:00:14. > :00:18.Welcome to as royal edition of Look North, coming tonight life from
:00:18. > :00:24.York. The sun shone and be turned out in their thousands to welcome
:00:24. > :00:31.the Queen NBS, her Diamond Jubilee year. Her Majesty had come to the
:00:31. > :00:37.city for a special service at yond -- at York Minster, where she
:00:37. > :00:41.distributed Maundy money. I really enjoyed it. As she was
:00:41. > :00:46.wearing her hat and I thought she was wearing it just for me. I had
:00:46. > :00:52.never seen the Queen, but I have done it now. I am very pleased that
:00:52. > :00:57.I have seen her. She is a fantastic lady and I hope that she reins for
:00:57. > :01:06.a long time to come. She then went on to any exhibition
:01:06. > :01:15.at York Museum, celebrating the city at the -- celebrating the
:01:15. > :01:25.city's 800 years of self governance. Karen Matthews served at four or of
:01:25. > :01:28.
:01:28. > :01:34.any eight year sentence for kidnapping her doctor.
:01:34. > :01:39.And the D At Blues - anti- government ditty on making ends
:01:39. > :01:49.meet at Wakefield Cathedral. And we have seen plenty of sunshine
:01:49. > :02:00.
:02:00. > :02:04.today, but it hasn't quite melted Good evening. Thank you for joining
:02:04. > :02:08.us for a rather special programme as Yorke continues to be bathed in
:02:08. > :02:12.sunshine for this memorable day. Thousands of people lined the
:02:12. > :02:17.streets of the city as the Queen came for that Royal Maundy Service
:02:17. > :02:23.in the Minster. With her, the Duke of Edinburgh and the Princess of
:02:23. > :02:33.the Arc, Princess Beatrice. It is a special year for her, Diamond dis
:02:33. > :02:33.
:02:33. > :02:39.belief. But a special day for. Two. Yes, York also has a special day,
:02:39. > :02:42.celebrating 800 years of a royal charter. And there is any
:02:42. > :02:49.exhibition which marks the things that have shaped the city's history
:02:49. > :02:56.over the last 800 years. Tonight, invited VIPs will be looking at
:02:56. > :03:06.this exhibition. First though, if we look at a very special day for
:03:06. > :03:16.the city of the Arc. The enterprising, the socialising,
:03:16. > :03:16.
:03:16. > :03:23.and... De harmonising. They were all on the streets of York today,
:03:23. > :03:27.ready to welcome the diamond queen. I think it is fantastic. I still
:03:27. > :03:32.embrace the monarchy and the Queen and everything and in Canada it is
:03:32. > :03:34.the same. I saw her when I was a young girl at school and I want to
:03:34. > :03:40.see her again. I think she is beautiful.
:03:40. > :03:44.It is worth heading from Norwich to York? Every minute.
:03:44. > :03:50.The grand arches of the art station proved a fitting backdrop for the
:03:50. > :03:57.arrival of the train -- York station. But Her Majesty then bowed
:03:57. > :04:03.to tradition and headed to the bar. Walking through the gates we where
:04:03. > :04:10.so many minor -- where so many monarchs, including herself, have
:04:10. > :04:15.had to ask permission to enter the city. And so, on words to the
:04:15. > :04:21.minster, where the crowds were four or five or more a deep. Union Jack
:04:21. > :04:25.flags were ready to wave and just as excited. I do not know when I'll
:04:25. > :04:29.get another chance to see her, so I thought I would come to see her.
:04:29. > :04:34.Ice our habits, but I did not see her really.
:04:34. > :04:44.It is 40 years since the Queen came to Europe to hand out the Maundy
:04:44. > :04:48.money. -- came to your work. Two things remain constant, the warmth
:04:48. > :04:52.of the occasion and the splendour. Thousands of people lined the
:04:52. > :04:56.streets outside the Minster for more than an hour before the royal
:04:56. > :05:01.procession arrived. Although the only cost the most fleeting of
:05:01. > :05:09.glances, the general consensus is that it has been a great day out.
:05:09. > :05:13.She waved. Yes it is the first time I have seen her except on the news.
