Louise, thank you. That's all from the BBC News at Six. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Hello, I'm Sally Taylor. Welcome to South Today. In tonight's programme: | :00:00. | :00:15. | |
Celebrating his musical legacy ` hundreds pay tribute to the composer | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
Sir John Tavener at Winchester Cathedral. | :00:20. | :00:25. | |
Naming and shaming drink drivers ` would you shop someone who is over | :00:26. | :00:34. | |
the limit? It's one of the things that you may be saving the life of | :00:35. | :00:40. | |
another person. People should have more sense anyway. | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
An inconvenience for this family ` the disabled toilets that are not | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
fit for purpose. And a childhood shaped by war ` the | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
reunion of evacuees packed off to new families. Poor little thing, she | :00:51. | :01:01. | |
said, come here! And she gathered us into her house. It was lovely. | :01:02. | :01:09. | |
Whether you were familiar with his work or not, he wrote music of great | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
beauty and spirituality. Sir John Tavener was laid to rest today after | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
a service in Winchester Cathedral, attended by some 700 mourners. Sir | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
John was one of Britain's leading composers ` his work was sung at the | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
funeral of Princess Diana. He died earlier this month at his home in | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
the Dorset village of Child Okeford at the age of 69. Katy Austin | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
reports. It was a profoundly spiritual | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
service, for a man who leaves a unique musical legacy. Angels, heard | :01:43. | :01:53. | |
here, was written for the unveiling of a stained glass window in | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
Basingstoke. Sir John Tavener's funeral was attended by hundreds of | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
mourners ` including his widow and three children, a representative of | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
Prince Charles, his fellow composer John Rutter. Many rows were filled | :02:06. | :02:16. | |
by members of the public. It was very moving. The choir were | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
fantastic. It was a very good sendoff. I'm huge fan of his music, | :02:22. | :02:28. | |
and I thought was a very lovely service. It was just amazing. We | :02:29. | :02:35. | |
were so lucky to be here today. The music was so moving. At his music | :02:36. | :02:44. | |
good, as we were told at the start of the service, was confronted Veil | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
that separates this world from the next. For many of us that was deeply | :02:49. | :02:55. | |
spiritual and deeply moving. That is also a good definition of the | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
musical experience too. Music takes us to that place. The service was in | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
the Greek Orthodox tradition ` the faith Tavener joined in his | :03:04. | :03:11. | |
mid`thirties. Winchester Cathedral was chosen for the funeral at the | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
family's request. They moved to nearby Dorset in the year 2000, the | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
same year Sir John received his knighthood, and just last year he | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
composed a carol for Sherborne Girls' school. In previous decades, | :03:22. | :03:23. | |
he had numerous choral works premiered and performed in | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
Winchester. Composition was a life, not a job. As people change, his | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
music changed over the decades, from the early eclecticism of The Whale, | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
recorded onto the Beatles' label, to more serene later works. The | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
Protecting Veil won him a Mercury Music Prize nomination in 1992, and | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
Song for Athene was sung at Princess Diana's funeral. He did suffer | :03:42. | :03:53. | |
long`term ill`health. The music, and another dimension, I believe have | :03:54. | :04:02. | |
always gone together. He was inspired to continue composing by | :04:03. | :04:04. | |
religion and by the Dorset countryside. . At the end of today's | :04:05. | :04:15. | |
funeral, mourners stepped up to kiss the coffin ` a "Final Farewell" to | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
one of Britain's celebrated modern composers ` and a musical maverick. | :04:19. | :04:26. | |
??NEWLINW The Christmas drink drive campaigns start this weekend and | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
several forces in the South say they will name and shame anyone caught | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
drunk behind the wheel. The public are also being encouraged to report | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
motorists they suspect to be over the limit. Our home affairs | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
correspondent Alex Forsyth joined Dorset Police as they unveiled | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
