which one of you is which? ithink... you're not sure? no, i'm not, just a minute! we were in every daily paper and i do remember one- of the managers from vickers at the time said, "crikey, - "you wouldn't think that they'd launched a ship yesterday". i less about the ship, more about you? more about the twins i and his birthday, yeah. memories of the day have sadly outlasted hms sheffield, which was sunk during the falklands conflict. as for the twins, they'll never forget the duke and the fun few moments they shared. he was a very handsome man, wasn't he? oh, yes. he was dashing, wasn't he? especially when he had his uniform. i mean, who doesn't like a man in a uniform? they laugh judith moritz reporting there. and andrew marr will be here on bbc one
10:31 pm
at 9am tomorrow morning — with guests including sirjohn major and drjohn sentamu. but that's all from us, have a very good evening. let's get more now on the tribute paid by prince charles to his father, the duke of edinburgh. this evening, the prince made a statement from his home in highgrove in gloucestershire, in which he praised the duke for his "most remarkable service" to the queen and the country. our correspondentjon kay reports. at highgrove estate in gloucestershire, this is the place that prince charles calls his sanctuary. this is where he comes for privacy and for peace. we know that he travelled from here to windsor yesterday, where the queen is currently, just after his father had passed away.
10:32 pm
but he's back here now at home, in highgrove, and it was here that he chose to make this statement. and it is partly the statement of the heir to the throne, making a formal expression of gratitude to people across the country and around the commonwealth, but as you'll hear now, it's also a very personal statement as well. it was delivered from the heart, off—the—cuff, no notes, just in one take to camera. and it was a tribute to the man he described as "my dear papa". good afternoon. i particularly wanted to say that my father, i suppose for the last 70 years, has given the most remarkable, devoted service to the queen, to my family and to the country, and also to the whole of the commonwealth. and as you can imagine, my family
10:33 pm
and i miss my father enormously. he was a much—loved and appreciated figure. and apart from anything else, we're so deeply touched by the number of other people here and elsewhere around the world, and in the commonwealth, who also i think share our loss and our sorrow. and my dear papa was a very special person, who i think, above all else, would have been amazed by the reaction and the touching things that have been said about him. and from that point of view, we are, my family, deeply grateful for all that. it will sustain us in this particular loss and at this particularly sad time. thank you.
10:34 pm
prince charles, the prince of wales, a short time ago here at his home, highgrove in gloucestershire, paying tribute to his late father, prince philip, and also expressing gratitude to the people of the country and the commonwealth for the outpouring of emotion, the tributes that have been paid in the last 2a hours or so. you know, much has been said over many years about just how very different these two men were, father and son, very different characters. we know that in the past, there had been differences and sometimes some contradictions between them. and yet what strikes you when you're here is the similarities between them as well, the fact that they shared so many interests and passions. this is where prince charles comes to enjoy farming and wildlife and conservation, even polo, which he used to play down the road — all passions which prince philip also enjoyed — so you get a sense
10:35 pm
of that connectivity between the generations, just as we've heard a son talking very much in a personal capacity about the loss of his father. and that overriding sense in that statement from the prince of wales of gratitude, gratitude to the public, and also what he described as what his father would have had the amazement, about the way people were now paying tribute to him and speaking so fondly. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with us, political commentatorjo phillips and political editor of the people and the sunday mirror, nigel nelson. welcome to you both. good to have you here tonight. tomorrow's front pages, then.
10:36 pm
let's begins with the sunday telegraph — it leads with the tribute paid by prince charles to the duke of edinburgh, calling him "a very special person". that tribute by the prince of wales is also on the front page of the sunday express. the newspaper adds that the prince said he misses his father "enormously". the sunday times also leads with prince charles�* emotional farewell to his father. but it also carries details of the duke's funeral, which is to take place next saturday in windsor. the sunday mirror reports that prince harry is due back in the uk, and that he willjoin his brother william for their grandfather's funeral procession. and the mail on sunday reports that the duke will be carried to st george's chapel at windsor castle in a land rover which he had helped to design. nigel can tell us a lot more about that in a moment, i am sure. let's begin, no, then come up with the sunday express and, charles, my dear poppa, my family and i miss my
10:37 pm
father enormously, a quote there, jo, from when prince charles get out and spoke to the media today. in front of highgrove, his home in gloucestershire, and immense warmth in the attribute.— in the attribute. yes, i think that came across _ in the attribute. yes, i think that came across very _ in the attribute. yes, i think that came across very well. _ in the attribute. yes, i think that came across very well. many - in the attribute. yes, i think that . came across very well. many people have seen that throughout the afternoon, in the report we just had, and with chris charles being very human, very normal, as you say, martin, very warm, and speaking it seemed very genuinely about his father —— prince charles. as has been said before, there were times in their lives when perhaps they did not have such an easy relationship, but i think as they both got older, they mellowed and they shared so many things. they shared this huge commitments and concerned about the environment and environment matters, and i think the fact that charles went to see his father in hospital
10:38 pm
before he came home to windsor, it is very significant as well, because that was not... it was not for the cameras, it was something very personal, sol cameras, it was something very personal, so i think it is a very heartfelt message from charles. and that very personal thing, my dear p0p up, that very personal thing, my dear pop up, that was his personal name for his dad. is pop up, that was his personal name for his dad-— for his dad. is easy to forget this is a family. _ for his dad. is easy to forget this is a family. a _ for his dad. is easy to forget this is a family, a real _ for his dad. is easy to forget this is a family, a real family - for his dad. is easy to forget this is a family, a real family attack, | is a family, a real family attack, but all of yesterday, after we heard the news, ijust kept thinking about the news, ijust kept thinking about the queen, that this was a woman who'd lost her husband of 73 years —— a royalfamily at who'd lost her husband of 73 years —— a royal family at fat. children and grandchildren had lost somebody dear to them, and and grandchildren had lost somebody dearto them, and it and grandchildren had lost somebody dear to them, and it is very easy to forget that because they are public figures. i forget that because they are public fi . ures. ~ forget that because they are public fiaures. ~ . , . , , figures. i think that is absolutely riaht, and figures. i think that is absolutely right. and i _ figures. i think that is absolutely right, and i think _ figures. i think that is absolutely right, and i think i _ figures. i think that is absolutely right, and i think i was _ figures. i think that is absolutely right, and i think i was one - figures. i think that is absolutely right, and i think i was one of. figures. i think that is absolutely | right, and i think i was one of the people _ right, and i think i was one of the people when i was forgetting that, because _ people when i was forgetting that, because when i first heard prince charles _ because when i first heard prince charles would be addressing the nation _ charles would be addressing the nation at — charles would be addressing the nation at 6pm, i rather assumed we

