:00:57. > :01:04.students studying here. There was a real international field to the day.
:01:04. > :01:09.There was also a party atmosphere. They had 10,000 Union Jack flags to
:01:09. > :01:13.head out and I think everyone was put to use. The Queen also enjoyed
:01:13. > :01:20.lunch here and we will go behind the scenes of the menu later. We
:01:20. > :01:26.will also report from Somerset, where the Queen started her day.

:01:38. > :01:41.Crowds gathered to greet Her Majesty the Queen and the Duke of
:01:41. > :01:49.Edinburgh as they arrived at Exeter University for the final part of a
:01:49. > :01:54.two day visit to celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. The Queen
:01:54. > :02:00.was retracing her steps and she had come to see the rebuilding of
:02:00. > :02:05.Exeter after the war time building -- bombing of the city. Amongst the
:02:05. > :02:11.crowd was a group of specially invited guests. They were all here
:02:11. > :02:21.for the 49 -- in 1949 visit. Absolutely Fabulous. It was a great
:02:21. > :02:22.
:02:22. > :02:26.to meet the Queen and it is just amazing. What did she say to you?
:02:26. > :02:31.explained to her that I climbed onto the roof to get a glimpse of
:02:31. > :02:41.her back then. You did not need to climb onto the river today? No, my
:02:41. > :02:42.
:02:42. > :02:47.goodness. -- onto the roof. Queen was wearing a matching lie
:02:47. > :02:54.lack hat and coat. She looked really lovely. This does not happen

:03:04. > :03:08.
:03:08. > :03:18.then went on to Exeter University Inside, there was a remarkable
:03:18. > :03:18.
:03:18. > :03:23.enthusiasm. The university's Chancellor reminded the Queen and
:03:23. > :03:31.Prince Philip that they were both there for the very foundation of
:03:31. > :03:35.the University in 1956. Lunch at the university was with 270 guests
:03:35. > :03:39.from across Devon and Cornwall, described as unsung heroes,
:03:40. > :03:49.nominated by friends and colleagues. But in one case, there was a
:03:49. > :03:56.teacher. I helped people and made them happy. The Queen said it was
:03:56. > :04:01.very kind of me to do that. here is a man who has seen it all
:04:01. > :04:04.before. Today has been brilliant because of the crowd and the energy.
:04:04. > :04:14.There are many overseas students who have come to see our Queen.
:04:14. > :04:14.
:04:14. > :04:24.That is brilliant. And from one of Posy providing data, it was a great
:04:24. > :04:30.day. She is quite pretty and she thanked me for the flowers. You see
:04:30. > :04:36.her on the television and you think, wow, and then you see her at close
:04:36. > :04:46.and you see what lovely skin she has. If the royal party left Exeter

:05:13. > :05:16.forum centre will bring together all of our facilities, as well as a
:05:16. > :05:21.student advice centre, which is a place that students can go for
:05:21. > :05:26.support for their studies or for financial advice. Whatever it might
:05:26. > :05:33.happen to be, the forum provide it in a beautiful surrounding. We are
:05:33. > :05:37.also surrounded by three beautiful landscape classes. With so minty --
:05:37. > :05:42.many international students, there was a real international flavour to
:05:42. > :05:47.the celebrations. How would you sum up the celebrations? It was
:05:47. > :05:53.wonderful, not only for the university, but for the region as
:05:53. > :05:57.well, to have the Queen here for her Diamond Jubilee, and to have
:05:57. > :06:04.students from all these different countries to come and see the Queen

:06:14. > :06:18.10,000 people on the campus. We had people come from the Exeter area
:06:18. > :06:23.and we had people come up from Plymouth as well. It was a fabulous
:06:23. > :06:27.day of celebration for everyone. The Met Office ordered up the
:06:27. > :06:32.sunshine. Everyone was waving their Union Jacks. You have, the weather
:06:32. > :06:39.could not have been better. Congratulations on such a good day.
:06:39. > :06:41.The Queen started her day and Somerset and enjoyed a book --

:07:20. > :07:24.As yesterday, the train took the strain, and the Queen and the
:07:24. > :07:29.Prince arrived by royal carriage. The first stop was a diamond

:16:02. > :16:08.Natalie. One of the highlights at Exeter University today was a
:16:08. > :16:12.special lunch for 250 guests from across the South West. People from
:16:12. > :16:18.all walks of life were invited, people who have walked to tidal --
:16:18. > :16:23.tirelessly for their communities. They dined in the Great Hall. It
:16:23. > :16:30.was beautifully decorated, as you might expect, and the tables were
:16:30. > :16:33.all named after local rivers. I also got an exclusive preview of
:16:34. > :16:37.the royal menu as it was being prepared. It is just after 9am,
:16:37. > :16:42.another four hours before the Queen sits down to lunch at Exeter

:16:56. > :17:01.Devon and Cornwall, and what better way than to put cream tea on the
:17:01. > :17:03.desert? We have deconstructed a cream tea and we are producing a
:17:03. > :17:08.vanilla pan a quarter with a strawberry compote and a strawberry
:17:08. > :17:16.ice-cream, and a strawberry crumble with scorn toppings. It should be
:17:16. > :17:19.good. I saw a ruler being used earlier to measure precisely the
:17:19. > :17:24.ingredients on the plate. Yes, we're being very precise with what

