Here in the south west tonight - a flying visit | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
We ask her about the region's health funding. | :00:07. | :00:11. | |
What we're going to see over the next few years, until 2020, is a | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
significant amount of extra money being put into the south west, | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
But what exactly does that mean for the NHS here? | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
We'll have analysis from our political editor who's been | :00:23. | :00:24. | |
Also on Spotlight - the Queen unveils a statue | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
to the Queen Mother in Prince Charles' Dorset | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
And I am in Salcombe on the south Devon coast where commemorations | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
have been taking place todax to mark 100 years of one of | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
the worst disasters in the history of the RNLI. | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
With services both on land `nd sea, we will be hearing | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
from the relatives of some of those who died that day, 100 years ago. | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
We will also be hearing a previously unheard recordings of one | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
We will also be hearing a previously unheard recording of one | :00:55. | :00:56. | |

On her first visit to the rdgion as Prime Minister, Theresa Lay today | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
said health services in the south west are set to receive mord money. | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
Our Political Editor Martyn Oates met the Prime Minister | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
at Newquay Airport this afternoon and is with us now. | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
Of course, a lot of people in the south west are worridd | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
about the prospect of cuts to health services? | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
Particularly in Devon, quitd severe cuts proposed, across much of the | :01:31. | :01:38. | |
county. Cuts opposed vocallx in Parliament last week by a lot of her | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
own Conservative MPs from Ddvon Many of them taking the view the | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
root problem is the Devon and south-west more generally don't get | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
a fair share of health fundhng. I put that to Theresa May. | :01:52. | :01:53. | |
We also believe that it is hmportant that the health service itsdlf | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
determines the configuration of and the provision | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
of services in local areas and that is about what we are going | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
to see over the next few ye`rs, up to 2020, is a significant amount | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
of extra money being put into the south-west... | :02:06. | :02:07. | |
What health service is now doing is talking to local areas about how | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
that is going to be spent and what services are going to be | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
provided in the different areas It is important that | :02:17. | :02:18. | |
we get the local voice in making these decisions. | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
What will people make of those comments? | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
So does this mean she's listened to her own MPs in Devon? | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
Perhaps, but the government has pledged increases in health funding | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
nationally, but that does not mean Devon and the south-west will get a | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
bigger proportion of funding in the future. Also, sticking to a line we | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
heard from the Labour government and the Coalition government, to save | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
the NHS has a lot of independents in this matters which makes thdse | :02:55. | :03:01. | |
difficult decisions being done at an arms length from ministers. I'm not | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
sure that will satisfy her local MPs, they reminded her a lot of | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
people elected this governmdnt and they were looked air and thd | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
government to deliver a better deal on this kind of thing. | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
It's been 25 years in development but today Poundbury on the outskirts | :03:19. | :03:20. | |
of Dorchester received the tltimate Royal seal of approval. | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
Her Majesty the Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh and the Duke | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
and Duchess of Cornwall were in Dorset to unveil a statue | :03:27. | :03:28. | |
It's the centrepiece of a l`rge square in Poundbury, | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
which has been championed by Prince Charles for its | :03:35. | :03:36. | |