10:42 pm

10:43 pm
funeral sentiments like this are the opportunity for families to heal rifts, to share memories and perhaps put the bad feelings behind them and to move on, and the way the person that they are paying tribute to would have liked.— that they are paying tribute to would have liked. , . ., would have liked. yes, and i imagine there will be — would have liked. yes, and i imagine there will be a _ would have liked. yes, and i imagine there will be a lot _ would have liked. yes, and i imagine there will be a lot of _ would have liked. yes, and i imagine there will be a lot of that _ there will be a lot of that reflection of what the legacy of the duke of edinburgh will be in the next few days, and particularly in the future. it is going to be young people who are going to benefit from that legacy, with the continuation of the duke of edinburgh awards, which is usually —— usually popular in schools around the world. -- usually popular in schools around the world. ., , -- usually popular in schools around the world. . , ., the world. that is right, and the next few days. _ the world. that is right, and the next few days, we _ the world. that is right, and the next few days, we will - the world. that is right, and the next few days, we will be - the world. that is right, and the | next few days, we will be looking the world. that is right, and the - next few days, we will be looking at the future _ next few days, we will be looking at the future and how things move on for to— the future and how things move on for to bear— the future and how things move on for to bear in mind that charles now is the _ for to bear in mind that charles now is the duke — for to bear in mind that charles now is the duke of edinburgh, he inherits _ is the duke of edinburgh, he inherits the title, and so he will inherit— inherits the title, and so he will inherit enough a lot of functions his father— inherit enough a lot of functions his father previously did, not least of course — his father previously did, not least of course actually supporting the

