their respects and show their appreciation for a man who gave this country so many years of service. nicholas witchell, bbc news. we're joined now from windsor by our royal correspondent sarah campbell. sarah, we know more details now of the funeral service, but also the service of remembrance taking place today. tell us about that. yes. today. tell us about that. yes, indeed, today. tell us about that. yes, indeed. as _ today. tell us about that. yes, indeed, as you _ today. tell us about that. yes, indeed, as you say, _ today. tell us about that. yes, indeed, as you say, a - today. tell us about that. yes, indeed, as you say, a service l today. tell us about that. yes, | indeed, as you say, a service of remembrance taking place later today at canterbury cathedral. it is a ticketed event, not something to turn up to. as you said, it is going to be livestreamed. i am sure that prince philip, a man of faith, the queen also, of course, i think both will be remembered impressing churches and places of worship across the country today as you say, we did hear some new details about the funeral, which will be held on saturday stop there will be a maximum of 30 people, that i rotavirus restrictions. we know that present will be the duke's children

and grandchildren, including the duke of sussex, prince harry, he will be flying in from california. his wife, meghan, will not, and we understand it is on the advice of her doctors. she is of course pregnant. normally, at a funeral of senior royals such as prince philip, you would expect the prime minister to attend, but downing street said yesterday he will not attendant that is because he wants to allow the maximum of family members to resident. so talking about the funeral itself, well of course the duke famously does not like a fuss and friends of his have perhaps commented that perhaps this much smaller, more private funeral might have been what he wanted. certainly palace spokespeople said yesterday it was certainly in line with his wishes, and a particularly nice touch, i think, wishes, and a particularly nice touch, ithink, is wishes, and a particularly nice touch, i think, is that his coffin will be borne through the grounds of windsor castle on the back of a land rover which has been specially adapted and designed by the duke, so clearly he had had in what he would have for his funeral. it is worth

reiterating, i think, have for his funeral. it is worth reiterating, ithink, that have for his funeral. it is worth reiterating, i think, that all will take place within the castle walls, they will be no vantage points here in windsor. the palace spokespeople saying that really, the best view you are going to get of the funeral is to watch it on television. so really, this idea that encouraging people to stay away from windsor, from buckingham palace, from all these places, does continue, because while this general is an important event which people will want to market, the pandemic is ongoing and i think the authorities want to make sure that people mourn prince philip from a safe distance. thank you very much, sarah. australia's prime minister scott morrison and governor—general david hurley attended a church service in sydney this morning to pay their respects to the duke of edinburgh. we're joined now by our correspondent shaimaa khalil. shaimaa, tell us more about the service and how the prince has been honoured in australia over the last couple of days? good morning. we spent the day outside st andrews cathedral, a

church that the queen and the duke of edinburgh had attended several times on their different visits here to australia, to sydney, in particular. and of course, as you say, the prime minister, governor general and the premier of new south wales were among those who attended. hundreds of people, members of the public, also attended. it was not your normal sunday service, the support was an historic moment for so many people and a moment to express solidarity with the queen, with the royal family, and of course to pay respects to the life of ince philip, a life of service and loyalty. we managed to speak to the prime minister outside the church, and again he reiterated his message to the queen of condolences and of respect to the life. but it was actually quite touching to speak to people as well, it felt quite personal for so people as well, it felt quite personalfor so many people as well, it felt quite personal for so many people, people as well, it felt quite personalfor so many people, even those who had not met him. some

remember those royal visits, remembered clamouring with the crowds to try to get a glimpse of the queen and the duke of edinburgh, and others said he was a man who seemed very personable, but it seemed very personable, but it seemed like he had a good sense of humour, even if it landed him in some trouble. memories, really, about humour and about his deep interest in people, especially young people. we heard from a number of young people, actually, throughout those couple of days, who said that the duke of edinburgh award scheme changed their life for the better, made them able to engage with the community. so today was a mix of yes, sadness for the loss of the duke of edinburgh, but also a sense of solidarity with the queen and with the royal family, and remembering a man who is seen here, really, as a long and was found to australia. —— close friend. the duke of edinburgh's funeral next saturday is likely to see a number of elite sporting events postponed or rearranged. an fa cup semifinal, the women's six nations

and the opening day of the world snooker championship are among the events likely to be affected. the english football league has announced that all 3:00pm games next saturday will be moved to avoid a clash. election campaigning will resume on tuesday after a brief pause, following the death of the duke of edinburgh. elections to the scottish and welsh parliaments, and for councillors, mayors and police and crime commissioners in england, are due to be held on the 6th of may. there will be another short break in campaigning on the day of prince philip's funeral next saturday. former big brother contestant and reality tv star, nikki grahame, has died at the age of 38. nikki had checked into a private hospital last month and was receiving treatment for an eating disorder. her death was announced by friends on a fundraising campaign page, which had raised £65,000 from fans towards her recovery. thousands of people have been evacuated from the eastern caribbean island of st vincent, after a volcano sent a cloud of ash and smoke high into the air.

the prime minister said evacuees had been temporarily housed on cruise ships and on safer parts of the island. 0ur central america correspondent will grant reports. it is an awe—inspiring, frightening sight, captured by the islanders of st vincent as they fled the affected areas. huge, thick plumes of smoke and dust were sent shooting several kilometres into air, as la soufriere unleashed its incredible explosive power. it was bright. but then the light began to deteriorate. it wasn't at a slow pace, it was rapidly deteriorating. it was just darkness. and then what happened, you began to feel something hitting your skin — ash.

and as the ash filled the sky and blocked out the sun, these were the scenes as daytime on the island turned dark as night in moments. these eruptions are rare — just a handful in 200 years. the last was some a0 years ago, with no casualties, and the government on st vincent are trying hard to avoid loss of life this time, too. i hereby order as follows. one, the evacuation of all premises in the areas designated as the red zone on the north—east and the north—west of st vincent. and the evacuation of the area itself. to aid the evacuation order, a vessel was sent to the leeward side of the east caribbean island.

a number of large commercial cruise lines which operate in the caribbean have also pitched in, and some residents found themselves aboard ships if they didn't have safe haven with family elsewhere. this is not a drill! disaster preparedness in the caribbean is generally well co—ordinated, however, a volcanic eruption of this magnitude is a challenge of a different order, especially amid a pandemic. the threat of what could happen if the evacuation doesn't go smoothly is ever present. when la soufriere erupted at the turn of the 20th century, 1600 people are believed to have died. though many on st vincent hoped they would never live through such an eruption, the hope is now that they can ride it out safely. will grant, bbc news. bafta has paid tribute to the duke of edinburgh, its first president, ahead of a virtual awards ceremony tonight.

a statement was read out at the start of last night's ceremony, honouring prince philip for his outstanding contribution to british cinema. the duke of cambridge had been due to appear in a pre—recorded segment but pulled out following the death of his grandfather. the first part of the baftas took place last night, the technical awards, which we will hear more about later in the programme. let’s about later in the programme. let's take ou about later in the programme. let's take you through — about later in the programme. let's take you through the _ about later in the programme. let's take you through the front pages of the newspapers. the papers continue to be dominated by reaction to the death of the duke of edinburgh. let's take a quick look. the sunday telegraph leads with a tribute from prince charles, who is quoted as saying his father was a "special person" and he'll miss him enormously. the mail on sunday also leads on the words from the prince of wales, and includes details of the duke's funeral next saturday. "united in grief" is the headline on the front of the sunday mirror. it reports that the duke of cambridge and brother prince harry will "walk shoulder to shoulder" in prince philip's funeral procession. the paper also has a feature on the long marriage of the queen and the duke, who were married for 73 years. meanwhile, the sunday times features

this story about rachel blackmore, who became the first female jockey to win at the grand national with her horse minella times. over the last few days, we've seen lots photographs from the big occasions in the duke of edinburgh's life. this one, of the queen giggling with prince philip at an event at windsor castle in 2003, is particularly special as it provides a rare glimpse into their relationship. it was captured by photographer chris young, who joins us now. we had yesterday a lot about how the duke would make the queen love right through their married life, but this particular moment was captured by chris young. you are joining particular moment was captured by chris young. you arejoining us particular moment was captured by chris young. you are joining us from toronto. good morning, chris. i guess it is perhaps inevitable this picture would once again resurface and get a huge amount of attention? we would love to know the story behind it, take us through what

happened. i was assigned to go to windows windsor castle for a review and it meant i was the only photographer there and, i would say i got very lucky, honestly, when this event happened and that itjust turned out the way it did. find happened and that it 'ust turned out the way it duh happened and that it 'ust turned out the way it «nth the way it did. and there were a number of _ the way it did. and there were a number of different _ the way it did. and there were a number of different theories - the way it did. and there were a i number of different theories about what was that fully happening that caused the two of them to smile like that. explain a little bit about what was going on at the moment you took that photo. what was going on at the moment you took that photo-— took that photo. there seemed to be a swarm of bees _ took that photo. there seemed to be a swarm of bees that _ took that photo. there seemed to be a swarm of bees that had _ took that photo. there seemed to be a swarm of bees that had attached i a swarm of bees that had attached themselves to the chairs among the guests so i was taking some pictures of the queen and the duke and aware of the queen and the duke and aware of a commotion and i saw their reaction and that was lovely. it was a lovely candid moment and then there was a bit of carnage going onto the side where people were to

remove themselves from the swarm. it was a little bit of chaos at the time which i think was very unique. and itjust emphasised once again how what we understood to be there public and professional role that they performed so regally, of course, throughout their careers, and underneath it was this relationship and this normality to who they were and it was just like lifting the lid slightly, wasn't it? i think so. it was a rare moment for me to see and i think the candid nature of it and the way, they were just giggling like little kids. it was wonderful to see and i was quite touched by it, i must admit. fiend was wonderful to see and i was quite touched by it, i must admit.- touched by it, i must admit. and at what toint touched by it, i must admit. and at what point did _ touched by it, i must admit. and at what point did you _ touched by it, i must admit. and at what point did you know— touched by it, i must admit. and at what point did you know it - touched by it, i must admit. and at what point did you know it was - touched by it, i must admit. and at what point did you know it was a i what point did you know it was a good photo, one that would be around for a while and one we would be

was 18. when they met at the naval training college. it is so amazing to think of the future they had ahead of them.— to think of the future they had ahead of them. we're also talking about planning — ahead of them. we're also talking about planning that _ ahead of them. we're also talking about planning that goes - ahead of them. we're also talking about planning that goes into - ahead of them. we're also talking about planning that goes into an i about planning that goes into an event like this but then a very 2021 being able to stream the funeral on social media, perhaps something that was not in earlier plans. maura. social media, perhaps something that was not in earlier plans.— was not in earlier plans. now, the weather. when _ was not in earlier plans. now, the weather. when i— was not in earlier plans. now, the weather. when i left _ was not in earlier plans. now, the | weather. when i left you yesterday it was snowing and when i drove work it was snowing. what is happening? it feels like we have been shot back into winter, doesn't it? some of us are waking up to a fresh covering of snow and, guess what, there are more showers in the forecast for today. not everyone is getting them. there will be plenty of sunshine around today but let's focus on the showers to start with. this is the radar where we have seen snow in the last few hours. drifting

in around the north sea coast there, a few around manchester as well. salford has seen some wintry nurse as well. at eight o'clock in the morning the temperature will still be close to freezing so anything that falls from the sky may settle here and there but notice you can see a lot of land here so skies will be clear across a large chunk of the country at the showers are hit and miss and if use went you can see those blobs of blue for rain and blobs of white for sleet and hail you may wonder how it can know if it is a hybrid temperature of eight degrees? there is a lot of deep cold air in the atmosphere so when the showers go through the temperature does drop and you get a bit of snow and tonight we could see some snow around parts of wales, perhaps merseyside into the midlands as well. early morning temperatures on monday will be around freezing so once again tomorrow around this area here we could see some fresh snow