:05:13. > :05:20.I wished her congratulations and happy Easter. My son gave her a
:05:20. > :05:26.card and my son's friend gave her flowers. A I was so excited. I
:05:26. > :05:30.shouted at Philippi second time and he looked over and weaved back.
:05:30. > :05:35.A little later outside the mansion house there were more moment stolen
:05:35. > :05:40.by a lucky few, more memories to be treasured for ever. I know
:05:40. > :05:44.absolutely fantastic day. Such an honour for are in the city to have
:05:44. > :05:50.such a historic ceremony taking place here. We are very lucky here,
:05:50. > :05:55.a lot of countries envy it. A Diamond Jubilee and the 800th
:05:55. > :06:02.anniversary of York receiving at Royal Charter. We certainly enjoyed
:06:02. > :06:07.it, but it seems that Her Majesty did too.
:06:07. > :06:11.As you head there, the tradition of the Maundy money is to give money
:06:11. > :06:19.to a number of recipients to reflect the monarch's aid. Of
:06:19. > :06:26.course, the Queen is 86 at the end of this month. Ken John was the
:06:26. > :06:30.first monarch ever to carry out the Maundy Service. -- King and John.
:06:30. > :06:39.The actual core of the Maundy Service goes back to the last
:06:39. > :06:46.supper. Some of the rot set for one TD -- some of those roads that will.
:06:46. > :06:53.Today reflects tease us's robes. The recipients of the money in our
:06:53. > :06:57.local people. But because this is the Diamond Jubilee year, the Queen
:06:57. > :07:05.requested that people from all over the country receive the money. But
:07:05. > :07:13.this man has not come from far. You a recipient of the Monday money.
:07:13. > :07:18.Their tears, look. What was it like meeting the Queen today? It was
:07:18. > :07:24.absolutely marvellous. It was beyond words. You have not been
:07:24. > :07:29.lost for words all day. The that is the first time. It has moved you.
:07:29. > :07:36.Yes, it has. It was really marvellous. To make the Queen is
:07:36. > :07:41.something that we all dream of. It was wonderful. It was a beautiful
:07:41. > :07:51.occasion for everyone. There were thousands who lined the streets.
:07:51. > :07:54.
:07:54. > :08:01.was, for everyone. Can I live now to a young lady who
:08:01. > :08:10.had a very nervous time. She except in -- she presented the posy to the
:08:11. > :08:18.Queen. How was the curtsy? Was it will take? Yes. Had he practised at
:08:18. > :08:26.lots? At Bally I practised it. best place to practise it. The
:08:26. > :08:33.ballet. Did you say anything to the Queen? When I gave her the flowers
:08:33. > :08:37.she said, thank you very much. is lovely. And you are still
:08:37. > :08:46.smiling. We have to say that you were not very well when you were
:08:46. > :08:56.quite tiny, where you? A few years ago what mum, Myriam, she had a
:08:56. > :08:56.
:08:56. > :09:02.hole in the height. -- a hole in her heart. Today has been a happy
:09:02. > :09:09.memory. She said, which it is great to have open heart surgery because
:09:09. > :09:19.I am going to meet the Queen now. I very very proud mum. Did you shed
:09:19. > :09:25.at you? No, I was great, too. Thank you very much for coming,
:09:25. > :09:30.Margaux. We should go to ballet together and curtsy for the Queen.
:09:30. > :09:34.We will be back here with more of the sides and the sense of the day
:09:34. > :09:42.and a look inside at the exhibition year at the Yorkshire Museum. But
:09:42. > :09:44.for now, back to the studio. Karen Matthews, the mother from
:09:44. > :09:50.Dewsbury the sent to prison for kidnapping her own doctor is said
:09:50. > :09:54.to have been released from prison today. She has served have a per
:09:54. > :10:04.eight year sentence. Her accomplice, Michael Donovan, has already been
:10:04. > :10:08.
:10:08. > :10:14.released from prison. This is Dewsbury Moor estate --
:10:15. > :10:19.Dewsbury Moor estate, where Karen Matthews's doctor was found. Her
:10:19. > :10:24.mother was charged and later convicted of her abduction. She has
:10:24. > :10:30.been serving her sentence at Foston Hall Prison and Derby. As is common
:10:30. > :10:36.practice in the prison service, she will be released after Sir -- after
:10:36. > :10:39.serving just have a first sentence. She will have to follow probation
:10:39. > :10:44.service guidelines, one of which is that she is banned from returning
:10:44. > :10:48.to the Dewsbury area. Here is what friends and family need of her
:10:48. > :10:51.release. It was the story that captivated
:10:51. > :11:01.the country. A missing schoolgirl and the community that came
:11:01. > :11:03.
