:16:22. > :16:24.They won the League Cup final for the first time in their history at
:16:25. > :16:29.the weekend. When this place gets going, they really raised the roof,
:16:30. > :16:31.there were 3000 fans here at the weekend and there is a another
:16:32. > :16:37.late-night tonight. -- weeknight. It is a good time to be a fan
:16:38. > :16:40.of Milton Keynes Lightning. With their hands on the cup,
:16:41. > :16:43.it is onto the play-offs. And another chance to win some
:16:44. > :16:45.precious silverware. It's very, very difficult
:16:46. > :16:47.to win anything. In this league now,
:16:48. > :16:49.because it is so competitive. They are giving 110%
:16:50. > :16:53.on the ice and off the ice. The Lightning have been
:16:54. > :16:57.on the ice for 15 years now. But never before have
:16:58. > :17:00.they won the League Cup. That all changed on Sunday
:17:01. > :17:02.when they beat local rivals It is the trophy we have
:17:03. > :17:15.never won before. I just wanted to keep the nerves
:17:16. > :17:18.in the penalty shoot out. It was a nice feeling to score such
:17:19. > :17:24.an important goal for the club. Last night, supporters
:17:25. > :17:37.of the Lightning not only A lot of people who see other sports
:17:38. > :17:40.don't really do this type of thing. It's important for the fans to get
:17:41. > :17:43.close to the players. It makes you feel more
:17:44. > :17:45.part of the community. Inside Lightning's dressing room,
:17:46. > :17:47.mostly British players. And when they are on the ice,
:17:48. > :17:55.they can hit speeds of 30 mph. Ahead of them, Swindon, Basingstoke
:17:56. > :17:58.and Hull in the playoffs. With finals weekend in Coventry,
:17:59. > :18:00.the target next month. We have been following
:18:01. > :18:02.for five seasons. You know, towards the top
:18:03. > :18:05.of the table and winning We've got a lovely rink,
:18:06. > :18:10.a great team, so, yeah, The Lightning have
:18:11. > :18:13.already struck once. Now, they are charging
:18:14. > :18:24.for their next piece of silverware. The speed of these players is
:18:25. > :18:29.something. Let's have a chat to the head coach, Pete Russell. You have
:18:30. > :18:33.had a great season, haven't you? You need to finish it off in the
:18:34. > :18:41.play-offs. How easy will it be to win? It is tough. Six games in 12
:18:42. > :18:46.nights. Wednesday, Saturday, Sunday and repeat. We are playing pretty
:18:47. > :18:49.good, so hopefully we can keep going. Peterborough are also in the
:18:50. > :18:54.players. You might meet them in the finals? If both teams get there,
:18:55. > :18:59.there is a good chance of that. We played them, beat them in the final.
:19:00. > :19:06.I don't think they wed like to play us again. Good luck to the Sheffield
:19:07. > :19:08.Steeldogs also. The Duchess of Cornwall got
:19:09. > :19:11.a taste of the future today She came face-to-face
:19:12. > :19:14.with King Charles. But this was a statue,
:19:15. > :19:17.and of a King Charles who lived a long time ago -
:19:18. > :19:20.Charles II. The monarch was known as Old Rowley
:19:21. > :19:23.and was largely responsible for establishing racing
:19:24. > :19:26.on the town's heath. The statue is a replica of one which
:19:27. > :19:31.is at the Old Bailey in London. With a gentle stroke,

:19:47. > :19:50.in a literacy activity. Meeting the Duchess was really cool
:19:51. > :19:53.because I've never met In the Forge, she learnt
:19:54. > :19:59.about the school's close links There was no stage fright on show
:20:00. > :20:18.as the Duchess was treated to a stage rehearsal
:20:19. > :20:21.of the forthcoming production She was friendly, she was keen
:20:22. > :20:29.to talk to the students, And to me, actually,
:20:30. > :20:33.because I was a bit nervous as well. Then, in torrential rain,

:20:42. > :20:43.a statue of King Charles II. Commissioned to mark the home
:20:44. > :20:46.of horse racing's 350th anniversary. Racing as we know it
:20:47. > :20:49.wouldn't have started, he was the man who got the rules,
:20:50. > :20:52.and of course the amazing thing is that the town plate
:20:53. > :20:55.where we were celebrating 350 years of last year, he actually won
:20:56. > :20:57.one of the first few It is amazing to think of a monarch
:20:58. > :21:01.actually riding his own horse In the warm, out of the rain,
:21:02. > :21:06.there was time to meet the great She asked if I had some nice
:21:07. > :21:11.horses for the Queen. And as a parting gift,
:21:12. > :21:25.we gave her a copy of the 350th commemorative edition
:21:26. > :21:27.of Newmarket Monopoly. So she says she would very much
:21:28. > :21:35.enjoyed playing that. It was an exciting day
:21:36. > :21:38.for Newmarket, a town owes much but have become an increasingly
:21:39. > :21:50.common sight in this country. They are popular for their meat
:21:51. > :21:53.in countries like Peru. Here they are kept as pets,
:21:54. > :21:58.or for their beautiful, soft wool. Did you know there
:21:59. > :22:00.is a national show? where Alpacas from all over
:22:01. > :22:08.the country compete for things And a small farm in
:22:09. > :22:14.Cambridgeshire has high hopes Louise Hubball is at