details of their campaign. Take along deep breath. This is one | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
of Dorset's traffic officers who will be out breath testing drivers | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
to see if they have had a drink. It is something the police do more of | :04:55. | :05:01. | |
over the Christmas season. It is something HGV driver Simon Gothard, | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
whose test was clear, welcomes. I'm happy for random checks to take | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
place. It's the only way to stop it. Police step up their testing around | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
the festive period, but this year, some forces are taking a different | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
approach. In Dorset, they are planning to name and shame those | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
caught in releasing the details to the media. Thank, before you get | :05:26. | :05:34. | |
behind the wheel. `` think before you get behind the wheel. People are | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
being asked to text police on a special number. But will they be we | :05:40. | :05:46. | |
do that? Of course I would. They might hurt my granddaughters. It | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
depends on what level it was. If it was someone being very silly, then, | :05:53. | :05:59. | |
sure. I just feel that is one of those things, where you might be | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
saving the life of a child or another person. How can anyone | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
really tell if they are over the limit? People could wander across | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
the road and there is nothing wrong with them, so it's very difficult. | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
Since records began, serious incidents have fallen. A new survey, | :06:17. | :06:23. | |
however, estimates that one in 30 motorists have driven the morning | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
after, while still over the limit. On average, they are five hours away | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
from being sober enough to drive legally. Arrests are at, a trend | :06:33. | :06:39. | |
mirrored in other forces. There has been a significant | :06:40. | :06:47. | |
improvement in attitudes in the last few years, and most people now know | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
that it's not worth driving home the next day, and will make alternative | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
arrangements. However, people don't realise that they may still have | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
alcohol in their system the next day. Many forces are launching | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
campaigns this weekend, in the hope that they will make motorists think | :07:05. | :07:13. | |
about staying sober and safe. A man was rescued from an exploding | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
boat six miles off Littlehampton. He had been trying to fight the fire | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
onboard the Margaret Rose but was forced to abandon ship. Multiple | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
explosions took place and the boat was engulfed in flames. The man was | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
not injured and was recovered from his life raft by the Littlehampton | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
lifeboat crew. Anorexia has a higher death rate | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
than any other mental illness. Research suggests as many as one in | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
five sufferers dies prematurely ` either from medical complications or | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
through suicide. Now the NHS in Berkshire is using social media to | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
help patients recover and stay well. Its supervised online network is | :07:46. | :07:47. | |
proving so successful it's being adapted to help people with other | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
psychiatric disorders. Nikki Mitchell reports. | :07:52. | :07:58. | |
I wrote a status saying I was struggling with weight gain. | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
Katherine gets a reply within minutes. She's been using Berkshire | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
health care's online support network, called Sharon, to help her | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
face her anorexia, for well over a year now. It was created by her | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
consultant. At first, I just logged on and realised there was a whole | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
network of people who understood how I feel and I felt very alone in my | :08:17. | :08:22. | |
feelings. Obviously my family didn't understand and I didn't even | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
understand what I was going through, but on here, I could see others that | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
did understand and that had got through it. It's very inspirational. | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
Some of that inspiration comes from Sophie Schnepp, who helps moderate | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
the site and provides advice. Sophie had anorexia herself and believes | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