:11:03. > :11:08.together in the hunt to find her. Nobody really had time to think
:11:08. > :11:11.about anything, in the beginning it was about finding Shannon, and
:11:11. > :11:18.after we find her, it was about finding the truth.
:11:18. > :11:24.Just as people were fearing the worst, Shannon was found alive. But
:11:24. > :11:31.this was far from happy ending. Karen Matthews was found guilty of
:11:31. > :11:38.kidnapping and drugging her own doctor, hiding her we in this house.
:11:38. > :11:42.She soon became the most vilified mother in the country. Karen
:11:42. > :11:46.Matthews and her accomplice Michael Donovan were both found guilty of
:11:46. > :11:53.kidnap and sentenced eight years in prison. She was described as evil
:11:53. > :11:57.by the police and disowned by her family and friends. If she tries to.
:11:57. > :12:03.Me now, I will say, do not talk to me. I do not want anything to do
:12:03. > :12:08.with her. We have all washed her hands of her. She got eight years
:12:08. > :12:14.and she's only doing for? In my eyes she should do the whole eight
:12:14. > :12:19.years. Karen Matthews's letters from
:12:19. > :12:22.prison reveal her to the needy and childish. She covered her envelopes
:12:22. > :12:28.with felt-tip doodles of hearts and flowers and use language that was
:12:28. > :12:36.more of that of a teenage girl than a remorse for mother. She requested
:12:36. > :12:44.things like tops and CDs and used phrases like, best friends for ever.
:12:44. > :12:50.She is a child in an adult body. She writes pretty pictures on her
:12:50. > :12:55.envelope, that is the child's side of her. They went on about Michael
:12:55. > :13:01.Donovan's IQ levels, nobody ever mentioned Karen Matthew's, but I
:13:02. > :13:05.bet she is not far behind him. Even from prison she managed to
:13:05. > :13:13.make their headlines. There were claims that she wanted to take a
:13:13. > :13:18.lie-detector test and fantasised about receiving compensation. There
:13:18. > :13:25.are also tales of longing for sex and shopping. High new location has
:13:25. > :13:29.been kept his secret. One thing is sure, she will certainly not be
:13:29. > :13:34.welcome in Dewsbury. People here feel cheated and deceived and no
:13:34. > :13:41.longer want to be reminded of the women who tainted her community.
:13:41. > :13:51.She has lost everything. Her family, her decades, her life. It is all
:13:51. > :13:52.
:13:52. > :13:56.her own fault. Karen Matthews will be given advice
:13:56. > :14:00.from the probation service on how to keep a low profile. There
:14:00. > :14:05.certainly is relief here that she will will not be returning to be
:14:05. > :14:11.Dewsbury region. Whether that can read the area from the stigma of
:14:11. > :14:17.the story is another question. The threatened strike by Ben
:14:17. > :14:22.workers in Sheffield will be called off -- by a rubbish bin workers. A
:14:22. > :14:25.new deal has been agreed on pay and conditions. Rubbish bin collections
:14:25. > :14:29.across the city that had been disrupted for three consecutive
:14:29. > :14:33.Fridays, but the union is now recommending that workers accept
:14:34. > :14:38.the new deal. To 100 homes in North Yorkshire are still without power
:14:38. > :14:45.following yesterday's Severe weather. Workers from the Northern
:14:45. > :14:51.Powergrid are hoping to have 900 homes back on by the end of the day.
:14:51. > :14:57.Problems have been cos particularly end the Rosedale area. An
:14:57. > :15:01.extraordinary general meeting has been called to remove their
:15:01. > :15:07.chairman of Bradford Bulls. They need to raise �0.5 million by
:15:08. > :15:12.tomorrow to stay in business. The cricket season got under way today.
:15:12. > :15:22.Gutter's aim to gain immediate promotion back into -- Yorkshire's
:15:22. > :15:24.