settling. this is monday and you can see the scale of the cold into parts of western, central europe as well. that is still with us and you will see some slightly, ever so slightly milder air lodging in off the continent on monday but it really is going to be very slight. they find a for the bulk of the uk but towards the west perhaps increasing amounts of cloud and bits and pieces of rain. you can see the temperatures are nudging back to around 9— 12 celsius across the west and south—west of the uk. for things to turn warmer we need a southerly wind and then towards the end of the week we do expect high pressure to build and that means it is very little wind. there is nothing coming our way so whatever air we have sits over us so the temperature may be around 10—12 celsius, below par for the time of year when there could be showers around as well. and that is the trend for the week, just a

gradual rise in the temperatures by wednesday, perhaps peaking at around 13 or 1a degrees but then there are indications that as we head towards the end of the week ahead those temperatures may well be going back down again. that is not good news, thomas. we will speak to you again later and hopefully you will have better news. later and hopefully you will have better news-— better news. given the pubs and restaurants _ better news. given the pubs and restaurants our _ better news. given the pubs and restaurants our doors _ better news. given the pubs and restaurants our doors are - better news. given the pubs and i restaurants our doors are opening up again i will accept the fact at least that the weather is dry. and there is. there is a lot of anticipation around that. nonessential shops in england reopening tomorrow for the first time in more than three month. the time in more than three month. a really big moment for staff who have been on furlough. nina has been taking a look at how businesses in bolton are preparing to pull up their shutters and welcome back customers. 0pen open the doors! switch on the

really means something to us. restrictions starting to be eased again does not mean it is straight back to business as usual. this venue was used to hosting at least 100 guests sitting most clients are now choosing to wait rather than have a micro wedding in april. couples who have waited this long, some of whom have post home their dates three or four times already really do not want to take the risk of having to do something outdoors. with a bumper diary from mid summer onwards they are now hoping there is not another lockdown. it onwards they are now hoping there is not another lockdown.— not another lockdown. it would be devastating- _ not another lockdown. it would be devastating. we _ not another lockdown. it would be devastating. we have _ not another lockdown. it would be devastating. we have waited - not another lockdown. it would be devastating. we have waited a - not another lockdown. it would be i devastating. we have waited a long time to reopen. we have been good with the precautions we have put in place and there is a lot of time and that go into putting them in place and we are confident that we cannot reopen safely and securely for everybody. reopen safely and securely for everybody-— reopen safely and securely for eve ,, everybody. many other businesses are also involved — everybody. many other businesses are also involved in _ everybody. many other businesses are also involved in making _ everybody. many other businesses are also involved in making a _ everybody. many other businesses are also involved in making a wedding - also involved in making a wedding happen from dress shops and djs to caterers like this one. they will

year it finally can. it really does underline how difficult it is even when restrictions start to be lifted, there is still concern and nervousness about people wanting to rebook things and that has a huge impact on the industry. still to come on breakfast, pubs in england can reopen from tomorrow. we'll hearfrom uk hospitality about what you can expect if you've booked an outdoor table. and it is 6:30am. thanks for being with us. ben thompson and rachel burton with you want breakfast this morning. here is a summary of the main stories today: pubs, restaurants and non—essential retail can reopen tomorrow as england takes another step out of lockdown. as restrictions gradually ease, some are concerned we might begin to see are concerned we might begin to see a rise in coronavirus cases. we are joined now by our resident gp, mohit. good morning. restrictions

begin to ease tomorrow, a big day, especially for hospitality, of course, and retail. there are concerns, inevitably, that people will think the virus will continue to spread, maybe even speed up as people start to go out again? i think we're all looking forward to take these steps out of lockdown. i have a haircut booked in a few days, i am sure there are many of people looking forward to going to be a garden centre pubs. although we might need the weather to change for that. from that perspective it is important to acknowledge that it wouldn't surprise me, and i would almost expect, but case levels would stabilise and maybe even increase as we head into mixing more with other households, and that would be to be expected. but the important thing is that we are now much more vaccinated. 32,000,001st vaccines, nearly 7,000,002nd vaccines, these people are now protected and we have the evidence in the older age cohort have had the vaccine and it

significantly reduces the risk of severe covid, of hospitalisation and death. there is also evidence it reduces transmission as well. the flipside to that is that they will be people out there in at—risk groups who have not had the vaccine yet and will still be at risk of catching covid and potentially getting very unwell with it. so it is so important that we still follow the guidance and stay in the fresh air where we the guidance and stay in the fresh airwhere we are the guidance and stay in the fresh air where we are able to, and think about these other people. and for these people who may not have taken these people who may not have taken the vaccine so far, please come forward, there is a vaccine with your name on it. i forward, there is a vaccine with your name on it.— forward, there is a vaccine with your name on it. i wanted to ask what comparisons _ your name on it. i wanted to ask what comparisons we _ your name on it. i wanted to ask what comparisons we could - your name on it. i wanted to ask| what comparisons we could make your name on it. i wanted to ask- what comparisons we could make with schools, because there were concerns viruses would spread more quickly when schools reopen, but while cases increase we did —— did see an increase we did —— did see an increase in hospitalisations? increase we did -- did see an increase in hospitalisations? that's ri t ht. increase in hospitalisations? that's right. that is what has been - right. that is what has been important this time around, the effectiveness of the vaccine programme. from the children perspective, we saw that when the schools reopen, the case of a was in the —— was below the 20s and it increased a bit. we are very

reassured that children are very, very unlikely to be affected by covid at all. that is where there is a chance that case numbers will increase, but this time around the focus will be on hospitalisations and deaths, and hopefully we are already seeing evidence that that link between cases in hospitalisations and deaths is coming apart thanks to vaccination. and as well as physical health, we should also talk about mental health, shouldn't we? there will be lots of anxiety. people who have been for large parts of the last year inside or isolated. it is going to be strange for people to get back out there? ., to be strange for people to get back out there? . ., , ~ out there? yeah, i was thinking about this _ out there? yeah, i was thinking about this and _ out there? yeah, i was thinking about this and trying _ out there? yeah, i was thinking about this and trying to - out there? yeah, i was thinking about this and trying to put - out there? yeah, i was thinking i about this and trying to put myself in a place where i might be at a concert, and it feels very alien to be surrounded by so many people. they will be people as we step out of lockdown he may have been shielding, they might have seen nobody for the past 12 months, and then put them in an environment where there are lots of people around them, they understandably might feel very anxious about that stop i think it is important, even

if we aren't feeling anxious, to be considerate of the other people around us. when you are in a supermarket queue or at the checkout or even shopkeepers who work there, i think we really have a duty to think about other people as well as ourselves, and ensure that we are following the guidance wherever possible, staying outside wherever possible, staying outside wherever possible as well. and if there are people who are struggling, have obviously had this incredibly tragic news about nikki graham, i think there are lots of people out there you will have an struggling through the pandemic, because of restrictions, because of losing the support networks, because ofjob losses or mental illness, all these reasons that have come together, please, if you're are struggling, come forward. we are here for you. often getting in touch as the most 0ften getting in touch as the most important step, but gps are here, lots of mental health support is available, good samaritans are available, good samaritans are available, there is a fantastic charity which has helplines available every single day, please come forward because you will not be alone, there are many other people out there and we are here to help

what i have been tested to protect myself and the people around me and themselves. but we need to make sure that it themselves. but we need to make sure thatitis themselves. but we need to make sure that it is fair for everybody. absolutely. good to see you this morning. thank you for all that advice. really interesting to see so many different things coming together, as we gradually start to ease those restrictions, they will inevitably be a bit of anxiety. it feels like a big moment, but, tomorrow. and of course our coverage here on practice with the team, back tomorrow morning, with all those issues as well. it is 6:36am. time for the sport, and what a story to bring us today, jane! what a champion!— bring us today, jane! what a cham-ion! , ., ., ., champion! yes, it was so emotional, such an historic— champion! yes, it was so emotional, such an historic moment, _ champion! yes, it was so emotional, such an historic moment, rachel- such an historic moment, rachel blackmore crossing the line is the first female jockey to ever win the grand national. you can imagine it is on the paper —— front pages of all the papers. so much has been made of her so being the first female jockey, made of her so being the first femalejockey, she did made of her so being the first female jockey, she did say that she was blown away after making history. she became the first female jockey

patients are struggling to get medical care as india is in the grips of a fierce second wave of covid. 73—year—old mary was taken to six hospitals, none of which had a critical care for her. she died on her way to the seventh. her son, anthony, spoke to me from isolation. all these years she never needed to go to a hospital and when she did i could not do anything for her. i failed her, he says. field hospitals built last year to add to existing facilities are already full. this one is managed by this doctor, who has been on the frontline since the pandemic began. so what is different this time around? right pandemic began. so what is different this time around?— this time around? right now i am seeint this time around? right now i am seeing when _ this time around? right now i am

of england, yorkshire, these sorts of england, yorkshire, these sorts of areas. some of these snow showers sneaking into other areas as well. tonight we are expecting with this weather front movie and some winter in a surround wales, perhaps merseyside, the peak district into the midlands, temperatures around freezing or so. it will be cold enough for some of the snow to again settle around about here. this is the big view of the cold outbreak that we are experiencing right now. you can see relatively dark blue here, but these are slightly warmer colours, if you like, so less blue here, that is in air coming off the atlantic and it is a sign that things are going to turn a little bit milder as we head into monday. of course we are relaxing the of course we are relaxing the restrictions on monday and some of us might be hoping to visit perhaps a beer garden. it is not particularly warm. nine degrees and thatis particularly warm. nine degrees and that is briefly in the afternoon.

towards the end of the week, high pressure is expected to build. that does mean unsettled weather but we are in fact expecting a few showers to develop on tuesday. i think it is a bit of a mixed bag for us on tuesday. the temperatures creeping up tuesday. the temperatures creeping up a little bit. i promised you those wafts of slightly milder air of the atlantic and that is realised by tuesday. you can see we are no longer into single figures. those temperatures will tend to creep up a little bit as we head into the middle part of the week, maybe up to around a0 degrees. then there are signs that things could ease again in the temperatures could drop. at the moment i have to say we're well into april, the middle of april, there are no of the dizzy heights of there are no of the dizzy heights of the 20s, for example, that we had a couple of weeks ago. we do not blame ou, don't couple of weeks ago. we do not blame you. don't worry- _ couple of weeks ago. we do not blame you. don't worry- l— couple of weeks ago. we do not blame you, don't worry. i cling _ couple of weeks ago. we do not blame you, don't worry. i cling onto - couple of weeks ago. we do not blame you, don't worry. i cling onto the - you, don't worry. i cling onto the fact that it is dry and that is all we should be focusing on right now. yes. ., we should be focusing on right now. yes. . ., , _, , ., yes. that will do us. of course, all of this weekend's _ yes. that will do us. of course, all of this weekend's newspapers - yes. that will do us. of course, all| of this weekend's newspapers have been reflecting on the life of the

duke of edinburgh. lots of them have special pullouts as part of their coverage. to talk through just a few of those tributes we are joined by vanity fair�*s royal editor. good morning to you. so much for us to get through. so many papers going big with tributes. let's start with the sunday express. it is focused particularly on that address that we had from prince charles yesterday. yes, it has. charles: my dear papaya is the front page of the sunday express —— papa. i think anyone watching that address yesterday will have been struck by the deeply personal tone of the prince of wales's tribute to his father. we have been told that we would be getting a broadcast from the prince of wales and to see him walk out of his home. he was not completely dressed in black. he was wearing a

blue suit and a black tie. he spoke very much from the heart, without notes, certainly in an address that was one of his most personal. it reminded me of the time when at the queen's diamond jubilee he addressed his mother as mama. we haven't heard that tone of affection and warmth towards his mother before, and it reminded me of that moment with him describing the duke of edinburgh as papa and he described him as a much loved and appreciated figure. he also spoke very touchingly, i felt, of the support that the family had received from the public in the uk and around the commonwealth. he said that was really strengthening the family at this time. that is everything that i have been hearing from the family, that they have been overwhelmed by the public support. 0bviously overwhelmed by the public support. obviously in a very difficult time when people cannot go and grieve in person, we are being asked not to go and lay flowers, not to head to windsor together and our respects.

