:00:19. > :00:21.Meehan. Ten years since Charlene Downes went missing, police appeal

:00:22. > :00:23.to her old friends as disturbing allegations emerge about her

:00:56. > :01:08.at that speed. But a new book might do better. Eric Morecambe's former

:01:09. > :01:12.driver tells all. It's exactly ten years since Blackpool schoolgirl

:01:13. > :01:15.Charlene Downes disappeared. Detectives are convinced she's been

:01:16. > :01:19.murdered and today announced they were stepping up their inquiry.

:01:20. > :01:26.This afternoon Charlene's family held an emotional memorial service

:01:27. > :01:30.in the resort. Her mother believes she was killed by a Muslim grooming

:01:31. > :01:33.gang, and her case has been taken up by the far right British National

:01:34. > :01:35.Party. But today a national newspaper published evidence

:01:36. > :01:38.suggesting that during her short life Charlene came into contact with

:01:39. > :01:43.white paedophiles, sometimes in her own home. Peter Marshall is here now

:01:44. > :01:48.with more. Today's memorial was to celebrate

:01:49. > :01:55.Charlene's all too short life. They released white doves in her memory.

:01:56. > :02:01.Inside, family and friends, spoke of a young girl full of life, with a

:02:02. > :02:04.ready smile. But a decade since her disappearance they still don't know

:02:05. > :02:09.what happened too her. Al always remember her as my cheeky little

:02:10. > :02:16.girl. Happy and smiling. The smile could fill a room. It was

:02:17. > :02:20.infectious. Police believe she was one of a number of girls who had

:02:21. > :02:25.been groomed for sex by older men in the town. Two Asian take away owners

:02:26. > :02:29.were charged over her death but a jury failed to reach a verdict. Her

:02:30. > :02:36.family are convinced she fell prey to a Muslim paedophile gang

:02:37. > :02:39.operating in the resort. They, and police, hope publicity surrounding

:02:40. > :02:41.recent grooming cases like that in Rochdale will encourage witnesses to

:02:42. > :02:46.come forward. We're saying to people if you were a victim of historical

:02:47. > :02:50.abuse around the time when Charlene Downes and Paige Chivers were

:02:51. > :02:55.murdered, please come forward and we will treat you with respect and

:02:56. > :02:58.listen to your story. Charlene's family have been supported in their

:02:59. > :03:01.fight for justice by the British National Party which claims grooming

:03:02. > :03:11.gangs haven't been tackled because of a misguided sense of political

:03:12. > :03:13.correctness. But today the times newspaper accused the BNP of

:03:14. > :03:16.distorting Charlene's story "to sow seeds of divisive malevolence." It

:03:17. > :03:19.cites confidential police reports suggesting charlene was exposed to

:03:20. > :03:23.sex offenders from an early age They were not related to her.` they

:03:24. > :03:26.were older white men who visited or stayed at the family home. The BNP

:03:27. > :03:32.and Charlene's family rejected the article. My response is that it is

:03:33. > :03:38.appalling. They have got a lot of this from Facebook. I can assure you

:03:39. > :03:47.that is not the case. As far as I'm concerned, my daughter has been

:03:48. > :03:51.abused by groomed gangs. There are many unanswered questions in the

:03:52. > :03:57.case. The key question is, will she ever receive justice? A lift to get

:03:58. > :04:01.her killers behind bars. I've pray that one day that is going to

:04:02. > :04:08.happen. I will never give up. `` I pray. Robert Lund from Lancashire

:04:09. > :04:12.was found guilty of killing his wife Eveyln by three separate courts But

:04:13. > :04:14.tonight he's free and in an exclusive interview with North West

:04:15. > :04:18.Tonight he's still protesting his innocence. His wife's body was found

:04:19. > :04:21.at the bottom of a lake two years after she disappeared from the

:04:22. > :04:25.couple's home in Southern France. Lund was jailed for 12 years and had

:04:26. > :04:31.two appeals rejected. But now he's been released. Chris Bockman

:04:32. > :04:34.reports. This is home for Robert London Eye.

:04:35. > :04:38.He has just been freed after spending nine years in various

:04:39. > :04:43.French jails. For the manslaughter of his wife. He has no chance of

:04:44. > :04:49.clearing his name in the French courts, they chose to speak to the

:04:50. > :04:52.BBC to claim his innocence. I'm speaking to you because I have

:04:53. > :05:00.nothing to hide. My conscience is clear. I am in Assynt and did, wife.