:15:24. > :15:30.keen to gain immediate promotion. It looks like it was a good
:15:30. > :15:36.Churchgoers at Wakefield Cathedral have gone to extraordinary lengths
:15:36. > :15:42.to make the Government hear their voice. It's after an announcement
:15:42. > :15:47.in last month's budget putting VAT on listed buildings. The dean's
:15:47. > :15:57.wife has now recorded a song in protest, as Ian White reports.
:15:57. > :16:07.
:16:07. > :16:17.Changes in the Budget mean ancient buildings were no longer be
:16:17. > :16:18.
:16:18. > :16:24.entitled to reclaim VAT on repairs The Dean's wife was so cross, she
:16:24. > :16:30.put pen to paper to bite this witty ditty. Financial experts reckon
:16:30. > :16:34.that the new tax could cost Wakefield Cathedral �200,000, that
:16:34. > :16:39.means the angel on the side of the war could end up coming back down
:16:39. > :16:45.rather than climbing to the top. would like him very much to see the
:16:45. > :16:49.project's and we could explain why it is damaging. We are desperate in
:16:49. > :16:54.Wakefield, after five years of working to get this off the ground,
:16:54. > :16:58.we started on 19th March and two days later we had the budget and it
:16:58. > :17:08.is a real kick. Pamela says she will sing from this hymn sheet
:17:08. > :17:18.
:17:18. > :17:28.Witty indeed. Let's go back to York for more on the Queen's visit. You
:17:28. > :17:29.
:17:29. > :17:33.can also see the day in pictures on our website. How is it going? This
:17:33. > :17:40.is where the Queen came earlier, to this new exhibition marking 800
:17:40. > :17:44.years of the city of York and this was a tax collectors seal, dipped
:17:44. > :17:50.in wax to authenticate documents and that was what the charter meant,
:17:50. > :17:55.the city was about itself govern for the first time. Tonight, 150
:17:55. > :18:04.people are no New York to celebrate this 800 anniversary and see this
:18:04. > :18:08.new exhibition. Hundreds lined the gardens as the Queen arrived. She
:18:08. > :18:13.was there to open a new exhibition called the Making of the city,
:18:13. > :18:18.which celebrates 800 years of history in York. It showcases the
:18:18. > :18:23.major events that have shaped life in the city since the 13th century.
:18:23. > :18:28.We start with the Charter being granted, this key moment and we
:18:29. > :18:34.then look at the power in the City, York Minster, Saint Mary's Abbey,
:18:34. > :18:40.the people who and how the people made the city great and made it a
:18:41. > :18:47.vibrant place. And all of the monarchy that had visited through
:18:47. > :18:52.the years. It was King John he granted York the Royal Charter back
:18:52. > :18:56.in 1212. Before then, that % charge and the City would have been there
:18:56. > :19:03.should have, based at York Castle. He has sole responsibility for
:19:03. > :19:06.collecting taxes. Yorke was strategically important. But the
:19:06. > :19:10.King's administration was deeply unpopular and disagreements between
:19:10. > :19:15.local traders and the sheriff over who should have power to set up
:19:15. > :19:22.taxes. When granting the charter, King John about the people to
:19:22. > :19:25.collect their own taxes. In effect, govern themselves. The charter was
:19:25. > :19:28.legally binding between the King and the people, setting out the
:19:29. > :19:33.rights, liabilities and responsibilities of self governance.
:19:33. > :19:42.In exchange, they made a down payment of �200 and three courses
:19:42. > :19:45.plus an annual sum of �160. On one level it is just this squalid
:19:46. > :19:51.financial bargain between the city and King John, King John needs
:19:51. > :19:54.money and the City will pay to become free from control. But the
:19:55. > :19:58.significance is it is the first crack in the feudal system, the
:19:58. > :20:05.first time the people who lived in York actually took some degree of
:20:05. > :20:09.control over their own affairs. This year exhibition shows us how
:20:09. > :20:13.King John's charter formed the first steps towards democracy.
:20:13. > :20:22.Helping the city flourished in the 800 years since. Today, it was the
:20:22. > :20:26.present monarch's turned to give York and other royal seal. --
:20:26. > :20:33.another. King John started this and there are lots of people enjoying
:20:33. > :20:36.this new exhibition. Let's talk to keep people involved in this visit.
