Good evening. evening on t(e @BC Newq Ch!nndl

:00:09.:00:09.

The Princess Royal has been to Exeter as part of the city's

:00:10.:00:12.

Large crowds came out to watch as around 800 service men and women

:00:13.:00:18.

The band of Her Majesty's Royal Marines led

:00:19.:00:26.

the parade, which included larchers both young and old.

:00:27.:00:29.

Around 800 personnel represdnting the Navy, Army,

:00:30.:00:33.

and Royal Air Force were chdered on by the people of Exeter.

:00:34.:00:38.

Taking the salute was Her Royal Highness the Princess Royal.

:00:39.:00:42.

For many, this was more than just a day of ceremony.

:00:43.:00:45.

It is very important indeed, because as the Armed Forces dwindle

:00:46.:00:50.

in number, I think it does remind people that ultimately we all owe

:00:51.:00:53.

Therefore, we should keep supporting them.

:00:54.:00:56.

Exceptional. Very good.

:00:57.:01:00.

Very nice. I have never been in anything

:01:01.:01:04.

Cathedral Square provided an arena for the Princess Royal to

:01:05.:01:09.

This year marks the hundredth anniversary of World War I.

:01:10.:01:14.

It is also a special year for the Royal Marines.

:01:15.:01:18.

It is an extra special day for the Royal Marines, because not only is

:01:19.:01:21.

it our 350th birthday, but we are also dedicating the chapel today

:01:22.:01:24.

from the Royal Navy Chapel to the Royal Navy and Royal Marines Chapel.

:01:25.:01:27.

It is a good day for the corps as a whole, really.

:01:28.:01:30.

The Royal visit concluded whth a service at Exeter Cathedr`l.

:01:31.:01:34.

Meanwhile, the crowds outside provided a snapshot of how

:01:35.:01:39.

highly regarded the Armed Forces are here in the West Countrx.

:01:40.:01:41.

I'm pleased that the people have not deserted the

:01:42.:01:46.

city to the beaches and thex have stayed to support the services.

:01:47.:01:49.

A day of pride, celebration, and remembrance all under cloudless

:01:50.:01:56.

A rower from Cornwall was among four rescued by the US

:01:57.:02:08.

coastguard, after their boat began sinking in the Pacific.

:02:09.:02:11.

The three Britons and a New Zealander were taking p`rt

:02:12.:02:13.

in the Great Pacific Race from California to Hawaii

:02:14.:02:17.

Falmouth Coastguard picked tp a mayday from Team Pacific Rowers

:02:18.:02:20.

Among the crew was 24`year`old Sam Collins from Falmouth and a

:02:21.:02:25.

His girlfriend has told the BBC that he is shocked but safe.

:02:26.:02:33.

The emergency services are currently dealing with a serious accident

:02:34.:02:35.

The road is said to be blocked westbound between Victoria

:02:36.:02:40.

Motorists are asked to avoid the area if at all possible.

:02:41.:02:53.

Sailing now, and Devon's Nick Hutton and his crew have won

:02:54.:02:56.

The event, which follows a 50 mile route around the Hsle of

:02:57.:03:00.

Wight, is the largest race of its kind in the world ` with 1,600 boats

:03:01.:03:04.

Among them, this year, Sir Ben Ainslie. Hutton,

:03:05.:03:07.

from Kingswear, has recentlx been named as one of Ben Ainslie's crew

:03:08.:03:10.

It is nice to do it first in a foiling boat.

:03:11.:03:20.

It would have been nice if we could have done it, as we wanted to, all

:03:21.:03:23.

As you can tell, we have got enough wind now to keep us foiling.

:03:24.:03:28.

It would have been nice if we could have done that all thd way.

:03:29.:03:32.

And finally, hundreds of fahries gathered at Mount Edgcombe House

:03:33.:03:34.

They were attempting to bre`k the world record for the largest ever

:03:35.:03:38.

Rules stated that those takhng part must be wearing wings and a tutu,

:03:39.:03:44.

A lot of people have created their own tutus.

:03:45.:03:51.

We have had wing, tutu, and wand making workshops.

:03:52.:03:56.

It is really involved with creativity and people have

:03:57.:03:58.

So, I'm pretty impressed by the effort that everyone has made.

:03:59.:04:02.

Sadly though, on this occashon, it just wasn't enough.

:04:03.:04:04.

I am told they missed the rdcord by about 100 fairies!

:04:05.:04:09.

We have somewhere sunshine to come tomorrow. Tonight it is set to

:04:10.:04:31.

remain dry. Temperatures tonight, 11`14 Celsius. Any mist shotld

:04:32.:04:42.

quickly clear. In the afternoon a little more cloud inland and a bit

:04:43.:04:47.

more of a breeze inland. But it will be warm in the sunshine.

:04:48.:04:56.

Temperatures 22 Celsius. By Wednesday we will start to see some

:04:57.:04:59.

more cloud and the chance of a few showers.

:05:00.:05:00.

For the majority of the British Isles, today has wrought long spells

:05:01.:05:19.

of warm sunshine and it is the longest day. There is plenty more to

:05:20.:05:25.

come this evening, and yet more on the cards for tomorrow. For many of

:05:26.:05:29.

us, the changes between today and tomorrow are very slight. Northern

:05:30.:05:33.

Scotland has been an exception. Tonight, thick cloud is pushing in

:05:34.:05:39.

here again. Rain in the Highland and crossing into the Murray for by

:05:40.:05:41.

dawn. -- the Moret Firth. For northern Scotland, great

:05:42.:05:51.

prospects again on Sunday. If anything, some heavier and more

:05:52.:05:57.

persistent rain. For the south, though, plenty of sunshine. And once

:05:58.:06:03.

again across England and Wales, sparkling skies and as the sun comes

:06:04.:06:07.

up, temperatures will start to rise appropriately. For northern

:06:08.:06:11.

Scotland, the presence of the cloud and rain will mean temperatures are

:06:12.:06:13.

held back
