:00:32. > :00:41.It is our wedding anniversary on the day of the cup final. I've pretty
:00:42. > :00:43.much got away with this one. I don't much got away with this one. I don't
:00:44. > :00:53.know how but I did. Organisers of major events
:00:54. > :00:55.across the bank holiday weekend are warning that increased security
:00:56. > :00:59.checks will mean longer queues. It comes in the wake
:01:00. > :01:02.of Monday night's terror attack Spectators at the sold-out
:01:03. > :01:07.Ageas bowl for England's One Day International against South Africa
:01:08. > :01:12.and Reading's playoff against Huddersfield on Monday are warning
:01:13. > :01:14.fans to allow extra time It's a busy weekend of festivals
:01:15. > :01:24.and sporting events - and with the security threat level
:01:25. > :01:26.at critical there will be a noticeable
:01:27. > :01:29.security presence. Hampshire police today
:01:30. > :01:32.said people should expect to see That will include
:01:33. > :01:35.at the Ageas bowl tomorrow. It's sold out as England
:01:36. > :01:37.take on South Africa Organisers say spectators
:01:38. > :01:40.should allow plenty of time A similar message to the 20,000
:01:41. > :01:45.people a day who are expected at Southampton's
:01:46. > :01:48.Common People music festival. Organisers there say
:01:49. > :01:50.they have "total confidence" that they have
:01:51. > :01:53.the right procedures in place. And Reading football fans travelling
:01:54. > :01:56.to Wembley for the play-off final on Monday are being told to arrive
:01:57. > :02:00.at least an hour before kick off to make sure
:02:01. > :02:03.they'll get to their seat in time. The Met today confirmed
:02:04. > :02:05.they will have extra armed officers And on top of all this,
:02:06. > :02:13.it's bank holiday weekend, so there is already some
:02:14. > :02:15.public transport disruption? Yes, un-releated to this extra
:02:16. > :02:17.security there are engineering works on the trains which means all lines
:02:18. > :02:20.in the Portsmouth area will be closed all day
:02:21. > :02:23.throughout the Holiday weekend. That will impact some of
:02:24. > :02:26.the 30,000 people expected in Cosham for the Mutiny Festival
:02:27. > :02:29.this weekend, who'll have to use a limited
:02:30. > :02:31.bus replacement service. Electrification works
:02:32. > :02:33.on the Great Western line mean busses will replace trains
:02:34. > :02:35.between Reading and Swindon. The message for this weekend
:02:36. > :02:38.is leave extra time for big events There have been long queues
:02:39. > :02:41.and disruption for thousands of passengers at Gatwick airport
:02:42. > :02:44.in West Sussex this morning with some flights departing
:02:45. > :02:46.without luggage due to problems Long queues formed on one
:02:47. > :02:53.of the busiest days for people trying to get away for the bank

:02:57. > :03:00.had now been resolved. Building work - to develop the UK's

:03:12. > :03:13.and jobs to help ease the transition
:03:14. > :03:16.for veterans leaving the forces. 45 homes will be built
:03:17. > :03:20.to support former servicemen and women into independent living
:03:21. > :03:25.and to integrate in their community. I think it's the milestone
:03:26. > :03:28.of what's going to go on Hopefully, more and more of these
:03:29. > :03:33.centres are opened up around the country so people
:03:34. > :03:35.don't have to travel so far The British team hoping to win
:03:36. > :03:42.the America's Cup will have to wait another day before taking
:03:43. > :03:49.to the water. Ben Ainslie's Land Rover BAR,
:03:50. > :03:51.based in Portsmouth, was supposed to join four other

:04:09. > :04:14.is you are defined by your results. The key to success in
:04:15. > :04:17.the America's Cup is continually making small
:04:18. > :04:20.improvements and getting better and better as you go
:04:21. > :04:27.through the competition. Well, if Britain wins the south
:04:28. > :04:31.coast could be home to the next race in two years time and it's been
:04:32. > :04:33.estimated that hosting could give the region
:04:34. > :04:37.a boost of more than ?100m. Here's our Business
:04:38. > :04:39.Correspondent, Alastair Fee. Tens of thousands
:04:40. > :04:42.flocked to watch Sir Ben Ainslie as Portsmouth

