
0:00:15 > 0:00:19A leading charity says London is a hub for slavery in this country.
0:00:19 > 0:00:25I think it is absolutely a blot on our country, the nation and the
0:00:25 > 0:00:35world that in 2017 slavery still exists, probably just down the road.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38We speak to a woman who was beaten daily whilst in domestic servitude.
0:00:38 > 0:00:39Also tonight...
0:00:39 > 0:00:41The four-year-old now safe, but who went missing
0:00:41 > 0:00:42from his breakfast club.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45The school says it is shocked and is investigating.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Support for the HS2 protest camp from the Green Party co-leader,
0:00:47 > 0:00:49as activists camp along the proposed route.
0:00:49 > 0:00:55Plus...
0:00:55 > 0:00:59She's been my best friend all these years and I just love everything
0:00:59 > 0:01:00about her.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03On the royal wedding anniversary,
0:01:03 > 0:01:05we're at the Queen's honeymoon hotel, in Luton.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09This time with Ted and Doris, who married the exact same year.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17A very warm welcome to the programme.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20We start tonight with the shocking figures that show the scale of those
0:01:20 > 0:01:24forced into modern day slavery here in London.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26What's more, the numbers are rising year on year.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29The charity that compiled the report says it's the first time there's
0:01:29 > 0:01:34been a detailed account of people enslaved in the capital -
0:01:34 > 0:01:44and they reveal the boroughs where the problem is at its worst.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49We also hear from one woman who was beaten daily.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Our political correspondent Karl Mercer has the story.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56It is a very real issue for the government and for all of us.And it
0:01:56 > 0:02:03is a very real issue for Mama, who was brought to London for she
0:02:03 > 0:02:10thought was a cook's job but she ended up a modern-day slave.I come
0:02:10 > 0:02:17from Morocco...Now being helped by a specialist charity, she endured
0:02:17 > 0:02:20months of beatings and about treatment and was made to work
0:02:20 > 0:02:23extremely long hours.
0:02:35 > 0:02:42She is far from an isolated case. Last year the charity Hestia helped
0:02:42 > 0:02:47more than 600 victims, that is a 30% increase on the previous year. And
0:02:47 > 0:02:56already this year they have seen 822 people. Worst three boroughs were...
0:02:56 > 0:03:01It was very moving, especially the account from Mama, the victim of
0:03:01 > 0:03:05human traffic in. It is important that we always remember that behind
0:03:05 > 0:03:10the statistics are people. This is a very important report and it has
0:03:10 > 0:03:14shone a light on what's happening in London, two men and women in London
0:03:14 > 0:03:21who have been trafficked.Raids like these ones launched last month in
0:03:21 > 0:03:24London and across the country to help, but dealing with the victims
0:03:24 > 0:03:29can be tough. One young Albanian woman who had been trafficked to the
0:03:29 > 0:03:33capital for use as a sex worker was taken in by the charity at one of
0:03:33 > 0:03:36their safe houses.When she first arrived here she actually thought
0:03:36 > 0:03:41that she had come into a brothel. And when I thought about it, I
0:03:41 > 0:03:44thought, oh, my goodness, it was five other women in that house and
0:03:44 > 0:03:56there was a mad if and I was the madam. And that was her thought.
0:03:56 > 0:04:01City Hall has now set up a team to look at modern slavery which
0:04:01 > 0:04:05charities, councils and the police. It wants to stop the trade in the
0:04:05 > 0:04:08first place but also to help rescue those being used as modern-day
0:04:08 > 0:04:10slaves in the capital.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Karl's here now.
0:04:12 > 0:04:17This report does highlight the stark difference between slavery
0:04:17 > 0:04:23here in London and the rest of the country?
0:04:23 > 0:04:28Yeah, the charity has broken it down into forced labour and sex work and
0:04:28 > 0:04:31one other category. We see a different profile in other parts of
0:04:31 > 0:04:36the country, with many more men being trafficked and put into forced
0:04:36 > 0:04:40labour, working illegally very often in bad conditions. In London 80% of
0:04:40 > 0:04:43those being trafficked are women and most of those are going into the sex
0:04:43 > 0:04:48industry. What they also looked at was where people are coming from.
