:00:00. > :00:00.Good evening. This evening we are at Aintree, home of the Grand National.
:00:00. > :00:12.20 years to the day after two coded bomb warnings brought an end to the
:00:13. > :00:15.world's most famous steeplechase. The stands have been evacuated, the
:00:16. > :00:21.county stand, the Queen Mother stand, and the principality.
:00:22. > :00:26.Racing at Aintree today has been abandoned.
:00:27. > :00:30.60,000 spectators, jockeys and race personnel were forced to abandon the
:00:31. > :00:34.course. They just said you have got to leave
:00:35. > :00:38.your horses, get out of here. I ask all of you to leave the course
:00:39. > :00:42.and get onto the public highway immediately.
:00:43. > :00:47.Charles Barnett was in charge today. He said today, terrorist would
:00:48. > :00:51.strike without warning. You would get a warning from the
:00:52. > :00:54.provisional IRA in those days, and that would give you a chance to deal
:00:55. > :00:59.with it. These days it is a different animal entirely.
:01:00. > :01:04.And as thousands became stranded, Merseyside should true community
:01:05. > :01:08.spirit. All the jockeys were in here in the
:01:09. > :01:21.silks, the whips. It turned into a large party, actually!
:01:22. > :01:26.It is without doubt one of the most famous race courses in the world.
:01:27. > :01:31.And once again, tomorrow, Aintree in Liverpool will play host to the
:01:32. > :01:37.Grand National Festival. The eyes of the world will be on the big race at
:01:38. > :01:42.5:15pm on Saturday afternoon. Just as they were 20 years ago this very
:01:43. > :01:46.day for the 150th running of the world's most famous steeplechase.
:01:47. > :01:53.But the scene here was altogether different, properly as quiet almost
:01:54. > :01:58.as it is now, because 60,000 people had been moved off the course after
:01:59. > :02:04.at 2:50pm that afternoon, two coded bomb warnings were received from the
:02:05. > :02:06.IRA. During the course of the programme this evening, we will take
:02:07. > :02:13.a look back at the events and stories from that afternoon in 1997.
:02:14. > :02:16.In all, 60,000 people had to be moved from the racecourse, and are
:02:17. > :02:22.Merseyside reporter has been taking a look at the evacuation.
:02:23. > :02:27.It was to be a special day, the 150th running of the Grand National
:02:28. > :02:32.turned out to be a very sad day for sport.
:02:33. > :02:38.All the stands have been evacuated, the County stand, the Queen Mother
:02:39. > :02:41.stand... All 60,000 people at Aintree were
:02:42. > :02:45.evacuated. So disappointing for so many people.
:02:46. > :02:49.All the effort and time that has gone into it, it is the biggest race
:02:50. > :02:54.in the world. But the biggest race in the world
:02:55. > :02:57.was facing its biggest challenge. We have a great history of all sorts
:02:58. > :03:02.of things being thrown up in this race, thereafter retails...
:03:03. > :03:09.It seems the race would go on as normal. Then this...
:03:10. > :03:14.They are evacuating the County stand.
:03:15. > :03:19.The fact that you could actually decamp 70,000 racegoers from the
:03:20. > :03:23.racecourse, was something that you just could not believe would be
:03:24. > :03:28.possible. But not only that, it was just terrifying and depressing to
:03:29. > :03:34.feel that this was happening to our great race.
:03:35. > :03:41.We got two warning messages using recognised codewords. There could be
:03:42. > :03:44.a bomb within Aintree. Everybody has been advised to move
:03:45. > :03:49.away from the stand and move into the centre of the racecourse.
:03:50. > :03:53.It came towards the end of a general election campaign, the IRA had been
:03:54. > :03:59.making bomb threats to cause maximum disruption. Police called it 10p
:04:00. > :04:03.terrorism. 10p the price of a phone called from a public phone.
:04:04. > :04:11.Evacuate the whole racecourse and make your way to the park area.
:04:12. > :04:16.Absolute mayhem in terms of people standing outside, it was getting
:04:17. > :04:20.cold and dark. The police had disconnected mobile phones.
:04:21. > :04:27.It meant an empty parade ring, an empty weighing room.
:04:28. > :04:32.A great feeling of disappointment, an empty feeling here at Aintree.
:04:33. > :04:38.There were controlled explosions... BBC reporter Mike Hughes was one of
:04:39. > :04:41.the few able to carry on broadcasting because his radio mike
:04:42. > :04:48.was still connected to a transmitter inside the course.