:05:01. > :05:09.French courts find him guilty of manslaughter in three separate

:05:10. > :05:13.trials. Each time... It was claimed that he killed his wife and drove

:05:14. > :05:18.her body into a lake to make it seem like an accident. In my opinion it

:05:19. > :05:23.was an accident. She took a wrong turning. It was dark. It was a

:05:24. > :05:29.terrible night. She was upset. She had been drinking and think she had

:05:30. > :05:34.an accident, unfortunately. Whether people believe he is or not, he says

:05:35. > :05:42.he has to get on with his life. That means finding a job as he is broke.

:05:43. > :05:46.He intends to stay put in France. I hope that other thing is finished

:05:47. > :05:52.and I can get on with my life. I hope I can construct a new life My

:05:53. > :05:59.new life begins after I'll leave prison. I do not look back. His

:06:00. > :06:03.wife's family did not want to be interviewed today but they have

:06:04. > :06:11.always rejected his claims of innocence. S8 the motive by the

:06:12. > :06:16.death was money. Lund wanted access to his wife's life insurance. His

:06:17. > :06:22.legal problems are far from over. He now has to go to court in Leeds

:06:23. > :06:31.later this month because his former in`laws will try to reclaim his

:06:32. > :06:33.French property. There have been further developments

:06:34. > :06:37.regarding possible wrongdoing at Lancashire County Council. The

:06:38. > :06:41.constabulary have confirmed they are conducting their own investigation.

:06:42. > :06:46.Our political editor has been following this story. The police

:06:47. > :06:51.statement is a little vague, it refers to concerns in relation to a

:06:52. > :06:58.number of irregularities What are they talking about? The problem with

:06:59. > :07:06.this is it has always been vague the of the case. But they relate to the

:07:07. > :07:11.creation of an organisation, a joint venture but `` joint`venture tween

:07:12. > :07:14.BT and Lancashire County Council to run certain services, set up by the

:07:15. > :07:19.previous Conservative administration. When Labour took

:07:20. > :07:29.over, they had concerns about that. One was the fact that bonuses of

:07:30. > :07:34.?500 million had been paid to the Chief Executive of that

:07:35. > :07:41.organisation. The second was the decision to award a contract to look

:07:42. > :07:46.after the council's vehicles. That contract was cancelled by Labour.

:07:47. > :07:51.They began an investigation into the Chief Executive of Lancashire County

:07:52. > :07:56.Council. He was suspended and, more recently, he resigned in exchange

:07:57. > :08:02.for them dropping that disciplinary enquiry. Instead what the County

:08:03. > :08:08.Council has done is picking `` picked up those files, and now they

:08:09. > :08:13.have confirmed they are officially investigating. What should we expect

:08:14. > :08:16.to happen? Let's be clear, he has always said he has done nothing

:08:17. > :08:21.wrong and his supporters believe that this is literally motivated.

:08:22. > :08:25.The key question will be what do detectives do know? Do they look at

:08:26. > :08:29.the allegations and say, you know what, this is very serious and we

:08:30. > :08:33.are going to do a full enquiry, or do they look at the evidence and say

:08:34. > :08:38.there is not enough here. That is going to be the question. We will be

:08:39. > :08:44.looking at this issue on Sunday at 11am on BBC One, where at least one

:08:45. > :08:52.MP will be calling for a full enquiry into what is going on.

:08:53. > :08:56.Faxback `` thank you very much. What would you rather have where you

:08:57. > :08:59.live, a market or a Poundland? In Cleveleys, traders in the last of

:09:00. > :09:02.the town's three markets are fighting for survival. On Saturday,

:09:03. > :09:05.with 24 hours notice, they were kicked out to make way for the chain

:09:06. > :09:13.store. Our Business Correspondent Jayne McCubbin watched a very angry,

:09:14. > :09:19.very vocal protest there today. Poundland needs Cleveleys more than

:09:20. > :09:27.clean sleaze needs Poundland! `` Cleveleys. The message was this

:09:28. > :09:32.Poundland is not welcome. The store already has almost 500 branches It

:09:33. > :09:37.wants to open 1000 more. This will be its next. Traders were locked out

:09:38. > :09:44.after a phone call from the landlord on Saturday morning. To be told with

:09:45. > :09:52.24 hours notice, it is ridiculous. There's been no prior warning.

