A Diamond Jubilee. Welcome to Exeter. Thousands come out to

:00:20.:00:26.

celebrate the Queen and her 60 year reign. She has dedicated her whole

:00:26.:00:30.

life to this country and I think everyone should turn out to see her.

:00:30.:00:38.

The Jubilee does not happen every day. She is amazing. Good evening.

:00:39.:00:42.

Exeter University played host to the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh

:00:42.:00:47.

today at the end of a tour of the region. Thousands of people turned

:00:47.:00:53.

out to welcome the royal couple today, and with students from 130

:00:53.:00:57.

students studying here. There was a real international field to the day.

:00:57.:01:04.

There was also a party atmosphere. They had 10,000 Union Jack flags to

:01:04.:01:09.

head out and I think everyone was put to use. The Queen also enjoyed

:01:09.:01:13.

lunch here and we will go behind the scenes of the menu later. We

:01:13.:01:20.

will also report from Somerset, where the Queen started her day.

:01:20.:01:26.

But first we will speak to David, who has the story of at the

:01:26.:01:35.

beginning of the day. -- the story of the beginning of the day.

:01:35.:01:38.

Crowds gathered to greet Her Majesty the Queen and the Duke of

:01:38.:01:41.

Edinburgh as they arrived at Exeter University for the final part of a

:01:41.:01:49.

two day visit to celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. The Queen

:01:49.:01:54.

was retracing her steps and she had come to see the rebuilding of

:01:54.:02:00.

Exeter after the war time building -- bombing of the city. Amongst the

:02:00.:02:05.

crowd was a group of specially invited guests. They were all here

:02:05.:02:11.

for the 49 -- in 1949 visit. Absolutely Fabulous. It was a great

:02:11.:02:21.
:02:21.:02:22.

to meet the Queen and it is just amazing. What did she say to you?

:02:22.:02:26.

explained to her that I climbed onto the roof to get a glimpse of

:02:26.:02:31.

her back then. You did not need to climb onto the river today? No, my

:02:31.:02:41.
:02:41.:02:42.

goodness. -- onto the roof. Queen was wearing a matching lie

:02:42.:02:47.

lack hat and coat. She looked really lovely. This does not happen

:02:47.:02:54.

every day. It is amazing. She is lovely. The Queen and Prince Philip

:02:54.:03:04.
:03:04.:03:08.

then went on to Exeter University Inside, there was a remarkable

:03:08.:03:18.
:03:18.:03:18.

enthusiasm. The university's Chancellor reminded the Queen and

:03:18.:03:23.

Prince Philip that they were both there for the very foundation of

:03:23.:03:31.

the University in 1956. Lunch at the university was with 270 guests

:03:31.:03:35.

from across Devon and Cornwall, described as unsung heroes,

:03:35.:03:39.

nominated by friends and colleagues. But in one case, there was a

:03:40.:03:49.

teacher. I helped people and made them happy. The Queen said it was

:03:49.:03:56.

very kind of me to do that. here is a man who has seen it all

:03:56.:04:01.

before. Today has been brilliant because of the crowd and the energy.

:04:01.:04:04.

There are many overseas students who have come to see our Queen.

:04:04.:04:14.
:04:14.:04:14.

That is brilliant. And from one of Posy providing data, it was a great

:04:14.:04:24.

day. She is quite pretty and she thanked me for the flowers. You see

:04:24.:04:30.

her on the television and you think, wow, and then you see her at close

:04:30.:04:36.

and you see what lovely skin she has. If the royal party left Exeter

:04:36.:04:46.
:04:46.:04:47.

at the end of this Jubilee tour. It has been a special day, and with

:04:47.:04:57.
:04:57.:05:06.

me now to reflect on the day is the Registrar of the university. This

:05:06.:05:13.

forum centre will bring together all of our facilities, as well as a

:05:13.:05:16.

student advice centre, which is a place that students can go for

:05:16.:05:21.

support for their studies or for financial advice. Whatever it might

:05:21.:05:26.

happen to be, the forum provide it in a beautiful surrounding. We are

:05:26.:05:33.

also surrounded by three beautiful landscape classes. With so minty --

:05:33.:05:37.

many international students, there was a real international flavour to

:05:37.:05:42.

the celebrations. How would you sum up the celebrations? It was

:05:42.:05:47.

wonderful, not only for the university, but for the region as

:05:47.:05:53.

well, to have the Queen here for her Diamond Jubilee, and to have

:05:53.:05:57.

students from all these different countries to come and see the Queen

:05:57.:06:04.

opened the Forum building. It was magical for the university.

