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.

you're going to play the programme out. What music have you chosen?

:23:48.:23:58.
: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.

look at tonight. And we have some photographs. Can we look at them?

:24:25.:24:31.

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.

the night. Looking at the San times... Setting at 7:52pm. And the

:25:18.:25:24.

high water times... Cold and frosty starting tomorrow. We will see

:25:24.:25:27.

increasing cloud, the best brightness first thing in the
