You can't be anything but bd impressed by the way the cotnties | :00:00. | :00:23. | |
around England have turned over this. | :00:24. | :00:51. | |
And I'm in Cambridge with it all started with the Grand Depart just | :00:52. | :00:57. | |
over that we will have all the reaction from the city with cycling | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
at its very core. photographed village in England and | :01:01. | :01:19. | |
it is easy to see why. Especially earlier when it was bathed hn | :01:20. | :01:26. | |
sunlight. There were 10,000 people here watching the Tour de France, | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
through. Around 1 million pdople watched it across the region and in | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
this village and they watchdd it from all sorts of vantage point If | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
you look at the church clock there were people up on top of thd church | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
tower and they reckon that just before 25 past one today thd first | :01:44. | :01:49. | |
two raiders came through. Then we waited around for the half linutes | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
until just before 1:30pm whdn we got the main peloton coming through The | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
astonishing thing is that the embankment behind me was covered by | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
people. Everyone was enjoying a great day. One of the great things | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
about the Tour de France was that everyone got involved. The police | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
were coming through, those on motorcycles, some of them actually | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
took their hands off the handlebars as the cycle through so it has been | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
a great stay here. We will have more of the day's newsletter in the | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
programme but let's start the coverage in Cambridge. Front row, | :02:26. | :02:39. | |
splash of colour, everyone lade it. The city looking its best. We think | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
it was a once in a lifetime opportunity, but it has seeled so | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
successful they may come back! Cambridge is a great role model for | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
the other towns in Britain to see what can be achieved. The UK's | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
cycling capital, a match made in heaven with a British fuel. How did | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
it go? And should be a straightforward run. Compardd to the | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
last few days. Receiving a very famous Cambridge sendoff. They will | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
not start racing until later, then it is 12 miles within Cambrhdgeshire | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
before this whole road show moves all of the way through to Essex | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
They can hardly contain thelselves, praying position to greet the pellet | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
on. We are in the heart of the town, it is hard to believe that | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
nearly 200 raiders will squdeze in the year. It will be a good race. | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
The sun is out so this corndr is the best place in town. The crowds and | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
seemingly, it is the best sport I have ever been to. There we are the | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
chasing pack known as the pdllet on, the atmosphere is incredibld. `` | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
peloton. What a view of the action area. So | :03:58. | :04:06. | |
far, so good. All of the rahders are adding safely at the head ott of | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
town and into the heart of the Essex countryside. This is how streets | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
just north of Chelmsford, htndreds converged on the verge having a real | :04:15. | :04:21. | |
blast. Well, almost. No drop`off in peace for the pros, 19 minutes in. | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
Here, the main pack, is chilling moment. A moment of great contrast. | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
For this tiny community, thhs is a camel to is welcome. This h`s been a | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
good couple of months in thd making, when you start looking this morning | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
at four o'clock pulling your hair out to work out where an extra | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
prison with a gazebo goes that is part of the fun! For the organisers | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
it is about legacy, for the raiders that is about this link. He`ding to | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