:09:53. > :09:56.Nobody owes any money or rent. Locked inside, tens of thousands of

:09:57. > :10:02.pounds of stock. The livelihoods of 15 traders. Tristram were camped

:10:03. > :10:08.outside tonight in protest. How long will you sleepy? As long as it takes

:10:09. > :10:12.to get this resolved. `` will you sleep here. On Saturday, you had a

:10:13. > :10:18.business but you don't now. What will happen to you? It is a

:10:19. > :10:22.financial hardship. Why have a mortgage and bills to pay. A

:10:23. > :10:27.petition has attracted 5000 signatures. The public has come out

:10:28. > :10:32.in such numbers that it has been a matter of police control. When

:10:33. > :10:39.Poundland comes, will you shop there? No. They cannot offer the

:10:40. > :10:46.friendship. This is the community of Cleveleys. The fight is to save the

:10:47. > :10:52.last of Cleveleys' three markets. This was the second ago, taking over

:10:53. > :10:57.18 months ago. Since then, nothing. It has been empty ever since. We

:10:58. > :10:59.were not able to meet the landlord today but he told the local

:11:00. > :11:05.newspaper that his tenants had had noticed. They disagree. This goes to

:11:06. > :11:08.court on Monday. We will let you know what happens.

:11:09. > :11:11.Health officials are criticising a report which suggests there's a

:11:12. > :11:13.higher risk of cancer for people living near shale gas fracking

:11:14. > :11:17.sites. An American study predicts there will be ten extra cancer cases

:11:18. > :11:23.in any community located within half a mile of a drilling site. Earlier I

:11:24. > :11:26.spoke to George Kowalczk, regional toxicologist for Public Health

:11:27. > :11:32.England. I asked him why he thought the American research was flawed.

:11:33. > :11:40.Fracking, if it is not properly regulated, can release emissions

:11:41. > :11:45.into the atmosphere. But we believe that if it is well maintained and

:11:46. > :11:55.related, the emissions can be made iced. `` minimised. Why do not

:11:56. > :11:59.believe cancer is an issue? There are some chemicals associated with

:12:00. > :12:04.the industry. It is not the gas or the chemicals in fracking but it

:12:05. > :12:08.might come with the infrastructure that is associated with the

:12:09. > :12:17.industry, the vehicles and engines that drive the Wells. They can

:12:18. > :12:20.release emissions, which can release things that are known to cause

:12:21. > :12:25.cancers. These chemicals are in our environment. We can live with them

:12:26. > :12:30.with an acceptable level of risk. Think the American study identified

:12:31. > :12:35.the people living close to those operations, not just the shield gas

:12:36. > :12:39.but the infrastructure operation, were at a low level of risk,

:12:40. > :12:45.equivalent to the level of risk that people experience from heavily

:12:46. > :12:50.trafficked areas. `` shield gas I think we could use that information

:12:51. > :12:56.to make sure that people are kept a reasonable distance from the

:12:57. > :13:02.operation. You can make sure the people are protected from the

:13:03. > :13:06.omissions. You might be able to do that in America where people can get

:13:07. > :13:10.away from the wells but here, there is not that much space. It is

:13:11. > :13:21.perhaps to do with whether wells are cited. `` where the wells are cited.

:13:22. > :13:32.If it is an unacceptable risk, it will not be allowed. Now the stand

:13:33. > :13:36.up comedian Sanderson Jones wasn't joking when he said he wanted to set

:13:37. > :13:38.up a church for those who don't believe in God.

:13:39. > :13:40.He's currently touring the country establishing so called Sunday

:13:41. > :13:46.Assemblies. His latest is in Manchester and our Chief Reporter

:13:47. > :13:53.Dave Guest has been to see it. They are meeting in a church and

:13:54. > :13:57.they have got acquire. `` a acquire. They also have moments of quiet

:13:58. > :14:01.contemplation. They have even got a collection. The one thing they do

:14:02. > :14:10.not have is any reference to God or religion. You put some time in your

:14:11. > :14:15.diary, between Tuesday and Wednesday next week I have time for church.

:14:16. > :14:18.Sanderson Jones is co`founder of the movement. He is a stand`up comedian

:14:19. > :14:22.muscle no surprise to his gatherings are peppered with humour. Just

:14:23. > :14:26.because you were doing something humorous does not mean you cannot

:14:27. > :14:33.have fun. I think we are changing the world. That is a big claim! How?