she would never have survived had she not been hospitalised nine years | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
ago. She wishes Sharon had been up and running back then. I remember | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
when I was discharged from hospital and from day care and it terrified | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
me, and comparing that to now, Sharon is available with support | :08:54. | :09:05. | |
24`7 to people who need it. There are strict rules ` no personal | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
pictures and no numbers ` so no comparing body weight or calories. | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
Doctors and therapists are in touch with their former patients on Sharon | :09:13. | :09:18. | |
daily. It's another string to our bow that has taken us into people's | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
homes, and it's meeting people's needs in a way that they're quite | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
familiar with, using the internet, using social media and it's allowed | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
us to provide a level of support out of hours that we just couldn't | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
provide within the confines of our service. The NHS insists this is not | :09:32. | :09:39. | |
health care on the cheap. It's an added extra only. And one that can | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
help stop patients like Katherine falling ill again when they're away | :09:44. | :09:56. | |
at University or on holiday. Without Sharon I wouldn't have been able to | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
access treatment again so quickly. Sharon's proved so successful, | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
there's now a Sharon for people suffering depression and anxiety and | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
more are in the pipeline. There'll soon be apps patients can use on the | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
move too. Still to come in this evening's | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
South Today: You can't avoid it ` Christmas is coming. Tonight, | :10:14. | :10:16. | |
children shine a light as they parade through Winchester with their | :10:17. | :10:23. | |
lanterns. Last week, we reported on child | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
poverty in Reading and a conference to discuss ways of tackling the | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
issue. One measure to emerge was a move by the council to ban adverts | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
from payday loan companies, along with other products deemed | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
unethical. But will it make a difference? Tonight, there's | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
uncertainty about whether the council has any say over the adverts | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
on the side of bus stops it owns. Joe Campbell reports. | :10:45. | :10:55. | |
The characters are instantly recognisable, the adverts seemingly | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
everywhere. But not here, if the council has its way. Reading is not | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
short of those offering a little extra cash at a higher interest | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
rate. But the council wants to ban these adverts, . I think it's a good | :11:11. | :11:21. | |
thing that you can't advertise people like wonder, because you stop | :11:22. | :11:28. | |
people being tempted. I don't think it was good to advertise these | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
things. It stops encouraging people to do these things. Not much sign of | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
the adverts on these buses today. They have already told Wrangler the | :11:41. | :11:49. | |
business is not wanted. `` Wrangler. So how easy will it be for the | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
council to call time on some ads like these? This past may belong to | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
the council, but it doesn't own the shelter. That was put up by a | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
private contractor in return for the advertising space. But the council | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
is able to do to restrict who can advertise on sites like this, that | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
remains open for debate. One of the town's Conservative MPs has warned | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
Harding advertisers could mean higher travel fears. They have | :12:20. | :12:22. | |
already been questions as to whether the council should be interviewing | :12:23. | :12:28. | |
into what has been a free market. I think local authorities have a wider | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
role in terms of the health and well`being of the people who live in | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
their areas, I think we have a different dream it from other | :12:36. | :12:38. | |
people. I hope the government might follow suit nationally with this as | :12:39. | :12:46. | |
well. We have had bans on tobacco advertising is for the many years, | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
so I don't see why this is different. This will be decided next | :12:51. | :12:58. | |
week. A Havant man has been charged with | :12:59. | :13:01. | |
assisting an offender following the murder of a 27`year`old father last | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