:20:36. > :20:42.Councillor David Horton, the Lord Mayor. The man who could have
:20:42. > :20:48.refused permission to the monarch to enter. What did she say?
:20:48. > :20:51.welcomed her at Michal get and welcome to to the city. I was not
:20:51. > :21:00.going to refuse entry otherwise it would have been my head on the
:21:00. > :21:07.block. The southern gateway? That was the entrance when the monarch
:21:07. > :21:15.called us arrives. This little ceremony takes place with not only
:21:15. > :21:19.the request to enter the city but also the exposing of the sword and
:21:19. > :21:28.the Queen putting her hand on to the blade. Thank you for joining us.
:21:28. > :21:35.This lady is making history. You are the first female town crier --
:21:35. > :21:40.Chief Executive? I made a tiny bit of the history of the city in
:21:40. > :21:45.greeting the Queen as the first woman. I read the proclamation of
:21:45. > :21:50.greeting and we used some of the words of the 1212 charter, some of
:21:50. > :21:55.the words that beset -- said to Queen Victoria on the Diamond
:21:55. > :22:01.Jubilee and some words from her jubilee this year. It was a special
:22:01. > :22:07.day with the sun shining. This was us at our best, the City was
:22:07. > :22:11.beautiful. Many thanks. You can see the celebrations going on tonight,
:22:11. > :22:21.they will go on for quite some time but meanwhile, let's go into the
:22:21. > :22:25.
:22:25. > :22:34.fresh air. What is that noise? Is their music? I am among the people
:22:34. > :22:40.who had lunch at the Mansion House. These are pupils from the Yorks
:22:40. > :22:43.Arts Academy. They were playing as part of a string quartet. Well,
:22:43. > :22:46.three of them have joined us now. James, Owen and Ella and their
:22:46. > :22:50.tutor, Marcus. They'll be playing for us before the end of the
:22:50. > :22:54.programme. What was it like? Fantastic. It is a lovely building.
:22:54. > :23:02.Just one of those once-in-a- lifetime things. How much practised
:23:03. > :23:10.did you do? Enough! We rehearse every Wednesday. We were actually
:23:10. > :23:16.playing pieces that be had with us already. It is lovely to see young
:23:16. > :23:22.people enjoying a more classical type of music. And of course, you,
:23:22. > :23:30.Marcus! Is there some resurgence? There is quite a lot of this going
:23:30. > :23:38.on. We do the classical side but also the commercial side. Pieces by
:23:38. > :23:48.bands like kings of Leon. Today was more classical? Yes. I know that
:23:48. > :23:48.
:23:48. > :23:58.you're going to play the programme out. What music have you chosen?
:23:58. > :23:58.
:23:58. > :24:07.played Elgar. And we did some Johann Sebastian Bach. We did play
:24:07. > :24:17.one modern pace. We will hear from these people later on. The sun was
:24:17. > :24:25.shining, we cannot believe it. Plenty of sunshine today. Let's
:24:25. > :24:31.look at tonight. And we have some photographs. Can we look at them?
:24:31. > :24:34.No, let's get on with the forecast. Very settled. Some rain at times
:24:34. > :24:39.for Good Friday and if we look at the pressure, we can see these
:24:39. > :24:44.weather fronts pushing across. They will bring quite a lot of cloud but
:24:44. > :24:50.not that much rain. Until we get through to Easter Monday. You can
:24:50. > :24:53.see the sunlight, decent amount of sunshine. Sunny skies and that is
:24:53. > :24:56.how the weather will stay heading through this evening. Overnight,
:24:56. > :25:00.clear skies to begin with but through the night, the cloud
:25:00. > :25:04.thickening from the north, bringing the odd spot a drizzle but for most
:25:04. > :25:09.of us it will stay dry and we will see some widespread frost tonight.
:25:09. > :25:18.Temperatures dropping as low as two degrees. Ground frost by the end of
:25:18. > :25:24.the night. Looking at the San times... Setting at 7:52pm. And the
:25:24. > :25:27.high water times... Cold and frosty starting tomorrow. We will see