0:04:48 > 0:04:54And more than a third, 35% of those being trafficked to London, were
0:04:54 > 0:05:00from Albania, 17% from Nigeria, so just two countries ticking up more
0:05:00 > 0:05:04than half of the instances of modern slavery here in the capital. But
0:05:04 > 0:05:07also interesting to look at why there has been a rise in the
0:05:07 > 0:05:12figures. Is it because more people are comfortable with coming forward
0:05:12 > 0:05:15and saying they have been trafficked, and more people are
0:05:15 > 0:05:20looking at it as an issue? Or is it simply that more people are being
0:05:20 > 0:05:23trafficked here to the UK? And to be honest I think that is something
0:05:23 > 0:05:28nobody is sure about.
0:05:28 > 0:05:35Coming up later in the programme.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39I'm never going to be a millionaire. But I've got a millionaire in my
0:05:39 > 0:05:40heart.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43We meet this year's unsung sporting hero, who has helped raise millions
0:05:43 > 0:05:49to improve his local football club.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52The father of a four-year-old boy who went missing
0:05:52 > 0:05:55from his school's breakfast club in Redhill has spoken
0:05:55 > 0:05:57of his disbelief that his son was then found wandering along
0:05:57 > 0:05:58the road alone and lost.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01The school says it is shocked that this could have
0:06:01 > 0:06:03happened and has now put in extra safeguarding measures.
0:06:03 > 0:06:10Victoria Hollins has been speaking to the family.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14Kevin is four. He hasn't been going to school for very long. But last
0:06:14 > 0:06:19Friday morning he managed to walk out of first field primary in
0:06:19 > 0:06:25Redhill all by himself. His dad Philip says Kevin was dropped off at
0:06:25 > 0:06:29the schools breakfast club at 7.45. An hour later, somewhere between the
0:06:29 > 0:06:34club and his classroom, Kevin left the school grounds of. He was
0:06:34 > 0:06:37brought home by two strangers who had found him walking the streets.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40When he got into the house he was screaming, you didn't want to leave
0:06:40 > 0:06:44the house.He was absolutely petrified. Nothing would calm him
0:06:44 > 0:06:51down, not his toys, suites, cuddles, nothing. I've never seen him like
0:06:51 > 0:06:55that.Philip says he still doesn't know how Kevin got out of. He says
0:06:55 > 0:07:00the four-year-old was walking around alone for 20 minutes. First field
0:07:00 > 0:07:04primary says it was a matter of minutes and it was grateful for the
0:07:04 > 0:07:08stranger's help.Words cannot explain how grateful I am that they
0:07:08 > 0:07:15found him safe and well. It is a disgrace that they can let something
0:07:15 > 0:07:19like this happen to a child of four. There's not many children go to
0:07:19 > 0:07:25breakfast club, so is not hard to keep track.The family said a
0:07:25 > 0:07:28process by which children should be marketed in and out of the club is
0:07:28 > 0:07:32not safe enough and they want a change in procedures. Furzefield
0:07:32 > 0:07:35says it is shocked and devastated by what has happened. The school says
0:07:35 > 0:07:39it is carrying out a thorough investigation into what happened
0:07:39 > 0:07:43last Friday. But it says it has already taken steps to tighten what
0:07:43 > 0:07:47it has described as it's already robust safeguarding systems.I know
0:07:47 > 0:07:50they had people at the gates this morning making sure it was locked.
0:07:50 > 0:07:55That's what I heard this morning.Is that different from normal?The
0:07:55 > 0:07:59caretaker has always closed it at nine o'clock, so that is a concern.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03Today my daughter was in the after-school club, which is in the
0:08:03 > 0:08:06same location as the breakfast club. And there was never a case of anyone
0:08:06 > 0:08:10getting out at all. It was always the case that she was in a very safe
0:08:10 > 0:08:13environment.Kevin was back in breakfast club and in class today,
0:08:13 > 0:08:17although his dad says they're looking at different clubs for the
0:08:17 > 0:08:23future. He still wants an expert nation from the school. -- an
0:08:23 > 0:08:25explanation.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29Police want to trace the driver of a van after it hit an elderly man
0:08:29 > 0:08:32who was crossing the road at a busy junction in Stamford Hill
0:08:32 > 0:08:33on Saturday morning.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35The vehicle initially stops and reverses back to the spot
0:08:35 > 0:08:38where it collided with the man, before making a U-turn
0:08:38 > 0:08:39and speeding off.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41The victim was knocked unconscious and left with head injuries.