year. Simon Warton was stabbed after a disturbance at a party in | :13:06. | :13:07. | |
Waterlooville. In December, Sean Bailey was jailed for life for his | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
murder. Today, 24`year`old Robert Cahill was charged for assisting an | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
offender, after he hid Bailey in his flat in Havant and bought him food | :13:15. | :13:17. | |
and clothing to avoid his arrest. The trial continues. | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
A Dorset prison is to become a resettlement facility ` allowing | :13:23. | :13:25. | |
offenders to be housed in a familiar area before they're released. The | :13:26. | :13:28. | |
decision to make HMP Portland the resettlement centre for Dorset | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
follows an earlier move to close Dorchester prison. Many offenders | :13:32. | :13:34. | |
are moved to resettlement prisons close to the area where they live, | :13:35. | :13:37. | |
three months before the end of their sentence. | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
There's two key things that stop offending. One is family support and | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
the other is services that myself and others provide being put into | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
prisons before they are released to make sure that people have something | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
to come out to, a pathway. And by giving us Portland Prison as a | :13:56. | :13:58. | |
resettlement prison, we've got Dorset prisoners coming out into | :13:59. | :14:06. | |
Dorset. The developers behind plans for 1400 | :14:07. | :14:09. | |
new homes near Botley in Hampshire have been given the official green | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
light. Eastleigh Borough Council today issued a decision notice | :14:13. | :14:14. | |
permitting the development at Boorley Green. The new homes and | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
community facilities, including a new primary school, will be built on | :14:19. | :14:21. | |
a green field site. It's been the subject of fierce opposition. | :14:22. | :14:24. | |
Campaigners now have six weeks in which to challenge the decision. | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
A mother from Horsham has attracted 13,000 signatures for a petition | :14:31. | :14:32. | |
calling for better public toilets for severely disabled children in | :14:33. | :14:39. | |
the West Sussex town. Parents say ordinary disabled toilets don't have | :14:40. | :14:42. | |
a bench and hoist, so children and adults with severe disabilities | :14:43. | :14:45. | |
usually end up being changed on the floor. The local council says it's | :14:46. | :14:48. | |
trying to find a suitable town centre location for the sort of | :14:49. | :14:55. | |
facility the parents want. Sean Killick reports. | :14:56. | :15:02. | |
Parents of children with severe disabilities meeting for coffee. | :15:03. | :15:06. | |
They seem no in the town centre is there a disabled lavatory suitable | :15:07. | :15:12. | |
to take their children to change them. This mother posted on the | :15:13. | :15:18. | |
internet a photograph of her husband changing their son in a local | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
disabled toilet, and in three days, a campaign was at and running and | :15:23. | :15:31. | |
has attracted 13,000 signatures. Usually, disabled children are | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
high`risk for catching infections, and might be hospitalised. | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
Obviously, if your child is touching the floor in a toilet, and germs are | :15:41. | :15:46. | |
all over you, and they are at a very high risk of becoming ill. It can be | :15:47. | :15:53. | |
very life`threatening. Parents and a lack of facilities in Horesham is | :15:54. | :15:59. | |
causing them to shop elsewhere. Michael to Bluewater, because they | :16:00. | :16:04. | |
have facilities. We have maps of the locations that allow us to change | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
our children in suitable facilities. Kerry showed me a toilet in a | :16:10. | :16:16. | |
leisure centre which the parents they became the facility they need | :16:17. | :16:21. | |
in the town centre. The hoist is the main feature, because this saves the | :16:22. | :16:29. | |
caregiver's back primarily. Horsham District Council told us that there | :16:30. | :16:35. | |
is another toilet in a local leisure centre, and we're planning a third, | :16:36. | :16:40. | |
but they accept that one in a more central location the desirable. They | :16:41. | :16:45. | |
say they are working with parents to find one. | :16:46. | :16:48. | |
You've been having your say on this issue ` so here are some comments | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
from our Facebook page. Allan Marsh says it's a great idea but the | :16:53. | :16:55. | |
increased expense will just see more toilets being closed and they are | :16:56. | :16:58. | |
slowly disappearing already. Toilets are a necessity not a luxury, | :16:59. | :17:01. | |
insists Joyce Salter. It sounds good in principle, says Annie | :17:02. | :17:03. | |
Christopher, but the campaigner should be asked to work out a way of | :17:04. | :17:09. | |
funding it. Think it through to its conclusion, not just banner`wave to | :17:10. | :17:12. | |
shame them into action. Very necessary measure, declares Pat | :17:13. | :17:16. | |
Ilsley. I wouldn't want to lay on a public toilet floor. Would you? And | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