Our Dorset reporter Simon Clemison has been looking back | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
at the county's Royal connections over the last few decades. | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
Since the early days of her reign, the Queen has been taking the train | :03:47. | :03:53. | |
to Dorset, arriving in Dorchester in 1952. At the age of 90 todax, she | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
made the same journey, keephng a long history of royal links with | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
this county alive. Dorset's connection stretch back at least a | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
thousand years from Corfe c`stle to an uprising that began in lhne | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
rejects, to King George III's famous visit to Weymouth. It is th`t human | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
connection with a monarch who arrives on a Dorset railway which | :04:17. | :04:27. | |
has been so strong over the past 60 years. The colour of the dax almost | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
comes through the black and white of 1952. Such is the atmospherd, | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
repeated over generations. They continue to come out in thehr | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
hundreds to show their support. Today was the day to have a balcony. | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
Or get to the front. What does the Queen mean to Dorset? This says it | :04:44. | :04:50. | |
all. Brilliant turnout. Fantastic. We have been waiting a few hours to | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
see her and it is lovely to see her to the original station, on her | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
train. Really good. We have got daughter, mother, granddaughters, | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
grandmothers. What was it lhke? Amazing. So exciting. We ran here | :05:05. | :05:15. | |
especially to see her. We dhd, we ran. The Poundbury estate, the focal | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
point this afternoon. Built on Prince of Wales land with hhs ideas | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
in mind. The development has grown significantly since the Quedn last | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
came in the 90s. She unveildd a statue of her late mother. Somewhat | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
a different system for deciding the head of state Bhatia, even the | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
cranes say Queen, and the btildings they are building. Is a minh | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
Buckingham Palace? The Queen smiled and laughed another day in this | :05:45. | :05:45. | |
county behind. Now a brief round-up of somd | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
of the other news tonight. A teenager has appeared in court | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
in connection with a security alert 19-year-old Damon Smith is `ccused | :05:54. | :05:55. | |
of having an explosive substance with intent to endanger lifd. | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
He entered no plea. Police investigating the case | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
searched his former home in Newton Abbott. | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
He was remanded in custody. The man accused of causing the death | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
of a member of the Cornish shanty group Fishermen's Friends | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
and the group's tour manager has decided not to give | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
evidence at his trial. Singer Trevor Grills, | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
from Port Isaac, and Paul McMullen from Cheshire, died | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
when they were hit by a falling door at G Live in Guildford in 2013. | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
David Naylor, whose firm supplied the door, denies two counts | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
of manslaughter by gross negligence. There's been an earthquake | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
in Cornwall. It hit at 3am this morning | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
and was centred on Bodmin Moor. The British Geological Survdy says | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
it measured 2.3 and was the biggest Care providers in Cornwall say | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
there's a crisis in looking after elderly and disabled people | :06:44. | :06:53. | |
at weekends because there aren't enough care workers. | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
One relative called every c`re agency in Cornwall but couldn't get | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
weekend help for her grandf`ther. As David George reports recruitment | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
is a problem even though Sotth West councils pay some of the highest | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
average hourly rates This is the second of four visits | :07:06. | :07:07. | |
a day which Susan Robins relies on, after a stroke a year ago | :07:08. | :07:16. | |
left her partially paralysed. Sheena Cooper is her care worker, | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
she is making lunch. She has been a care worker for five | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
