:00:48. > :00:49.- because Londoners are known the world over for stoically

:00:50. > :01:05.Just look behind me. It doesn't look like anybody is worried about any

:02:14. > :02:19.seems like a great atmosphere there. Absolutely. Arrests are down on last

:02:20. > :02:23.year. The only Carnival bigger than Notting Hill is in Rio. It's

:02:24. > :02:32.actually hotter in London today than in Rio, and that is why we have seen

:02:33. > :02:36.all corners come to Carnival today to celebrate. Police put the lower

:02:37. > :02:39.crime figures down today to what they are calling the grandson of

:02:40. > :02:51.fact. That has seen minutes of silence silences held here, to

:02:52. > :02:55.remember the people who were killed in Grenfell Tower. Most people are

:02:56. > :02:59.focused on having a good time at Carnival this year. It of course,

:04:09. > :04:13.daughter, sister, cousin and friend. A tribute to Amy Vigus posted on

:04:14. > :04:18.social media by her family. It describes her as adventurous and

:04:19. > :04:23.caring, but as well as a tribute, the video acts as a warning. Our Amy

:04:24. > :04:29.made a mistake. In a moment of madness she took a substance she was

:04:30. > :04:37.led to believe was the party drug MDMA. Since the video was made

:04:38. > :04:41.public, millions have been moved by the tragedy. Amy made it home to

:04:42. > :04:46.Colchester after the music festival in London but collapsed. She was

:04:47. > :04:50.taken to Colchester General Hospital but doctors couldn't save her. The

:04:51. > :04:57.corridors of Colchester General Hospital echoed with the cries and

:04:58. > :05:06.screams of her family Members. Amy made a mistake. The video concludes

:05:07. > :05:12.with this plea to others tempted to take drugs. If you are in that

:05:13. > :05:17.situation, please remember our Amy and the consequences of her mistake

:05:18. > :05:23.on herself and her family she has left behind. Amy's family are now

:05:24. > :05:26.raising money for Colchester Hospital, their powerful video a

:05:27. > :05:29.condemnation of the dangers of drugs. Our Amy.

:05:37. > :05:39.special donation clinics where people can bring their dogs

:05:40. > :05:42.along - provided they meet a special criteria.

:05:43. > :05:45.Hundreds of dogs needed a transfusion last year -

:05:46. > :05:53.As in human medicine, there is a need, a growing need,

:05:54. > :06:00.for blood for veterinary patients as veterinary medicine progresses.

:06:01. > :06:08.So having that service there available is brilliant.