0:08:41 > 0:08:431,000 employees of two European agencies currently headquartered
0:08:43 > 0:08:47in Canary Wharf have today found out where their jobs will be moved to.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Ministers from 27 EU member states have been voting on which two cities
0:08:50 > 0:08:54will be chosen to host the European Medicines Agency
0:08:54 > 0:08:57and the European Banking Authority.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00The organisations can't be based in London after we've left the EU.
0:09:00 > 0:09:01What impact will it have?
0:09:01 > 0:09:11Here's our Brexit reporter Katharine Carpenter.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16This is the European Medicines Agency. Around 900 people work here.
0:09:16 > 0:09:21And over in the upper floors of that skyscraper is the European Banking
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Authority, which employs around 200 more. Ever since we voted to leave
0:09:24 > 0:09:29the European Union, we've known they have to leave London. And today, the
0:09:29 > 0:09:32workers here and their families will find out where they might be living
0:09:32 > 0:09:38next. EU cities have been competing to offer them a new home. And now,
0:09:38 > 0:09:42we know Amsterdam has won the prize of the European Medicines Agency's
0:09:42 > 0:09:49well-paid workforce. Its 36,000 visitors each year and the 30,000 or
0:09:49 > 0:09:54so hotel rooms it books.It is a sort of "halo effect", because lots
0:09:54 > 0:09:57of American and Japanese businesses set up in London precisely because
0:09:57 > 0:10:01they want their staff to be close to the regulator so that they can help
0:10:01 > 0:10:06shape its decisions and get their products under their noses. So, lots
0:10:06 > 0:10:09of companies, once the regulator moves, they will be thinking about
0:10:09 > 0:10:14moving their staff.The idea is that any worker in the world can use
0:10:14 > 0:10:19this...It is a dilemma facing this small business in Waterloo. It has
0:10:19 > 0:10:22developed a secure messaging service for health workers. Having the
0:10:22 > 0:10:24European Medicines Agency close eye has been important for growth.
0:10:24 > 0:10:30There's a lot of complex rain and hoops you've got to jump through. If
0:10:30 > 0:10:34we are losing all of the people who know about these regulations, it is
0:10:34 > 0:10:37a disaster for us.Is it enough of a disaster that you would consider
0:10:37 > 0:10:41moving to where the European Medicines Agency moves?Yeah, we
0:10:41 > 0:10:45would probably keep a London office but I could easily see as creating
0:10:45 > 0:10:48an office to be moving with them and stay close to the regulators.There
0:10:48 > 0:10:52are hopes that the UK might be able to come up with a more streamlined
0:10:52 > 0:10:58approach to rain. Others say London's pulling power is a place to
0:10:58 > 0:11:03work is still stronger than its rivals.London remains a global city
0:11:03 > 0:11:07with a fantastic opportunity, money to invest in life sciences. I think
0:11:07 > 0:11:10we can still continue to attract talented scientists with our great
0:11:10 > 0:11:15institutes of. It's just made it a little bit harder, losing the
0:11:15 > 0:11:21agencies.Of course, Canary Wharf is made up of so much more than these
0:11:21 > 0:11:24two European agencies said losing them will have an impact here. And
0:11:24 > 0:11:30that loss may be felt more widely across the capital, too.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32We're all familiar with the Tube map - but this shows
0:11:32 > 0:11:34the weekend all-night services.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37There are already five lines - and now, a new line is to be added.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40From Friday 15th December, Londoners will be able to travel
0:11:40 > 0:11:45on this strip of the Overground - that's from New Cross Gate
0:11:45 > 0:11:50in the south up to Dalston Junction in Hackney.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53Let's join Marc Ashdown in New Cross, who has got more details.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57Marc...
0:11:57 > 0:12:02Yeah, this is the very southern and of the east London line which runs
0:12:02 > 0:12:10from New Cross Gate for seven miles up to Dalston Junction. It is
0:12:10 > 0:12:15affectionately known as the ginger line, and in about a month's time it
0:12:15 > 0:12:18will be running 24/7 on Friday and Saturday nights. The idea is to
0:12:18 > 0:12:23build on the success of the night Tube across the rest of the network.