if you've got a view on this or other stories, then you can add your | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
thoughts to the South Today Facebook page. Thank you very much for all | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
your comments. There's also a chance to catch up on some of our films ` | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
including last night's story about the dinosaur skeleton auction ` as | :17:34. | :17:36. | |
well as galleries of the weather pictures you send in. | :17:37. | :17:45. | |
More than half of all delays on the rail network are due to Network Rail | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
and not the train operators, according to new figures. In the | :17:50. | :17:52. | |
last week alone, there have been major signal failures through the | :17:53. | :17:55. | |
Thames Valley and on Southern services into London, leading to | :17:56. | :17:58. | |
long delays for tens of thousands of passengers. Although Network Rail is | :17:59. | :18:00. | |
currently renewing track between Salisbury and Andover, the Rail | :18:01. | :18:03. | |
Regulator says it is under`spending on maintenance and could face a | :18:04. | :18:06. | |
substantial fine. It's been revealed all Gatwick | :18:07. | :18:09. | |
Express services between the airport and London will be cancelled between | :18:10. | :18:16. | |
Christmas and New Year's Day. Essential engineering work is due to | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
take place on the line. The period following Christmas Day will also | :18:21. | :18:22. | |
see disruption on Cross Country trains, running between Reading and | :18:23. | :18:25. | |
Basingstoke. And many services through the Thames Valley will | :18:26. | :18:28. | |
switch to bus because the Western mainline will be closed between | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
Slough and Paddington. Now, there's a lot of choice when it | :18:34. | :18:36. | |
comes to coffee. Many drinkers choose Fairtrade varieties because | :18:37. | :18:39. | |
it gives extra help to producers, and one Hampshire coffee shop is run | :18:40. | :18:43. | |
as a charity to support slum children in Kenya. But the trustees | :18:44. | :18:47. | |
of Asante in Chandler's Ford say their work is being put at risk | :18:48. | :18:50. | |
because a neighbouring supermarket is giving away free hot drinks. Ena | :18:51. | :19:03. | |
Miller reports. Whatever happens in this skill in | :19:04. | :19:06. | |
Kenya is directly affected by what happens in this coffee shop. All the | :19:07. | :19:12. | |
profits go towards educating 300 children living in the slums of | :19:13. | :19:17. | |
Kenya. Last year, they released the scheme does and pains. This year, | :19:18. | :19:22. | |
they say they will be lucky to cover their overheads. They claim a local | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
supermarket is fishing the `` forcing them out of business. | :19:28. | :19:33. | |
Waitrose have been offering a deal which says that you can have a free | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
copy every day. We are now on to our contingency fund. Which loyalty card | :19:39. | :19:48. | |
holders can get a free hot drink. That is a charity place, isn't it? | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
Yes, that is not clear. Do you feel bad? A bit guilty, perhaps. I don't | :19:53. | :20:01. | |
feel strongly one way or another, really. Would you think about local | :20:02. | :20:07. | |
office shops that are suffering? I haven't thought about that, because | :20:08. | :20:12. | |
I shop at Waitrose. Waitrose say they are doing nothing new and | :20:13. | :20:16. | |
always raise money for charity. The branch gives ?1000 per month to | :20:17. | :20:21. | |
charity through their token scheme. A similar case was reported in | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
Buckinghamshire, where a coffee shop owner went to the Office of Fair | :20:27. | :20:30. | |
Trading, but they came back and said that Waitrose had not broken any | :20:31. | :20:34. | |
rules, and for not doing anything wrong. The thing is, what is | :20:35. | :20:40. | |
competition? If something is being given away free, that is not | :20:41. | :20:45. | |
competition. That is changing the market. I don't think Waitrose have | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
thought this through, that what they are doing is killing something that | :20:50. | :20:54. | |
is a community`based business. It is the power of coffee extends beyond | :20:55. | :21:05. | |
the cup. It affects lives too. Do I see it, Christmas is less than a | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
month away, and Christmas market are springing up all over the south, | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
including in Winchester. Children's Lantern Festival is happening | :21:14. | :21:20. | |
tonight. Sarah is amongst them. I am surrounded by beautiful | :21:21. | :21:28. | |
handmade lanterns, more than 150 at this year's Lantern Parade. It is | :21:29. | :21:33. | |
the sixth year, and this time around, they have given it its own | :21:34. | :21:38. | |
event which is a magnificent view. There are angels, snowmen, presents, | :21:39. | :21:45. | |
lots and lots of festive things. But whenever angels is Miranda Hart, the | :21:46. | :21:52. | |
comedian. Lots of hard work have gone into this. Let's chat to them. | :21:53. | :21:58. | |
Which one is your Lantern? I did that one. His name is Steve. That is | :21:59. | :22:04. | |
from a computer game? And is it echoed like this? Yes. Ladies, you | :22:05. | :22:11. | |
have a beautiful star. Tell me about this one. We chose it because it is | :22:12. | :22:16. | |