in the background, of course, to the duke's recent as it to hospital was the whole story around prince harry and meghan, and it appears she will not be coming to the funeral. that is because she is pregnant, so that is because she is pregnant, so that is the advice of doctors as we understand it. it is the advice of doctors as we understand it.— is the advice of doctors as we understand it. it is, absolutely. and the sources _ understand it. it is, absolutely. and the sources that _ understand it. it is, absolutely. and the sources that i - understand it. it is, absolutely. and the sources that i have - understand it. it is, absolutely. - and the sources that i have spoken to have reiterated that it was on the advice of her physician that she was advised not to travel. we don't know an exact due date when the baby will be born but the think it could be as early asjune. —— we think. i was told by a very senior source that every effort was made for her to be able to fly over here, but ultimately they made the decision that the duchess would not travel. of course, this will be a very of course, this will be a very important moment for prince harry. it will be the first time that he has seen the family in over a year and we all know how much happen in

that very eventful year. i think it will be a very emotional homecoming for prince harry, who we understand is en route back now. he will have to quarantine. he will be tested upon arrival in the uk and he will have to quarantine but he will be very keen, i suspect, to see his grandmother and his brother, all of whom he has also been in constant touch with since hearing the news. he was told the news at the same time as other members of the royal family. time as other members of the royal famil . �* ,, ., time as other members of the royal famil . �* ,, ~ ., ., family. and the sunday mirror, of course, family. and the sunday mirror, of course. also _ family. and the sunday mirror, of course, also making _ family. and the sunday mirror, of course, also making the _ family. and the sunday mirror, of course, also making the point- family. and the sunday mirror, of| course, also making the point that william and harry will walk as part of the funeral procession together. yes, united in grief is the front page for the sunday mirror. i think there is great hope that in all of this very sorry story, if there is any good to come out of it, it will

be the brothers forging a path to a rapprochement. it is no secret that there has been a lot of tension behind—the—scenes. everyone will remember these once close others walking behind their mother's coffin. they will be united once again and we understand they will walk behind prince philip's coffin.

we do not know which other members of the royal family will be amongst the party walking behind the coffin and this will be the first time the public have seen them since that very different, much colder and awkward encounter at the service two years ago. united in grief is the headline and i think everyone will focus on that. of course people will be watching the body language very carefully between the brothers. i am told that prince william is delighted for the opportunity for some much needed family time

and it is another cold day across the uk. so that wintry showers are expected, but there will be some sunshine around. —— further wintry showers. it's sunday, 11th april. our top story: a service of remembrance is being held at canterbury cathedral this morning in memory of the duke of edinburgh. it will be live—streamed on social media and led by the archbishop, justin welby, who is also expected to officiate at prince philip's funeral next saturday. 0ur royal correspondent nicholas witchell reports. it will be here in st george's chapel, windsor, so often the setting forjoyful occasions for the royal family, that they will pay their final farewells to the duke next saturday afternoon. buckingham palace is at pains to emphasise that the event will be covid—compliant. everything will happen within the privacy of the castle to avoid crowds gathering. the funeral will be what is known as a ceremonial royal funeral. that's one level down from a state funeral.

it will take place at three o'clock next saturday afternoon, april 17. the duke's coffin will be borne in a ceremonial procession from the castle's state apartments to st george's chapel. members of the royal family, led by the prince of wales, will walk behind the coffin. there will be a national one—minute silence when the coffin reaches the chapel at three o'clock. inside the chapel, the congregation will be limited to 30. the public is being asked not to go to windsor. the best place to watch it all will be on television, said a palace spokesman. from his home at highgrove, the prince of wales paid this tribute to his father. my family and i miss my father enormously. he was a much loved and appreciated figure. and apart from anything else, i can imagine him to be so deeply touched by the number of other people here and elsewhere around the world 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, my family and i are deeply grateful for all that. it will sustain us in this particular loss and at this particularly sad time. 0utside windsor castle people continue to leave flowers, despite the requests not to do so. people want to pay their respects and show their appreciation for a man who gave this country so many years of service. nicholas witchell, bbc news. we're joined now from windsor by our royal correspondent, sarah campbell. sarah, what do we know

about a service of remembrance taking place today? yes, as you said, good morning from windsor castle. a service of remembrance replacing the normal eucharist at canterbury cathedral this morning. it will be livestreamed. it is a ticketed event only, and those tickets have sold out, so please don't go there. i am sure there will be services at places of worship across the country today, i am sure they will be thoughts shared and word spoken about both prince philip and of course the queen at this difficult time of morning. we had some more details today. you heard about the funeral that will take place at three o'clock next saturday, but his saturday the 17th of april. we will find out the exact guest list on thursday, but a palace spokesperson did confirm prince harry the duke of

sussex, will be flying over from california. his wife meghan, the duchess of sussex, will not be attending. that is on the advice of her physician. she is of course heavily pregnant. so details being shared there, a minutes silence will be held at three o'clock next week. as i said, members of the royal family gathering and it will all be subject to covid restrictions. so they will be a maximum of 30 people allowed inside st. george's chapel. we heard yesterday that the prime minister, who would normally be expected to attend the funeral of a senior royal, will not attend. he said he could allow the maximum number of family members to attend. sarah campbell at windsor castle, thank you. the villa in malta, where the queen and prince philip spent the early years of their marriage, is set to be opened to the public as a tourist attraction. the building was saved from ruin and is currently undergoing a £9 million revamp. nick beake is there

for us this morning. this is such a fascinating detail of their early married life. tell us more about the villa, and why it was so special to them?— so special to them? good morning. yeah, it so special to them? good morning. yeah. it was _ so special to them? good morning. yeah, it was more _ so special to them? good morning. yeah, it was more than _ so special to them? good morning. yeah, it was more than 70 - so special to them? good morning. yeah, it was more than 70 years i so special to them? good morning. | yeah, it was more than 70 years ago the newlyweds philip and elizabeth fell in love with this island, and it wasn't just a stunning coastline here in malta. it was the lifestyle it afforded them at this particular point in our lives. this was the early 19505. the glitz and glamour of some of the parties here was a world away from the pretty drab, grey, postwar britain they knew. it also allowed to be prince to pursue his career in the navy. the queen has talked about his great fondness for the island, but the couple both held, the fact they were able to get as near to normality a5 held, the fact they were able to get as near to normality as was possible for them. the queen was able to pop down to the shops on some mornings. today the prince will certainly be in the thoughts of many, many people, as in the thoughts of many, many people, a5 is the case in britain,

covid i5 people, a5 is the case in britain, covid is playing its part in shaping some of the commemorations and some of the events that would have normally taken place to mark the life of the duke of edinburgh. so for example today, the anglican cathedral, where the couple often worshipped. that will be empty. they will not be any services there. certainly the people we have been speaking to have said that be prince will be in our thoughts. as you mentioned, the villa is undergoing this renovation, and in the years to come, the hope is that it will be restored to its former glory. it will be a place where people can come and learn more about the prince's association with this island. they also hope it will be a fitting tribute to him.— fitting tribute to him. thank you very much. _ fitting tribute to him. thank you very much, nick. _ new details have emerged about the scale of government lobbying involving david cameron. the health secretary, matt hancock, went for what's being a called a "private drink" with the former prime minister and lex greensill before some nhs trusts began using one of the financier�*s services. let's find out more from our political correspondent, helen catt.

helen, lots of developments, just helen, lots of developments, 'ust bring us up to date?i bring us up to date? yes, 'ust to reca- bring us up to date? yes, 'ust to recap this. i bring us up to date? yes, 'ust to recap this, this i recap this, this is to do with lex greensill, the financier who was an advisor to david cameron when he was prime minister. when david cameron left office, after he left office, he went on to work for lex greensill. there has been a lot of focus in recent weeks about how mr cameron has been interacted with government ministers on behalf of his employer. last week it emerged he had texted chancellor rishi sunak on his private number to try to get access to a loan scheme for greensill, and rishi sunak took the unusual step of publishing his responses to mr cameron. now, courtesy of the sunday times, we have these new details that another cabinet minister, health secretary matt hancock, went for what is being called a private drink with mr greensill and mr cameron in october 2019. a few months earlier, mr greensill approached the department of health because he had a payment system he wanted the nhs to sign up to. now, we understand that civil

servants were asked to look into it, and they advised that the principle of the idea was good. sources insist matt hancock wanted other people to be able to offer the same work and in the end it would be up to local nhs managers to decide if they side up nhs managers to decide if they side up to it —— sign up to it or not. allies of the health secretary say he acted in entirely the correct way, he updated officials of the business but was discussed, as is appropriate. there has been no comment from david cameron all blacks greensill yet, but again, it isjust shining a light blacks greensill yet, but again, it is just shining a light on the transparency of those activities. —— david cameron or lex greensill stop thousands of people have been evacuated from the eastern caribbean from the eastern caribbean island of st vincent, after a volcano sent a cloud of ash and smoke high into the air. the prime minister said evacuees had been temporarily housed on cruise ships and on safer parts of the island. residents in barbados, nearly 200km to the east, have been urged to stay indoors because of the ash cloud. it is 7:10am good morning.

windsor castle is where the duke of edinburgh spent his final days, and despite the use of many royal properties, both he and the queen have long considered it to be their home. ahead of prince philip's funeral next weekend, our reporter danjohnson has been to meet some of those who live and work in the town, as they prepare for the eyes of the world to once again fall upon them. windsor is royal, and the royals are winces. it is a uniquely close connection that goes back nearly 1000 years. the strongest link is with the queen and the duke. who have considered despair home. the town was to — have considered despair home. i1a: town was to be have considered despair home. “i1a: town was to be congratulated, the queen said, on its wholehearted cooperation. queen said, on its wholehearted cooperation-— queen said, on its wholehearted cooperation. bdo could come out every morning — cooperation. bdo could come out every morning and _ cooperation. bdo could come out every morning and he _ cooperation. bdo could come out every morning and he would i cooperation. bdo could come out| every morning and he would come cooperation. bdo could come out i every morning and he would come out of one _ every morning and he would come out of one of— every morning and he would come out of one of the — every morning and he would come out of one of the side gates of the castle — of one of the side gates of the castle with his carriage and his grooms — castle with his carriage and his grooms -- _ castle with his carriage and his grooms. —— the duke would come out every— grooms. —— the duke would come out every morning. grooms. -- the duke would come out every morning-— every morning. louise has lived o- tosite every morning. louise has lived opposite the — every morning. louise has lived opposite the castle _ every morning. louise has lived opposite the castle for- every morning. louise has lived opposite the castle for a i every morning. louise has lived l opposite the castle for a decade. everybody would bid him good morning _ everybody would bid him good morning. ten o'clock on the dot, every— morning. ten o'clock on the dot, every day — morning. ten o'clock on the dot, every day. and he would come out of great _ every day. and he would come out of great courtesy, always a good

george. but the heart of our work as clergy was to sustain a pattern and rhythm of worship and prayer, twice daily and on sundays, of course. that rhythm and hard heat of prayer had been going on since the early 14th century. there were, of course, great occasions which many of the residents of windsor, including my old friend louise wilson, have talked about. but there are also great community there. many people live there, serving the royal family and many aspects of the castle as an international visitor attraction. it internationalvisitorattraction. it appears that the duke was perhaps quite private about his personal faith, but as we have been hearing over the past couple of days, deeply

