:00:15. > :00:25.How we remembered them. Thousands pay silent tribute across the
:00:25. > :00:26.
:00:26. > :00:31.region to the war dead on Armistice Day. And very emotional. Because it
:00:31. > :00:36.is hard, but proud at the same time. Jobs joy in the Potteries as a
:00:36. > :00:39.ceramics firm announces 200 new posts. I am pleased to say that

:01:09. > :01:12.Midlands Today from the BBC. Tonight: thousands pay tribute to
:01:12. > :01:14.our fallen servicemen on Armistice Day. At eleven o'clock this morning,
:01:14. > :01:17.the West Midlands fell silent for two minutes to remember those
:01:17. > :01:22.servicemen and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice for their
:01:22. > :01:27.country. The biggest Armistice Day parade in England was at Bedworth,
:01:27. > :01:32.in Warwickshire, with more than 5,000 people attending. From there,
:01:32. > :01:36.Giles Latcham reports. Bedworth was busy from early
:01:36. > :01:46.morning. The young, and the not-so- young, civilians and ex-servicemen
:01:46. > :01:51.and women gathering to remember. This is the one town in the country
:01:51. > :01:57.that abides it by the original day, the 11th hour of the 11th day of
:01:58. > :02:03.the 11th month. I think it is great. Proud to be Bedworth. We grow up
:02:03. > :02:05.here, and it is a proud day for us. Pipe and drums led the way on the
:02:05. > :02:08.parade through the town centre. Falling in behind, veterans from
:02:08. > :02:16.across the Midlands and units of 30 Signal Regiment and the Royal
:02:16. > :02:23.Fusiliers both based locally. is no doubt about it, there is a
:02:23. > :02:25.feeling of strength, of camaraderie, of community. Among those at the
:02:25. > :02:32.war memorial, the mother of a Bedworth soldier, Sergeant Simon
:02:32. > :02:38.Valentine, killed in Helmand two years ago. For her, a difficult day.
:02:39. > :02:45.Very emotional, because it is hard. Proud at the same time. A beautiful
:02:45. > :02:52.town. He shared the support it year in, year out, not just because of
:02:52. > :02:55.my boy, but the town is well known for its Remembrance and pride.
:02:55. > :02:57.At eleven all over the Midlands people stopped to pay their
:02:58. > :03:03.respects - judges and barristers doffing their wigs outside Stafford
:03:03. > :03:06.In Hanley in Stoke-on-Trent they gathered to remember the campaign
:03:06. > :03:16.in Burma, two veterans now in their nineties honouring the comrades who
:03:16. > :03:22.
:03:22. > :03:30.They are not as bad as they think we are when people turn up to pay
:03:30. > :03:36.their respects to the fallen comrades. In Worcester they
:03:36. > :03:42.gathered in the shadow of the At Rubery on the outskirts of
:03:42. > :03:46.Birmingham, commemoration mixed Poppies showered at the opening of
:03:46. > :03:52.a new market in an area blighted by the collapse of the Rover car works
:03:52. > :04:00.In Bedworth, schoolchildren prepared for the service at the war
:04:00. > :04:06.memorial by writing poems with the theme of remembrance. In Flanders
:04:06. > :04:12.fields of poppies grow, and now we remember the Saunders that have
:04:12. > :04:19.died and the spirits that lie in the sky. It is marvellous. We had
:04:19. > :04:24.350 children. I had to turn 70 away because it was just too big.
:04:24. > :04:28.Not only is it the 11th day of the 11th month, but for once in many
:04:28. > :04:32.generations, the year ends in 11, too. This was the biggest parade
:04:32. > :04:34.since they began in 1921 - in a town proud to remember.
:04:34. > :04:36.Another major focus of today's commemorations was the National
:04:36. > :04:39.Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire, where the names of 16,000
:04:39. > :04:47.servicemen who've died since 1945 are engraved on the Armed Forces
:04:47. > :04:50.Memorial. It's designed so that on the 11th hour of the 11th day of
:04:50. > :04:56.the 11th month, a shaft of sunlight shines through its walls,
:04:56. > :04:59.poignantly hitting the bronze wreath sculpture in the centre.
:04:59. > :05:02.Prince William is patron of an appeal to raise �12 million to
:05:02. > :05:12.build further facilities at Alrewas, and last night a fundraising dinner
:05:12. > :05:14.