:14:34. > :14:37.We started out with none of these assemblies and now there are 35

:14:38. > :14:40.already and will be 40 by the end of the year. What we do is celebrate

:14:41. > :14:46.the one thing we have in common and that is that we are alive. Colin

:14:47. > :14:53.Parry was the inaugural speaker His son was killed by an IRA bomb. It

:14:54. > :14:58.could have meant the end of my life very easily. But it was not. The

:14:59. > :15:02.round`up with tea and cakes but no vicar. You might ask, they are a

:15:03. > :15:06.congregation that do not believe in God, so why have their meeting in a

:15:07. > :15:11.church? Apparently this was the only space available. They say it is not

:15:12. > :15:18.the building that matters, but more what goes on inside it.

:15:19. > :15:28.And now to a man many people would think had the dream job. Not you,

:15:29. > :15:32.Roger! Mike Fountain was Eric Morecambe's chauffeur for 15 years

:15:33. > :15:35.during the height of his fame and right up until his untimely death in

:15:36. > :15:37.1984. I have to say, I have been chuckling while we have been

:15:38. > :15:41.watching the report. All the messages, people posting their

:15:42. > :15:46.favourite Eric Morecambe lines on Facebook. The chauffeur has launched

:15:47. > :15:49.his book, called "Driving Mr Morecambe". It's packed with

:15:50. > :15:54.anecdotes and pictures that up until now have not been made public.

:15:55. > :15:59.Appropriately, the event took place at the Morecambe library and Mark

:16:00. > :16:07.Edwardson was there. That's very untidy! I know, their viewers. ``

:16:08. > :16:10.they are yours. Eric and Ernie brought sunshine to millions in a

:16:11. > :16:13.double act that lasted half a century. Mike Fountain was offered

:16:14. > :16:16.the job as Eric Morecambe's chauffeur in the late 1960s. Add a

:16:17. > :16:22.business going, so it took me ten seconds and I said yes! "Driving Mr

:16:23. > :16:25.Morecambe", a portrait of a legend, launched at packed Morecambe

:16:26. > :16:30.library. Mike recalled tales hitherto unheard outside Morecambe's

:16:31. > :16:33.Rolls Royce. The dregs arrived and then, unfortunately, so did two

:16:34. > :16:37.coaches full of women from the Women's Institute. Eric's reaction

:16:38. > :16:44.was honest, friendly and welcoming. He said two words. Hellfire! There

:16:45. > :16:49.are unseen pictures too. The Morecambe family, with Mike

:16:50. > :16:55.Fountain, at a picnic. And backstage at an early Morecambe and Wise show.

:16:56. > :17:00.It is thoroughly enjoyable to read because of that. Because it is

:17:01. > :17:09.honest and lovely. You cannot help but smile. He is not going to sell

:17:10. > :17:17.much ice cream going at that speed. He said, what is that risk are doing

:17:18. > :17:21.there? I said, nothing! And we were pulled over, and the policeman said,

:17:22. > :17:27.excuse me, can I have your autograph? He must have had a fit!

:17:28. > :17:30.Michael was always there with the props. Remember him saying to me

:17:31. > :17:37.that they were the happiest days of his life. `` I remember him saying

:17:38. > :17:44.to me. Eric would have said all the right words but not necessarily in

:17:45. > :17:52.the right order. That was my favourite line. Someone has tweeted,

:17:53. > :17:59.saying that we should do the weather with those classes on! `` classes. I

:18:00. > :18:06.think she should carry them on. She is a stylish woman! `` carry them

:18:07. > :18:13.off. All the sports, not necessarily in the right order. Tell us about

:18:14. > :18:22.Manuel Pellegrini. He has had a bit of a dilemma to resolve. Yes, ahead

:18:23. > :18:24.of City's match against Norwich we understand that Joe Hart has been

:18:25. > :18:28.dropped. Manuel Pellegrini declined to confirm that at his press

:18:29. > :18:31.conference earlier today. But it appears he's gone with his

:18:32. > :18:34.understudy, Costel Pantilimon. Hart has made a number of mistakes in

:18:35. > :18:37.recent matches that have brought the England number one's position as

:18:38. > :18:40.City's first choice into question. This was the latest in that defeat

:18:41. > :18:47.at Chelsea last weekend. Chelsea's winner the result of a mix`up for

:18:48. > :18:50.which the keeper was widely blamed. Pantillimon played in the win at

:18:51. > :18:54.Newcastle in the League Cup in midweek and did well, and the Blues

:18:55. > :18:58.manager has decided to give him a chance in the Premier League. The

