and I'll be back with the late news at five past ten.

:00:00.:00:00.

Now on BBC One, it's time for the news where you are.

:00:00.:00:07.

This year's Notting Hill Carnival has opened with tributes

:00:08.:00:21.

to the victims of the Grenfell Tower fire.

:00:22.:00:23.

London's Mayor, Sadiq Khan, urged the crowds to keep their thoughts

:00:24.:00:26.

and prayers with those who lost their lives.

:00:27.:00:29.

He also met with survivors and faith leaders.

:00:30.:00:31.

The sun was out and so were the Carnival kings and

:00:32.:00:41.

Family day at Notting Hill drew the crowds.

:00:42.:00:45.

Great fun, first time we've ever been and I love it.

:00:46.:00:48.

Amazing, it's the best part of the year.

:00:49.:00:49.

Everyone just getting together, a party, it's nice.

:00:50.:00:57.

But in the distance, a tragic reminder of the

:00:58.:01:00.

suffering this community has so recently felt.

:01:01.:01:05.

Earlier in the day, a flock of doves were released in

:01:06.:01:08.

remembrance of those who lost their lives

:01:09.:01:10.

The Mayor Sadiq Khan joy and religious leaders

:01:11.:01:14.

We've had horrific events ten weeks ago at Grenfell Tower.

:01:15.:01:20.

This is a community still grieving, sad and sorrowful but it's important

:01:21.:01:31.

to recognise that many families of the victims of the community work

:01:32.:01:34.

We honour the victims, we will redouble our

:01:35.:01:37.

We want a safe and successful Carnival.

:01:38.:01:40.

Carnival organisers have encouraged people coming here today

:01:41.:01:42.

to wear or accessorize in green for Grenfell as a mark of respect

:01:43.:01:45.

Many survivors of the fire came along today.

:01:46.:01:48.

It's lovely that so many of them came.

:01:49.:01:50.

A lot of them have not been to the Carnival

:01:51.:01:52.

before and they got a ringside seat and they are having a lovely time.

:01:53.:01:56.

The police presence was the heaviest it has

:01:57.:01:58.

been because of fears of a

:01:59.:02:00.

A protective ring of steel was placed

:02:01.:02:05.

But it didn't seem to dampen spirits.

:02:06.:02:11.

It was really fun and exciting, everyone having a good time.

:02:12.:02:14.

It is really amazing, I did not think it was child friendly but it

:02:15.:02:24.

This part of west London is still in mourning for

:02:25.:02:33.

those who died in the fire ten weeks ago but today's

:02:34.:02:36.

community spirit here and a determination to honour those

:02:37.:02:39.

Essex County Council says more than a thousand calls have been made

:02:40.:02:43.

to a hotline set up for school staff who didn't get paid.

:02:44.:02:46.

Because of an error, 20,000 teachers and support staff,

:02:47.:02:48.

who should have received their monthly salary on Friday,

:02:49.:02:50.

The council's now carrying out a "full audit"

:02:51.:02:53.

It says it's made 100 emergency payments to staff

:02:54.:02:57.

The money will be going in on Tuesday morning.

:02:58.:03:06.

It's expected to be at the same time obviously as

:03:07.:03:09.

some people's mortgage and their general direct debits, standing

:03:10.:03:11.

orders will come out, so for many people, this

:03:12.:03:13.

Rail passengers travelling this bank holiday weekend have been coping

:03:14.:03:17.

with major disruption at six main stations in and out of London.

:03:18.:03:20.

Network Rail is carrying out its biggest ever

:03:21.:03:22.

engineering project, involving 17,000 staff.

:03:23.:03:26.

It means services are terminating in the Home Counties,

:03:27.:03:29.

as tracks are prepared for HS2 and Crossrail.

:03:30.:03:31.

Described as one of the biggest rail shutdowns on an August

:03:32.:03:39.

bank holiday weekend, operators want passengers not

:03:40.:03:44.

to use trains, and it looks like many listened.

:03:45.:03:46.

Despite major engineering works significantly affecting services

:03:47.:03:49.

at stations including London Bridge and Waterloo, and the closure

:03:50.:03:54.

of Euston, though busy, stations like Marylebone

:03:55.:03:57.

and King's Cross appeared to be coping with the extra people

:03:58.:04:00.

Meanwhile in Ingatestone in Essex, where Greater Anglia trains

:04:01.:04:07.

to Liverpool Street stop and start, full use was made of

:04:08.:04:10.

With some work expected to end at stations like here

:04:11.:04:17.

at London Bridge by Tuesday morning's commute, there is a worry

:04:18.:04:20.

We have a very detailed contingency plan to manage all of that.

:04:21.:04:28.

We would know well in advance of that happening and we would know

:04:29.:04:31.

that our customers are well what is happening so that people

:04:32.:04:34.

can make alternative travel arrangements.

:04:35.:04:35.

But I will stress that our contingency plans are very detailed.

:04:36.:04:42.

Now the hope is that passengers would face major delays

:04:43.:04:44.

on their return home and return to work after the long weekend.

:04:45.:04:52.

-- Now the hope is that passengers won't face major delays

:04:53.:04:59.

Thousands have turned out for the wings and wheels display showed. We

:05:00.:05:12.

have the Red Arrows, Apache helicopters, the second part of the

:05:13.:05:16.

motoring display with a collection of prewar and modern supercars,

:05:17.:05:20.

which is very exciting. That Texas to the weather with Lucy Martin. --

:05:21.:05:24.

that takes us to the weather. A taste of summer this

:05:25.:05:28.

bank holiday weekend, and it looks set to continue into

:05:29.:05:31.

tomorrow, and it will be a touch This evening, late

:05:32.:05:35.

spells of sunshine. Dry overnight with clear spells,

:05:36.:05:37.

and one or two patches of Tomorrow, plenty of

:05:38.:05:40.

sunshine from the word go. Some fair-weather cloud

:05:41.:05:43.

could appear at points. We also have high UV,

:05:44.:05:45.

so take care in the It will become fresher

through the week. From all of us here,

:05:50.:05:52.

have a lovely bank holiday weekend. Hello. There have been two faces of

:05:53.:06:15.

the weather today. For many, plenty of wanton sunshine and a fine

:06:16.:06:18.

afternoon in Oxfordshire today. Something different further north

:06:19.:06:23.

and west, much more cloud, not just across Scotland but also Northern

:06:24.:06:25.

Ireland, north-west England and parts of Wales. Those who have had

:06:26.:06:31.

sunshine today will have the clearest skies overnight. A

:06:32.:06:34.

strengthening breeze in Northern Ireland and Scotland, outbreaks of

:06:35.:06:37.

rain pushing across as the night wears on. Temperatures overnight

:06:38.:06:43.

13-16dC. It is a bank holiday for many tomorrow, but for some of us,

:06:44.:06:48.

it would be fairly unsettled, particularly across Northern Ireland

:06:49.:06:51.

and Scotland, this squeeze in the ice bars indicating a strengthening

:06:52.:06:55.

wind, and there will be rain pushing to the east through the day, some of

:06:56.:07:00.

that heavy. For eastern parts of Wales and much of England, it's