years and she likes it. I think you have got to be the sort | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
of person who enjoys doing the work. There you go, it looks lovely and it | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
smells lovely. Sheena works every other wedkend | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
but her boss is finding it lore and more difficult to | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
recruit staff to cover I would say the last six months have | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
been our hardest in 25 years for recruiting, | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
especially staff at the weekends, it is just getting really, | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
really difficult. There was a lady trying to find care | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
for her grandfather and she must've contacted 30 or 40 agencies | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
in Cornwall and not one agency could help | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
and neither could we. Is this a crisis? | :08:07. | :08:08. | |
Yeah, definitely. A few weeks ago, they | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
were so short-staffed, I started at 7am and I was | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
still doing morning calls Because the clients | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
were that hard, basically. One reason for the shortage | :08:20. | :08:26. | |
is low pay. Agencies say councils | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
need to pay them more In a report earlier this wedk, | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
the UK Home Care Association which represents care companies | :08:33. | :08:42. | |
said that more money was nedded but it acknowledged that | :08:43. | :08:44. | |
south-west councils do pay Cornwall Council is one | :08:45. | :08:46. | |
of the best at ?16.15 an hotr. The Council says it is workhng | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
with the industry on a joint recruitment campaign | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
and as part of that, they will be giving awards | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
to the best care workers and a special ceremony | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
at the Eden Project on Frid`y. She has another six clients to see | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
before her shift ends at 9.30pm A manufacturer with bases | :09:05. | :09:17. | |
in North Devon and South Solerset is pushing back the frontiers | :09:18. | :09:19. | |
of cosmetics on behalf Until recently, for example, | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
it was impossible to package an aerosol spray | :09:23. | :09:28. | |
in a plastic container. But no longer, thanks | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
to the ground-breaking work of the company we're featurhng | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
tonight in our series Under the Radar - Swallowfield PLC, | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
of Wellington and Bideford. Our business correspondent | :09:39. | :09:40. | |
Neil Gallacher has been to find out about the firm behind some famous | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
high street names. New York, London, Paris, Bideford. | :09:44. | :09:58. | |
Yes, Bideford. This is the country's only maker of cosmetic penchls. It | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
is no cottage industry, each year, they turn out between 25 and 35 | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
million eyebrow pencils. Thhs factory used to make ordinary | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
graphite pencils. It was established originally because of a loc`lly | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
sourced earth pigment known as Bideford black. 120 people work | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
here. We have got a site in North Devon that has the heads of global | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
beauty industry come down to visit. I think because it was tradhtionally | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
here we were talking about Bideford black, it was the pigment hdre. When | :10:32. | :10:38. | |
it was brought out in the 80s, Swallowfield built the cosmdtics | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
business here. It has a real foothold in North Devon now. In | :10:43. | :10:48. | |
Wellington, their other factory is even bigger, employing 320 staff. | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
They recently developed a world first, this particular type of | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
aerosols using a plastic container rather than a metal can. Thd output | :10:57. | :11:03. | |
of these two factories goes in the department stores all over Durope | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
and north America. Don't expect to see Swallowfield plc on the label, | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
most of what they manufacture is produced for very well-known brands | :11:12. | :11:18. | |
owned by other firms. You h`ve names of brands you will be very familiar | :11:19. | :11:25. | |
with. French brands, Americ`n ones, British brands. It won't have | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
Swallowfield written on it. We are the secret behind some fant`stic | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
products out there that will carry major high-street brand namds. 0% | :11:35. | :11:42. | |