:06:04.:06:09.

were sort of a hub for the South West celebration. We had about

:06:09.:06:14.

10,000 people on the campus. We had people come from the Exeter area

:06:14.:06:18.

and we had people come up from Plymouth as well. It was a fabulous

:06:18.:06:23.

day of celebration for everyone. The Met Office ordered up the

:06:23.:06:27.

sunshine. Everyone was waving their Union Jacks. You have, the weather

:06:27.:06:32.

could not have been better. Congratulations on such a good day.

:06:32.:06:39.

The Queen started her day and Somerset and enjoyed a book --

:06:39.:06:41.

Jubilee Country Fair and a celebration of local food. With

:06:41.:06:48.

more details, here is our Somerset reporter.

:06:48.:06:54.

They rehearsed a traditional royal welcome in a true Somerset style.

:06:54.:07:00.

The national anthem as you have probably never heard it before. On

:07:00.:07:05.

wet ground they laid out the grey carpet. For the Queen's first visit

:07:05.:07:12.

to Somerset for a decade, getting a good view was going to be important.

:07:12.:07:19.

As yesterday, the train took the strain, and the Queen and the

:07:20.:07:24.

Prince arrived by royal carriage. The first stop was a diamond

:07:24.:07:29.

Jubilee fair, and the first task was to meet two neo- police horses.

:07:29.:07:36.

One of them was a named -- two new police horses. One of them was a

:07:36.:07:44.

named Jubilee. They were very well behaved, so we were very pleased.

can see all of her! It was a magical an unexpected moment for a

:07:49.:07:53.

group of children who had no idea that they would be presented to the

:07:54.:07:58.

Queen when they arrived here. were waiting for a long time with

:07:58.:08:02.

our flowers and someone came over and said, would you like to go and

:08:02.:08:12.

presenter of flowers to her? And we did. Traditional crafts were

:08:12.:08:18.

showcased, as were high-technology industries. And there was one stock

:08:18.:08:26.

that had some family connections. Prince William, when he is flying

his helicopter, is wearing thin that have been crafted by our

company. -- is wearing things that have been crafted by our company.

:08:37.:08:42.

And hairy wears them tea when he has horse-riding, which is why he

:08:42.:08:51.

wins. -- and hairy wears them as well. Hundreds lined the streets.

:08:51.:08:58.

In the crowds, one former military wife who missed the opportunity to

:08:58.:09:08.
:09:08.:09:11.

see the Queen when she was in Kenya six decades ago. She and Prince

:09:11.:09:15.

Philip were supposed to come to a mass for lunch, but unfortunately,

:09:15.:09:20.

she had to fly home to be queen instead. That was a great

:09:20.:09:29.

disappointment. The warmest of welcomes, and after touring an

:09:29.:09:34.

exhibition of historic artefacts in the town hall, just time to give

:09:34.:09:40.

this woman an extra reason to remember her 100 birthday today.

:09:40.:09:50.
:09:50.:09:52.

The verdict on the Jubilee visit? The that is all from Exeter

:09:52.:09:55.

University for now, but if you want to know what the Queen had for

:09:55.:10:00.

lunch today, stay with us. We will be meeting the chefs who prepared

:10:00.:10:10.

her meal. But now the rest of the news.

:10:10.:10:13.

An inquest was told today that a patient admitted to hospital was

:10:13.:10:16.

never examined by a doctor and died on a trolley five hours later. The

:10:16.:10:19.

Royal Cornwall Hospital Trust has carried out an inquiry into Michael

:10:19.:10:25.