cancel. Two hours and 12 minutes in setting off and now 50 miles into | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
the stage at the riders are streaming through the usually | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
tranquil Essex countryside. The tour 's long`awaited arrival will be at | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
Telstra and has triggered a celebration of cycling. Lots of | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
people came out, it has been great to meet people, other cyclists, talk | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
about returns the tour. There was some disappointment because Alex | :05:20. | :05:26. | |
deficit had not made the totr. He will try to get into the totr next | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
time. He needs this box tapdd. This is a bigger tour. As locals reclaim | :05:31. | :05:38. | |
the tour, it continued on its 4 miles to the finish. We havd had a | :05:39. | :05:46. | |
gloriously hot day as I say, in the skies opened about 20 minutds ago | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
but let me show you some pictures of the end of the Tour de France. It | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
went to Chelmsford and then passed the Olympic Park into London and the | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
winner was Marcel Kittel who won the first stage as well, he is having a | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
very good Tour de France. It was around three hours 30 minutds and 30 | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
seconds to do the whole course. It was raining in the mall when he got | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
there. That did not dampen our day`to`day, with the top 22 guys who | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
have done well. He is, landlord of the fox in. And Frank Tyler, a | :06:19. | :06:25. | |
restaurant. Any idea how much business you have done? It has been | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
a weeks business in a day. 400 copies for breakfast. And wd ran out | :06:30. | :06:39. | |
of taken, 400 bands in. Excdllent. And you have special deals with | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
celebratory packages and evdrything? , we had a marquee on the green | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
which is still going on, but the also had 80 people within the pub | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
who had a champagne breakfast and a four course lunch. We have sold a | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
lot of beer and wine have h`ve had a great day. A lot of beer behng | :07:00. | :07:06. | |
dumped out your! And my feet are a little sore now. I brought hn extra | :07:07. | :07:16. | |
staff, my children came in. Apart from the business, when you looked | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
out, this is a place that you do come to every day. What was your | :07:22. | :07:27. | |
reaction? I have lived in 18 years and we thought, what will it be | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
like? It was so friendly. Stch nice people. They queued all day and got | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
their drinks and said thank you and it was great. It was fantastic. It | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
made us all immensely proud of the village, it was lovely. A lovely | :07:43. | :07:49. | |
day. Thank you for coming ott this evening in the rain. I hope that | :07:50. | :08:08. | |
cries out for the celebrations. I was here at 7am this morning and the | :08:09. | :08:15. | |
crowds were already beginning to gather. By the time of the start | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
there were tens of thousands of people lining the small strdets | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
around here. It's been a terrific day and Parkers piece here hn the | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
centre of Cambridge is wherd all the partying has taken place today. | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
Things are being cleaned up now but you can see the tents behind me | :08:36. | :08:41. | |
That was the village city, encouraging more people to get on | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
their bikes. You can still smell the cooking of French food in the market | :08:47. | :08:48. | |
here. It's been a terrific day. As dawn broke over Cambridgd the | :08:49. | :09:04. | |
UK's capital of cycling was preparing to host the biggest race | :09:05. | :09:11. | |
of them all. How long have xou been here? From 6:15am. Just abott two | :09:12. | :09:19. | |
hours. And you're right on the start line, that's amazing. How excited | :09:20. | :09:27. | |
are you? Very excited. A fl`vour of France in the centre of Cambridge. A | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
party was starting on the green and everyone was invited. I just saw you | :09:33. | :09:39. | |
through the crowd with this bike. Tell me about it. I needed to answer | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
the question, can I ride a Penny Farthing. So I decided to btild one. | :09:46. | :09:56. | |
This was Regent Street, packed by about six deep in places. Others | :09:57. | :10:07. | |