0:12:23 > 0:12:28It was launched back in August last year and it currently runs five
0:12:28 > 0:12:33lines in the centre of town, and it is thought to support 2000 jobs and
0:12:33 > 0:12:37it is estimated that in one year alone it has boosted the night-time
0:12:37 > 0:12:41economy by about £170 billion. Transport for London hopes that they
0:12:41 > 0:12:46could be a similar kick-start to the night economy up and down this line
0:12:46 > 0:12:50as well.We think this will benefit two parts of London's population.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54First of all, those involved in the night-time economy, like
0:12:54 > 0:12:58entertainment, if you want to get to and from work. And particularly
0:12:58 > 0:13:02those people who work early shifts, perhaps an early on Saturday or
0:13:02 > 0:13:10Sunday or late in the evening.But there have been issues with the
0:13:10 > 0:13:18night Tube?Yeah, it is fair to say it has not been plain sailing. There
0:13:18 > 0:13:21have been arguments between TfL and the unions in the run-up to its
0:13:21 > 0:13:28eventual launch. Then, this April, narrowly a strike was averted over
0:13:28 > 0:13:32jobs and safety of the drivers. And there have been rumblings about
0:13:32 > 0:13:36possibly strike action over this festive period, although that seems
0:13:36 > 0:13:41to have gone quiet. I think it is fair to say that Londoners have
0:13:41 > 0:13:44welcome and the night Tube. And businesses up and down this line are
0:13:44 > 0:13:48queueing up to say that this will put them on the night-time map. If
0:13:48 > 0:13:52you are planning to use it, a couple of things. It will be starting on
0:13:52 > 0:13:59the 15th of December. You will be charged off-peak fares to use it. If
0:13:59 > 0:14:03you're getting a travel card, that will run from the day before
0:14:03 > 0:14:06overnight until half past four the following morning. There will be no
0:14:06 > 0:14:11services at Whitechapel and eventually, this will run all the
0:14:11 > 0:14:18way up to Highbury and Islington next year.
0:14:18 > 0:14:25Now still to come before seven...
0:14:25 > 0:14:28I will be reporting live from Luton who, where the Queen and Prince
0:14:28 > 0:14:33Philip spent part of their honeymoon 70 years ago. And coming up in the
0:14:33 > 0:14:38weather, we're alternating between sunny and cloudy and damp days. Join
0:14:38 > 0:14:44me for the forecast.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47The Green Party co-leader says he's fully supportive of protestors
0:14:47 > 0:14:51who've set up in the path of the proposed HS2 rail line.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54Jonathan Bartley visited their makeshift camp
0:14:54 > 0:14:56in Harefield, west London today.
0:14:56 > 0:14:57In recent weeks, demonstrators have chained themselves
0:14:57 > 0:14:59to diggers in protest.
0:14:59 > 0:15:00in Harefield, west London today.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03In recent weeks, demonstrators have chained themselves
0:15:03 > 0:15:06The company behind the project has vowed to protect endangered wildlife
0:15:06 > 0:15:09but says it did have the legal powers to cut down
0:15:09 > 0:15:10hundreds of trees.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Our Political Editor, Tim Donovan reports.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15On a muddy verge directly on the route of the proposed train
0:15:15 > 0:15:17line, a small camp has been set up.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19It could be here some time.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22We are all here, investing time and energy for the purpose
0:15:22 > 0:15:25that we are going to stop this and we're all very hopeful
0:15:25 > 0:15:27and positive that's going to happen.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29Do you think you can stop it?
0:15:29 > 0:15:31It'd be nice.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33I think we need more people if we're going to.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35More animal activists, more nature lovers, more
0:15:35 > 0:15:36wildlife lovers generally.
0:15:36 > 0:15:41If they all come along and make it a nice sort of party, you know.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Sarah has been here longest and has already made her mark.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48One night she slept beneath a digger.
0:15:48 > 0:15:49Last week she climbed up this crane.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53More fencing and more security have now been put in place.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55The high-speed rail route has the legal backing
0:15:55 > 0:16:00of an act of Parliament, but Sarah says the works have
0:16:00 > 0:16:02already breached EU law on habitats.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05About 500 trees have been cut, all different ages, including
0:16:05 > 0:16:07some very old trees, and no attempt has been
0:16:07 > 0:16:09made to protect any of the wildlife and that's clearly
0:16:09 > 0:16:13against the habitat's directive.