interested in theology and in particular in its relationship to science. was that something that you picked up on?— picked up on? yes, absolutely, absolutelv- _ picked up on? yes, absolutely, absolutely. in _ picked up on? yes, absolutely, absolutely. in relation - picked up on? yes, absolutely, absolutely. in relation to - picked up on? yes, absolutely, absolutely. in relation to faith, | picked up on? yes, absolutely, | absolutely. in relation to faith, i wonder if you could just bear with me briefly. first of all, one of the court realities of faith is that we need to go to church. we need to be present and the duke, with many other members of the royal family, were present week in, week out, year in, year out, through the decades. so the duke was a faithful and regular attender of services. the other element apart from presents his participation. what does faith mean? how does it relate to the modern world? what kind of world we live in, what kind of god we believe in and can human nature be trusted

to do good? this is an area of participation in public debate in theology, where the duke was incredibly sharp and very enthusiastic and extremely knowledgeable. he was passionate about bringing people together across disciplines, as you said, particularly religion and science but also politicians, poets, musicians. his interests were many and varied and he was a keen explorer of what life means and how we as human beings can make a difference. so the final element of faith is that we need to practise it. we need to make a difference. people will not be convinced by my faith by wearing a collar, unfortunately. they will be convinced what kind of person i am,

by what kind of difference i make, by what kind of difference i make, by how i practise my faith. so in relation to presence and faithfulness in relation to participating in the world of theology and meaning, in relation to practising faith, the duke was a model of christian discipleship and service. . ~ model of christian discipleship and service. ., ,, , ., model of christian discipleship and service. . ~' , ., , model of christian discipleship and service. ., ,, , . service. thank you very much indeed, james woodward. _ gun salutes have been fired across the uk, both on land and at sea, in memory of the duke of edinburgh. 41 rounds were fired at midday yesterday from the four nations of the uk, as well as gibraltar and on board royal navy warships. we're joined now by warrant officer first class glynn moffat, who was in charge of the gun salute in portsmouth. very good morning to you. explain how it felt to be part of that. it was an incredible show.- was an incredible show. good morning. _ was an incredible show. good morning. yes- _

yorkshire, around manchester, merseyside and the midlands. we had some pockets of snow moving through overnight and the temperatures over the next hour or so still close to freezing so anything falling out of the sky will be settling. that may well continue into the afternoon as well. the temperatures are not actually desperately low. they are not quite like the middle of winter. they do get up to about eight to nine degrees in some areas. you will wonder how can the snow fall, but it is very deep cold air over us and when the snow showers and pockets of snow come over us, the temperature temporarily drops. we had a frosty night, the ground is pretty cold and it does tend to settle here in the parks. tonight there could be a bit of snow around here, so wales, maybe merseyside, parts of the midlands, the peak district. temperatures close to freezing or even below in some areas. again, snow lying on the ground somewhere around here early

tomorrow morning. you can see the outbreak of cold air, the wind still coming out of the arctic. if you just look out in the north atlantic, you can see these slightly lighter shades of blue. the air is coming in more from the south and coming around again. that's slightly milder air is trying to sneak in and cut off this current of cold air coming in from the north. so tomorrow, increasing amounts of cloud with some spots of rain with this breeze of the atlantic. also those temperatures just starting to rise. you can see ahead of it in cardiff, around 12 celsius. we will see that pattern as we head into monday night and into tuesday. this is tuesday's weather map, with high pressure over us stop i think tuesday a bit of a mixed bag. there will be some showers around, but light winds. that is not necessarily a good thing, because we want winds from the south to warm things up. we have not got the winds, we're just relying on that sunshine to warm up the cold air. in the area is very

cold over us. so it will take time for things to warm up. if you can call it warm — not at all. 12, i3 for things to warm up. if you can call it warm — not at all. 12, 13 or 14 degrees by wednesday. if anything, it looks like we will get another cold wind out of the north east by thursday, which means that the temperatures. to go down again. so yes, things are relaxing from tomorrow, beer gardens opening, but the son is shining and it is not pouring with rain. at least the weather is fairly settled.- pouring with rain. at least the weather is fairly settled. yes, if ou are weather is fairly settled. yes, if you are sitting _ weather is fairly settled. yes, if you are sitting outside - weather is fairly settled. yes, if you are sitting outside in - weather is fairly settled. yes, if you are sitting outside in a - weather is fairly settled. yes, if you are sitting outside in a beer garden, that is absolutely all you need. you can put on a coat but you cannot avoid the rain. tv personality nikki grahame's mum says her daughter's struggles with anorexia were exacerbated during lockdown. the big brother star has died at the age of 38, just weeks after checking into a private hospitalfor treatment. we're joined now by mental health campaigner hope virgo. such desperately sad news, and it

around eating disorders, people are very unlikely to get support unless they are very underweight. in nikki's situation, it is just ridiculous that she was still trying to raise money and they were trying to raise money and they were trying to get her into services, to raise money to actually going to treatment, when she was already severely underweight and needed that immediate treatment. she severely underweight and needed that immediate treatment.— immediate treatment. she was such a life force, wasn't _ immediate treatment. she was such a life force, wasn't she? _ immediate treatment. she was such a life force, wasn't she? one _ immediate treatment. she was such a life force, wasn't she? one of - immediate treatment. she was such a life force, wasn't she? one of those l life force, wasn't she? one of those real breakout stars from the early days of reality tv and the early days of reality tv and the early days of reality tv and the early days of big brother. i think a lot of people will find it hard to perhaps reconcile the outward positivity and apparent love of life with clearly what was a terrible internal struggle for her. but i guess that will not be uncommon with this particular illness.— this particular illness. know, exactly right- _ this particular illness. know, exactly right. eating - this particular illness. know, | exactly right. eating disorders this particular illness. know, - exactly right. eating disorders are so secretive and people find it very easy to put on a bit of a front every single day, pretending that everything is ok. i think so often with eating disorders, as well, those individuals who are really struggling will try to fix other

people around them, putting everyone is ahead of them because they will just not feel quite good enough to get that support as well. on top of that, with eating disorders, they arejust that, with eating disorders, they are just an illness that carries so much shame and lack of understanding and stigma from the public that it means that quite often people do not understand that someone is not choosing to be that way, that it is notjust choosing to be that way, that it is not just a choosing to be that way, that it is notjust a teenage illness or a diet that has gone wrong but is a really serious mental illness. i think until we start to really understand that, more and more people are going to be hiding and suffering in silence, like nikki was. fine to be hiding and suffering in silence, like nikki was. one of the most dangerous _ silence, like nikki was. one of the most dangerous mental— silence, like nikki was. one of the most dangerous mental health - most dangerous mental health illnesses, actually. when you look at the figures around, absolutely shocking. i know that in your own experience, rise in referrals but when you look at data from the nhs, huge rises in waiting times from children and young people — i28% children and young people — 128% increase in the number waiting for routine treatment compared to last year, a fourfold increase in the number of children and young people waiting for urgent treatment from october, novemberand december. waiting for urgent treatment from october, november and december. what is it about lockdown that

particularly exacerbates this condition, do you think? yes, so the main things — condition, do you think? yes, so the main things with _ condition, do you think? yes, so the main things with lockdown _ condition, do you think? yes, so the main things with lockdown have - condition, do you think? yes, so the| main things with lockdown have been this kind of intense focus on food and exercise. there has been unhelpful messaging over the past year about moving more and eating less and even just over the last four weeks with the roadmap being announced, we began to see this influx of diet messaging and diet culture really pushing into full force there. the other thing to add is the whole area of control. eating disorders are not necessarily around body image, they are not necessarily around weight or food but trying to numb emotion and gaining that control. throughout lockdown we have had this time of isolation and so much uncertainty. so people have resorted to these behaviours like calorie counting or restricting or controlling their food intake calorie counting or restricting or controlling theirfood intake in order to just feel some sense of security over what is a really challenging time. i know from the work that i do in schools that we

are seeing more and more people coming forward. every single day i am getting parents and schools contacting me and also adults who may be also struggling with an eating having been unwell before or maybe starting to first present with disordered eating as well. it has been a really challenging time for everybody, but eating disorders really seem to have thrived throughout it.— really seem to have thrived throughout it. really seem to have thrived throu~hout it. , . _ ., , throughout it. the privacy, as well, that comes — throughout it. the privacy, as well, that comes with _ throughout it. the privacy, as well, that comes with lockdown, - throughout it. the privacy, as well, that comes with lockdown, enablesj that comes with lockdown, enables it. there will be many families affected by what has happened to nikki into herfamily and i am sure so many parents, friends, will be deeply concerned. you yourself enter a period of anorexia and i think you describe yourself as being in ongoing recovery. but what was the difference that helped you through that recovery?— difference that helped you through that recove ? ., , , ., that recovery? really good question. i develo ed that recovery? really good question. i developed anorexia _ that recovery? really good question. i developed anorexia when _ that recovery? really good question. i developed anorexia when i - that recovery? really good question. i developed anorexia when i was - that recovery? really good question. i developed anorexia when i was a i i developed anorexia when i was a teenager, about 12 or 13 years old. i actually ended up being hospitalised when i was 17. for me,

i guess a couple of really key moments. the first thing was accepting that i had something the matter with me, so quite often with eating disorders people really push away and do not think anything is the matter and those behaviours become so normal. when i was in treatment, we did a number of exercises where i actually had concrete evidence that something was not quite right. but i think most recently for me, and i definitely was in a state in my recovery where i had settled and just accepted that i had settled and just accepted that i was always going to have an eating disorder and it was something that i lived within something i managed stop more recently i have actually got to a space where i am challenging it on a day—to—day basis and the thing that is really driving those challenges and driving thinking, even though it feels unbelievably uncomfortable at points, is trying to actually think about what i want my future to look like. do i want to have a future thatis like. do i want to have a future that is completely dictated by food and calories? do i want to be afraid of going out with my friends or do i want to look at all of the other positives that recovery can bring? i

probably make it sound really easy, and it is very, very difficult. i am lucky because i did get access to services. i got treatment, i have a support network around me. but a lot of people will never get to access treatment and a lot of people do not have a support network around them. in those situations, i do think it isjust about in those situations, i do think it is just about setting yourself these goals on a day—to—day basis, trying to push and sit with a lot of that discomfort and realising that a yes, that this comfort is really horrible but the more we challenge it, the more we kind of push ourselves and our recovery, actually we can get to a space where we can start to live our lives. life on the other side of an eating disorder— there is just so much positivity and potential to actually go out and do things that you want to do. so yes, setting those goals, thinking about those motivations and just trying to reframe a little bit about what you want your future to be like, i think, would really help people. brute

think, would really help people. we appreciate all of your thoughts this morning, and of course our thoughts are with the family as well. if you are with the family as well. if you are affected by any of the issues discussed this morning, advice and help is available on the bbc website. the andrew marr show is on bbc one at nine o'clock. good morning, andrew. a busy programme, no doubt? andrew. a busy programme, no doubt? a busy programme at a slightly strange morning. we are in the middle of a period of national mourning. i'm going to be talking to four people who knew the duke of edinburgh pretty well themselves, but are also interesting in their own right. mary mcaleese, the former president of ireland, the actor joanna lumley, former archbishop york, and the former british prime minister sirjohn major. all of that at nine o'clock stop andrew, thank you. at nine o'clock stop andrew, thank ou. ,, at nine o'clock stop andrew, thank ou. ., y ., . at nine o'clock stop andrew, thank ou. . y ., ~ , ., you. see you then. and 'ust a correiomct fl you. see you then. and 'ust a correction, ii correction, i referenced nikki graham's then incorrectly, gra ham's then incorrectly, apologies. graham's then incorrectly, apologies. nikki graham is who we were talking about, and our thoughts are very much with her family. it is