found a way to avoid the crowds Flags, cameras and mobile phones | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
were at the ready. This is the moment we've all been waiting for. | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
The well's a lead cyclists whizzing past. | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
It's really exciting to be here in the middle of it | :10:20. | :10:27. | |
We were expecting crowds and a lot of people but this is absolttely | :10:28. | :10:36. | |
packed. Everyone has moved on to watch the rest of the race on the | :10:37. | :10:42. | |
big screen. What was it likd? Absolutely brilliant. Peopld | :10:43. | :10:49. | |
shouting. Motorbikes. It was really magnificent. It was a great | :10:50. | :11:02. | |
atmosphere wasn't it? This hs a birds eye view of the city. On the | :11:03. | :11:08. | |
ground there was real optimhsm that it had been great for busindss. I | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
took hundreds of pounds of additional income for the pdople. | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
People were spending their loney with a happy smile on their face. A | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
day that had been planned for months. A race that had been gone in | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
a matter of seconds. The many memories will last much longer. And | :11:27. | :11:35. | |
joined now by attorney. It's been amazing has Nick? Tremendous, a real | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
party. You seconds to get through. We waited | :11:40. | :14:06. | |

Northampton College. Just three of the projects getting funding today | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
which according to the government and local business leaders will help | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
the economy to grow. This investment allows us to deliver thousands more | :15:08. | :15:15. | |
jobs, significant numbers of homes and it will also help us to grow our | :15:16. | :15:20. | |
economy significantly. Some of the money will help | :15:21. | :15:22. | |
out of superfast broadband. There will also be extra cash for the | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
Cambridge biomedical campus, and loans for small companies which want | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
to expand. Today the Local Government Secretary was th`t one | :15:31. | :15:34. | |
search ` one such company to trumpet the amount of money going into the | :15:35. | :15:39. | |
local area. It's going to do all kinds of things with regards to | :15:40. | :15:42. | |
transport links, housing links, getting new things moving. The best | :15:43. | :15:48. | |
part of it is it's being done in partnership with local people. | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
That's an important developlent Local business groups deciddd where | :15:54. | :15:58. | |
this investment should go. When we had the old regional governlent | :15:59. | :16:04. | |
agency, Hertfordshire tended to get forgotten. What we've seen today is | :16:05. | :16:08. | |
the local enterprise partnership for Hertfordshire has done a fantastic | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
job in saying this is what the county needs. | :16:13. | :16:20. | |
A man has been arrested on suspicion of rape following an attack | :16:21. | :16:23. | |
on a woman at her home near Milton Keynes. | :16:24. | :16:25. | |
It happened on Saturday near the town of Olney. | :16:26. | :16:27. | |
One raped the woman, who's in her 50s, while the other | :16:28. | :16:30. | |

Four people, including the ride manufacturer, were found guhlty | :16:53. | :16:54. | |
Now, more than 300,000 Formtla One fans visited Silverstone yesterday | :16:55. | :17:01. | |
The race was won by the Stevenage driver Lewis Hamilton. | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
When the Formula One bandwagon comes to Silverstone, it does not travel | :17:07. | :17:15. | |
lightly ` motorhomes, movie stars and big, big crowds | :17:16. | :17:21. | |
Whilst tens of thousands come to Silverstone | :17:22. | :17:23. | |
on foot or by car, in actual fact it is the heliport behind me which | :17:24. | :17:27. | |
really demonstrates the sizd and scale of the British Grand Prix | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
In effect, it becomes the world s busiest airport when Silverstone | :17:32. | :17:34. | |
We have up 180 helicopters hn and out all day long. | :17:35. | :17:44. | |
It's about, in total, 800 movements in one day and we have | :17:45. | :17:51. | |
Silverstone's future was in doubt a few years back | :17:52. | :17:53. | |
but now the sport's boss has become its biggest supporter. | :17:54. | :17:55. | |
When I used to come here long ago it was a tip. | :17:56. | :18:02. | |
In the space of four days the control centre here monitors the | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
A 21 century nerve centre for one of the most watched sporting | :18:07. | :18:12. | |
We control everything in here, from traffic | :18:13. | :18:19. | |
between the motorways for about a 15 mile radius, we've got the highways | :18:20. | :18:22. | |
operating in here, the ambulance ` all the blue lights, basically. | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
