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

:23:58. | :23:58. | ||
played Elgar. And we did some Johann Sebastian Bach. We did play | :23:58. | :24:07. | |
one modern pace. We will hear from these people later on. The sun was | :24:07. | :24:17. | |
shining, we cannot believe it. Plenty of sunshine today. Let's | :24:17. | :24:25. | |

No, let's get on with the forecast. Very settled. Some rain at times | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
for Good Friday and if we look at the pressure, we can see these | :24:34. | :24:39. | |
weather fronts pushing across. They will bring quite a lot of cloud but | :24:39. | :24:44. | |
not that much rain. Until we get through to Easter Monday. You can | :24:44. | :24:50. | |
see the sunlight, decent amount of sunshine. Sunny skies and that is | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
how the weather will stay heading through this evening. Overnight, | :24:53. | :24:56. | |
clear skies to begin with but through the night, the cloud | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
thickening from the north, bringing the odd spot a drizzle but for most | :25:00. | :25:04. | |
of us it will stay dry and we will see some widespread frost tonight. | :25:04. | :25:09. | |
Temperatures dropping as low as two degrees. Ground frost by the end of | :25:09. | :25:18. | |

westerly breezes and temperatures below average for this time of year. | :25:44. | :25:47. | |
Scarborough and Whitby, eight degrees and through the Vale of | :25:47. | :25:56. | |

start off drizzly but there will be a fair amount of cloud for most of | :26:00. | :26:04. | |
the day and it will turn out to drive. The same for Sunday as well, | :26:04. | :26:08. | |
