Good evening. Thousands of people turned out in Preston today to take | :00:13. | :00:18. | |
part in the first big event of the city's Guild year. The BBC's | :00:18. | :00:26. | |
Preston Passion was held at the bus station and aired on BBC One. | :00:26. | :00:32. | |
It was time for that hard work to come together. A modern-day | :00:32. | :00:37. | |
interpretation of the Easter story, televised live on BBC One, from | :00:37. | :00:47. | |
Preston Bus Station. I nodded. It is different, and very | :00:47. | :00:56. | |
nice. You loved the dancing. More than 1,500 people took part, | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
mingling with the crowds before us some in their roles. Three short | :01:00. | :01:06. | |
dramas punctuated this hour-long performance. | :01:06. | :01:13. | |
Intruding in moving debut by 12- year-old Aimee Leech. Tears were | :01:13. | :01:21. | |
dropping on my jacket!. A proud moment for all Prestonians, | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
and the Leyland plant. It was fantastic to play in front of 4,000 | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
people. It was all part of the Preston Guild celebrations, held | :01:31. | :01:38. | |
every 20 years since 1179. I was in the 1972 Guild. I enjoyed it then | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
so I wanted to be in it today. expectations of these people have | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
been so high, and aged a wonderfully professional job. | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
have never entered something like this before. It is a good | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
experience. The Preston Passion was a chance | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
for everyone to take part. Those who did, are unlikely to forget the | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
experience. If you missed it, you can see the | :02:06. | :02:14. | |
whole thing on the BBC iPlayer. New procedures have been introduced | :02:14. | :02:21. | |
at Manchester Airport after it emerged that around 100 passengers | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
recently did not have their passports checked because they were | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
sent the wrong way. They arrived on flights from Amsterdam, Brussels | :02:27. | :02:34. | |
and Antwerp, and were directed to their entry point for domestic | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
flights. Airport staff are now supervising arrivals. | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
Coastguards are warning visitors to the North West coastline to expect | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
some beaches to be shut to vehicles this weekend due to high tides. | :02:46. | :02:54. | |
Some parts of the cost expect tides of more than ten metres. | :02:54. | :03:00. | |
Getting into deep water. The Gormley statues on Crosby beach | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
submerged under the high tide. Spring tides happen once every four | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
weeks, but this month that coincides with the Easter holiday, | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
and there are worries that people may get caught out. Every time we | :03:12. | :03:18. | |
have a spring tide we have some sort of difficulty, because the | :03:18. | :03:25. | |
length of our coast line we have these areas where a more extreme | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
weather type can come in. So Sunday will see the highest tide on our | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
coastline, and the advice is to check the tide times and only | :03:34. | :03:40. | |
venture out after high tide. Wirral's Olympic cyclist Chris | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
Boardman has announced he is to stand by him from his position in | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
British Cycling after the London 2012 Olympics. He was individual | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
pursuit champion in 1992. He is set to quit his role as director of | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
research and development in orders. Wigan claimed the spoils in their | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
rugby League's Super League derby with St Helens. They beat Saints | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
20-ten at Langtree Park. After back-to-back wins against | :04:06. | :04:12. | |
Leeds and Warrington, Saints were hoping for a third. They started | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
well, with an ugly score for Francis Meli. But Wigan turned it | :04:17. | :04:25. | |
round by the break took score 12-4 by half-time. Iosia Soliola scored | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
soon after to pull it back to 12- ten. Wigan then hit back. Sam | :04:30. | :04:36. | |
Tomkins scoring before Michael Shenton's sin-binning triggered two | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
further reading scores from Gareth Hock and Jeff Lima. Five tries for | :04:41. | :04:49. | |
Wigan, securing victory on their first visit to Langtree Park. | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
Meanwhile Warrington came from behind to beat Widnes in last | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
night's Super League tie. Bottom of the table Widnes had a dream start, | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
and got themselves into a 12-0 lead. But Warrington hit back with 46 | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
unanswered points, including a hat- trick from Chris Riley. The final | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
score was 46-12 - leaving Widnes propping up the Super League. | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini says his side can still win | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
the Premier League despite slipping five points behind rivals | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
Manchester United. City are preparing for Sunday's clash in | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
London with fourth-placed Arsenal, which will start half an hour after | :05:14. | :05:24. | |
:05:24. | :05:27. | ||
United finish their game at home to QPR. | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
If they win all the games, they deserve to win this title. But | :05:31. | :05:38. | |
seven games to the end, I think anything can happen. The fact we | :05:38. | :05:48. | |
:05:48. | :05:52. | ||
lose four points in two games, that It has been a disappointing start | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
to Easter. We have been sat under a blanket of cloud all day, and I | :05:56. | :06:02. | |
think we will see the clouds continuing over the next two days. | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
It will be unsettled over the weekend, lots of clients around, | :06:07. | :06:16. | |
rain at times. -- lots of clouds. You can see a messy picture - lots | :06:16. | :06:22. | |
of isobars coming in, so a windy Monday. Tonight it is probably more | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
of what you have seen this afternoon. Cloudy with spots of | :06:26. | :06:32. | |
rain. It will be a murky night. We have the breeze and the clouds, so | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
the temperatures will stick well above freezing. It should be frost- | :06:36. | :06:42. | |
free tomorrow morning, but yet again more of the same. Lots of | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
clouds, starting off through the morning and continuing into the | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
afternoon. Thickening here and there. We may see breaks in the | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
cloud trying to allow the sun to break through. It should be less | :06:54. | :07:02. | |
windy tomorrow, this breezy, a quiet day. 8, 9, ten, maybe even 11 | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
Celsius if we are lucky. More of the same on Easter Sunday. 12 | :07:07. | :07:12. |