:04:49. > :04:53.What started off as people from radio Merseyside listening to me
:04:54. > :04:57.ended up that national radio stations opted in, the World
:04:58. > :05:04.Service, little old me on my radio Mike talking to millions of people
:05:05. > :05:07.around the world. Make your way home and leave the
:05:08. > :05:10.area. All local people are being asked by
:05:11. > :05:15.the police to move away from Aintree racecourse. Racing at Aintree has
:05:16. > :05:22.been abandoned. Everyone had to leave, and had to
:05:23. > :05:25.leave almost everything. If you could have just seen the
:05:26. > :05:28.scenes down at the stable yard, where we have had to leave the
:05:29. > :05:32.horses. But the evacuation helped to
:05:33. > :05:37.reconnect the Grand National to its Liverpool home.
:05:38. > :05:42.The people of Merseyside had fallen out of love with it. But that to
:05:43. > :05:47.encapsulated how brilliant the people of Merseyside were and are.
:05:48. > :05:52.And it brought the Grand National ) the city, it was part of the
:05:53. > :05:56.infrastructure. So the people who came to watch the
:05:57. > :06:00.Grand National that day back in 1997, thereafter and did not quite
:06:01. > :06:05.plan out as they had expected it to unfold. These grandstands remained
:06:06. > :06:08.empty for 48 hours as the bomb squad and Merseyside Police looked for
:06:09. > :06:15.those had mixed laws of devices, that whenever find -- explosive
:06:16. > :06:18.devices. The man in charge are still involved in racing, his name is
:06:19. > :06:23.Charles Barnett. I can put them at Chester racecourse and asked him how
:06:24. > :06:29.the events of that day unfolded for the man in charge.
:06:30. > :06:34.We sat in the police control room when the message had come through to
:06:35. > :06:43.evacuate, and it was agreed that I would see Des. He was in a horse box
:06:44. > :06:48.in the car park, and I could see him there.
:06:49. > :06:55.We had that dreadful day in 1993, but insignificant compared to today.
:06:56. > :06:58.Yes, this is tragic. We will have to evacuate the whole course, everyone
:06:59. > :07:02.will have to leave, including the BBC.
:07:03. > :07:08.What did say to you about the of Liverpool?
:07:09. > :07:13.It was extraordinary. Strong, long-term friendships were formed as
:07:14. > :07:18.a result of that, many of which we know of today. Many people go to the
:07:19. > :07:21.Grand National to see old friends they met in 1997. It was great,
:07:22. > :07:25.Liverpool showed absolute best that day.
:07:26. > :07:32.Did you always believe it was a credible threat?
:07:33. > :07:35.In my mind's I, I thought it was highly unlikely there would be a
:07:36. > :07:41.bomb on the racecourse. But there had been bombs going off under that
:07:42. > :07:45.codeword in the weeks before, so it was clearly a no-brainer, you had to
:07:46. > :07:48.evacuate. How do you feel about the people who
:07:49. > :07:55.made the threat that day? I've never really thought about them
:07:56. > :07:59.because it was just bloody annoying. And I guess it was a sign of the
:08:00. > :08:02.times and how the world has changed in the 20 years since, with events
:08:03. > :08:06.that we so recently in London, that those kind of threats are altogether
:08:07. > :08:10.different. Completely different. That was one
:08:11. > :08:15.thing the police were clear about, you get a warning from the
:08:16. > :08:18.provisional IRA in those days, and it gave you a chance to deal with
:08:19. > :08:23.it. These days it is a different animal entirely. I think that would
:08:24. > :08:31.be much more frightening. Does that give your racecourses cost
:08:32. > :08:35.the concern now? I think that's right, they are
:08:36. > :08:37.constantly into Munich with the Home Office about this stuff. -- in
:08:38. > :08:46.communication. Charles Barnett speaking to me a few
:08:47. > :08:53.days ago, a chilling thought the way in which that threat has changed.
:08:54. > :08:56.The stands were all evacuated, 60,000 people left the racecourse.
:08:57. > :09:02.The only living things that remained were the horses, the owners, the
:09:03. > :09:05.jockeys, the stable lads and lasses had to leave their horses behind.
:09:06. > :09:11.One man stayed with them. The stable manager. His name is Derek Thompson,
:09:12. > :09:14.and I am delighted to say that Derek is here. Thank you very much for
:09:15. > :09:18.talking to us this evening. Was it a difficult decision for you to stay
:09:19. > :09:23.behind? Not in the slightest. The horses
:09:24. > :09:27.must come first. Quite literally they did, because at
:09:28. > :09:30.that time, for all you know a bomb could have gone off and there were
:09:31. > :09:36.controlled explosions, weren't there?