0:16:13 > 0:16:23It's clearly illegal.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26Our wonderful view of what we are trying to save.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Today she had a visit from the Green Party's leader
0:16:29 > 0:16:30and gave him a tour.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33This is our office.
0:16:33 > 0:16:34This tent donated by the fishing tackle shop...
0:16:35 > 0:16:38And he offered his strong support.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40When a local community has been ignored, has been sidelined,
0:16:40 > 0:16:47when the council has been bought off - so it seems - by the money
0:16:47 > 0:16:49from HS2, the only means of stopping this
0:16:49 > 0:16:51massive destruction is for local people to take direct action.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54And absolutely it's right they should do it, and absolutely
0:16:54 > 0:16:55right that we should support it.
0:16:55 > 0:17:02It may only take an hour and a quarter to get from London
0:17:02 > 0:17:05to Birmingham on the existing track now, but those who back a high speed
0:17:05 > 0:17:07rail route through this landscape say it will greatly
0:17:07 > 0:17:09increase connectivity to Leeds, Manchester and beyond,
0:17:09 > 0:17:15and bring huge economic benefits to the whole country.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Realistically, you won't claim you can stop this route, will you?
0:17:17 > 0:17:19Is it about slowing it, delaying it?
0:17:19 > 0:17:22I think we should be optimistic about what we can achieve and I'd
0:17:22 > 0:17:24like to see this project stopped, absolutely, and scrapped.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28Today a spokesman for HS2 said he understood the strong
0:17:28 > 0:17:30feelings in the area, but everything was being done
0:17:30 > 0:17:35to limit the impact on woodland, wildlife and local communities.
0:17:35 > 0:17:42Tim Donovan, BBC London news.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44West Ham supporters are being urged to stop calling 999
0:17:44 > 0:17:46to complain after their team loses.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48The Hammers suffered a 2-0 defeat by Watford on Sunday,
0:17:48 > 0:17:51leaving David Moyes' side without a Premier League win in five
0:17:51 > 0:17:55games and in the relegation zone.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57On Twitter, Essex Police's Control Room said "Ringing 999
0:17:57 > 0:18:00because West Ham have lost again and you aren't sure what to do
0:18:00 > 0:18:10is not acceptable."
0:18:10 > 0:18:18Every year BBC London honours one of the Unsung Heroes
0:18:18 > 0:18:19of the capital's sporting community.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21This year's winner has helped thousands of children and young
0:18:21 > 0:18:23people in at a sports club in west London.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26Dave Reader has raised millions of pounds to improve their facility
0:18:26 > 0:18:28in his 30 years with the club.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Sara Orchard show us what happened when we presented
0:18:30 > 0:18:32him with his award.
0:18:32 > 0:18:33Come on, lads.
0:18:33 > 0:18:34Keep it going.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37If you go back 33 years, it was divine intervention
0:18:37 > 0:18:43that brought Dave Reader and Bedfont Football Club together.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47The local vicar knocked on my door with a football kit and directions
0:18:47 > 0:18:57to tell me meet all the boys outside a local youth club at 9.30.
0:18:57 > 0:18:58"Dave, good luck."
0:18:58 > 0:19:00And disappeared into the darkness.
0:19:00 > 0:19:01God does move in mysterious ways!
0:19:01 > 0:19:04When Dave set it up, this was just an abandoned field
0:19:04 > 0:19:06with burnt-out cars on it, and now it's a football stadium,
0:19:06 > 0:19:09£2 million complex that's been built over the last 15,
0:19:09 > 0:19:1120 years, that's the heartbeat of the local community,
0:19:11 > 0:19:16it's probably the most impressive facility in Middlesex.