Poad's death and has now changed some procedures. Michael Poad was

:10:25.:10:28.

taken to hospital by ambulance after his wife found him lying on

:10:28.:10:33.

the bathroom floor complaining of agonising stomach and back pain.

:10:33.:10:39.

The ambulance crew which came to his house expected an aneurysm and

:10:39.:10:43.

gave him more thing. When he got to hospital, he was seen by this nurse,

:10:43.:10:49.

he said he was showing no signs of being ill, and classified him as a

:10:49.:10:54.

non urgent case. Several hours later he was given more morphine.

:10:54.:10:59.

Other members of staff had said it had been a busy night in the

:10:59.:11:03.

emergency department, and all their doctors had been occupied, dealing

:11:03.:11:07.

with -- and the doctors had been occupied dealing with other

:11:07.:11:14.

patients. The nurse on staff said he did not have time. Michael Poad

:11:14.:11:20.

was found dead at 8 o'clock am the next morning. A post-mortem

:11:20.:11:30.
:11:30.:11:31.

examination said that he died from a -- and aneurysm of the aorta.

A company says it expects to be producing electricity for the

:11:49.:11:52.

national grid from the sea off North Devon within two years. The

multi-million pound development multi-million pound development

near Lynmouth to take advantage of the huge tidal range in the Bristol

:11:57.:11:59.

Channel. Our Environment Correspondent, Adrian Campbell,

:11:59.:12:05.

reports. This is our first glimpse of the

:12:05.:12:13.

tide of technology that could be working of the North Devon coast by

:12:13.:12:17.

2014 if the company's plans run smoothly. It says it has already

:12:17.:12:21.

raised millions of pounds to build a device similar to but larger than

:12:21.:12:27.

this one. Then, the plan is to float it to a state three

:12:27.:12:32.

kilometres of Lynmouth wedded could be attached to the National Grid.

:12:32.:12:38.

We could implement these step by step across all the estuary, and by

:12:38.:12:42.

doing that remove all environmental impact and generate a lot of power.

:12:42.:12:48.

Tied will power is not a new idea. Ten years ago another company

:12:48.:12:53.

investigated tidal power using these propeller like devices. In

of the blade, and by that we can control the image of left and the

:13:24.:13:27.

The developers will still have to go through the full planning

:13:27.:13:31.

process. For the discussions we have had today with North Devon

:13:31.:13:36.

Council, for instance, and with Exmoor National Park, which is a

:13:36.:13:38.

planning authority for the headland, has been very positive.

:13:38.:13:46.

They see this as a means of generating sustainable energy and

:13:46.:13:50.

economic benefits in north Devon. Tidal power remains an untapped

:13:51.:13:55.

resource in this country, but some experts estimate it could provide

:13:55.:14:01.

around 10% of our energy. Levels in the region's natural

:14:01.:14:04.

underground water stores have risen very slightly following the recent

:14:04.:14:05.

downpours. But the Environment Agency says

:14:05.:14:09.

it's not enough to make up for the long-term drought. A special Inside

:14:09.:14:12.

Out programme on BBC One tonight looks at what could happen in the

:14:12.:14:15.

south west if we have a third dry winter. Presenter Sam Smith joins

:14:15.:14:18.

me now. There are still concerns, despite

:14:18.:14:22.

that wet April we just had? Yes, especially in the east of the

:14:22.:14:27.

region, which relies heavily on aquifers for the public water

:14:27.:14:32.

supply and to feed rivers. We need months of heavy rain to replenish

:14:32.:14:38.

those. A good barometer our fish farms, because they relied on

:14:38.:14:42.

aquifer fed streams. I went to visit one run by Robert Smith in

:14:42.:14:46.

Dorset. Robert Stocks rivers and fishing

:14:46.:14:49.

leagues all over the South of England. He starts breeding two

:14:49.:14:55.

ears in advance, and now he has thousands of fish ready to go. But

:14:55.:14:59.

orders are drying up. We now have so many fish on the

:14:59.:15:04.

farm ready to go to our clients, but the clients have been for

:15:04.:15:08.

warned not to stop the Rovers because of the drought situation.