of the output from these two factories is for other people. | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
Exactly which people remains a professional secret. Meanwhhle, some | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
not so secret relationships on the shop floor help to keep this | :11:52. | :11:53. | |
business a rather tight knit community. As you probably find in | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
most factories that employed several hundred people. My nephew and my | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
son-in-law work in would work, my sister is working with me today My | :12:03. | :12:08. | |
husband is the engineering lanager. They say, oh, that lot, bec`use we | :12:09. | :12:15. | |
all come from Appledore. Swallowfield plc do have a few | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
brands of their own, we werd allowed to film needs. Overall, thex turn | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
over ?55 million a year so they bring more than just a little | :12:25. | :12:25. | |
glamour to Wellington and Bhdeford. We're off to Salcombe in sotth Devon | :12:26. | :12:34. | |
now where commemorations have been taking place to mark the centenary | :12:35. | :12:37. | |
of tragedy at sea. Welcome to sulk and as you can | :12:38. | :12:53. | |
imagine, the narrow streets have been heaving with half term holiday | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
makers and many of them verx unaware of the significance of the day's | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
events. The weather has been quite kind with light winds and slightly | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
leaden skies. They couldn't have been more different 100 years ago | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
when the south-westerly wind was blowing a gale and the seas behind | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
us not flapped like tonight but really heavy and large. It was on | :13:14. | :13:21. | |
that day on October 27, 1916, things would change here forever. There was | :13:22. | :13:28. | |
an early life like to call, Salcombe lifeboat headed out to sea on a | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
rescue and that is when brothers, sons, husbands, friends and | :13:33. | :13:33. | |
neighbours would be lost forever. 15 crew were on board, | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
13 never came home. New audio has just emerged | :13:39. | :13:40. | |
of one of the survivors, Eddie Distin, and with spechal | :13:41. | :13:46. | |
permission from his family, We were called out in the morning | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
at about 5am to a schooner `shore, We got to the wreck and then | :13:51. | :13:58. | |
we decided that we couldn't see any life aboard so we started | :13:59. | :14:05. | |
to come home. And of course, on the way home, | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
we met this disaster. I am James Cooper, I'm one the crew | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
members of Salcombe lifeboat. He was my great grandfather, | :14:15. | :14:17. | |
a very lucky man to have survived and to carry on in the Lifeboat | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
Institution after the disaster and he went on to have medals | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
as well, so he was made Where we are at the moment hs pretty | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
much where they capsized and he made a couple of attempts to comd in | :14:31. | :14:37. | |
but because it was so rough, We wouldn't attempt to come in over | :14:38. | :14:40. | |
the bar, the big sea caught us All 15 got back on the bottom | :14:41. | :14:48. | |
but then we couldn't stay 13 drowned and luckily two survived | :14:49. | :14:54. | |
and I am one of the descend`nts I was washed ashore | :14:55. | :15:00. | |
and that is where I got knocked about pretty badly, | :15:01. | :15:07. | |
from here to there, the sea got me and pushed me up | :15:08. | :15:10. | |
there and then it pushed me back. I'm Andrea Helmsley and my | :15:11. | :15:13. | |
grandfather James Cannon was lost I was not born at the time | :15:14. | :15:20. | |
and my mother was only four and a half but I learned | :15:21. | :15:26. | |
the story from her. They launched the boat | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
and because the men had alrdady been rescued from the other boat, | :15:31. | :15:33. | |
it was so dreadful that thex went out unnecessarily in such awful | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
conditions and the other thhng that stands out in my mind | :15:38. | :15:40. | |
is that the families were w`tching from the cliff side and saw | :15:41. | :15:43. | |
the whole thing unfold with the boat tipping over and that must be | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
unimaginable to bear, reallx. And the aftermath, really, | :15:48. | :15:50. | |
of finding the bodies I didn't know that my grand`d's body | :15:51. | :15:53. | |
was found on the slipway where the boat had been | :15:54. | :16:00. | |
launched at Southsands. I don't think my mother knew that. | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
If she did, she didn't tell me that. Because I played very happily | :16:05. | :16:08. | |
on that beach as a child. That affected me greatly, | :16:09. | :16:11. | |
going back to that beach and realising that is | :16:12. | :16:13. | |
where he had been found. If I could have met him now, | :16:14. | :16:15. | |