7:33am. you are with breakfast. from tomorrow, pubs, cafes and restaurants in england can reopen for customers seated outdoors for the first time in months. let's take a look at what the rules are. firstly, you must only meet in a group of six people or a maximum of two households. there is no longer a need for customers to have a substantial meal with alcohol, but you must order, eat and drink while seated at an outside table. contactless payment is encouraged rather than the use of cash. all those over the age of 16 will have to check in with the nhs test and trace app, or give their contact details to staff. and when being shown to a table or going to the toilet, customers must wear a face covering, unless exempt, and always observe social distancing rules. kate nicholls is the chief executive of uk hospitality and joins us now. kate, good morning. it is the big day, tomorrow is the day that hospitality has been waiting for for a very long time.

small business and individual operators navigating these rules and difficulties, i think there is a plea to local authorities to have a supportive response to enforcement and to make sure that they are helping these businesses to comply and to reopen as much as they can. our website has a lot of free advice and guidance and lots of frequently asked questions, so we should urge people to go ahead and speak local authority about reopening. the concern is that where there were around what is an outside space, outside coverings, to keep people outside coverings, to keep people out of the snow all the rain while we reopen, but i do think we have navigated most of the difficulties and we should be able to celebrate a large number of premises being able to open successfully tomorrow and welcome family and friends back to socialising in a safe environment. that leads me nicely to my next question of whether businesses are ready. can they reopen tomorrow, and what have they had to do to make sure they are in a position to do

will not be viable. we need to get to that date, start getting as close to that date, start getting as close to normal as we possibly can to have a hope of surviving and saving many of those businesses and millions of jobs. of those businesses and millions of 'obs. �* . �* . of those businesses and millions of 'obs. . , �* , jobs. and it isn't 'ust above the -ublic jobs. and it isn't 'ust above the public response — jobs. and it isn'tjust above the public response themselves, i jobs. and it isn'tjust above the public response themselves, is j jobs. and it isn'tjust above the i public response themselves, is it? we know that there is a huge supply chain, so those caterers, preferred providers, to beer makers, taxidrivers, there is huge associated industry and the jobs that go with that which will be dependent on this reopening? absolutely. and for many parts of the country which are tourism lad, where we have self—contained accommodation opening tomorrow, it is vital to get those front—line businesses moving because it begins the supply chain. the orders will start to flow in, the money flows back up the supply chain, for all those thousands of small independent businesses. for hospitality, our supply chain is unique. about 70% of the supply chain is exclusively supplying hospitality businesses. if we can get the engine of hospitality moving, the third largest sector of

the economy, then we can get millions of more people back to work and we can save those businesses that up the supply chain as you mentioned. that up the supply chain as you mentioned-— that up the supply chain as you mentioned. , , ., ., ., mentioned. yes, big day tomorrow. thanks for talking _ mentioned. yes, big day tomorrow. thanks for talking us _ mentioned. yes, big day tomorrow. thanks for talking us through - mentioned. yes, big day tomorrow. thanks for talking us through all. thanks for talking us through all theissues thanks for talking us through all the issues there. that was katie nichols, chief executive of the uk hospitality group. well, one person who differently deserves a celebratory drink in a pub garden somewhere is rachel blackmore. what a data yesterday! it was incredible. such a historic moment, becoming the first of a female jockey moment, becoming the first of a femalejockey to win moment, becoming the first of a female jockey to win the grand national. as soon as she finished that race she had to go and race again in another race, straight afterwards. i don't know how she got her head into the place for that. understandably, pretty much every national newspaper has this wonderful photograph of her, still on horseback, beaming away. look at that triumphant, "rachel rides into history". she doesn't particularly like the label of being the female jockey, she prefers to be spoken of as a jockey. so what she said immediately afterwards was, i don't feel male or female right now, i

don't even feel human. i think that is because she was just in so much j°y. is because she was just in so much joy, so much elation after what had happened. she said she was blown away after making history at entry yesterday, becoming the first female jockey to win the grand national, riding i!— jockey to win the grand national, riding ii— i—shot minella times to victory. before the race began, tributes or major to the duke of edinburgh, as andy swiss reports. a day when racing paid its respects. jockeys wearing black armbands, and the flags at half—mast. the duke of edinburgh had been an honorary member of the jockey�*s club, and before the first race, aintree fell silent. minute�*s silence. bell tolls. well, the atmosphere here at aintree is understandably subdued. also because there are no spectators here. covid restrictions mean that for the first time in the national�*s history, it's behind closed doors. soon, though, they set out across aintree's fences.

of the 40 starters, 15 finished the race and one horse, the long mile, was put down following an injury. as theyjumped the final fence, it was rachel blackmore on minella times who led the way, and a sporting milestone beckoned. no femalejockey had ever won the national, but rachel blackmore held on for history. for the 31—year—old from county tipperary, a triumph to savour, and for racing, a landmark moment. what does it mean to win it? it means everything. it really does. it is hard to even comprehend it right now, to be honest. it hasn't even sunk in. you know, the aintree grand national is the first race as a kid that would have caught my imagination or sparked my interest, and to finish way ahead, in front, isjust beyond belief, be honest. a grand national in unprecedented circumstances, then, has produced an unprecedented winner. andy swiss, bbc news, aintree.

as well as tributes at aintree, football clubs across the uk also paid their respects to prince philip. players and officials wore black armbands at all english premier league matches, and moments of silence were observed at all league matches in england, wales and scotland. tributes were also paid in both codes of rugby. there was a two—minute silence before england women's six nations match in italy, and a pause for reflection before rugby league's challenge cup matches. in the premier league, manchester city's lead at the top of the table could be cut to 11 points this afternoon if rivals manchester united win at tottenham — that's one of four matches today. it's after city suffered a surprise 2—1 defeat at home to leeds, who played the whole of the second half with ten men. stuart dallas with the winner in stoppage time. chelsea have moved into the top four after a comprehensive 4—1 win over

crystal palace. christian pulisic scoring twice for thomas tuchel�*s side. meanwhile, liverpool are two points behind chelsea in fifth. trent alexander arnold with an stunning injury time winner as liverpool beat aston villa 2—1, to secure their first league win this year. celtic recorded their biggest scottish premiership win of the season as they thrashed livingston 6—0 at home. there were wins too for motherwell, dundee united and aberdeen. and, although they didn't play yesterday, results elsewhere ensured hearts will be playing top—flight football at tynecastle next season. they're winners of the scottish championship title after relegation from the premiership a year ago. there could be a new owner of the famous green jacket later today if hideki matsuyama can hold his nerve. he leads the masters by four shots heading into the final day. a stunning bogey—free round of 65 saw him overtakejustin rose at the top of the leaderboard, leaving the englishman with work to do at augusta. michael redford reports.

day three is moving day at the masters — a chance for the players to climb up the leaderboard, or perhaps hope they don't fall down it. justin rose was aiming to simply stay put. the englishman had a i—shot lead heading into his penultimate round. time to get back into the swing of things. something he managed to do quickly. back—to—back birdies on the opening two holes saw him extend his advantage. but augusta isn't that easy. back—to—back bogeys soon followed. commentator: and that's another one gone. - there was, though, no immediate threat from any rival — at least not on the course. above him, though, a problem. a weather warning given — play suspended. and when it resumed, the winds of change were very much blowing. no more so than with hideki matsuyama. resuming on hole 11, he went six—under—par

in his final eight holes. a new leader had emerged. but there is a big chasing pack. xander schauffele is four shots back, alongside marc leishman and will zalatoris. canadian corey conners is on 6—under, one ahead of the greatjordan speith. and as for rose, well, he stayed put on seven under par. that means today it's time for him to make his move. michael redford, bbc news. england remain on course for a third straight women's six nations title. they're into the final in this year's shortened tournament. after scoring eight tries against scotland last week, england went one better against italy, running in nine tries in a 67—3 win. english interest in this year's european champions cup is over after exeter and sale were both beaten in the last eight. despite a fast start, defending champions exeter lost

at home to proi4 winners leinster by 39—22. sale meanwhile lost at la rochelle. st helens are through to the quarter finals of rugby league's challenge cup after a 26—18 victory over last years winners leeds. tommy makinson scored two of their tries to see them through. they'll play either leigh or huddersfield in the next round. catalans, salford and hull fc also went through yesterday. great britain will have 15 boats racing in the finals at the european rowing championships in italy today. seven boats out of 10 qualified for their a finals yesterday. the women's lightweight pair of imogen grant and emily craig were one of three british crews who won their semi. helen glover was also among them. the finals will be live on bbc two from 1:00pm today. the earlier races will be shown on the red button and iplayer. good luck to them. that is your sport.

going back to our other top story, the reopening and lifting of restrictions. 15 guests can attend outdoor wedding receptions in england from tomorrow. but some firms are concerned about whether couples will still choose to postpone their special day, until more people can celebrate with them. our business correspondent katy austin has more. rafia got engaged in december 2019. we had planned to get married december 2020. we originally planned to do two celebrations. so we were going to have our lovely white wedding here, which would have been about 350 guests, and then a massive wedding in nigeria, which would have been 800 to 1000 guests. so we had invested so much into it. and now, in terms of numbers, injune we will have a small and intimate wedding, and that will hold about 30 people.

after months of stress, rafia nowjust wants to get married and enjoy what she can. the pro is that we're saving a lot of money, and that money will then go towards a nice honeymoon or a mortgage. and also the fact that we're reallyjust spending the day with those that really means something to us. restrictions starting to be eased again does not mean it is straight back to business as usual. this venue is used to hosting at least 100 guests. most clients are now choosing to wait rather than have a micro wedding in april. couples who have waited this long, some of whom have post really do not want to take the risk of having to do something outdoors. with a bumper diary from mid summer onwards, they are now hoping there is not another lockdown. it would be devastating. we have waited a long time to reopen.