:15:08.:15:15.

We cannot sell our product. We have to hold that the fish here.

:15:15.:15:19.

Robert tells me it could be eight weeks before the rain we have had

:15:19.:15:24.

gets through the soil back into the aquifer.

:15:24.:15:28.

We have been to Spain to see how they cope with traffic, obviously

:15:28.:15:32.

more serious problems than we have here, and we have asked BBC weather

:15:32.:15:36.

experts for their take on it. He has given us a five-day weather

:15:37.:15:40.

forecast for farmers, if you are running a water company, or whether

:15:40.:15:44.

it be just want to get out your flip-flops or wellingtons during

:15:44.:15:49.

the holidays. That is on Inside Out tonight.

:15:49.:15:53.

That is all from us here in the studio now come I will say goodbye

:15:53.:15:58.

and hang you back to Justin in Exeter. Thank you very much indeed,

:15:58.:16:02.

Natalie. One of the highlights at Exeter University today was a

:16:02.:16:08.

special lunch for 250 guests from across the South West. People from

:16:08.:16:12.

all walks of life were invited, people who have walked to tidal --

:16:12.:16:18.

tirelessly for their communities. They dined in the Great Hall. It

:16:18.:16:23.

was beautifully decorated, as you might expect, and the tables were

:16:23.:16:30.

all named after local rivers. I also got an exclusive preview of

:16:30.:16:33.

the royal menu as it was being prepared. It is just after 9am,

:16:34.:16:37.

another four hours before the Queen sits down to lunch at Exeter

:16:37.:16:42.

University, but the kitchens are already a hive of activity. Desert

:16:42.:16:46.

is under way at -- is under way, Richard is in charge. What is on

:16:46.:16:50.

the menu? The brief was to celebrate the local produce of

:16:50.:16:56.

Devon and Cornwall, and what better way than to put cream tea on the

:16:56.:17:01.

desert? We have deconstructed a cream tea and we are producing a

:17:01.:17:03.

vanilla pan a quarter with a strawberry compote and a strawberry

:17:03.:17:08.

ice-cream, and a strawberry crumble with scorn toppings. It should be

:17:08.:17:16.

good. I saw a ruler being used earlier to measure precisely the

:17:16.:17:19.

ingredients on the plate. Yes, we're being very precise with what

:17:19.:17:24.

we are doing, we have a highly skilled set of Sheth and we will

:17:24.:17:28.

deliver an outstanding meal. -- set of Sheth.

:17:28.:17:32.

Richard is with me along with the other two chefs who were in charge

:17:32.:17:35.

of lunch today. How did it goal in the end?

:17:35.:17:39.

It went tremendously well, we have a fantastic team of chefs from

:17:39.:17:42.

across the university and it went very well.

:17:42.:17:46.

I was struck by how come everyone was in the kitchens this morning.

:17:46.:17:49.

How did it goal in the run-up to lunch?

:17:49.:17:53.

We were very organised beforehand and calm. Obviously there were a

:17:53.:17:59.

few nerves, but as it got to once the actual lunch there was and

:17:59.:18:03.

there were no fewer delays, it got a little more nerve-racking. But we

:18:03.:18:07.

were on the ball. You were in charge of the main

:18:07.:18:11.

cause, reminders of what that was. We had a rack of lamb with sweet

:18:11.:18:19.

potato for Nong -- fondant, pea broth. The there was a real

:18:19.:18:25.

emphasis on local produce commit he has compiled all local.

:18:25.:18:29.

What about the royal couple afterwards? What did they say?

:18:29.:18:35.

The Queen said it was an absolutely splendid meal and the Duke of

:18:35.:18:41.

Edinburgh said he could not believe we were three head chefs. I

:18:41.:18:47.

explained we were from different areas but we pulled together.

:18:47.:18:51.

The Queen got here slightly later than schedule, what impact did that

:18:51.:18:53.

have on your tight schedule in the kitchen today?

:18:53.:18:57.