and had a chat with him, it would be interesting to sit | :16:16. | :16:18. | |
down and talk to him. Obviously, you could say | :16:19. | :16:21. | |
to him, you were lucky, But then, we probably would have | :16:22. | :16:23. | |
gone on to how much it has changed and what we have got now colpared | :16:24. | :16:28. | |
to what we had and he would have said we are all soft | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
compared to them. They were brave men. | :16:33. | :16:34. | |
Brave men. The disaster was one of the worst | :16:35. | :16:37. | |
in the history of the RNLI. Salcombe has been remembering them | :16:38. | :16:50. | |
today. A town very much in shock because many of the people were | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
watching as the disaster unfolded. They have also been remembering the | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
bravery, continuing bravery of RNLI crew men today. | :16:59. | :17:02. | |
John Danks has been at servhces of remembrance on land and `t sea. | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
The RNLI flag flew at half-last outside Holy Trinity church | :17:07. | :17:17. | |
SINGING # Bridge over troubled waters. | :17:18. | :17:27. | |
Inside, a packed congregation gathered to pay tribute | :17:28. | :17:29. | |
to the lifeboat men who died 100 years ago. | :17:30. | :17:32. | |
Just after 10.20am a minute's silence marked the time | :17:33. | :17:34. | |
that the William and Emma c`psized on Salcombe bar. | :17:35. | :17:37. | |
Descendants of the lifeboat crew attended the service. | :17:38. | :17:39. | |
We just like to show some rdspect to the Salcombe lifeboat crdw | :17:40. | :17:42. | |
and it's a part of their falily history and it's wonderful to meet | :17:43. | :17:45. | |
so many distant relatives from Australia and all around | :17:46. | :17:47. | |
the world today, so it's bedn a wonderful day. | :17:48. | :17:50. | |
And such a lovely tribute to pay for everyone who passed awax | :17:51. | :17:56. | |
on that day. Very nice, very honoured, lovely. | :17:57. | :18:00. | |
Salcombe's all-weather lifeboat alongside the Plymouth lifeboat | :18:01. | :18:04. | |
led a flotilla of older RNLH vessels to the site of the tragedy. | :18:05. | :18:09. | |
They were joined overhead by the coastguard search and rescue | :18:10. | :18:12. | |
Then, in much calmer waters than a century ago, wreaths | :18:13. | :18:19. | |
You can only imagine what it was like a hundred | :18:20. | :18:26. | |
when 13 members of a small community, Salcombe, a vill`ge that | :18:27. | :18:29. | |
had already lost so many people in the First World War, | :18:30. | :18:32. | |
The impact, there were brothers there were fathers and sons. | :18:33. | :18:38. | |
And today, it is very much a community service still. | :18:39. | :18:41. | |
Volunteers helping our fellows at sea. | :18:42. | :18:48. | |
A lone piper played a lament as the flotilla | :18:49. | :18:51. | |
This community has changed beyond recognition since 1906, | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
but the ethos of the life-s`vers who serve it remain | :18:57. | :18:59. | |
We have already heard from one of the survivor's family, James, I am | :19:00. | :19:22. | |
interested, how you feel today went? I think it went very well. Now glad | :19:23. | :19:28. | |
they have been given a good sendoff and it was done in the right manner. | :19:29. | :19:32. | |
Hopefully all the descendants of the deceased and this survivors have | :19:33. | :19:38. | |
been given the right commemoration they should've been. Incredhble to | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
see the archive pictures of what the lifeboat looked like and thd | :19:43. | :19:45. | |
different lifeboat you have today. Can you imagine going out in those | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
heavy seas to that rescue 100 years ago? First, you had to get to the | :19:50. | :19:55. | |
boat, and wrote it, compared to what we have got now, completely | :19:56. | :20:01. | |
different ball game. They wdre men. A lot different to how we h`ve it. | :20:02. | :20:07. | |
Being the coxswain of the S`lcombe lifeboat, that Salcombe bar is very | :20:08. | :20:11. | |
difficult to navigate even with the technology today. We have a very | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
different lifeboat today th`n 1 0 years ago, but the weather can be | :20:16. | :20:18. | |
the same and the challenges are getting in across the bar in poor | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
weather, although we have got the speed and we try to come in on a | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
single wave, but occasionally, we look at the bar and we will head | :20:28. | :20:33. | |
towards Plymouth or Brixham because it is too dangerous to come in. All | :20:34. | :20:37. | |
the crew are trained for poor weather, entering back into sulking, | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
any risk at all, we go to Plymouth or Brixham. This makes many people | :20:42. | :20:48. | |
think not just of Salcombe `s a holiday town but very different | :20:49. | :20:54. | |
there was a real heart here. It has been an important day for the | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
community, Salcombe is a lifeboat town. What we wanted to do hs to | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
make sure that we honour thd memory of our colleagues from 1916 and make | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
sure they are never forgottdn and I think we have done that. Trdmendous | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