:05:14. > :05:20.The National arboretum has become in just a few years the iconic
:05:20. > :05:24.focal point for the nation's remembrance of British heroes. It
:05:24. > :05:28.is a place of sanctuary for those who come to remember, a place at a
:05:28. > :05:30.quiet pride in the selflessness and sacrifice of those who have gone
:05:30. > :05:33.before. We can cross live now to The
:05:33. > :05:36.National Memorial Arboretum where we can join chief executive Charlie
:05:36. > :05:38.Bagot Jewitt. Thanks for joining us, Mr Bagot Jewitt. Another very
:05:38. > :05:48.special day for you at the Arboretum. What are your thoughts
:05:48. > :05:50.
:05:50. > :05:56.on the day? It is always a very moving day. The 11th of the 11th of
:05:56. > :05:59.the 11th, 11 o'clock, certainly a very special time farce. Sadly the
:05:59. > :06:05.sunshine did not come through the aperture in the memorial today, it
:06:05. > :06:08.was just too dark. But I don't think that mattered. Everyone was
:06:08. > :06:13.remembering their own loved one. Visitors numbers are climbing
:06:13. > :06:18.dramatically - hitting 300,000 a year. What do you put that down to?
:06:18. > :06:24.I think there is an national mood for remembrance. We have been in
:06:24. > :06:27.conflict. But I think there is also a national mood to learn and
:06:27. > :06:33.understand what our armed forces do and what they do for us and our
:06:33. > :06:37.freedoms. What we have here is not just better facilities for the
:06:37. > :06:42.visitors, but also interpretation and education facilities so that we
:06:42. > :06:47.can really explain what Remembrance is about and why it is so important.
:06:47. > :06:51.We heard earlier from Prince William - how vital is his support?
:06:51. > :06:55.Absolutely vital. To have the Duke of Cambridge on board supporting
:06:55. > :06:59.our appeal in such an active way and taking such an interest in the
:06:59. > :07:03.site really gives an element of leadership, leadership to the
:07:03. > :07:06.country and to asked to make sure that we really do our best to
:07:06. > :07:12.honour of fallen. And what plans do you have for
:07:12. > :07:16.Remembrance Sunday? We will have a standard service here. I would
:07:16. > :07:21.advise anyone who does want to come here to arrive shortly after 10
:07:21. > :07:27.o'clock. The service will be a normal one with a silence at 11
:07:27. > :07:35.o'clock. And then just after lunch there will be a further thought,
:07:35. > :07:38.prayer and a band concert at sunset. Thank you very much indeed. And on
:07:38. > :07:40.Remembrance Sunday, the Politics Show will be talking to the
:07:40. > :07:42.Coventry Labour MP and former Defence Secretary Bob Ainsworth,
:07:43. > :07:45.who claims British troops are now benefiting from decisions about
:07:46. > :07:48.equipment that he made while in charge at the Ministry of Defence.
:07:48. > :07:50.In recent years, Snatch Land Rovers, body armour and night-vision
:07:51. > :07:59.goggles have all needed improving. Mr Ainsworth admitted delays in
:07:59. > :08:03.replacing kit were very frustrating. There can never be enough. There
:08:03. > :08:08.were improvements before I was Defence Secretary, improvements
:08:08. > :08:14.during my time, it pushed the expense up quite a lot, but it was
:08:14. > :08:16.what was needed. But the time lag is enormous.