:09:37. > :09:39.I don't know, I was too busy. I had a sick horse, so I had to be in
:09:40. > :09:43.touch with the vet to see what we could do with that. Horses which
:09:44. > :09:49.were saddled and needed ropes put on, lots of little things.
:09:50. > :09:58.Whether horses spooks? Not at all.
:09:59. > :10:02.I remember Red Rum, he used to get taken to Southport to a roomful of
:10:03. > :10:11.people when he won a race. They are incredibly calm.
:10:12. > :10:16.Yes, they are very calm, the jump horses.
:10:17. > :10:21.Calmer than the people, sometimes customer?
:10:22. > :10:27.Most people are very cool, I don't think so.
:10:28. > :10:33.How much has this place changed in the last 20 years?
:10:34. > :10:39.It has changed a lot in the last 20, but over the last 40 years it has
:10:40. > :10:45.changed dramatically. Read Run's last win was 40 years
:10:46. > :10:49.ago. Yes, and was only about 6000 people
:10:50. > :10:54.here. There will be 60,000 plus this
:10:55. > :10:57.coming week. Thank you very much for talking to us. Derick Thomson, the
:10:58. > :11:02.stable manager at the Grand National 20 years ago. He did more than 20
:11:03. > :11:07.years in that role here. We will reflect more on events 20 years ago
:11:08. > :11:10.at Aintree a little bit later in the programme, but there is other stuff
:11:11. > :11:11.to catch up on as well, so let's head back to the newsroom and
:11:12. > :11:13.Annabel. It's come to light the police
:11:14. > :11:16.who shot dead an unarmed man in Cheshire had a meeting
:11:17. > :11:33.with the police officer who killed Today at a public enquiry into the
:11:34. > :11:34.death, the request is about why that meeting had taken place.
:11:35. > :11:39.Our Social Affairs Correspondent Clare Fallon's been there today.
:11:40. > :11:45.What have we heard about this meeting?
:11:46. > :11:50.You might think, in the hours and days after an event like this, an
:11:51. > :11:54.event in which an unarmed man was shot dead by police, one of the
:11:55. > :11:58.priorities would be getting clear and accurate accounts from the
:11:59. > :12:03.police officers who were there on the ground when it happened. But
:12:04. > :12:06.today, at the enquiry into the death of Anthony Grainger, we were told
:12:07. > :12:11.that it was six days before the police officers who were there gave
:12:12. > :12:15.their written witness accounts of what had happened. They only gave
:12:16. > :12:19.those accounts after they had had a meeting with another police officer.
:12:20. > :12:25.That was a police officer only known as the 53, and he was the man who
:12:26. > :12:30.shot dead Mark Duggan back in London back in 2011. That was a
:12:31. > :12:33.high-profile police shooting, because the protests that it
:12:34. > :12:37.triggered in London soon escalated, and was rioting, not just in the
:12:38. > :12:40.capital but also here in Liverpool and Manchester, and in other cities.
:12:41. > :12:45.Today, giving evidence to the enquiry, one of the officers who was
:12:46. > :12:49.in that meeting was asked about why it has happened. He was asked by a
:12:50. > :12:53.lawyer representing Anthony Grainger's family, did you not think
:12:54. > :12:59.when the man who shot dead Mark Duggan came up to Manchester and
:13:00. > :13:02.came into a meeting of all of the firearms officers in this case, did
:13:03. > :13:09.you not think, good grief, that is a bit odd. The response from the
:13:10. > :13:11.police officer was now, he said that meeting was simply about welfare and
:13:12. > :13:16.support for the police officers involved.
:13:17. > :13:19.The enquiry has also been hearing from the armed officer who shot
:13:20. > :13:25.Anthony Grainger. That's right, that officer 's only
:13:26. > :13:28.known as Q nine, along with many of the other police officers giving
:13:29. > :13:33.evidence at this enquiry. He has been granted anonymity. His police
:13:34. > :13:37.force argued that he would be at risk if his identity when owned by
:13:38. > :13:42.the public. He was giving evidence behind a thick orange curtain in
:13:43. > :13:46.court. Members of the press and public had their mobile phones
:13:47. > :13:50.confiscated on the way in to stop his identity being made public. He
:13:51. > :13:53.has only just begun giving his evidence, but we are expecting to
:13:54. > :13:55.hear much more from him tomorrow is the enquiry continues.