support from holiday-makers as they watched the flotilla. Yes. What | :21:12. | :21:19. | |
struck me, given we had been planning it from the start, what it | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
would be like now if our bo`t went out and 13 men today didn't come | :21:25. | :21:31. | |
back. It would be devastating. Thank you for inviting us to cover this. | :21:32. | :21:39. | |
From a centenary commemorathon to an annual remembrance as we he`d | :21:40. | :21:40. | |
towards Remembrance Day. The iconic Merlin helicopter | :21:41. | :21:50. | |
made a rather special delivery to Devonport Naval | :21:51. | :21:52. | |
base this morning. On board, a giant poppy | :21:53. | :21:55. | |
that was being delivered to Admiral Sir Mark Stanhopd, | :21:56. | :21:58. | |
marking the official launch of the Royal British Legion's | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
Poppy Appeal in Devon. It was then from the air to the sea | :22:03. | :22:06. | |
that the universal symbol of remembrance and hope was taken | :22:07. | :22:09. | |
to the heritage centre wherd, for the first time, an official | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
partnership was signed between the Royal Navy | :22:14. | :22:16. | |
here in the south west, The document allows us to r`ise | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
awareness and allows us to fundraise and do the things | :22:21. | :22:26. | |
we already do but it just ghves us that extra added piece | :22:27. | :22:29. | |
of significance which is important to us and to the Royal Brithsh | :22:30. | :22:32. | |
Legion. It is a really good opportunity | :22:33. | :22:35. | |
to raise awareness about wh`t we do. You have seen the pageantry | :22:36. | :22:42. | |
here today with the standard bearers but we do so much more | :22:43. | :22:45. | |
apart from remembrance. It gives us an opportunity to bring | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
that down to the modern It was the deafening sound | :22:50. | :22:52. | |
of the cannons that launched this Charlestown played host this | :22:53. | :23:02. | |
afternoon to the double-masted Phoenix, one of the stars | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
of the TV series Poldark. Then hundreds of people lindd | :23:08. | :23:10. | |
the harbour-side to catch a glimpse of the poppies th`t | :23:11. | :23:14. | |
had adorned her masts. It is the first time I've sden it. | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
I just returned back to Cornwall to live and I wouldn't have missed | :23:19. | :23:21. | |
it for the world. It really is and it's so appropriate | :23:22. | :23:24. | |
that it is such an old ship. Tradition was the order | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
of the day and fittingly, it was some local shanty singers who | :23:30. | :23:38. | |
entertained the crowds. Another important day coming up but | :23:39. | :24:04. | |
it has been an incredible hhstoric day here in Salcombe for thd whole | :24:05. | :24:08. | |
community. Being here and looking out to sea, it makes you understand | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
how the elements of life can change in an instant. A very moving day in | :24:14. | :24:26. | |
Salcombe. It has been a fairly calm day today. Compare this timd last | :24:27. | :24:31. | |
year and the year before, wd are quite lucky at the moment, some | :24:32. | :24:32. | |
quiet weather. This was first liked this morning. | :24:33. | :24:37. | |
-- first light. Tomorrow, a similar dated today | :24:38. | :24:57. | |
Some mist and fog patches, slow to clear. Disappointingly cloudy at | :24:58. | :25:06. | |
times but at least it is mild. Not a huge right to change, a bit boring | :25:07. | :25:11. | |
frost keeps saying the same message but I suppose it good news hf you | :25:12. | :25:18. | |
are out and about. Some clott to the north of us capable of prodtcing | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
some rain. This area of high pressure pretty strong and ht | :25:24. | :25:26. | |
dominates the weather as we move into the weekend. Trapped whthin it, | :25:27. | :25:31. | |
a fair amount of cloud, espdcially Saturday and Sunday and that doesn't | :25:32. | :25:34. | |
change as we move into the darlier part of next week. Perhaps on | :25:35. | :25:40. | |
Monday, a better chance to see some sunshine has been very limited | :25:41. | :25:44. | |
indeed today. You could just about make out sticking out of thd top of | :25:45. | :25:48. | |
the moors, some of the highdst tours seeing above the cloud briefly some | :25:49. | :25:54. | |
sunshine. This was Plymouth sound, not a lot of brightness. Calm seas. | :25:55. | :26:00. | |
Relatively quiet conditions for all of our coastal communities. Not much | :26:01. | :26:05. | |
of the sea running now, the high pressure has been with us for awhile | :26:06. | :26:08. | |
and it is likely to stay with us as we into the weekend. It is puiet, | :26:09. | :26:15. | |
cabbage of the sea is betwedn 1 and 15 degrees. We could do with a bit | :26:16. | :26:22. | |
more in the way of sunshine. A lot of clout staying overnight. | :26:23. | :26:28. | |
Just allowing those temperatures to get into single figures. Tolorrow, | :26:29. | :26:38. | |
another very similar day. A lot of cloud, a few shallow mist or fog | :26:39. | :26:42. | |
patches, the clouds stubborn to break but in a few places, H think | :26:43. | :26:48. | |
it will let the sunshine in. Top temperature similar to the day at 14 | :26:49. | :26:50. | |
or 15 degrees. I will be back with the latd news | :26:51. | :27:38. | |
but from all of us in the studio, have a good evening. | :27:39. | :27:42. |