a simple design, and it looks beautiful. Whether any arguments | :22:17. | :22:23. | |
about this? Not really. We all like the same idea. Fantastic. And here | :22:24. | :22:30. | |
we have a beautiful cat. How long did that take to make? We took about | :22:31. | :22:36. | |
two hours each weekend, so about four hours in total. Very well done, | :22:37. | :22:42. | |
it looks fantastic. Things are starting to feel very festive here | :22:43. | :22:49. | |
indeed, and it is not even December! | :22:50. | :22:51. | |
Sailor, I understand there is a competition as to best Lantern? | :22:52. | :22:54. | |
That's going to be very tough, isn't it? | :22:55. | :22:57. | |
Yes, a tricky one to decide, there are so many wonderful lanterns. I | :22:58. | :23:05. | |
saw a champagne bottle, which was wonderful. | :23:06. | :23:08. | |
Yes, that's one that you would have picked out! Will come back to you | :23:09. | :23:15. | |
for the weather. Evacuees who were forced to leave | :23:16. | :23:18. | |
their homes in Southampton during the Second World War have come | :23:19. | :23:21. | |
together to share their experiences. More than three million children | :23:22. | :23:24. | |
were moved from cities in the UK under Operation Pied Piper. Its aim | :23:25. | :23:28. | |
was to keep them safe from bombing. And as James Ingham reports, those | :23:29. | :23:31. | |
memories of leaving their families behind remain as vivid as ever. | :23:32. | :23:34. | |
So, it's goodbye to the cities and danger areas. Labelled and loaded | :23:35. | :23:40. | |
and not forgetting their gas masks, the children head for the... In | :23:41. | :23:43. | |
cities across the country, these heartbreaking scenes were the same. | :23:44. | :23:45. | |
Bewildered and confused, children were packed off to an uncertain | :23:46. | :23:52. | |
future. I was chosen by this lady who turned out to be a very strict, | :23:53. | :23:59. | |
Victorian person. I can't remember ever being kissed or cuddled or | :24:00. | :24:03. | |
anything like that. Lucy remembers a difficult time living in Somerset, | :24:04. | :24:09. | |
and little contact with home. I was there for four years and I saw my | :24:10. | :24:13. | |
parents for one day every six months. What the children have got | :24:14. | :24:19. | |
today, you think, my goodness, they have no idea what homesickness is. | :24:20. | :24:26. | |
Everyone at this reunion had vivid memories of the evacuation. All told | :24:27. | :24:31. | |
me how painful it was leaving their families. But Jean was lucky ` | :24:32. | :24:34. | |
welcomed by her carer with open arms. Oh, poor little thing, she | :24:35. | :24:39. | |
said, come here! And she gathered us into her house. It was lovely. She | :24:40. | :24:46. | |
really, really looked after us. Alan and Beryl didn't know each other | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
then, but they were on the same boat to Canada, which was torpedoed and | :24:51. | :24:57. | |
which ended their brief evacuation. I had a sister who was four years | :24:58. | :25:02. | |
younger than me. I was 12 and she was eight. I said, what do you want | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
to do, go on the next boat? And she started crying and said, no, I want | :25:08. | :25:11. | |
to go home to mummy. And that... I was greatly relieved at that, so we | :25:12. | :25:14. | |
came home. So many memories shared from a childhood shaped by war. | :25:15. | :25:29. | |
Let's return to Winchester now and join Sarah. Let's get the latest | :25:30. | :25:36. | |
weather. The weather has been kind to the | :25:37. | :25:39. | |
parade today, and if you look at the satellite from earlier on, you can | :25:40. | :25:43. | |
see the thickest of the cloud eventually sink southwards, but all | :25:44. | :25:49. | |
of us have had a gloomy day. It looks like we stick with that cloud | :25:50. | :25:52. | |
coverage through tonight as well. We could see some patchy nest and maybe | :25:53. | :25:58. | |
some light drizzle, secular life through higher ground. Temperatures | :25:59. | :26:03. | |
will be relatively mild with six or seven degrees appearing. It looks | :26:04. | :26:08. | |
like a gloomy start for tomorrow morning as well, so we start on the | :26:09. | :26:14. | |
grey and misty theme, but the cloud will eventually start to break up. | :26:15. | :26:19. | |
Achieving both ease away, and into Friday, we'll start to see things | :26:20. | :26:24. | |
cheer up. In fact, we could see some brighter skies and sunny spells, but | :26:25. | :26:29. | |
feeling a little chilly in the north westerly wind. It will feel rather | :26:30. | :26:32. | |
fresh indeed. Temperatures probably will peak around ten degrees. So, | :26:33. | :26:42. | |
looking ahead to tomorrow, not a great deal changes, we may see some | :26:43. | :26:46. | |
showers in the East, but for the most part, clear spells overheads | :26:47. | :26:51. | |
with the breeze around, so temperatures of four or five | :26:52. | :26:56. | |
degrees. Probably not too much frost overnight. I chilly start to the | :26:57. | :27:04. | |
weekend, and fact `` in fact, some sunny and breezy days, and into | :27:05. | :27:12. | |
Saturday, cloud will increase and Sunday could be very chilly to start | :27:13. | :27:18. | |
with with perhaps even some frost. It's a cloudy start next week, with | :27:19. | :27:23. | |
the potential for colder conditions later in the | :27:24. | :27:27. | |
zero, enjoy the rest of the evening among the lanterns. Tomorrow, I have | :27:28. | :27:38. | |
been foraging, and we will find out the dos and don'ts with an expert. | :27:39. | :27:42. | |
That's all from us. Good night. | :27:43. | :27:48. |