:08:16. > :08:20.Also on Sunday's programme, the mid-Worcestershire MP and Defence
:08:20. > :08:24.Minister Peter Luff will be quizzed by an Army mother on what more he
:08:24. > :08:31.can do to help her soldier sons. That's on The Politics Show on
:08:31. > :08:34.Sunday at ten past three on BBC One. A gang of eleven men have been
:08:34. > :08:36.convicted of setting up what police believe was set to be one of the
:08:36. > :08:38.country's largest cannabis factories. The group, mostly from
:08:38. > :08:40.the West Midlands, were arrested following a five-month
:08:40. > :08:43.investigation by Staffordshire Police. At the conclusion of the
:08:43. > :08:47.trial, the judge commended detectives for an operation he said
:08:48. > :08:51.had brought to justice some serious criminals. Here's our Staffordshire
:08:51. > :08:54.reporter, Liz Copper. This was what police discovered
:08:54. > :08:59.when they raided the farm at the centre of this investigation. There
:08:59. > :09:03.were more than 800 plants. They'd have produced cannabis worth an
:09:03. > :09:09.estimated �2.75 million. Detectives also uncovered generators, fans and
:09:09. > :09:12.lighting equipment. This is the gang behind the plan to build what
:09:12. > :09:15.police believe was one of the larges and most sophisticated
:09:15. > :09:21.cannabis factories in the UK. Amongst them, Neil Bridges from
:09:21. > :09:30.Hammerwich and Peter Bassett from Rugeley in Stafford. Also convicted,
:09:30. > :09:37.Paul Hicks from Solihull. Professional plumbers, electricians
:09:37. > :09:40.have been used to set this up. So we feel that it is a long-term
:09:40. > :09:44.operation which potentially was going to benefit a number of
:09:44. > :09:47.individuals for some considerable years.
:09:47. > :09:49.This is the farm in rural Lincolnshire where the drugs were
:09:49. > :09:51.cultivated. The barns here had undergone extensive adaptations,
:09:51. > :10:00.costing around �1.4 million. Cannabis use and its supply have
:10:00. > :10:05.been targeted by both the police and agencies combating drug abuse.
:10:05. > :10:09.Even the ones who use it as a recreational drug, which is a
:10:09. > :10:13.phrase sometimes used, and they use it on an occasional basis, it is a
:10:13. > :10:18.very dangerous path to go down, because some people may not go
:10:18. > :10:22.further down the rocky road of harder drugs, but I'm afraid an
:10:22. > :10:29.awful lot of people do. Police say the gang behind this
:10:30. > :10:32.cannabis factory had criminal links nationwide. The men who have been
:10:32. > :10:40.convicted will all be sent to Inst later. Police say they were living
:10:40. > :10:46.a lavish love * -- sentenced later. Police say they were living a
:10:46. > :10:49.lavish lifestyle funded by their drug dealing.
:10:49. > :10:52.Four men have been found guilty of stabbing to death a shopkeeper in
:10:52. > :10:54.Birmingham in an attack witnessed by his four young children. Suppiah
:10:54. > :10:57.Tharmaseelan's children, who saw his murder via a security camera in
:10:57. > :11:00.the family home, appealed for strong punishment for his killers.
:11:00. > :11:05.The gang who attacked him at his shop in Kingstanding had been
:11:05. > :11:08.drinking heavily nearby and were caught on CCTV leaving a pub. Twins
:11:08. > :11:12.Ian and John Meenan and brothers Anthony Bayliss and Liam Ryan were
:11:12. > :11:22.all found guilty of murder after a month-long trial. A fifth man
:11:22. > :11:25.pleaded guilty to robbery. He is a family man with four young children
:11:25. > :11:31.who has done very well to establish a business, we know how difficult
:11:31. > :11:34.it is to run a business these days. And it was all taken away by five
:11:34. > :11:37.thugs coup came in, stabbed him and number of times and stole
:11:37. > :11:39.cigarettes and alcohol. There's been severe disruption to
:11:39. > :11:41.train services across the Midlands today owing to signalling problems
:11:42. > :11:44.at Wolverhampton. Virgin Trains, London Midland and Cross Country
:11:44. > :11:47.trains have all been affected. Passengers have been able to use
:11:47. > :11:49.their tickets on some National Express bus and tram services
:11:50. > :11:55.instead, but there are still problems and delays across the rail
:11:55. > :11:56.network. Some more positive news about jobs now - there's fresh
:11:57. > :12:00.evidence this evening that Staffordshire's pottery industry
:12:01. > :12:03.could be heading for better times. 200 new jobs have been announced in
:12:03. > :12:07.Stoke-on-Trent in an industry that's seen massive decline in
:12:07. > :12:14.recent years. Laura May McMullan reports now on a growing belief
:12:14. > :12:17.that the good times could be There's little sign of economic
:12:17. > :12:20.struggle at Steelite International in Stoke-on-Trent. In fact they
:12:20. > :12:28.seem to have a handle on their business, and sales are currently
:12:28. > :12:34.glowing. Last year we did have record sales behind a very
:12:35. > :12:38.difficult economic backdrop. I am pleased to say that this year the
:12:38. > :12:41.business is doing even better. put it down to their products still
:12:41. > :12:44.being made in the Potteries. Last year production increased by 24%,
:12:44. > :12:54.and last year's turnover was �60 million. Now they're looking to
:12:54. > :12:55.