:22:15. > :22:27.the farm in Cambridgeshire. I am with these two handsome chaps,
:22:28. > :22:33.very well behaved. They have both entered into the national show. The
:22:34. > :22:38.white one here, Thorn set, has actually won some of the rosettes
:22:39. > :22:43.behind me. High hopes for him. The family who breed the alpacas started
:22:44. > :22:45.reading them because they want to keep the grass down but did not want
:22:46. > :22:47.to have to mow it. With a heart-shaped noses,
:22:48. > :22:49.tiny hooves, and bursting with personality, it is not hard
:22:50. > :22:56.to see the appeal of alpacas. There is the Imperial Thornset,
:22:57. > :22:59.and cheeky ten-month-old Gabriel. Both are in competition this
:23:00. > :23:05.weekend, a gentle walk So this helps with,
:23:06. > :23:12.when we go to the nationals, so that when they go in the ring,
:23:13. > :23:15.hopefully, they will And they will walk
:23:16. > :23:17.nicely for the judges. Nicky left a job in IT and started
:23:18. > :23:21.breeding alpacas three years ago. She now has 11, and this
:23:22. > :23:30.weekend's competition, the British Alpaca Society's
:23:31. > :23:32.national show, we'll of the animals go to Shropshire
:23:33. > :23:36.to vie for top spot. It is just the enjoyment
:23:37. > :23:38.of going and showing them, and knowing that you have done
:23:39. > :23:41.really well, and that the animals that you are reading are actually
:23:42. > :23:44.coming up to what judges expect The main reason that we breed them
:23:45. > :23:48.is because I am really quite I would like to say no,
:23:49. > :23:53.but I'd think it probably He was crowned supreme champion
:23:54. > :24:03.at another show back in October. More and more people
:24:04. > :24:08.are choosing to keep alpacas. And the herd here is due
:24:09. > :24:10.to expansion with two mothers to be grazing peacefully
:24:11. > :24:21.in the spring sunshine. They are beautifully soft. Really
:24:22. > :24:26.lovely animals. When the judges are doing their bit, they will be
:24:27. > :24:31.looking at how the alpacas stands. How it walks. And this lovely soft
:24:32. > :24:35.fleece, the condition of that, and also their teeth. And they will be
:24:36. > :24:45.shown in paddock condition because it -- and this is meaning they will
:24:46. > :24:47.be shown how they are and their hooves will not need to be baffled.
:24:48. > :24:58.Here's the weather. Some bright weather this morning.
:24:59. > :25:03.Some beautiful sunrise photographs. This one in Norfolk. Then it did go
:25:04. > :25:07.downhill with clouds and habits of rain. Over all parts of the region.
:25:08. > :25:12.This is Cambridge and this afternoon. The weather system
:25:13. > :25:20.responsible visited across this part of the country. Bringing the cloud
:25:21. > :25:23.and rain which at the moment is still lingering across Norfolk,
:25:24. > :25:28.Suffolk and Essex. Mainly affecting the East, but pushing westward
:25:29. > :25:32.through the evening and overnight. Much of the rain should have cleared
:25:33. > :25:35.by the end of the night, looking necklace posted anything and was the
:25:36. > :25:42.Magi picture across the region. Temperatures could get lower.
:25:43. > :25:48.Underneath the clear skies. One or two spots going down lower. Most
:25:49. > :25:52.places just above freezing. The weather system gets pushed out the
:25:53. > :25:55.way by high pressure from the north. That will shape our weather for the
:25:56. > :25:59.next few days. Despite the cloudy start of the day, we should should
:26:00. > :26:03.see some brightness through the day and sunshine. Eight kina
:26:04. > :26:09.north-easterly wind will make it feel chilly at times in that wind.
:26:10. > :26:14.Particularly on the coast itself. Temperatures, highs of 11 Celsius
:26:15. > :26:17.tomorrow. The wind feeling noticeable, but easing down as the
:26:18. > :26:21.day goes on. A fine afternoon with some good spells and sunshine. As we
:26:22. > :26:28.look ahead to the weekend, high pressure is going to dominate. It
:26:29. > :26:31.will stay with us into next week, so we can expect fine, settled,
:26:32. > :26:36.springlike weather for the weekend and beyond. Having said that, even
:26:37. > :26:40.though the temperatures will be around 12 degrees by day with good
:26:41. > :26:48.spells of sunshine, under clear skies it will mean chilly nights. In
:26:49. > :26:51.the country so, it could get a bit cooler than that. A brisk breeze
:26:52. > :26:53.tomorrow. But those winds easing as we go through the rest of the week
:26:54. > :26:57.and into the weekend. The Prime Minister is hosting
:26:58. > :27:01.a meeting of the Cobra Committee - the crisis response committee -
:27:02. > :27:03.following a terrorist Four people - including a police
:27:04. > :27:07.officer - have been killed. At least 20 more have been badly
:27:08. > :27:10.injured after a car crashed into pedestrians on
:27:11. > :27:24.Westminster Bridge. And the Assistant Chief Constable of
:27:25. > :27:29.Essex, anti-profit, has sent his condolences. And there will be
:27:30. > :27:30.increased police presence in Essex including armed officers until
:27:31. > :27:33.further notice.