0:19:16 > 0:19:22Now boasting 12 pitches, 29 football teams use the facility,
0:19:22 > 0:19:26along with martial arts and boxing classes, and it's all come
0:19:26 > 0:19:29from the £2.5 million fundraising efforts of Dave.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33He's taken hundreds and hundreds of kids off the street,
0:19:33 > 0:19:39got them into sport.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43He has given them an opportunity to do something with their lives.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46He has helped me a lot because when I first started here,
0:19:46 > 0:19:49he used to come and pick me up sometimes and take me to training.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52What Dave's done for us is that he's teaching our boys
0:19:52 > 0:19:54to play football obviously, but he's also introduced myself
0:19:54 > 0:19:56and my husband to a whole new group of parents.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00There is a young daughter in one of my friend's teams who wanted
0:20:00 > 0:20:08to play football in a girls' team, now they've got 24 girls coming
0:20:08 > 0:20:09in to start a girls' team now.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12Even heart failure in 2012 didn't hold Dave back.
0:20:12 > 0:20:13You've won.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15You are the unsung hero of the year!
0:20:15 > 0:20:19And that's why he's been named the BBC London Unsung Hero 2017.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21I'm never going to be a millionaire.
0:20:21 > 0:20:31But I've got a millionaire in my heart.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41Congratulations to Dave, and talking of congratulations...
0:20:41 > 0:20:44As the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh celebrate
0:20:44 > 0:20:46their platinum wedding anniversary they aren't the only ones marking
0:20:46 > 0:20:4770 years of marriage.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49Ted and Doris Box from Chingford also married in 1947.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53They married a few days before Ted was sent abroad on military service.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55So what is the secret to seven decades of marriage?
0:20:55 > 0:21:01Here's Sarah Harris.
0:21:01 > 0:21:06Yes, we all want to know the answer to that question. Welcome to the
0:21:06 > 0:21:11Queen Elizabeth suite, where Princess Elizabeth as she was then
0:21:11 > 0:21:23spend part of her honeymoon with Prince Philip. This room is lovely
0:21:23 > 0:21:29and ornate, a fireplace, cosy winter evenings in. So sofa to sit and chat
0:21:29 > 0:21:34with your new husband, and somewhere to write thank you letters from the
0:21:34 > 0:21:38wedding. They must have loved staying here, the Queen and Prince
0:21:38 > 0:21:43Philip, because they came back here on the closest weekend to their
0:21:43 > 0:21:47anniversary for years early on in their marriage. This would have been
0:21:47 > 0:21:51a stately home owned by one of their friends but ten years ago it was
0:21:51 > 0:21:55renovated and made into a 5-star hotel. They have really gone to
0:21:55 > 0:22:02great pains to make sure the detail is here, all of the ornate details,
0:22:02 > 0:22:10just as it was when the Queen staying -- stayed here. 25 miles
0:22:10 > 0:22:16south from here in Highbury, another couple were getting married in 1947,
0:22:16 > 0:22:20Doris and Ted. It was just after the war, rationing was in, they didn't
0:22:20 > 0:22:25have much money but the neighbours gathered together and try to make it
0:22:25 > 0:22:30a special day. 70 years on they wouldn't trade places with anyone,
0:22:30 > 0:22:34not even royalty, but we did persuade them to come here and
0:22:34 > 0:22:38sample Luton Hoo for one day.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Leaving their home in Chingford for a very special day out to celebrate
0:22:41 > 0:22:43their 70 years of marriage.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Ted and Doris didn't get a honeymoon so on
0:22:45 > 0:22:55the day the Queen and Prince Philip married,
0:22:55 > 0:22:59we are taking them to Luton Hoo,
0:22:59 > 0:23:00where the royal couple had theirs.
0:23:00 > 0:23:06Ted said he wouldn't have changed his wife for anyone.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08How can you say anyone thing?
0:23:08 > 0:23:11I have loved her and she has loved me back,
0:23:11 > 0:23:14she has been my best friend all these years and that is it,
0:23:14 > 0:23:18I just love everything about her.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Elizabeth and Philip came back to Luton Hoo for many
0:23:20 > 0:23:22years to celebrate their anniversaries.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24It was a friend's stately home back then, now
0:23:24 > 0:23:25a 5-star hotel.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Meanwhile Ted and Doris met at primary school in Highbury and
0:23:27 > 0:23:30after their wedding he was posted to Palestine as part
0:23:30 > 0:23:32of his National Service.
0:23:32 > 0:23:37You missed out on your honeymoon and it's here that the Queen and
0:23:37 > 0:23:44Prince Philip had theirs, what do you think?