:13:56. > :13:56.Thank you very much. A cricketer spared jail
:13:57. > :13:58.for beating his wife - after telling a court jail
:13:59. > :14:01.would destroy an offer to play professionally -
:14:02. > :14:03.is to have his sentence reviewed. 34 year-old Mustafa Bashir was given
:14:04. > :14:06.a suspended sentence Bashir told the court
:14:07. > :14:09.he'd lose the offer from Leicestershire County Cricket
:14:10. > :14:12.if he was jailed. But the club later said this
:14:13. > :14:17.claim was "wholly false". People in the Isle of Man
:14:18. > :14:19.are being asked to help the Manx government make
:14:20. > :14:22.?25 million of cuts. It's part of measures
:14:23. > :14:24.to tackle an ?80 million A new webpage has been set up
:14:25. > :14:29.so residents can suggest where they think the money
:14:30. > :14:34.should be saved. And could The Guardian be
:14:35. > :14:36.moving back to According to the Times newspaper,
:14:37. > :14:40.bosses at the Guardian have held secret talks about moving
:14:41. > :14:43.from London to the North West The newspaper confirmed it was
:14:44. > :14:48.looking at ways to make savings, but said there are no plans
:14:49. > :14:53.at present to leave the capital. Staging a spectacular Easter passion
:14:54. > :14:56.play in Manchester City Centre But one of the fund-raising ideas
:14:57. > :15:01.put forward to meet that cost It involved asking people
:15:02. > :15:05.to pay for the experience The committee threw it out -
:15:06. > :15:10.but the man who suggested it stands by his idea,
:15:11. > :15:29.as Dave Guest reports. This was the Manchester Passion of
:15:30. > :15:35.2006, televised live and gave a contemporary slant to the story of
:15:36. > :15:40.Christ's crucifixion. This year, the Passion returns to Manchester. But
:15:41. > :15:45.this time it will have a more traditional feel.
:15:46. > :15:52.We want to try and tell the story in it -- traditional way, but show the
:15:53. > :16:00.relevance. The Manchester inspirational voices
:16:01. > :16:02.will provide the voice -- music. Their energy and experience in
:16:03. > :16:06.singing also connects with the story.
:16:07. > :16:10.The budget this time is more modest at around ?50,000, but the
:16:11. > :16:14.organisers had to raise that money locally, and so began thinking of
:16:15. > :16:18.fundraising ideas. One of their number came up with something he
:16:19. > :16:22.thought would be a winner. He went on an Internet crowdfunding side and
:16:23. > :16:25.offers people the chance of the total crucifixion experience, saying
:16:26. > :16:30.that for a fee they could spend time on the cross.
:16:31. > :16:35.If people want to empathise what it is like to be on across, feel what
:16:36. > :16:40.Jesus went through, that is where it is coming from.
:16:41. > :16:42.But the idea was described as offensive and totally inappropriate
:16:43. > :16:47.by other committee members who demanded it be withdrawn.
:16:48. > :16:50.At the time we thought it was a good idea, that's why I chucked it out
:16:51. > :16:56.there, and I was told to take it down, so I take full responsible.
:16:57. > :17:00.It was enthusiasm getting in the way of sense.
:17:01. > :17:03.You cannot buy time on the cross, but you can enjoy the Manchester
:17:04. > :17:07.Passion for free in Cathedral Gardens this Saturday.
:17:08. > :17:13.We will have a round-up of the day's news in our latest news at 10:30pm,
:17:14. > :17:18.but let's go back to Roger at Aintree.
:17:19. > :17:22.Not often you get to set foot on the hallowed turf of entry. They have
:17:23. > :17:27.been making final preparations during the course of the day for the
:17:28. > :17:32.Grand National, which is off at 5:15pm on Saturday. 20 years ago, a
:17:33. > :17:37.very different scenario, the stands were like they are right now, empty.
:17:38. > :17:41.They had to search every inch of the grandstands and the surrounding area
:17:42. > :17:46.for the supposed two explosive devices. They could not possibly run
:17:47. > :17:53.the race on the same day because they also had to search 16 miles of
:17:54. > :17:57.hollow fence, anything could have been hidden in there, and the
:17:58. > :18:02.authorities were very keen to be aware of that. What that meant was
:18:03. > :18:06.that nobody had anywhere to go. 60,000 people were moved off the
:18:07. > :18:10.racecourse, hotels were full, so BBC Radio 2 Z and the people of
:18:11. > :18:15.Liverpool sprang to the call to help people, and our reporter reports on
:18:16. > :18:18.a remarkable showing of community spirit.