:17:35. > :17:39.of lunch today. How did it goal in the end?
:17:39. > :17:42.It went tremendously well, we have a fantastic team of chefs from
:17:42. > :17:46.across the university and it went very well.
:17:46. > :17:49.I was struck by how come everyone was in the kitchens this morning.
:17:49. > :17:53.How did it goal in the run-up to lunch?
:17:53. > :17:59.We were very organised beforehand and calm. Obviously there were a
:17:59. > :18:03.few nerves, but as it got to once the actual lunch there was and
:18:03. > :18:07.there were no fewer delays, it got a little more nerve-racking. But we
:18:07. > :18:11.were on the ball. You were in charge of the main
:18:11. > :18:19.cause, reminders of what that was. We had a rack of lamb with sweet

:18:29. > :18:35.What about the royal couple afterwards? What did they say?
:18:35. > :18:41.The Queen said it was an absolutely splendid meal and the Duke of
:18:41. > :18:47.Edinburgh said he could not believe we were three head chefs. I
:18:47. > :18:51.explained we were from different areas but we pulled together.
:18:51. > :18:53.The Queen got here slightly later than schedule, what impact did that
:18:53. > :18:57.have on your tight schedule in the kitchen today?
:18:57. > :19:03.It is like when you are kicking at home, you have a certain time when
:19:03. > :19:06.the alarm has to go in, that was going up and down. We got the time
:19:06. > :19:11.rain -- time right at the end and the meal would be to flee.
:19:11. > :19:15.As a chef, what has it meant to you to walk on such a prestigious meal?
:19:15. > :19:17.It is the pinnacle of my career. To cook for the Queen is a wonderful
:19:17. > :19:20.and it is something I will always remember.
:19:20. > :19:25.A sense of relief now, I would imagine?
:19:25. > :19:31.Very much so. But we have been building up to this for such a long
:19:31. > :19:35.time, now that is done it is back to the day job tomorrow.
:19:35. > :19:39.Thank you all three of you for joining us. This is not the first
:19:39. > :19:44.time the Queen has been to Exeter University, or Exeter itself. She

:23:06. > :23:11.of the UK. An area of low pressure developing a weather front that
:23:11. > :23:16.will bring patchy rain, later becoming more extensive with some
:23:16. > :23:19.heavy bursts across the north of Devon and in the Bristol Channel.
:23:19. > :23:24.By midday tomorrow it is still there, giving some outbreaks of
:23:24. > :23:28.rain, but it peters out through the afternoon and into the evening. One
:23:28. > :23:34.Friday we are between it systems, so there may be some bright this
:23:34. > :23:39.but a little cooler as we seek colder air from the north-east.
:23:39. > :23:45.There are already brighter colours developing across parts of Holland
:23:45. > :23:49.and into Belgium, and that is coming our way later tonight. There
:23:49. > :23:52.is a lot of fine weather for the first half of the night. This was
:23:52. > :23:57.earlier today endeavour nowhere we had some fine weather, lovely
:23:57. > :24:02.sunshine, light winds, and for many of us a real taste of summer with
:24:02. > :24:05.those temperatures. There has been a bit of a breeze coming off the
:24:05. > :24:09.cold sea, so a few people struggling to get out of the breeze
:24:09. > :24:17.and get a bit of children. Blue-sky for most of us after that recent
:24:17. > :24:22.rain has been very welcome indeed. Although we have clear skies now,
:24:22. > :24:27.all ready to the east the cloud is developing and it will come this
:24:27. > :24:31.way overnight. Initially some light rain, but it becomes more expensive,
:24:31. > :24:34.reaching the far west of Cornwall by the morning, and all of us I
:24:34. > :24:39.think will have some splashes of rain by the end of the night. The
:24:39. > :24:46.heaviest reserved for the north of Devon and parts of North Somerset
:24:46. > :24:52.and into the Bristol Channel. Overnight temperatures, nine or ten
:24:52. > :24:55.Celsius for most of us. Tomorrow, the patchy rain will remain with us
:24:55. > :25:01.along the Somerset coast and North Devon, but for the rest it will
:25:01. > :25:07.brighten up. We do keep a lot of cloud for much of the day, but some
:25:07. > :25:11.holes developing in that cloud in the South West of Cornwall. All the
:25:11. > :25:14.while, low cloud and sea mist at developing through the English
:25:14. > :25:19.Channel that may come onshore through evening and overnight
:25:19. > :25:25.tomorrow night. Temperatures up to 11 or 12 Celsius for most of us, a
:25:25. > :25:29.few places perhaps up to 14 Celsius. Colder than it has been today with
:25:29. > :25:34.all the cloud, and for the Isles of Scilly expect some barely rain,
:25:34. > :25:44.clearing, then the risk of showers for the rest of the day. Times of
:25:44. > :25:46.
:25:46. > :25:52.There is not a great deal of a breeze and not huge waves, but for
:25:52. > :26:02.the north and south coast there will be some waves at 2-3 feet,
:26:02. > :26:05.
:26:05. > :26:08.The forecast as we move to the weekend brings it more wet-weather
:26:08. > :26:15.on Saturday, and on Friday there will be some showers dotted around.
:26:15. > :26:20.Some dry weather, some mist and low cloud. Saturday easterly winds set
:26:20. > :26:23.in, and they will bring some arid pigs of rain off and on through
:26:23. > :26:27.Saturday. A drop in the temperatures through the weekend,
:26:27. > :26:31.ten Celsius likely to be the top figure. That is all from me, I will
:26:31. > :26:38.figure. That is all from me, I will hand you back to Justin in Exeter.