:12:55. > :13:00.recruit more staff. We were successful in winning a regional
:13:00. > :13:04.growth fund. The grant will be up to �2 million. What it will do for

:13:22. > :13:26.thing for the City is that his plans to create around 200 jobs.
:13:26. > :13:29.But can the industry its own two feet? Well, figures show it's good
:13:29. > :13:32.news for the tableware sector. Sales last year were up by �31
:13:32. > :13:35.million compared to the previous year. And industry experts at this
:13:35. > :13:38.ceramics fair believe companies are starting to turn a corner. Firms
:13:38. > :13:45.that have got their strategy is right and go for the overseas
:13:45. > :13:54.markets are seeing their sales increase. Shouldn't the Council
:13:54. > :13:57.have protected and promoted its industry way before now? Yes,
:13:57. > :14:06.definitely.That's why we're now starting to bang a drum and say
:14:06. > :14:10.Stoke-on-Trent is open for business. The red carpet is open for any
:14:10. > :14:12.business. Smaller companies like Valentine
:14:12. > :14:19.Clays have seen a substantial growth since attending the ceramics
:14:19. > :14:24.fair last year. They've seen their profits increase by 10%. I think
:14:24. > :14:29.there is a positive attitude in the industry at the moment. We are all
:14:30. > :14:32.working together, and they think it is beginning to pay dividends now.
:14:32. > :14:37.There are currently around 350 ceramics companies in the city,
:14:37. > :14:47.employing more than 20,000 people. This year the forecast is likely to

:15:00. > :15:04.And if this gloomy, cloudy, murky week of weather's been getting you
:15:04. > :15:11.down, I've got some good news for the weekend. There's rain tonight -
:15:11. > :15:14.but then it brightens up. The full Six schools are to be demolished
:15:14. > :15:20.and rebuilt under plans to transform education in Telford in
:15:20. > :15:23.Shropshire. The plans will cost �200 million and mark the return of
:15:23. > :15:27.the Building Schools for the Future programme. The aim is to replace
:15:27. > :15:32.ageing classrooms and cater for a rising birth rate. This report from
:15:32. > :15:34.Ben Godfrey. Year Seven pupils at Charlton
:15:34. > :15:38.School were learning about heavy weights in their science classes
:15:38. > :15:47.today. Within four years, their classrooms could be flattened and
:15:47. > :15:52.replaced with a new school. Something really bright and airy to
:15:52. > :15:56.encourage kids to learn. They have said they will be built bigger
:15:56. > :16:00.classes, and we will be more spaced around. We have covered many
:16:00. > :16:08.stories about building schools for the future on Midlands Today. But
:16:08. > :16:14.this one is not about dilapidated buildings. We have almost 1,200
:16:14. > :16:18.students in a building built in the Sixties and was meant to take 750
:16:18. > :16:27.children. It is a large student population a relatively small
:16:27. > :16:37.school. We have outgrown it. plan was devised by the last Labour
:16:37. > :16:44.government to improve schools. But it was put in detention by the
:16:44. > :16:46.coalition government. But Telford and Wrekin Council has a Labour
:16:46. > :16:52.leadership and last night agreed a revised �200 million rebuilding
:16:52. > :16:56.package. We did have a cut in the funding last year in November, but
:16:56. > :17:01.I'm pleased that this has allowed us to continue. The building
:17:01. > :17:04.schools for the future programme is essential. It'll be in the
:17:04. > :17:07.classroom that school leaders hope to see a real difference. Take a
:17:07. > :17:10.look at Telford's main Catholic college, erected in the '60s and on
:17:10. > :17:12.the list to be demolished. A new Christian faith academy will
:17:12. > :17:17.replace it in Priorslee, taking pupils from a Catholic and Anglican
:17:18. > :17:23.background. It wouldn't really change what we do on a day-to-day
:17:23. > :17:30.basis. We might have to look at aspects of worship, but we are a
:17:30. > :17:33.pretty broad church already. plans are not a very advanced. We
:17:33. > :17:35.were shown this farmer's field where one could be built. A public
:17:35. > :17:38.consultation starts later this month.