:18:19. > :18:20.You can see how close we are to the racecourse,
:18:21. > :18:26.But 20 years ago it was the owners and trainers, jockeys' entrance,
:18:27. > :18:30.so that would've been full of cars, Rolls-Royces, chauffeurs, all
:18:31. > :18:37.And when the course was evacuated, all that razzmatazz ended
:18:38. > :18:42.All the jockeys were in here in silks, the whips...
:18:43. > :18:45.It turned into a rather large party actually!
:18:46. > :18:48.You could not put a pinhead in the house.
:18:49. > :18:52.The hallway, the porch, the kitchen, the yard, everywhere, you had
:18:53. > :18:57.And we were dispensing food and drinks.
:18:58. > :19:02.Well, we thought we had plenty, till they drank us dry.
:19:03. > :19:05.You all represent the best racers in Britain.
:19:06. > :19:07.We always got Christmas cards from them, thanking us
:19:08. > :19:13.It was an amazing day, it was the most memorable day ever.
:19:14. > :19:15.Spirits were high, but thousands of people still needed to find
:19:16. > :19:25.Get on that bus there, cos that will take us somewhere where...
:19:26. > :19:31.The council has set aside a place as an emergency.
:19:32. > :19:37.I'm joined by two people in the studio, Jack and Sue from sunny
:19:38. > :19:42.Kent. Do you have anywhere to go? No, we tried several hotels and
:19:43. > :19:46.can't get in anywhere. I have got a spare room, I can help
:19:47. > :19:49.put somebody up, and that just started a flood of phone calls. I
:19:50. > :19:53.didn't think anybody should be left on the streets.
:19:54. > :19:57.Schools and sports centres pitched in.
:19:58. > :20:01.There are no hotels, they are all booked up.
:20:02. > :20:04.We decided to stay at the leisure centre with every body else, and it
:20:05. > :20:09.was terrific. Melling Road runs alongside the
:20:10. > :20:11.racecourse, and many of the houses here became homes for the night for
:20:12. > :20:16.racegoers who found themselves stranded.
:20:17. > :20:19.The return men, they were all wagon drivers from Nottingham, and they
:20:20. > :20:26.had gone to the racecourse on a coach. They had nowhere to go, so I
:20:27. > :20:30.ended up winning them all back. I used about 500 tea bags that
:20:31. > :20:34.weekend. I had about ?3 of bacon, and I had
:20:35. > :20:42.to run to the shop to get more eggs, bread, cos I only had three loaves.
:20:43. > :20:45.Carol's generosity was hailed as a shining example of how the people of
:20:46. > :20:49.Liverpool opened their homes and tarts that day. The following month
:20:50. > :20:57.a race at Aintree was named after her.
:20:58. > :21:03.I was really pleased, there were lots of people beside me who took
:21:04. > :21:06.people in. The local people looked after us
:21:07. > :21:10.well. I am amazed at the generosity of the
:21:11. > :21:24.people of Liverpool. We've had the best time!
:21:25. > :21:31.Many of the friendships that were made 20 years ago still stand today.
:21:32. > :21:37.The stands were filled when the race was rerun 48-hour 's later. This is
:21:38. > :21:44.the programme for that day, April seven, 1997. This is the water jump
:21:45. > :21:53.on the famous Grand National course. Back in 1997, Andrew Thorton was one
:21:54. > :22:01.of the jockeys. 14 grand nationals, 1997 Shirley was unforgettable.
:22:02. > :22:06.Very much so. That was a lightweight for me, I had lost quite a few
:22:07. > :22:11.pounds to do the weight, but an hour before the race I remember that we
:22:12. > :22:18.were all just told to evacuate the premises and moved out.
:22:19. > :22:23.Let's bring it up to the modern day. You are standing in front of the
:22:24. > :22:27.water jump. Moments ago you said to me that the water is eight feet, it
:22:28. > :22:35.was a good deal bigger. A good deal wider. Probably another
:22:36. > :22:41.4-5 foot. A bigger test for the horses. But now it is a chance for
:22:42. > :22:44.jockeys and horses together their thoughts and prepare to go out on
:22:45. > :22:48.the final circuit, when the real race start in earnest.