we have been good with the precautions we have put in place. there's a lot of time and that go into putting them in place and we are confident that we cannot reopen safely and securely for everybody. lots of other businesses are also involved in making a wedding happen from dress shops and djs to caterers like this one. they will resume some wedding tastings from tuesday and have lots of bookings, but nearly all of them after the 2ist. it has been a tough year for everyone in the industry. weddings and private events will be the big story this summer, and the sporting events are obviously a bit slower to pick up. so that will be the biggest part of our business for a few months. so yes, enormously important to everyone. this manchester cake maker's bulging diary for later in the year is badly needed. it's been a bit of a rollercoaster. my entire business was wiped out overnight. i hung on for as long as i can, but if we end up with another six months of postponements,

you're talking about nearly two years without any proper income, which is tough. i think most businesses would struggle to survive that. you have heard it said that the course of true love never did run smooth. everyone involved in weddings hopes that after a torrid year, it finally can. good luck to anyone who is planning their wedding over the next few weeks. hope it goes well. 800 guests - astonishing- — weeks. hope it goes well. 800 guests - astonishing- a _ weeks. hope it goes well. 800 guests - astonishing. a very _ weeks. hope it goes well. 800 guests - astonishing. a very white _ weeks. hope it goes well. 800 guests - astonishing. a very white wedding i — astonishing. a very white wedding potentially on the cards for anyone getting married in the next couple of days. getting married in the next couple of da s. . , getting married in the next couple ofda s. , , ,, , of days. yes, my goodness. it feels like we're injanuary in some parts the country with all the snow on the ground. it is not desperately think but it is light out there. winter wonderland in a few areas in the wintry showers will continue through the course of today, again in a few areas. you can see parts of scotland where we have recently had the snow

showers, the north—east, one or two earlier overnight around the manchester area, earlier overnight around the manchesterarea, but earlier overnight around the manchester area, but most of us not getting it. it is a case of sunny spells through the course of the afternoon and pretty cold. you can see the wind arrows coming in from the north, that is the cold air spreading steel across the country. temperatures are struggling, we're talking single figures across the board pretty much this afternoon. fourin board pretty much this afternoon. four in aberdeen, six in newcastle and maybe 10 degrees in plymouth or london very briefly. a cold night to come tonight, whether front coming in and that weather front may bring a little bit of extra fresh snow. not an awful lot but some across parts of wales and maybe the midlands, around cheshire, manchester, the peak district and those sorts of areas. certainly cold enough early in the morning on monday for some of that to settle once again. one day itself, i think the north the east of the country looking pretty with some sunshine. at towards the west, a bit more

cloud. there is no real sign of things turning particularly mild. this is the first day of the lockdown easing. you can see it will be a little bit chilly if you are off to a beer garden later on. that sounds like _ off to a beer garden later on. that sounds like very _ off to a beer garden later on. ’i'isgit sounds like very good advice. we can cope with the cold, count we? we need the rain for the gardens, but not so easy to dodge when you are trying to have a paint outside a pub. i trying to have a paint outside a ub. ~ .. trying to have a paint outside a ub. ~ ., , ., trying to have a paint outside a ub, ~' ., y., , ., , trying to have a paint outside a pub. i know where your brain is at the moment- _ pub. i know where your brain is at the moment. thank _ pub. i know where your brain is at the moment. thank you _ pub. i know where your brain is at the moment. thank you for - pub. i know where your brain is at the moment. thank you for being | pub. i know where your brain is at - the moment. thank you for being with us on bbc breakfast and we continue to reflect on the life of the duke of edinburgh today and speak to people who knew him and who encountered him, including our next guest. he was —— —— in 2006, artistjonathan yeo was invited to buckingham palace to paint a portrait of the duke of edinburgh. it took several hours,

over different sittings, to create this remarkable likeness, and jonathan remembers prince philip as a man with fierce intelligence, quick humour and seemingly endless curiosity. hejoins us now. nice to see you. we said that some of yourfirst nice to see you. we said that some of your first impressions and certainly the impression is that you got after sitting with him for so long. what was it like to paint his portrait? long. what was it like to paint his ortrait? . . . long. what was it like to paint his ortrait? , .,, ., ' long. what was it like to paint his ortrait? , ., ' , ., , portrait? this was about 15 years auo and i portrait? this was about 15 years ago and i had — portrait? this was about 15 years ago and i had done _ portrait? this was about 15 years ago and i had done a _ portrait? this was about 15 years ago and i had done a few- portrait? this was about 15 years - ago and i had done a few well-known ago and i had done a few well—known people, people in the public eye. so i wasn't totally new to it but certainly it was the first time i had painted someone who had been a big figure since my childhood. that was quite a different thing. i think it was the first time i had painted someone who had sat more times than i had been an artist in these sorts of things. in general people are new to it and don't know what to do. he knew how to do it and was almost predicting what was happening next at stages along the way. it was a bit different, and he was in this

very grand surroundings of buckingham palace, which was quite unusual. i was wearing a suit because there was a dress code. i have not had that before. everything felt a bit different. but also it was pretty amazing and memorable. it is a wonderful portrait, it really is, and a far cry from the very much traditional royal painting that we are used to seeing. did he like it, do you know? did you ever get any feedback from him on it? i do do you know? did you ever get any feedback from him on it?— feedback from him on it? i do not know. feedback from him on it? i do not know- there _ feedback from him on it? i do not know. there are _ feedback from him on it? i do not know. there are several - feedback from him on it? i do not know. there are several things. l know. there are several things. firstly, i gathered since that there is a general policy that the royal family do not comment on portraits immediately or at all. i can see why. it could cause problems if the reaction is not good, for instance. there is another thing, which is that i have learned over the years that i have learned over the years that the reaction of the subject

immediately afterwards, when they first see it, is often no indication of whether it is a successful portrait or whether other people will like it, or even whether they will like it, or even whether they will like it the second or third time they see it. you sometimes — you think i hope they like it and then you calibrate your feelings according to that. it is actually not so important, but i did hear from others in the royal household that it was generally popular there. that was thought to be representative of him and that is the more useful thing. it is people who know the subject and whether they think — your view of it, especially looking at the back of a canvas for several weeks, it is often more your comparison with what your expectations were. fight! often more your comparison with what your expectations were.— your expectations were. and you said he had sat for— your expectations were. and you said he had sat for a _ your expectations were. and you said he had sat for a lot _ your expectations were. and you said he had sat for a lot of _ your expectations were. and you said he had sat for a lot of portraits - your expectations were. and you said he had sat for a lot of portraits in - he had sat for a lot of portraits in the past. was he a welling subject? you have to sit there for quite

awhile, as we said, and how much do your nerves play into that? can you see any of your nerves in the finished portrait?— see any of your nerves in the finished portrait? was here willing sub'ect? finished portrait? was here willing subject? yes- _ finished portrait? was here willing subject? yes. he _ finished portrait? was here willing subject? yes. he used _ finished portrait? was here willingl subject? yes. he used to get bored easily, and the trouble is as interesting as i think i am, clearly you are there to do a job which involves a certain amount of concentration on the painting. he did not like it when there was not some chat going on or some sort of argument about something, better still, orsomething argument about something, better still, or something where he could educate me, which he was very good at. and most normal social situations, when he was getting bored and could walk off and talk to the next person. but i was not volunteering very much and he would

often just throw out questions, quite tangential ones, about subjects that he knew a lot about, which were pretty broad areas. he would try and engineer situations where we could do a bit of sparring and have a bit of an argument. that was interesting but it was quite distracting from the work i was doing. so you have this conflicting sense of should i be engaging him and keeping him... and there is a logic to that, you want the subject to be lively so you capture that in the painting, but the more you do that, the less you can concentrate on the painting, which is actually the reason you are there. but looking back on it now, it is really interesting. i did not think hugely about it at the time but looking back, it is lovely to see so many people have been sharing in the past few days, it feels quite accurate. it feels very true to who he was at

the time. there was a restless intelligence and it looks like he might be about to make a joke or argue with you or tell you off or something. i argue with you or tell you off or something-— argue with you or tell you off or somethina. .., ., ,, ., ,, . something. i could talk to you all da about something. i could talk to you all day about this, _ something. i could talk to you all day about this, it _ something. i could talk to you all day about this, it is _ something. i could talk to you all day about this, it is really - day about this, it is really fascinating to get your insight. time is against us, i am afraid. thank you for sharing those insights and really lovely to hear them. jonathan yeo, the painter behind that amazing portraits. brute jonathan yeo, the painter behind that amazing portraits.— that amazing portraits. we will continue on — that amazing portraits. we will continue on bbc _ that amazing portraits. we will continue on bbc news - that amazing portraits. we will continue on bbc news channel that amazing portraits. we will- continue on bbc news channel but this is where we say goodbye to viewers and

good morning, welcome to breakfast with rachel burden and ben thompson. our headlines today: remembering the duke of edinburgh — a service will take place this morning in honour of prince philip as his family pay tribute. 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. it's been confirmed the duke's funeral will take place next saturday with just 30 mourners in attendance. lifting lockdown — a day to go until covid restrictions are relaxed further in england, we ask is business ready to open up again?

the first, but rachel blackmore says she won't be the last — a historic moment as blackmore becomes the first woman to win the grand national, riding ii—i shot minella times. and it is another cold day across the uk. further wintry showers are expected, but there will be some sunshine around too. it's sunday, 11th april. our top story: a service of remembrance is being held at canterbury cathedral this morning in memory of the duke of edinburgh. it will be live—streamed on social media and lead by the archbishop, justin welby, who is also expected to officiate at prince philip's funeral next saturday. we're joined now from windsor by our royal correspondent sarah campbell. sarah, what do we know about the special service today? as you say, 10:30am this morning at

canterbury cathedral, it is a ticketed event, so not for people to turn up. those tickets have sold out. it will be live streamed so people can come here and see what the archbishop of canterbury, as you say, he is giving the sermon. the details of what will happen next week has been released. there is a lot of activity outside the castle today with scaffolding fans turning up, broadcast team setting up. the funeral will happen next saturday at three o'clock in the afternoon. it will be a ceremonial royal funeral, not a state funeral. we were told by the palace that are very much reflects the wishes of the duke. it will celebrate and reflect a lack of service. it will happen entirely with the confines of the walls of

windsor castle. it will be broadcast on television so people can see what is going on to allow as many people as possible to be part of this service without actually having to be here, because you won't see anything from here. this is a large fan coming, a scaffolding service. people clearly do want to get involved. i have been at windsorfor the last couple of days, was at buckingham palace on friday and lots and lots of people, despite official guidance not to come along, not leave flowers or messages, people have felt compelled to do so. prince charles give a very moving tribute on behalf of the family yesterday where he talked about how grateful the family were at this difficult time for all those kind messages and tributes to people have made. i can imarine, tributes to people have made. i can imagine. and _ tributes to people have made. i can imagine. and we — tributes to people have made. i can imagine, and we are _ tributes to people have made. i can imagine, and we are so _ tributes to people have made. i can imagine, and we are so deeply touched — imagine, and we are so deeply touched by the number of other people — touched by the number of other people here and elsewhere around the world and _ people here and elsewhere around the world and in the commonwealth who also i _

with the relationship between lex greensill, used to work as an unpaid adviser to david cameron, and cameron became a paid adviser to lex greensill after he stood per minister. there are questions over how david cameron has used his influence to supports lex greensill influence to supports lex greensill in lobbying. the sunday times today has details of another lobbying effort, this time with the health secretary, backed hancock. he went for a private drink with david cameron and lex greensill. some trusts have since chosen to use the 3pp trusts have since chosen to use the app that he was trying to persuades the nhs to use to pay doctors and nurses. the department of health stresses that it was up to local

trusts to decide if they used this system of payment or not. mr greensill and mr cameron have not yet commented. it is part of political life that there will be companies and charities and pressure groups that will try to lobby government to. this particular case is raising questions about the transparency around all of this, about how those contacts are made. thank you for now. sir richard sutton died on wednesday and a woman in her 605 were seriously injured in an incident in a property near gillingham. thomas schreiber has been charged with murder, attempted murder and dangerous driving and is due before magistrates tomorrow. former reality tv star nikki grahame

has died. her death was announced by friends on a fundraising —— fundraising campaign page, which had raised £65,000 forfans fundraising campaign page, which had raised £65,000 for fans to watch a recovery. thousands of people have been evacuated from the eastern caribbean island of st vincent after a volcano sent a cloud of ash and smoke high into the air. the prime minister said evacuees had been temporarily housed on cruise ships and on safer parts of the island. residents in barbados, nearly 200 kilometres to the east, have been urged to stay indoors because of the ash cloud. windsor castle is where the duke of edinburgh spent his final days and, despite the use of many royal properties, both he and the queen have long considered it to be their home. ahead of prince philip's funeral next weekend, our reporter danjohnson has been to meet some of those who live and work in the town as they prepare for the eyes of the world to, once again, fall upon them. windsor is royal, and the royals are windsors. it's a uniquely close connection

that goes back nearly 1,000 years. the strongest link is with the queen and the duke, who've considered this their home. the town was to be congratulated, the queen said, on its wholehearted cooperation. the duke would come out every morning and he'd come out of one of the side gates of the castle on his carriage with his grooms. louise has lived opposite the castle for a decade. everybody would bid him good morning. ten o'clock on the dot, every day. and he would, you know, out of great courtesy, always say good morning to everybody too, and thenjoin the long walk and go off on his ride. it was originally built in 1532 and it is where anne boleynj and her court stayed prior- to her marriage to henry viii. royal history runs right through the town, and that presence is good for business of all kinds. they're brilliant neighbours! we have a lot to thank them for, really, especially being - a business owner. it brings the tourists in, - it brings the staycationers in, and it keeps windsor buoyant.