:18:59. > :19:01.match of the weekend in the Premier League is at the Emirates Stadium in

:19:02. > :19:03.tomorrow's late kick off when Liverpool visit top`of`the`table

:19:04. > :19:06.Arsenal. The Gunners are just two places and two points better off

:19:07. > :19:08.than Brendan Rodgers' men. The Liverpool manager has praised his

:19:09. > :19:14.team's consistency, particularly strikers Daniel Sturridge and Luis

:19:15. > :19:19.Suarez. Daniel is improving. All the time. And Luis Suarez, everyone

:19:20. > :19:23.talks about his goals and his workrate, but I've seen an

:19:24. > :19:31.improvement in his football and his maturity this year. That bodes well

:19:32. > :19:34.for us. And, of course, you can keep up to date with all the games

:19:35. > :19:38.involving our sides on your BBC local radio station. Some sad news

:19:39. > :19:40.to bring you I'm afraid about the Tranmere Rovers' midfielder Joe

:19:41. > :19:44.Thompson. Joe has been diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. The

:19:45. > :19:47.24`year`old began feeling ill during training a couple of weeks ago and

:19:48. > :19:51.underwent tests, which confirmed he has a form of Hodgkin's disease

:19:52. > :19:57.He'll begin a six month course of chemotherapy. The club is, of

:19:58. > :20:01.course, right behind him. We have been flooded with messages of

:20:02. > :20:06.support from supporters since we announced the news. This puts

:20:07. > :20:11.football into perspective. As you say, as a club, we will do

:20:12. > :20:19.everything we can for him and his family. We all wish you the very

:20:20. > :20:22.best in your recovery, Joe. Now Sale Sharks will be aiming to continue

:20:23. > :20:25.their solid start to the season against Exeter Chiefs tonight. You

:20:26. > :20:28.might remember the Sharks had a terrible start to last season which

:20:29. > :20:33.left them battling relegation. This time they've got a few wins in the

:20:34. > :20:40.bag and as I found out attitude is at the heart of their approach.

:20:41. > :20:43.In the hard edged world of modern rugby union, the Art of winning

:20:44. > :20:51.often comes down to science with little left to chance. This is

:20:52. > :20:55.Sale's blueprint for success. A document crated largely by the

:20:56. > :21:01.players. It is their reference guide for the season. A lot of it is

:21:02. > :21:05.driven by peer pressure. We have the senior players as the drivers. We

:21:06. > :21:15.meet with them twice a week and they drive the momentum. Underpinning the

:21:16. > :21:19.philosophy, a number of keywords. Beliefs, believing that we can win

:21:20. > :21:27.the games. Having the knowledge of the opposition. Having a high skill

:21:28. > :21:32.set which we train towards. And being highly motivated. Those four

:21:33. > :21:36.things do not work unless we turn up at the right attitude. Attitude is

:21:37. > :21:41.the first and foremost word that we use on a daily basis. A simple

:21:42. > :21:45.message that is getting through Last season, Sale lost their opening

:21:46. > :21:51.seven premiership matches. This time, they have already won half of

:21:52. > :21:55.their first six. It is no doubt that Sale have made an impressive start

:21:56. > :21:58.to this campaign. But they know that some of the trickier fixtures come

:21:59. > :22:06.towards the end of the season. It is a long way away. Lessons from last

:22:07. > :22:14.year, we need to get off to a good start. It takes the pressure off. We

:22:15. > :22:21.have done that so far. We look at our home game, and this Friday night

:22:22. > :22:31.is huge. The sort of attitude that will likely please his coaches.

:22:32. > :22:36.Elsewhere, there is lots of rugby elsewhere. The family of the famous

:22:37. > :22:39.Tomkins rugby players have faced a tricky dilemma this week. Sam will

:22:40. > :22:42.be starring for England against Ireland on Saturday in the Rugby

:22:43. > :22:50.League World Cup. Joel is making his debut for England's rugby union team

:22:51. > :22:53.against Australia. So even though the Wiganers are steeped in the

:22:54. > :22:57.13`man code, the Tomkins tribe are all going to watch Joel earn his

:22:58. > :22:59.first cap at Twickenham. Playing in front of 80,000 people at

:23:00. > :23:04.Twickenham, it is a massive buzz. I'm looking forward to it. But like

:23:05. > :23:08.I said, it was a big goal. One of the main reason is akin to rugby

:23:09. > :23:13.union. Thankfully everyone has gone in the right direction. `` one of

:23:14. > :23:19.the main reasons I came to rugby union. I spoke to their mother and

:23:20. > :23:22.they said the family decided they had to go and watch Joel because it

:23:23. > :23:29.is his debut but the more people talk about it, the more guilt thing

:23:30. > :23:35.`` guilty she feels! I wonder how foul proud she must feel!