:17:38. > :17:41.It's time for sport now on FA Cup weekend. Dan Pallett's here, and we
:17:41. > :17:46.start with something that'll touch everyone, whether they like
:17:46. > :17:49.football or not, Dan. Yes, a very poignant tale. Andy
:17:49. > :17:52.Shankland played just 26 games for Port Vale. He once played against
:17:52. > :17:55.Manchester United at Old Trafford. But he never played in the FA Cup.
:17:55. > :18:00.That's because Andy's career was suddenly cut short by injury. But
:18:00. > :18:03.his bad luck was to turn even worse, as Ian Winter reports.
:18:03. > :18:06.10.30 this morning, and the Port Vale players are off to training.
:18:06. > :18:09.Just like Andy Shankland used to do. But those days are long gone.
:18:09. > :18:16.Because Andy's life has followed a very different path since he first
:18:16. > :18:23.dreamed of hitting the big time in professional football. He was a
:18:23. > :18:27.talented left-winger. 30 years ago, aged 17, he scored on his debut.
:18:27. > :18:33.But five years later, an ankle injury killed off his football
:18:33. > :18:38.career, and worse was to follow. He to come window-cleaning, fell off a
:18:38. > :18:43.ladder, and surgeons had to amputate his left leg.
:18:43. > :18:48.What is your attitude towards life now? Just get on with it! I have
:18:48. > :18:52.always had that attitude. These things happen to you. Things
:18:52. > :18:56.happened other people. You have to make the best of what you have got.
:18:56. > :19:02.Fans of Stoke and Birmingham will remember Jeff Scott, whose career
:19:02. > :19:07.was also ended by injury. He is now helping Andy and thousands more ex-
:19:07. > :19:13.professional to cope with the legacy of old injuries. I am glad
:19:13. > :19:16.we caught Andy, because my fear is that he could have got lost in the
:19:16. > :19:21.community and lost to football. Football needs big stories, and it
:19:21. > :19:25.needs to be seen to be doing something good. I'd like to see
:19:25. > :19:30.football stand up and take some responsibility here. He is part of
:19:30. > :19:33.the Port Vale family, and it highlights that not everybody is a
:19:33. > :19:38.John Terry Oras Steven Gerrard. There are lots of footballers out
:19:38. > :19:41.their dealing with a lot of hardships. Andy grew up in Stoke,
:19:41. > :19:46.and live with one leg isn't easy. With a loving family and supportive
:19:46. > :19:51.friends, he still has plenty to be thankful for. Here today, gone
:19:51. > :19:58.tomorrow. He take it for granted sometimes, you don't always
:19:58. > :20:03.appreciate it. It can be gone just like that. Tomorrow, Andy is hoping
:20:03. > :20:08.Port Vale avoid a banana skin against non-League Grimsby, but
:20:08. > :20:11.experience tells him it won't be the end of the world if they lose.
:20:11. > :20:18.And don't forget all the football action tomorrow will be covered by
:20:18. > :20:24.our colleagues on BBC local radio. What a story about Andy there, and
:20:24. > :20:29.I know that Jeff Scott does a wonderful thing. Tell us about the
:20:29. > :20:33.Birmingham boxer Khalid Yafai. A big day for him.
:20:33. > :20:37.Bizarrely, Britain has to fly wades who could potentially go to the
:20:37. > :20:40.Olympics, and there is only one place. He's fighting for his place
:20:40. > :20:43.at the London Olympics today. Yafai, who's a flyweight, will fight
:20:43. > :20:46.Andrew Selby from Wales for a place in the British team. The winner
:20:46. > :20:48.will be decided over the best of three fights starting this
:20:48. > :20:55.afternoon at York Hall in Bethnall Green. Unfortunately he lost today.
:20:55. > :20:59.So he has to win the next one. If he doesn't win tomorrow, the dream
:20:59. > :21:06.is over seven months before the Olympics.
:21:06. > :21:16.What pressure! Good luck to him. Now it is time to have a look at
:21:16. > :21:22.
