Ireland. And that is finish one ahead of Shane Lowry of

:00:00.:00:16.

Hello, I'm Alex Dunlop. A huge fire has torn through part of

:00:17.:00:22.

a historic town centre in Norfolk. People had to be evacuated from the

:00:23.:00:25.

middle of Fakenham and buildings collapsed as the flames swept

:00:26.:00:28.

through a parade of shops. The cost of the damage is expected to run

:00:29.:00:36.

into millions of pounds. It looked more like a war zone than

:00:37.:00:39.

a Sunday morning in a quiet market town. People living in flats above

:00:40.:00:43.

the shops had to be led to safety and given first aid as fire quickly

:00:44.:00:46.

engulfed the block of properties. Morning service in the neighbouring

:00:47.:00:49.

church was abandoned a smoke filled the building. It was just as I came

:00:50.:00:52.

down from the church door to the front of the building, there were

:00:53.:00:55.

just horrendous, huge flames, and I've never seen anything like it in

:00:56.:00:59.

my life. It was frightening. It was very frightening. One disabled

:01:00.:01:02.

couple were not able to move their car in time. It was destroyed. The

:01:03.:01:10.

whole area was sealed off as sections of building started to

:01:11.:01:14.

collapse. At the centre of the fire was the former Aldiss department

:01:15.:01:17.

store, which, like the rest of the buildings, was gutted. Elderly

:01:18.:01:20.

residents in sheltered accommodation were also moved to safety.

:01:21.:01:24.

As a precaution we evacuated a significant number of premises, but

:01:25.:01:27.

in doing so we also committed breathing apparatus crews into those

:01:28.:01:29.

buildings with a water supply so that if the fire did break through,

:01:30.:01:33.

we would have been able to stop it, and it looks as though those tactics

:01:34.:01:39.

have paid off. It took around 100 firefighters to

:01:40.:01:42.

control the blaze. There were no serious injuries, but it has left

:01:43.:01:47.

homes and businesses in ruins. Another prisoner with a record of

:01:48.:01:51.

violence is on the run from a jail in Suffolk. Paul Oddysses is serving

:01:52.:01:56.

a life sentence for armed robbery. Police say the 49`year`old who has

:01:57.:01:59.

tattoos on his arms and the back of his head shouldn't be approached. He

:02:00.:02:04.

got out of Hollesley Bay prison near Woodbridge yesterday lunchtime. He

:02:05.:02:08.

has connections in Essex and Hertfordshire.

:02:09.:02:12.

Police think they know the identities of an elderly couple

:02:13.:02:15.

who've both been found dead at a house in Essex. The bodies of Harold

:02:16.:02:20.

Ambrose and his wife Wendy were discovered at Boxted near Colchester

:02:21.:02:23.

early yesterday. The road which passes their cottage was sealed off

:02:24.:02:28.

as police examined the scene. The deaths are being treated as

:02:29.:02:31.

unexplained. In a few hours we'll know which

:02:32.:02:34.

parties will be representing the region in the European parliament.

:02:35.:02:37.

The seven candidates who've won the title of MEP for the East of England

:02:38.:02:41.

will be announced at the Riverside Leisure Centre in Chelmsford. The

:02:42.:02:45.

votes will be allocated by proportional representation.

:02:46.:02:50.

Sometime after 10pm, assuming everything's gone smoothly, I will

:02:51.:02:52.

be speaking to candidates and agents and saying, these are the

:02:53.:02:55.

provisional figures, are you content with the process? You have seen what

:02:56.:02:59.

has happened in the town centre, you have seen what has happened around

:03:00.:03:03.

the region. And all being well, soon after that I'll be able to make the

:03:04.:03:07.

announcements. And there'll be live coverage of the

:03:08.:03:10.

poll declarations here on One from 11 tonight. And we'll have more on

:03:11.:03:14.

Look East tomorrow in specially extended bulletins from breakfast

:03:15.:03:17.

onwards. Prince William could join the

:03:18.:03:21.

region's air ambulance service. The Duke of Cambridge has been

:03:22.:03:23.

considering his future since giving up his role as an RAF search and

:03:24.:03:28.

rescue pilot last year. Now the Sunday Times reports he's

:03:29.:03:31.

considering being a part time pilot with the East Anglian Air Ambulance

:03:32.:03:34.

as the royal couple have a home in Norfolk. The air ambulance told us

:03:35.:03:41.

nothing has been confirmed. Thousands of people turned out today

:03:42.:03:45.

to enjoy the Luton Carnival. It's been ten months in the planning.

:03:46.:03:49.

Organisers say this year's parade was bigger than ever.

:03:50.:04:00.

It is spectacular brash and bright. From gold to drummers from Ghana, it

:04:01.:04:07.

can only be the Luton Carnival, and for the 1000 performers, intricate

:04:08.:04:14.

costumes are a labour of love. The costumes take a matter of

:04:15.:04:18.

months. Is a lot of work, a lot of detailed. Lots of patience, but it

:04:19.:04:24.

is worth it in the end. This year there is a new organiser,

:04:25.:04:30.

the UK Centre for Carnival arts. It says its priority is on encouraging

:04:31.:04:36.

more local groups to take part. We have invested in the art, because

:04:37.:04:40.

that is what we are about. So you're seeing things that are more

:04:41.:04:45.

ambitious than ever. We have 30 different bands in there

:04:46.:04:47.

representing cultures from all over the world.

:04:48.:04:53.

It's brilliant! Organisers estimate around 30,000

:04:54.:04:55.

people came to the Carnival, and in the summer sun, it was a spectacle

:04:56.:05:09.

few will forget. Now the weather: I hope even making the most of any

:05:10.:05:12.

sunshine. We have a fine and mostly dry

:05:13.:05:16.

evening to come, but things go downhill after midnight. We have

:05:17.:05:19.

cloud building and showery rain pushing up from the South.

:05:20.:05:23.

Temperatures down to about nine or 10 Celsius. It will be cooler in

:05:24.:05:31.

more rural parts. A very different picture for tomorrow. Cloudy start

:05:32.:05:38.

to the day, showers from the start, come the afternoon they become

:05:39.:05:41.

rather heavy and quite thundery, but in between we should have some

:05:42.:05:45.

pleasant sunshine. In the sunshine, temperatures could get as high as

:05:46.:05:50.

the low 20s, but under the cloud a few degrees less than that. From

:05:51.:05:55.

Tuesday onwards, a wet week ahead and there is a warning in place for

:05:56.:05:56.

Tuesday onwards, a wet week ahead and there is a warning in Tuesday.

:05:57.:05:58.

That's it for now. We're back at the later time of 10:50pm, when we'll be

:05:59.:06:00.

live at the Good evening. Some of us had a

:06:01.:06:15.

pretty good soaking. It downpours around with thunder and lightning.

:06:16.:06:21.

It wasn't so bad everywhere. The satellite picture across the

:06:22.:06:23.

Midlands, East Anglia and the south coast, the Isle of Wight. A

:06:24.:06:29.

beautiful end to the day. You can see further west and north and that

:06:30.:06:33.

is where the storm clouds will remain. Most of England through the

:06:34.:06:35.

cause of the night
