of Australia. That's all from Hampden Park. Do

:00:00.:00:08.

This evening at Exeter Cathedral a special service remembered the

:00:09.:00:18.

Among the congregation were families of

:00:19.:00:23.

11,000 men and women died during the First World War. There are 2000 war

:00:24.:00:42.

memorials across the country. And it is an opportunity for a Devon if you

:00:43.:00:51.

like to remember, so that it becomes everybody's event, not just our

:00:52.:00:57.

own. We have to learn the lesson. We are not very successful and learning

:00:58.:01:01.

the lesson that war is devastating for people, for countries, and

:01:02.:01:04.

something we need to avoid in the future.

:01:05.:01:10.

Meanwhile, in Cornwall, memories of the men who went to war

:01:11.:01:13.

have been brought to life in a unique and powerful outdoor

:01:14.:01:15.

Recalling the fishermen, gardeners and men from Mevagissey

:01:16.:01:18.

and the surrounding areas, Wildworks Theatre Company told their

:01:19.:01:20.

stories in the dramatic settings of Heligan Gardens and the Harbour.

:01:21.:01:29.

Our Government has guaranteed naval protection of the North Sea and

:01:30.:01:33.

channel coasts from German aggression... What they have

:01:34.:01:42.

achieved is giving people some sort of idea of what it was like 100

:01:43.:01:50.

years ago, Mevagissey was full of anticipation of something awful, it

:01:51.:01:56.

was very sombre. The music was keeping people going. We were all

:01:57.:01:59.

waiting for something awful to happen.

:02:00.:02:08.

What we are hoping is to get a little bit closer to the humanity of

:02:09.:02:13.

these people. Sometimes in acts of remembrance we tend to have a

:02:14.:02:20.

uniform sense of men, a list of men all in uniform, they are all the

:02:21.:02:25.

same, we wanted to turn them into individuals.

:02:26.:02:39.

We do not learn the lessons of history. And we perhaps send young

:02:40.:02:47.

boys to similar situations 100 years following.

:02:48.:02:57.

A sweet young man, he loved gardening, wildlife...

:02:58.:03:01.

And we'll have full coverage of events to mark the anniversary

:03:02.:03:03.

on Spotlight tomorrow ` as well as special reports throughout this week

:03:04.:03:06.

In other news, a Devonport`based survey ship is helping to bring home

:03:07.:03:09.

Britons caught up in the increasing unrest in Libya.

:03:10.:03:12.

HMS Enterprise, which has been on operations

:03:13.:03:15.

in the Mediterranean, arrived in the capital Tripoli today.

:03:16.:03:18.

A number of British citizens have been transferred to the ship by boat

:03:19.:03:21.

And as the Commonwealth Games comes to an

:03:22.:03:29.

end, Tom Daley has been reflecting on his gold medal success.

:03:30.:03:32.

Last night he retained his individual diving title

:03:33.:03:35.

in fine style, destroying a field that included

:03:36.:03:38.

fellow Plymothian and rising star, 14`year`old Matthew Dixon.

:03:39.:03:40.

Daley was so far ahead that he barely needed to bother with

:03:41.:03:42.

There is always pressure on anything I do, and that kind of helps me five

:03:43.:04:02.

better. If there is no pressure, it is not a competition. `` it helps me

:04:03.:04:04.

dive better. The bright and breezy conditions of

:04:05.:04:17.

today are giving way to a pretty quiet night. We may just see a few

:04:18.:04:23.

showers. Generally though, I think clear spells and knows between 12

:04:24.:04:32.

and 14 Celsius. We have the risk of a few showers tomorrow, a scattering

:04:33.:04:36.

here and there, but still plenty of sunny spells coming through.

:04:37.:04:40.

Temperatures just creeping up into the low 20s. For the Channel

:04:41.:04:46.

Islands, a good chance of staying dry for the bulk of the day. We do

:04:47.:04:54.

see things turning more unsettled. The risk of some heavy, thundery

:04:55.:04:56.

showers. Have a good night.

:04:57.:04:58.

Goodbye. Good evening. Many of us had a

:04:59.:05:12.

decent second part of the weekend, particularly so for England and

:05:13.:05:17.

Wales, rather different from Scotland and Northern Ireland. We

:05:18.:05:21.

saw our whole rash of showers across Scotland and Northern Ireland, some

:05:22.:05:25.

thunder and lightning swirling around. There was a huge curl of

:05:26.:05:32.

cloud, indicative of an area of low pressure. That will work its way

:05:33.:05:40.

northwards, taking its the wind and rain with it. For England and Wales,

:05:41.:05:50.

may be a shower around the coast but rural spots make it a
