the normal pre`match procedure of Newcastle United's opening game

:00:31.:00:40.

against Manchester City was brought to a halt, and the team captains

:00:41.:00:44.

made their way back to the tunnel. They returned to

the centre circle with the families of Liam Sweeney and John Alder,

Liam's father described the whirlwind of emotions he was

feeling ahead of the commemoration. In their socks off to accommodate

our family and John's family. `` Newcastle United have worked their

socks off. The Manchester City fans have made a flag for them with the

:01:24.:01:31.

Newcastle badge. I think football will be secondary to date. It will

:01:32.:01:34.

be all about Liam and John. It is going to be hard. I would have loved

:01:35.:01:40.

to have run out with a black and white top on in front of everyone.

:01:41.:01:47.

But we have to celebrate these lives.

:01:48.:01:49.

The funeral of Liam Sweeney is due to be held

:01:50.:01:51.

this week, while the body of John Alder is yet to be identified.

:01:52.:01:54.

And you can see more of that story on tomorrow's Look North.

:01:55.:01:57.

Well, in the game itself, despite plenty of effort, and a passionate

:01:58.:02:01.

crowd, Newcastle just couldn't quite find enough to trouble a much more

:02:02.:02:04.

After required opening period, city took the lead in the 37th minute

:02:05.:02:22.

through David Silva. For a time, United looked capable of equalising,

:02:23.:02:24.

especially in the second half of all stop this effort was just one of

:02:25.:02:31.

several wasted chances. But a goal from Sergio Aguero on the final

:02:32.:02:36.

whistle secured all three points. The final score, Newcastle United

:02:37.:02:40.

nil Manchester City two. And you can see full highlights

:02:41.:02:44.

of that game on Match of the Day tonight here on BBC One

:02:45.:02:47.

after our late bulletin at 10:25pm. Thieves have made off with

:02:48.:02:50.

an 18th century piece of armour worth thousands of pounds, after

:02:51.:02:53.

scaling the stonework of one of Police are appealing for witnesses,

:02:54.:02:55.

but say they are unsure exactly They say the more you see something,

:02:56.:03:13.

the less you notice it. For weeks it would appear that parishioners at

:03:14.:03:17.

this church in Bamburgh in walking past the armour of Ferdinand Forster

:03:18.:03:21.

unaware that above their heads, the hook that held his helmet was empty.

:03:22.:03:27.

Thieves had climbed the stone altarpiece to reach the artefact,

:03:28.:03:31.

causing an estimated ?5,000 worth of damage to the elaborate stonework.

:03:32.:03:36.

The crime remained undiscovered until... A group that has particular

interest in the Jacobite rebellion were due to visit and they must have

:03:43.:03:48.

been doing Iraq he earlier in the week, and on Friday they pointed out

:03:49.:03:57.

that the armour up their had gone. Today, parishioners were trolling

:03:58.:04:01.

through the photographs to establish when the helmet disappeared from the

:04:02.:04:05.

background. So far, the date of the crime has been narrowed down to

:04:06.:04:09.

sometime between April and July. I'm amazed that someone has stolen

:04:10.:04:15.

something, but also that they have done it in broad daylight,

:04:16.:04:16.

presumably. Back to sport now, and there's been

:04:17.:04:23.

a gold medal for the region on the final day of the European

:04:24.:04:26.

Athletics Championships in Zurich. Teesside sprinter Richard Kilty was

:04:27.:04:29.

on the third leg of the men's 4x100 relay team ` which strode away with

:04:30.:04:33.

the gold in a time of 37.93 seconds. Just two weeks ago, Kilty was part

:04:34.:04:39.

of the England team which won silver in the same event at

:04:40.:04:45.

the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. Adam Gemili racing against the

clock. Time for the weather

:04:55.:04:56.

prospects to start the week. The wind has been very much a

:04:57.:05:07.

feature of the weather today and the showers, too. Some very heavy ones

:05:08.:05:12.

for a time this afternoon. Still showers overnight, and still strong

:05:13.:05:17.

wind gusting. A cool feel to the night with wind and showers. A low

:05:18.:05:21.

of ten. Showers first thing tomorrow morning. Starting to ease away.

:05:22.:05:25.

Sunshine coming through but still a windy day. And once the showers

:05:26.:05:31.

start to drift eastwards, some spells of sunshine. Still, strong

:05:32.:05:37.

gusts of wind and good waves along the East Coast. Come the afternoon,

:05:38.:05:45.

showers on the sharp side. The strength of the wind a feature of

:05:46.:05:48.

the weather. The good news is that the wind will ease as we move

:05:49.:05:52.

through the afternoon. That's the summary. I'm back with

:05:53.:05:55.

the late news just after 10pm. Good evening. It was a slow start

:05:56.:06:14.

for England and Wales. We got there in the end today. A cloudy morning,

:06:15.:06:20.

with some outbreaks of rain. As that weather front sank south, breaks in

:06:21.:06:24.

the cloud developed. Different further north - it stayed windy and

:06:25.:06:29.

wet, with showers and longer spells of rain at times. That low area of

:06:30.:06:35.

pressure drifts off to the east. A few showers drifting further south,

:06:36.:06:40.

inWales and northern England. The strongest of the winds first

:06:41.:06:44.

thing tomorrow morning across the far north-east of Scotland. Rough

:06:45.:06:48.

seas. Hopefully fewer showers than we have seen today. A cloudy start

:06:49.:06:55.

and we run the risk of a few showers through Wales, the Midlands, into

:06:56.:06:59.

the south-east corner. By the end