:22:49. > :22:53.Has the changing of the senses, lowering some of them, the Chair,
:22:54. > :22:57.the really intimidating one, has that made less of a lottery and down
:22:58. > :23:01.to the form? It is still a tough race. When you
:23:02. > :23:10.look at the winners in the last ten years, a 100 to one winner, it is
:23:11. > :23:14.still, you still need a lot of luck. You need a clear passage on the way
:23:15. > :23:18.round. Therefore to runners, you do not have that in any other race, so
:23:19. > :23:28.you do need luck, and the formidable fences, Becher's Brook, Valentines,
:23:29. > :23:32.it is still a huge test for horse and jockey.
:23:33. > :23:38.And you once rode a horse that rocked your off quite early on and
:23:39. > :23:44.tell itself even without a jockey. He was about as high as my kitchen
:23:45. > :23:49.table, he felt at Becher's Brook, I got a round of applause after I came
:23:50. > :23:56.back in out of the ambulance. They told me he felt three times loose.
:23:57. > :24:00.He did bounce back. Thank you very much indeed, lovely to see you, and
:24:01. > :24:04.very grateful for you to take the time to talk to us. Andrew Thornton,
:24:05. > :24:07.who rode 14 times in the Grand National. We talk to little bit
:24:08. > :24:13.about the Chair, that is the Fens one back from here, and that is
:24:14. > :24:20.where we will hear the weather forecast.
:24:21. > :24:24.I feel very privileged to be standing on the racecourse and next
:24:25. > :24:29.to offence. It is not often you are standing next to the fences that you
:24:30. > :24:36.realise how massive layer. This is the Chair, the tallest fence, 5'3"
:24:37. > :24:40.tall, and it took the ground staff to days to build it. But it has not
:24:41. > :24:45.been a bad couple of days for gardening or building fences. As we
:24:46. > :24:49.look at the weather chart, you can see we have had a photograph in from
:24:50. > :24:55.one of our weather watchers. This was Warrington this morning. Very
:24:56. > :25:01.cloudy indeed. Today has been very cloudy in Aintree and is going to be
:25:02. > :25:06.another cloudy day tomorrow. For this evening, right across the
:25:07. > :25:09.region, it is a cloudy evening. Cloudy skies right across the
:25:10. > :25:16.region. We may see one or two spots of rain in the overnight period come
:25:17. > :25:19.a light winds around, mostly dry. In terms of temperatures, not going to
:25:20. > :25:25.be particularly warm. Top temperature, or rather, low
:25:26. > :25:30.temperatures of 5-6 . The headlines for tomorrow, more of the same. Cool
:25:31. > :25:38.and cloudy conditions tomorrow. We start off quite grey, quite overcast
:25:39. > :25:41.once again, a lot of cloud around. Into the afternoon, I think we may
:25:42. > :25:46.see the sun just trying to break through in places. At best, maybe
:25:47. > :25:53.some hazy right spells. Very light winds. We could see isolated spots
:25:54. > :25:57.of rain on higher ground, top temperature tomorrow of 10-11 . For
:25:58. > :26:02.Friday, it could be more of the same, but I think it should be drier
:26:03. > :26:07.on Friday and brighter. We are going to keep the same temperatures, maybe
:26:08. > :26:10.11 Celsius for Friday. As we head into the weekend, and once I have
:26:11. > :26:14.some good news for you. We're going to see high-pressure starting to
:26:15. > :26:20.slip away to the other side of the Pennines. But, as it slips away,
:26:21. > :26:25.we're going to see this warmer air flowing in from the south, and so,
:26:26. > :26:32.for Saturday, we could see temperatures in the mid-teens. We
:26:33. > :26:37.could see highs of 14-15 Celsius on Saturday, and into Sunday I think
:26:38. > :26:41.part of gesture or Greater Manchester could see temperatures
:26:42. > :26:47.heading to 20 degrees. The weekend looks to be mostly dry, quite warm,
:26:48. > :26:55.and we are looking forward to a Doctor Bridge of 19 20 degrees
:26:56. > :27:03.answered -- top temperature of 19, 20 degrees on Sunday.
:27:04. > :27:10.When the winner comes up to lift this trophy, as always it will go
:27:11. > :27:19.down in history. Lord Gilliam was the winner back in 19 -- when the
:27:20. > :27:22.Grand National was first run. They have allowed us to film the trophy
:27:23. > :27:46.but not the million pounds that goes with. Have a good evening.
:27:47. > :27:51.CHILD: This is a major scientific breakthrough.