and if armies march on their stomachs, all the queen's horses and all the queen's men have to be kept going. when the royal events are on, you can see the influx into town. it's so busy up there. the business for us ebbs and flows with that. the other day we had the horse guards down here, which was amazing, all the staff were so happy to see all the horses here. yeah, just a really nice sort of atmosphere for what has been a tough time for everyone. get any of the royals in for a coffee? sadly not. i keep trying to send a few memos up there, but no chance. windsor�*s hosted so many major royal events, on occasions sad and happy. and everyone here seems to have felt some of the impact. the royal wedding was just a fantastic few days for us. we have really fond memories. we made a coffee called a megharrycino, where we printed a picture of harry and meghan on a coffee, it went all around the world, every media organisation you could think of wanted

to film it. we were also invited to bake a celebration cake which made its way up to the castle, great fun for our chefs. we got a nice letter in return. we're really proud of the connection with the royal family, and as a small business it allows us to have a bit of fun and do something different as well. i suppose some people could complain about the congestion and the people and the paparazzi and so on. but actually, we draw the positives from it. we absolutely love having this festival and so on whenever there's a wedding or anything. there's definitely a buzz in the air. we're really living history right now. j i mean, first of all, - we live in the pandemic, and then second of all, _ now we're experiencing the death of one of our most - historic figures, really. you sometimes see the queen go down in the car, which is quite nice. i suppose you don't realise it's happening until you look again and go, there she is. i think this was always one of their most favourite places anyway, the queen and the duke of edinburgh.

i think it has got a special place in their hearts. and in a way i'm glad that he's having the funeral here because i think that's going to, if he could look down, he would think, "that's what i wanted." when we have had a royal wedding, the town changed up a gear- and there was a real conviviality - and everybody got on with each other and tried to help each other to get through all the road closures - and various other things. and i think right now we're seeing the opposite of that. _ which is, you know, - a much more sombre mood, very respectful, very peaceful. it's really busy here, but it is really quiet, j and it's calm. and now this town is remembering another life of long service, amd its residents are preparing to mark another moment in royal history, albeit under the constraints of current circumstances. danjohnson, bbc news, windsor. the duke of edinburgh retained a passion for sailing throughout his life after serving with the royal navy

in the mediterranean and the pacific in the second world war. prince philip was admiral of the the royal yacht squadron club in cowes on the isle of wight and regularly attended the annual sailing regatta. peter nicholson is the clubs former commodore and raced against the duke many times. good morning to you. i wonderfirst about how you will remember as a joke. i about how you will remember as a 'oke. . about how you will remember as a 'oke. , ., , ., about how you will remember as a 'oke. , .,, ., ., ., joke. i will remember him as a good natural sailor— joke. i will remember him as a good natural sailor and _ joke. i will remember him as a good natural sailor and an _ joke. i will remember him as a good natural sailor and an interesting - natural sailor and an interesting chap to talk to about sailing. we knew what he was talking about. when he got into a boat he was a natural, he got into a boat he was a natural, he took the helm without any trouble. he learnt to sail as a young boy, doing a lot of sailing at school, sailed at dartmouth and the navy. it was part of his life. iloathed navy. it was part of his life. what was he like _ navy. it was part of his life. what was he like as _ navy. it was part of his life. what was he like as a _ navy. it was part of his life. what was he like as a competitor? - navy. it was part of his life. what l was he like as a competitor? well, he was a pretty _ was he like as a competitor? well, he was a pretty competitive - was he like as a competitor? well, he was a pretty competitive jab, i he was a pretty competitive jab, watson t. when he raced, which wasn't that often because he didn't have the time, but when he did he

occasionally at other times. in the early days when he had more time to himself, he would come down to the hamble river and go out for a sail on her with the sailing master and the other hand is employed to look after her. i the other hand is employed to look after her. . ., ., ,~' the other hand is employed to look after her. . ., ., ., after her. i wanted to ask about cowes week. — after her. i wanted to ask about cowes week, we _ after her. i wanted to ask about cowes week, we know - after her. i wanted to ask about cowes week, we know it - after her. i wanted to ask about cowes week, we know it is - after her. i wanted to ask about cowes week, we know it is one | after her. i wanted to ask about i cowes week, we know it is one of after her. i wanted to ask about - cowes week, we know it is one of the highlights of the sailing calendar, huge regatta. it takes a lot of work, a lot of organisation to put together. prince philip got actively involved in that.— together. prince philip got actively involved in that. very much so. when he was commodore _ involved in that. very much so. when he was commodore of— involved in that. very much so. when he was commodore of royal - involved in that. very much so. when he was commodore of royal yacht i he was commodore of royal yacht squadron club, and racing his figures yacht, bloodhound. after bluebottle they bought a 60 foot ocean sailing boat that was built in the 19305 and had a successful racing career, when he got more involved in cowes week in that way he realised that it was quite a

complicated business simply sailing in cowes week, because it wasn't a one—week regatta run by one organisation, but six or seven different regattas all being run by a different yacht club. furthermore, each of the yacht clubs that ran part of the week at their own starting lines. when you entered for cowes week, you didn't enter one regatta you entered six or seven different regattas, meaning you needed to have six or seven different sets of racing instructions, you had to know where the starting line is where. it must have been a nightmare, particularly forforeign have been a nightmare, particularly for foreign visitors have been a nightmare, particularly forforeign visitors she have been a nightmare, particularly for foreign visitors she hadn't been there before. prince philip realise this needed reorganisation 90 put pressure on the authorities to sort it out. when he says, get this sorted, people take notice! because of his influence, in the 19605, it was reorganised. one committee was

put together to take responsibility for it. they had all the racing starting from the same starting line and had just one programme for the whole week, which made things very much more simple and he is well remembered in cowes is the man who sorted out cowes week.— sorted out cowes week. peter, thank ou for sorted out cowes week. peter, thank you for sharing _ sorted out cowes week. peter, thank you for sharing some _ sorted out cowes week. peter, thank you for sharing some of— sorted out cowes week. peter, thank you for sharing some of your - you for sharing some of your thoughts. peter nicholson, former corridor of the royal yacht squadron club. prince philip attended gordonstoun in scotland and maintained links with the school throughout his adult life. current students say they remember the duke as someone who inspired them to reach their full potential, both academically and outside the classroom. gordonstoun headteacher lisa kerrjoins us now. good morning, lee said. his links to the school date back many years. talk to us about the influence and involvement he has had with the school over the years.—

classroom. we know that great exam results are the ticket to a higher education and so many other areas of life, but gordonstoun was deliberately put between the mountains and the sea and the moray firth which is close to us was described as his great schoolmaster. we want to be out on the hills come out on the sea, learning resilience. it is incredibly important for developing character. the other thing particularly important about gordonstoun is service to others. from the foundation of the schools, it was determined that we would be a school that would be of service to others. prince philip was head boy at gordonstoun, but we can call it that we called the guardian. that word sums up that as pupils we are of service to others and that is not

just within the school but outside the school. prince philip was a member of the watchers, one of our first community services, and a precursor to the local coastguard. even today our students are involved in service in the community. if you dial 999 here you could well have gordonstoun students come in with our own fire engine to help respond to an emergency. irate our own fire engine to help respond to an emergency-— to an emergency. we have been lookin: to an emergency. we have been looking at _ to an emergency. we have been looking at some _ to an emergency. we have been looking at some pictures - to an emergency. we have been looking at some pictures of- to an emergency. we have been looking at some pictures of the l to an emergency. we have been - looking at some pictures of the duke when he was at the school. i wonder how much the school has changed since the duke was there. obviously, like all schools _ since the duke was there. obviously, like all schools we _ since the duke was there. obviously, like all schools we have _ since the duke was there. obviously, like all schools we have modernised l like all schools we have modernised a lot. the boarding house is extremely comfy these days. the fundamental ethos of the school remains the same, that we impel the young people into a broad range of experiences and we have a diversity of students. even when prince philip

was here he was learning alongside local children from incredibly different backgrounds from him. that learning from people who are different to g, facing challenges alongside people different from you, does help to build character. it was very much the inspiration for the duke of edinburgh award. ieiiii very much the inspiration for the duke of edinburgh award. tell us a little bit about _ duke of edinburgh award. tell us a little bit about the _ duke of edinburgh award. tell us a little bit about the marvellous - little bit about the marvellous painting you have behind you. it is ”oreous. painting you have behind you. it is gorgeous- it _ painting you have behind you. it is gorgeous- it is _ painting you have behind you. it 3 gorgeous. it is one of the favourite portraits by her majesty —— of her majesty the queen. it is painted in 1949 and chose prince philip as a young lieutenant. given that is from 1949 we can see that this is the man with whom her majesty fell in love. what a wonderful way to end the interview. thank you so much for talking to us this morning, lisa.

we may be well into april but some of us have been seeing snow in recent days. for some it is a completely new experience. here's honey, bbc weather presenter simon king's dog, playing in the snow this morning. here's tomasz with a look at this morning's weather. that is a lovely picture. it is april. personally, for me, all of this snow is not for me. i would prefer something warmer, especially with the restrictions being eased tomorrow. i think you will need your thick coats and there will still be some snow lying on the ground tomorrow morning. as far as today is concerned we will keep saying these wintry showers falling in places, in parts of northern ireland, scotland, yorkshire and around the manchester area, where simon's dog was having fun in the snow. temperatures still around freezing or so, so anything

falling out of the sky will fall on that frozen ground and will settle. out in the hills and mountains it does look like a winter wonderland, with this arctic air in place across the uk. it is deep arctic air right to the atmosphere that has allowed the snow showers to form, and for that snow to settle on the ground. temperatures today will struggle, 8 degrees the maximum. there will be some sunshine around, as well. there will be a subtle change in the weather over the next few days. a weather over the next few days. a weather front will try to sneak in. that will bring light rain, sleet and snow to wales. there could be some snow lying in those areas tomorrow morning. that cold air is still very much with us. it is a bulge of cold air coming in out of the arctic. around the periphery you can see a bit of less cold air trying to sneak back in again. you

can see where the air is coming from, from the site, turning right across ireland, and that is what is heading our way tomorrow. it is only slightly milder air, so temperatures may be up to 11 celsius, whereas northern and eastern areas are still closer to the colder air stream from the arctic. here is the weather map for tuesday. the arctic. here is the weather map fortuesday. high the arctic. here is the weather map for tuesday. high pressure across the uk. you would think settled conditions, but we are expecting april showers to form in this area of high pressure, mostly in the northern half of the uk. tuesday will be a mixed bag, but temperatures recovering a little bit. will they recover any further? yes, we think to an extent up to around 14 degrees, suggesting to the mid—teens for some of us. at the thinking is the wind will shift direction again and come back from a cold source for the end of the week and back down we go again. from tomorrow, we will still be seeing

the thick coats. that snow will not go in a hurry, not for another day in some areas. non—essential shops in england will reopen tomorrow for the first time in more than three months. they will be overcome with people bringing back christmas presents! i know i have some. most shops have extended the period that you can do that, but do check the small print. it's a big moment for staff who have been on furlough and away from friends and colleagues. nina has been taking a look at how businesses in bolton are preparing to pull up their shutters and welcome back customers.

open the doors! switch on the lights. the whole team is here. nice to see you all. how has lockdown been? it is good to be back. what is it like being back and catching up? it is absolutely fantastic. it is brilliant to see faces and finding out what their experiences have been through lockdown. you don't realise how much you miss the banter until you are away and not seeing people every day. just getting together and having a laugh and a joke as a relief, to be honest. natalie and barry worked together for 19 years, sharing big nights out, problems on the shop floor and those important moments. she just congratulated us on the birth of one of my granddaughters.