0:23:44 > 0:23:47It is really lovely, even just to drive upto it.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49It gives me great pleasure to present you with a
0:23:49 > 0:23:50unique one-off...
0:23:50 > 0:24:00Justin Robinson was able to give them one more
0:24:02 > 0:24:06surprise, a silver medal styled on the one given
0:24:06 > 0:24:08to the Royal couple, who they say they admire.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11I'm sure they know it all, I shouldn't think they want
0:24:11 > 0:24:13any advice from us.
0:24:13 > 0:24:18Obviously, you know, it is just enjoying one's company
0:24:18 > 0:24:20and doing things together, sharing everything and being honest
0:24:20 > 0:24:21with each other.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25They have had a much busier life, haven't they?
0:24:25 > 0:24:27I think I did hear once about Prince Philip having
0:24:27 > 0:24:30a lot of tolerance.
0:24:30 > 0:24:35I don't know! But no...
0:24:35 > 0:24:36Congratulations to them.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38And congratulations to Ted and Doris.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40In fact we couldn't live without one another, could we?
0:24:40 > 0:24:50No.
0:24:50 > 0:24:54Congratulations to Ted and Doris. I have a feeling you will know what
0:24:54 > 0:24:59the weather was like 70 years ago on the royal wedding day.I did see
0:24:59 > 0:25:03something today suggesting it was quite mild on that day and
0:25:03 > 0:25:08interestingly enough here we are now and it is my old across our part of
0:25:08 > 0:25:12the world again. There has been cloud, it has been damp at times but
0:25:12 > 0:25:16temperatures have reached into double figures. I think we will beat
0:25:16 > 0:25:31that over the next few days, we have this flow of
0:25:34 > 0:25:37my old air coming to the south-west of the UK at the moment so we are in
0:25:37 > 0:25:40that zone. We have not cloudy days followed by sunny days over the last
0:25:40 > 0:25:42three or four days, so tomorrow Sunshine? No, think again. Some rain
0:25:42 > 0:25:45and plenty of low cloud, Misty and murky conditions but we start the
0:25:45 > 0:25:47day tomorrow with double-figure temperatures across the board, but
0:25:47 > 0:25:50with plenty of cloud. I'm going to try and split the difference between
0:25:50 > 0:25:55cloudy and sunny days because we will try to bring in some brighter
0:25:55 > 0:25:59breaks tomorrow, it won't be as gloomy as it has been, and apart
0:25:59 > 0:26:06from the odd spot of rain it will be dry. Temperatures edging up. We
0:26:06 > 0:26:12might even get 16 Celsius somewhere but for the most part it is 12-14d.
0:26:12 > 0:26:17The breeze will pick up as we go through tomorrow, and again with a
0:26:17 > 0:26:21few showery bursts of rain moving through after dark and into
0:26:21 > 0:26:24Wednesday morning. On Wednesday I'm hopeful it will be brighter, we will
0:26:24 > 0:26:30see more of those sunny spells coming through, but it will be a
0:26:30 > 0:26:40blustery day. There is quite a brisk wind so it may not feel like that.
0:26:40 > 0:26:45There's no doubt we are in a mild flow of air at the moment, and as
0:26:45 > 0:26:49the week goes on we stay in that until right at the end of the week
0:26:49 > 0:26:52and into the weekend, but it looks like it will be turning colder again
0:26:52 > 0:26:58from the north.Thank you.
0:26:58 > 0:26:59Recapping the day's headlines:
0:26:59 > 0:27:01Theresa May has been meeting senior ministers to consider increasing
0:27:01 > 0:27:06the amount of money the UK will pay to leave the European Union.

0:27:08 > 0:27:10of the European Medicines Agency.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12It will leave its present headquarters in London
0:27:12 > 0:27:22when the UK leaves the EU.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26The European Banking Authority will be moving from the capital to Paris.

0:27:28 > 0:27:30to leading a minority government after coalition talks collapsed.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32Germany's main opposition party, has ruled out resuming a grand
0:27:33 > 0:27:36coalition with Angela Merkel.
0:27:36 > 0:27:37That's it.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40We'll be back later during the ten o'clock news, but for now
0:27:40 > 0:27:42from everyone on the team, have a lovely evening.
0:27:42 > 0:27:50Goodbye.