10:45 pm
saying the queen was coping marvelously, and insight into how this family supporting each other. we do not hear as much about the wessex as much as other members of the royal family. wessex as much as other members of the royalfamily. brute wessex as much as other members of the royal family-— the royalfamily. we can understand that sohie the royalfamily. we can understand that sophie in _ the royalfamily. we can understand that sophie in the _ the royalfamily. we can understand that sophie in the queen _ the royalfamily. we can understand that sophie in the queen are - the royalfamily. we can understand that sophie in the queen are very i that sophie in the queen are very close. i think the countess of wessex is reverted by the queen really is a centric —— second daughter, and she is part of a very small, a quartet of women, they are trusted, and sophie is part of that full sub that is again, is another insight, and it is also this part of the sort of minor royals that we do not see a lot of, but every now and again, you see the countess of wessex doing something in a kitchen or something. i think
10:46 pm
she was doing a food bank or something recently, so there are all the sort of background stories, if you like, and again the sort of background of shared memories of family occasions, and i think that is quite important. i think, going back to what you were saying before about this feeling that it is a family, as well as the first family and very public family, in a sense i think that is reflected by the way the papers have been today and the ones looking at for tomorrow, are almost united in their deference, they respect, the dignity of the coverage, that it is much more the coverage, that it is much more the coverage of, yes, it is the royal family but it is a realfamily coverage of, yes, it is the royal family but it is a real family too. yes, and we are today also princess anne and prince edward talking about their father as many children would speak about their daddy would just died,

butjo and nigel will be back again at 11:30pm for another look at the front pages. coming up next, it is the weather. hello there. high pressure looks likely to dominate our week of weather ahead, but the position of the high, well, that will have an impact on the direction of the wind and the type of weather we get. a northerly flow brought clear skies and a frosty start to saturday morning, but there was a lot of sunshine around, but that northerly flow continues to drive the arctic air right across the country. it's pushing the weather front that we had on the saturday in the southeast over to the near continent and so that means colder for all but it also means more in the way of sunshine across southeast and southern england in comparison to saturday. so, yes, a cold, possibly frosty start for some, a few scattered showers and with those temperatures struggling and any elevation, some of those showers could still be

of hail and a little bit of wet snow. temperatures between 5 and 10 degrees at the very best. we've got high pressure trying to build in from the west but it is allowing this weather front to bring a little more in the way of cloud into the far north and west, so that means not quite as cold a start into northern ireland and western fringes. the coldest and the frostiest weather first thing on monday morning looks likely to be across the far northeast of scotland. but it looks as though scotland and eastern england will see the best of the sunshine on monday, clouding over with some outbreaks of showery rain, eventually pushing into northern ireland, wales and southwest england with that weather front slipping its way steadily southwards and temperatures struggling to climb into double figures as we go through monday. so a cool day even with the sunshine, 7 to 9 degrees the high. high pressure is trying to build in from the south but that weather front still enhancing the potential for some showers up into the far northwest on tuesday. nothing particularly significant in terms of rainfall but there will be some wetter weather for western fringes of scotland and northern ireland.

little more cloud around, potentially, on tuesday, but a little less cold as we see those temperatures returning back into double digits. so it's all about the high pressure staying with us as we go through the middle part of the week. centred by wednesday across the uk and with lighter winds around and perhaps not from a colder, northerly direction, more of an atlantic flow, we are going to see it feeling a little less cold than of late. a good deal of dry weather, a few scattered showers around, temperatures should peak between 8 and 14 degrees. that's about where they should be for this time of year. the high is still with us as we move through wednesday into thursday with the weather fronts trying to squeeze in from the northwest but it does look likely that thursday again another dry day with some decent spells of sunshine around and the winds fairly light. now, looking further ahead, the high pressure may well drift down towards the southwest. now, what that could enable to do is for the temperatures to then start to climb as we change
10:57 pm
the wind direction once again. as the winds circulate in a clockwise direction around that high, we then drag in more of a south—westerly flow, so that will bring a return to something a little milder across the country and we could start to see temperatures slightly above the average as we go through the week. so if we take leeds as an example — but this is a fairly widespread example across the country — we start off on monday on the colder theme with a lot of cloud around, more sunshine and more warmth tends to develop as we go through the week, and if we get 16 degrees by sunday, well, that's above the average for the time of year. not that much in the way of significant rain around, a good deal of dry weather to look out for as well.