:21:22. > :21:29.what the weather is going to do. There are some brighter skies to
:21:29. > :21:34.come through the weekend. It should be mostly dry, and it is going to
:21:34. > :21:38.feel mild, I unseasonably mild for the time of year. But before we get
:21:38. > :21:45.to that, we have some reign to get out of the way -- some rain to get
:21:45. > :21:53.out of the way. That band of rain will push east through the course
:21:54. > :21:58.of the evening. Once it clears away, things will dry up. This is how
:21:58. > :22:03.things look as we start the day tomorrow. This is the weather that
:22:03. > :22:07.brought the rain tonight. This area of high pressure starts to exert
:22:07. > :22:15.its influence, and that will give us some brighter weather through
:22:15. > :22:19.the day tomorrow. One or two isolated showers, but otherwise it
:22:19. > :22:24.is a mainly dry day. In the sunshine, feeling pleasant with a
:22:24. > :22:31.high of 14 or 15 Celsius. A lovely day to head off to the races at
:22:31. > :22:36.Cheltenham. It should be fine and dry, with some sunny spells.
:22:36. > :22:43.Temperatures up to 15 Celsius in a light southerly breeze. Plenty of
:22:43. > :22:53.coverage of that on BBC Radio Gloucestershire. Through the night,
:22:53. > :22:54.
:22:54. > :23:00.some are missed and a Merc creeping There should be some sunny spells
:23:00. > :23:10.developing for Sunday, so it should be fine and dry for any remembrance
:23:10. > :23:14.events you're heading to. The temperatures will lift again to 14
:23:14. > :23:24.or 15 Celsius on Sunday. The start of next week, the days follow a
:23:24. > :23:29.
:23:29. > :23:34.similar passion -- fashion, cloudy The cast and crew from E 20, the
:23:34. > :23:44.new internet spin-off from EastEnders, it is written by a team
:23:44. > :23:48.
:23:48. > :23:58.It is Albert Square all right, but younger, edgier and with more punch.
:23:58. > :24:01.
:24:01. > :24:11.You won't catch this on your telly, but online. And this is face. --
:24:11. > :24:12.
:24:12. > :24:18.Faith. She is hilarious, she wants her own way. The gruelling schedule
:24:18. > :24:23.is no surprise, but there was a surprise from some of the students
:24:23. > :24:29.when they were asked to have a go at scripting. They managed to put
:24:29. > :24:38.together a very gritty script, Peter hears from Melbourne and has
:24:38. > :24:42.worked on it neighbours. Somebody suggested that she was a gay
:24:42. > :24:49.character, I think they said it to get a laugh, but actually it was a
:24:49. > :24:52.good idea. You have to just have your imagination and be creative.
:24:52. > :25:00.Where is our crew? Time to film what they have written, and
:25:00. > :25:05.starring alongside the 20 and their characters is one of our own local
:25:05. > :25:14.students. It has made me think differently about TV and what goes
:25:14. > :25:24.on behind the scenes. Will Walford ever be the same with Faith and her
:25:24. > :25:28.
:25:28. > :25:34.It is going down very well with the kids, very popular apparently.
:25:34. > :25:38.More than 4,000 people have visited the Staffordshire Hoard on display
:25:38. > :25:41.in America. Among the hundreds of items on show in Washington DC are
:25:41. > :25:44.some of the most valuable pieces in the collection. They have been
:25:44. > :25:47.carefully restored and put together by experts in Birmingham. The
:25:47. > :25:57.exhibition is due to last until March next year.

:26:05. > :26:11.Now, if you haven't heard of Movember? It is spelt with an M.
:26:11. > :26:15.Ates a month when men are grow a moustache to raise awareness for
:26:15. > :26:21.prostate and testicular cancer. This year there will be around
:26:21. > :26:27.37,000 new cases. I have been affected through family, and they
:26:27. > :26:33.feel this is a chance for me to try and help in raising awareness for
:26:33. > :26:42.men's prostate and testicular cancer. Let's have a look at
:26:42. > :26:45.tonight's main headlines again. Across the UK, millions of people
:26:45. > :26:48.have been marking Armistice Day, with communities falling silent in
:26:48. > :26:51.memory of those who've lost their lives for their country. That's all
:26:51. > :26:54.from us this evening, on Armistice Day. So much of today's focus has
:26:54. > :26:56.been on the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire - which
:26:56. > :27:04.is where you'll find a special series of photographs taken by
:27:04. > :27:07.visitors to Alrewas. We leave you with some of those images. A day