The question on the track was whether Stdvenage's | :18:27. | :18:28. | |
Lewis Hamilton could win from as far back as sixth on the grid. | :18:29. | :18:31. | |
The race had to be restarted after an initial crash. | :18:32. | :18:33. | |
Hamilton, though, kept his cool when teammate and rival Nico Rosberg | :18:34. | :18:37. | |
It gave Hamilton the lead, which he cherished to the chequered flag | :18:38. | :18:43. | |
Coming into this weekend, but also when I started the race, | :18:44. | :18:47. | |
I really had my eyes set on getting that win for the fans. | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
I could see the fans as I w`s going through the different compldxes | :18:52. | :18:54. | |
What difference does it makd have a British winner | :18:55. | :18:57. | |
I've never been before so it's a first experience for me. | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
50th anniversary and a Brithsh winner. | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
No better way to celebrate 40 years of Formula One at Silverstone. | :19:08. | :19:16. | |
A record breaking fine for Network Rail is being used to | :19:17. | :19:19. | |
improve wi`fi services on commuter routes into London. | :19:20. | :19:22. | |
Services on the East Coast mainline and Greater | :19:23. | :19:25. | |
Network Rail is facing a ?50 million fine for poor punctuality c`used by | :19:26. | :19:40. | |
But it's time now to go back to Stewart in the village | :19:41. | :20:36. | |
Fans of the tour started arriving in the village at 4am and buying nine, | :20:37. | :20:45. | |
it was busy. A big day for local traders and for the many cycling | :20:46. | :20:50. | |
clubs who had come to watch. This club had come from Luton. Wd thought | :20:51. | :20:57. | |
this was a night spot ` nicd spot because they sell bacon rolls. We go | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
out on a Saturday and we ard known as the bacon roll is becausd there | :21:03. | :21:05. | |
must be a bacon roll involvdd somewhere before we go home. There | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
was Morris dancing, kids wrhting on the road and vans selling Tour de | :21:11. | :21:18. | |
France merchandise. From thd air, flinching field looked a picture. | :21:19. | :21:24. | |
Steve and Eve Graham own a house at the top of the village and had one | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
of the best seats in the hotse. You are on the beer. Of course! It's | :21:29. | :21:37. | |
only 11am. That's late for ts. Look at this, it's superb. It cale | :21:38. | :21:41. | |
through flinching field just after 1pm. After a long wait, herd comes | :21:42. | :21:54. | |
the pellet on. Team Sky well up the front, it's hard to see much. Very | :21:55. | :21:59. | |
exciting. Absolutely excelldnt, it flashed by in ten to 20 seconds | :22:00. | :22:01. | |
crowd jeering. Let's speak to the parish council | :22:02. | :22:29. | |
chairman. You've lived here all your life. Have you seen a day lhke | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
this? Quite extraordinary, we were up early and the atmosphere was | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
electric. It's been a great thrill and it was a huge success for | :22:39. | :22:43. | |
everybody. I've talked to loads of people and it's put us back on the | :22:44. | :22:48. | |
map. It is the most photogr`phed village in the country, but it | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
looked a picture today. It looked fantastic. Fantastic day for the | :22:53. | :23:02. | |
village, a great day for evdryone here, visitors and residents, and | :23:03. | :23:05. | |
hopefully successful for thd businesses. A wonderful famhly | :23:06. | :23:08. | |
atmosphere all day. We've h`d a great day as well. Let's go back to | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
Cambridge. Thousands of people were in | :23:14. | :23:18. | |
Cambridge today and nearly `ll of them either had a tablet or a mobile | :23:19. | :23:23. | |
phone ready to capture the loment the pellet on whizzed past. Many of | :23:24. | :23:28. | |
you were sharing your storids and your pictures. | :23:29. | :23:37. | |
We had this stunning picturd sent to us of the riders going past Kings | :23:38. | :23:46. | |
College in Cambridge. Here's a selection of the best of thd rest. | :23:47. | :24:55. | |
Thank you to all of you who got in touch to help us record this very | :24:56. | :25:24. | |
special day. For me it was best summed up by this family from | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
Suffolk who simply said it's been a great party. | :25:30. | :25:37. | |
Right, the sun hasn't come out, but at least the rain has stoppdd. | :25:38. | :25:39. | |
That's part of the It could be 2425 Celsius. Those are | :25:40. | :27:21. | |
your overnight lows. Today H've seen people watching the Tour de France | :27:22. | :27:25. | |
standing on the back of trahlers so who they can see over the hdads of | :27:26. | :27:30. | |
people in front. I've seen people on a flatbed truck, they've bedn | :27:31. | :27:34. | |
hanging out of windows. The organisers said they wanted this | :27:35. | :27:38. | |
region to be shown in a verx special light. The sun shone, the rhders | :27:39. | :27:45. | |
came and this region looked a picture. From all of us, good night. | :27:46. | :27:47. |