It is like when you are kicking at home, you have a certain time when

:18:57.:19:03.

the alarm has to go in, that was going up and down. We got the time

:19:03.:19:06.

rain -- time right at the end and the meal would be to flee.

:19:06.:19:11.

As a chef, what has it meant to you to walk on such a prestigious meal?

:19:11.:19:15.

It is the pinnacle of my career. To cook for the Queen is a wonderful

:19:15.:19:17.

and it is something I will always remember.

:19:17.:19:20.

A sense of relief now, I would imagine?

:19:20.:19:25.

Very much so. But we have been building up to this for such a long

:19:25.:19:31.

time, now that is done it is back to the day job tomorrow.

:19:31.:19:35.

Thank you all three of you for joining us. This is not the first

:19:35.:19:39.

time the Queen has been to Exeter University, or Exeter itself. She

:19:39.:19:44.

has been here numerous times during rain, and in the years before that,

Second World War. Future generations may see where

:20:10.:20:18.

the rebuilding of Exeter began. In 1956, now as monarch, Queen

:20:18.:20:22.

Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh came to Exeter University. It

:20:22.:20:26.

received its charter only a year previously. Her Majesty was there

:20:26.:20:30.

to unveil the foundation stone of the Queen's building. Smartly-

:20:31.:20:34.

dressed students looked on, eager to catch a glimpse of the Queen.

:20:34.:20:40.

But what is it like to meet her? Barry Watts for guide dogs for the

Blind in Exeter. The Queen visited their former premises in 1998.

:20:47.:20:52.

I was very lucky that the Queen spoke to me and she asked me if the

:20:52.:20:58.

dog was useful to me. To me that was quite an offer. -- and honour.

:20:58.:21:01.

She has a unique way of making people feel very special, and you

:21:01.:21:04.

could be in a crowd of people and teenage you feel you are the only

:21:04.:21:09.

one she is interested in. That is a really good feeling.

:21:09.:21:13.

Her Majesty has just arrived here in front of Exeter Cathedral...

:21:13.:21:17.

Howard Golden Jubilee in 2002 brought great excitement to the

:21:17.:21:19.

city and a golden opportunity for some.

:21:19.:21:24.

I remember the day being quite scary but quite exciting, knowing

we would perform for the Queen -- perform for the Queen.

Georgina pay the was just 16 at the time and one of a troupe of dancers

:21:34.:21:40.

performing for the Queen. We had to move the dance across

:21:40.:21:44.

because of where the Queen was about to sit. We did not want to

:21:44.:21:54.
:21:54.:21:58.

change our dance because the Queen We have always talked about it, not

:21:58.:22:05.

many can say they have danced in front of the Queen.

:22:05.:22:10.

It is, of course, also the 70th anniversary of the blitz of Exeter,

:22:10.:22:13.

and on Friday eight Spotlight will have a special report looking back

:22:13.:22:18.

at that. We will have more memories of the Queen's many visits to the

:22:18.:22:21.

:22:30.:22:32.

Aprils on a war record, you can imagine they were holding their

:22:32.:22:36.

breath for the weather today. Thankfully the Sun has been

:22:36.:22:38.

Thankfully the Sun has been training, but let's see what is in

:22:38.:22:42.

the forecast. Good evening. I think the Queen

:22:42.:22:46.

arranged the day very nicely. Temperatures in Exeter got to 18

:22:46.:22:51.

silty is today, very pleasant indeed. Sadly, it will not last.

:22:51.:22:55.

heavy bursts across the north of Devon and in the Bristol Channel.

By midday tomorrow it is still there, giving some outbreaks of

Friday we are between it systems, so there may be some bright this

There are already brighter colours developing across parts of Holland

earlier today endeavour nowhere we had some fine weather, lovely

and get a bit of children. Blue-sky for most of us after that recent

and into the Bristol Channel. Overnight temperatures, nine or ten

There is not a great deal of a breeze and not huge waves, but for

the north and south coast there will be some waves at 2-3 feet,

The forecast as we move to the weekend brings it more wet-weather