:04:47. > :04:49.that proved what has been It will put the Solent
:04:50. > :04:57.on the world stage. This isn't just necessarily
:04:58. > :04:58.a water-based event, it is actually
:04:59. > :05:01.making sure that Portsmouth
:05:02. > :05:03.capitalises on this kind of event It's the ancilliary events
:05:04. > :05:06.to run alongside it Super yachts account for one
:05:07. > :05:13.of the biggest spends. 90 boats more than 25 metres
:05:14. > :05:16.in length visited the regattas We build on what we've got
:05:17. > :05:30.and we need to put in those facilities that will make
:05:31. > :05:32.those super yachts come to the UK and that we get
:05:33. > :05:35.that economic benefit. Spectators' spend
:05:36. > :05:36.would run into hundreds contributing to
:05:37. > :05:39.a quarter of the overall impact. For many,
:05:40. > :05:40.the financial rewards for the region
:05:41. > :05:43.would match the sporting triumph. It's going to be
:05:44. > :05:46.a tense weekend for Reading fans. They're one game away from promotion
:05:47. > :05:49.to the Premier league. The big game takes place on Monday
:05:50. > :05:52.at Wembley when Japp Stam's men Some loyal fans have travelled
:05:53. > :05:57.quite a journey for a chance Ben Moore has been to meet two men
:05:58. > :06:15.who've travelled continents A 19 hour flight for a 90 minute
:06:16. > :06:20.game. Mark Mouland and his son Dan have come all the way from perfect
:06:21. > :06:26.for the play-off final. Since Christmas we've been planning it,
:06:27. > :06:31.basically. If they win, how'd you think you are going to feel? I don't
:06:32. > :06:37.know if words can describe that. It's going to be absolutely
:06:38. > :06:44.unbelievable. There will be a lot of singing on the plane going back.
:06:45. > :06:48.Despite being down under, they have remained keen fans since emigrating
:06:49. > :06:54.a decade ago and their pilgrimage is a family affair. Brother Steve is
:06:55. > :06:58.coming as well, from Barcelona. It has got to be done. The play-off
:06:59. > :07:06.final, a great day out with the family. You are using this as a big
:07:07. > :07:11.family reunion? Football is bringing us together. It'll be good because
:07:12. > :07:16.my mum and dad are going as well. A big family outing. As foreign fans
:07:17. > :07:22.go through passport control to Wembley Way, some are making bigger
:07:23. > :07:26.sacrifices than others. It is our wedding anniversary as well on
:07:27. > :07:31.Monday. On the day of the cup final. I've pretty much got away with this
:07:32. > :07:34.one. I don't know how I did but I did. So wherever they are from, they
:07:35. > :07:39.are all part of the Royals family. Now time for a look
:07:40. > :07:52.at the weather with David Braine. Good afternoon. A lovely start of
:07:53. > :07:56.the day and the rest of the day is even hotter than yesterday. Many of
:07:57. > :08:02.our weather watchers have taken some great shots of what has been a
:08:03. > :08:07.fantastic summer 's day. We will continue to see that for the rest of
:08:08. > :08:16.the afternoon. Strong sunshine, UV levels at their highest. Up at
:08:17. > :08:23.eight. That is very much as high as they get. So enjoy but be careful in
:08:24. > :08:28.the sun. Overnight, a bit more cloud creeping in in the small hours. That
:08:29. > :08:37.is capable of producing a view showers, one of which could become
:08:38. > :08:44.heavy and thundery. The risk, first thing tomorrow of a heavy shower
:08:45. > :08:47.with thunder. If showers are torrential they could cause problems
:08:48. > :08:55.on the road. Stay tuned to local radio. The showers will creep away
:08:56. > :09:01.from others as the day goes on. They will probably disappear by
:09:02. > :09:06.lunchtime. We are left with sunny spells, another one day. A fair
:09:07. > :09:09.amount of mist and fog and 25 will be the top temperature. It gets
:09:10. > :09:16.cooler in the second half of the weekend and an increasing risk of
:09:17. > :09:19.some thundery showers. Typical for a bank holiday.