:23:36. > :23:38.Well, as it's the night after Hallowe'en we thought we'd leave you

:23:39. > :23:41.with some giant ghosts, super`size skeletons and massive monsters.

:23:42. > :23:46.Thousands of people are gathering in Liverpool tonight to see them.

:23:47. > :23:52.You have a lot of punk is here last night! `` you had a lot of pumpkins

:23:53. > :23:57.here last night. They're part of the Hallowe'en Lantern Parade in the

:23:58. > :24:00.city's Sefton Park. Look at those! Reminiscent of the thing they had a

:24:01. > :24:09.couple of years ago, with the big puppet walking around the city. Our

:24:10. > :24:13.Merseyside Reporter, Andy Gill, is there.

:24:14. > :24:17.You can see a tensing skeleton, Michael Jackson and some mushrooms.

:24:18. > :24:22.You might think this is a normal night. Far from it. This is part of

:24:23. > :24:26.the annual Halloween lantern parade. Thousands have come out to watch it

:24:27. > :24:30.because it is spectacular. Ice one chap taking a look at the skeleton,

:24:31. > :24:35.about three years old, and running away. The fact that people last year

:24:36. > :24:39.in the park is an important part of why they put this event on. Lot of

:24:40. > :24:43.people come together to make the latter is, and all sorts of ages

:24:44. > :24:49.come together. The organisers have been telling me that that community

:24:50. > :24:53.spirit, bringing people together in the park, especially at night time,

:24:54. > :24:58.is one of the reasons they put the parade on. It is mixing together the

:24:59. > :25:05.community and professional artists. Daily from Liverpool and the North

:25:06. > :25:10.West but also nationally. `` mainly from. It is a brilliant

:25:11. > :25:16.celebration. It is an antidote to the more commercialised Halloween.

:25:17. > :25:21.So we are doing it a bit differently.

:25:22. > :25:26.As you can see, the parade is in full swing. You can see the

:25:27. > :25:32.community land turns behind me and the music playing. `` community

:25:33. > :25:37.lanterns. They are making their way to a central area where they promise

:25:38. > :25:41.a spectacular firework display. As you can see, the best seat in the

:25:42. > :25:48.house, as always. Fantastic stuff. Let's find out what

:25:49. > :25:53.the weather is going to be like What's going on, and I am afraid it

:25:54. > :25:58.will be unsettled. Plenty of activities going on this weekend. It

:25:59. > :26:03.is like to be unsettled, I am afraid. Strong winds from time to

:26:04. > :26:09.time. And you will see rain or showers. It is all courtesy of this

:26:10. > :26:12.rain. That system is moving away and tomorrow, this low pressure is

:26:13. > :26:20.moving in. Lots of rain. Sunday could be the better day. For

:26:21. > :26:23.tonight, we have had some rain this afternoon and that rain will retreat

:26:24. > :26:29.south initially and then begin to head back up north as we head into

:26:30. > :26:33.dawn. Clearing skies. Here, you can see that the temperatures will drop.

:26:34. > :26:37.Freezing. Tomorrow morning will be clouded. The rain will be breaking

:26:38. > :26:42.into showers. Heavy showers trying to cross the Irish Sea, over the

:26:43. > :26:48.Isle of Man. Initially, they will cross over. Very strong wind as

:26:49. > :26:56.well. 1112 Celsius, a bit disappointing for this time of year.

:26:57. > :27:04.Heavy showers tomorrow. Saturday night looks like this. Heavy,

:27:05. > :27:09.blustery showers. The wind is picking up across the Isle of Man

:27:10. > :27:12.and around the coast. Blackpool in places like that, temperatures

:27:13. > :27:19.dropping to five or six. Of course, on Sunday we have the Diwali

:27:20. > :27:24.celebrations. Hopefully, conditions will improve.

:27:25. > :27:30.We are a hardy lot, I do not think rain will put us off.

:27:31. > :27:37.You have to feel sorry for the people in Sefton Park. Hit or miss

:27:38. > :27:39.showers. Does that sound better We will leave you with some pictures

:27:40. > :27:49.from the lantern parade. Enjoy!