so that is good. we have a good relationship. it is like a family. very much so. lisa and anna have, between them, 60 years of experience at this firm. what is it like to see everybody in the flesh? it has been lovely today. everyone has a big smile and they are happy to be back and we are waiting for customers to arrive now and that will be even better. it feels like a long time coming we are excited to open the doors again and welcome customers back to shop with us. ah yes, the c—word. have you missed customers? be honest. we do have some really lovely and loyal customers. the best thing about a day at work here is where you meet somebody for the first time and you have a good conversation and you almost forget what you were doing and you just chat about holidays and where you live and where they have been

and that kind of stuff. it is therapeuticjust having a chinwag. but with physical shields and barriers, things will be different. do you think you can still have that intimate experience? i know we can because we had it after the previous lockdown. once we have gone through the covid security, it was a lovely experience for everyone. everyone was friendly and warm and just as exciting as it has always been. are you concerned that consumer behaviour will have changed, that people will not necessarily be as keen to come into a store? what we see is that we have a touchy—feely product. the previous lockdowns, whenever we have reopened there has been a sense of people wanting to get back out and back onto the high street and the shops and we have seen a spike in business after the lockdowns so we hope the same will happen again this time. if you are hitting the high street, enjoy it. who are the biggest gossips in store? that would be telling.

is that because it is you? we do all like to have a chat. as much as they will enjoy seeing you, and each other. good luck to everybody working in retail. i have seen a few signs and, please be considerate for people working in shops because there will be new systems. there will be longer queues, mask wearing. a really big day for hospitality and retail. and things like hairdressers, as well. and things like hairdressers, as well. still to come on breakfast, 'ma rainey�*s black bottom' has won two prizes on the first night of the baftas. we'll find out who is in the running for more awards this evening. let's have a look at what the weekend newspapers are looking at.

grew closer and he was held by the fact that his parents were together during the pandemic. prince philip had retired from public life in 2017 and was spending a lot of time in sandringham but because he and the queen had to isolate and when so it's meant they were together and the children were in contact. he was grateful that he went to visit his father in hospital. in grateful that he went to visit his father in hospital.— grateful that he went to visit his father in hospital. in the sign we have details _ father in hospital. in the sign we have details emerging _ father in hospital. in the sign we have details emerging about i father in hospital. in the sign we have details emerging about the | have details emerging about the funeral next saturday at three o'clock. talk us through where the procession will take place and what it will look like. it procession will take place and what it will look like.— it will look like. it will be a ro al it will look like. it will be a royal funeral _ it will look like. it will be a royal funeral like - it will look like. it will be a royal funeral like no - it will look like. it will be a royal funeral like no other| it will look like. it will be a - royal funeral like no other because covid restrictions are putting a limit on numbers and 30 people will be there and borisjohnson has pulled out. the coffin will be conveyed from the state entrance

prince harry will come back and will have to quarantine but will be able to take part in the funeral. we will not see public displays of hugging and kissing and making up, notjust because of the circumstances but this will be very formal and rather more reserved occasion. the mirror outs it more reserved occasion. the mirror puts it well — more reserved occasion. the mirror puts it well seeing _ more reserved occasion. the mirror puts it well seeing united _ more reserved occasion. the mirror puts it well seeing united in - more reserved occasion. the mirror puts it well seeing united in grief i puts it well seeing united in grief and when — puts it well seeing united in grief and when it comes to the procession for the _ and when it comes to the procession for the funeral brothers will be walking — for the funeral brothers will be walking together and that may be reminiscent of the scenes that unfolded — reminiscent of the scenes that unfolded in 1997 when they both walked — unfolded in 1997 when they both walked behind the coffin of princess diana _ walked behind the coffin of princess diana at— walked behind the coffin of princess diana at a _ walked behind the coffin of princess diana at a young age. and there is a sense _ diana at a young age. and there is a sense from — diana at a young age. and there is a sense from the notion that people are upset— sense from the notion that people are upset there are these tensions not least _ are upset there are these tensions not least at this terrible time for the queen when clearly she wants her family— the queen when clearly she wants her family to _ the queen when clearly she wants her family to be _ the queen when clearly she wants her family to be reunited and united. harry— family to be reunited and united. harry is— family to be reunited and united. harry is over and meghan is not coming — harry is over and meghan is not coming on _ harry is over and meghan is not coming on the advice of doctors because — coming on the advice of doctors because she is heavily pregnant and will remain— because she is heavily pregnant and will remain in los angeles. i think there _ will remain in los angeles. i think there will— will remain in los angeles. i think there will still be this running theme — there will still be this running

it's hard to even comprehend it right now, to be honest, it hasn't even sunk in. the aintree grand national is the first race as a kid that would have caught my imagination or sparked my interest. to finish with your head in front is just beyond belief. as well as tributes at aintree, football clubs across the uk also paid their respects to prince philip. players and officials wore black armbands at all english premier league matches, and moments of silence were observed at all league matches in england, wales and scotland. tributes were also paid in both codes of rugby — there was a two—minute silence before england women's six nations match in italy, and a pause for reflection before rugby league's challenge cup matches. in the premier league, manchester city's lead at the top of the table could be cut to 11 points this afternoon if rivals manchester united win at tottenham —

that's one of four matches today. it's after city suffered a surprise 2—1 defeat at home to leeds — who played the whole of the second half with ten men. stuart dallas with the winner in stoppage time. chelsea have moved into the top four after a comprehensive 4—1win over crystal palace, christian pulisic scoring twice for thomas tuchel�*s side. liverpool are two points behind chelsea in fifth. trent alexander—arnold with an stunning injury time winner as liverpool beat aston villa 2—1, to secure their first league win this year. celtic recorded their biggest scottish premiership win of the season as they thrashed livingston 6—0 at home. there were wins too for motherwell, dundee united and aberdeen. and, although they didn't play yesterday, results elsewhere ensured hearts will be playing top flight football at tynecastle next season. they're winners of the scottish championship title after relegation from the premiership a year ago. japan's hideki matsuyama is the man to catch heading into the final round of the masters in augusta.

he shot a bogey—free round of 65 to move four shots clear at the top of the leaderboard as he aims to win his first major. englishmanjustin rose had led at the start of play — but an even par round of 72 meant he'll start the round tied for second. i didn't play well enough today, simple as that, really, so i think all in all to have a shot tomorrow i'm delighted. i've been playing with the lead the whole week and obviously an hour of golf with hideki has moved out in front so all the guys chasing at seven under par

are all capable of that little run that hideki's had so it's all up for grabs tomorrow. england remain on course for a third straight women's six nations title. they're into the final in this year's shortened tournament. after scoring eight tries against scotland last week, england went one better against italy — running in nine tries in a 67—3 win. ireland also thrashed wales 45—nil in their first pool game. english interest in this year's european champions cup is over after exeter and sale were both beaten in the last eight. despite a fast start, defending champions exeter lost at home to pro 14 winners leinster by 39 points to 22. sale meanwhile lost at la rochelle. st helens are through to the quarter finals of rugby leagues' challenge cup after a 26—18 victory over last years winners leeds. tommy makinson scored two of their trys to see them through. they'll play either leigh or huddersfield in the next round. catalans, salford and hull fc also went through yesterday. great britain will have 15 boats racing in the finals

at the european rowing championships in italy today. seven boats out of ten qualified for their 'a' finals yesterday — the women's lightweight pair of imogen grant and emily craig were one of three british crews who won their semi. helen glover was also among them. the finals will be live on bbc two from one o'clock today; the earlier races will be shown on the red button and iplayer. a button and iplayer. number of sporting occasions v be a number of sporting occasions will be affected next week by the funeral. the six nations and the fa cup. more details will emerge through the week on that one. congratulations to rachel blackmore once again for that astonishing grand national victory. ma rainey�*s black bottom picked up two prizes at last night's bafta ceremony.

the awards are being split over two days for the first time and the remaining catagories will be announced tonight. nomadland and rocks lead the nominations with seven each, and all the winners will be giving their speeches remotely, due to covid restrictions. here's our entertainment correspondent colin paterson. the bafta film awards are back at the royal albert hall tonight, but things will be very different from usual. hello, baftas. no packed red carpet, the audience will be virtual, and for the first time the awards are being given out over two nights. yesterday the winners of eight technical categories were announced in a one—hour tv programme. ma rainey�*s black bottom starring viola davis as a 19205 blues singer was the only double winner, picking up costume design and hairand make—up. prince william, the president of bafta, was scheduled to appear

at both nights of the awards but pulled out after the death of the duke of edinburgh, who was bafta's president and a regular at the events. i warn you this is going to be like one or two film premieres that i have been to. where you are going to discover that the introductory items will turn out to be much more entertaining and amusing than the main feature. tonight, the remaining 18 awards will be given out. two films lead the way with seven nominations. there's nomadland, with frances mcdormand as a woman who has lost everything, driving through the us in a van. no, i'm not homeless. i'm just houseless. don't worry about me, i'm ok. and rocks.

last night this independent british film won the casting bafta. its star, bukky bakray, had never acted when she was asked to take part. now she's beaten carey mulligan and kate winslet to a best actress nomination. how's your mum doing? yeah, she's fine. and at a q&a session, bukky revealed that before rocks was filmed the cast took part in workshops and a drama school. one of the visiting speakers was her now fellow nominee, alfre woodward. alfre, she won't remember, but she did a talk at rada and she planted a seed in my head. she was just so wonderful. girl! oh, my god! that was you on screen. you are all that.

the black panthers are formingl a rainbow coalition of oppressed brothers and sisters of every colour. i this year's baftas are the most diverse in history, with 16 out of 24 acting nominees coming from ethnic minorities. this year's baftas are the most diverse in history, with 16 out of 24 acting nominees coming from ethnic minorities. i was just saying i would love this establishment to split the difference. it is the first time four females have been nominated for best director, including promising young woman's director, emerald fennell. thank you for being so patient. this change has happened because nominees are chosen by small committees rather than the full bafta membership. and the winner is...jack

nicholson for chinatown. our winners this evening will have to give their acceptance speeches on zoom. well, it looks as though tonight is technology night. so here is a challenge — be as entertaining as jack nicholson when he won a bafta in 1975 and appeared via satellite from the set of one flew over the cuckoo's nest. it's smashing to have been chosen best actor by the society this year for my performance in chinatown. i would like to thank madam president and the rest of the members of the society for this great honour. i wish that i could be with you there in the albert hall, but as you can see i have been institutionalised. excuse me for interrupting, but mr nicholson has to come with me now. thank you. that's how to do it. we're joined now by film critic rhianna dhillon, who co—hosted the baftas last night. looking back on baftas and baftas to

present it looks like the same challenges will exist for those receiving their awards tonight, how to make it meaningful and memorable. we we had our really nice speech last night from the special effects winner. . last night from the special effects winner. , ., ., winner. the film is all done in reverse which _ winner. the film is all done in reverse which is _ winner. the film is all done in reverse which is how - winner. the film is all done in reverse which is how he - winner. the film is all done in i reverse which is how he accepted winner. the film is all done in - reverse which is how he accepted the award _ reverse which is how he accepted the award. he _ reverse which is how he accepted the award. , ., reverse which is how he accepted the award. ,., ., . reverse which is how he accepted the award. _, . . .~' , reverse which is how he accepted the award. ,., ., . a , ., award. he did some magic trickery on award. he did some magic trickery on a beach somewhere _ award. he did some magic trickery on a beach somewhere and _ award. he did some magic trickery on a beach somewhere and flipped - award. he did some magic trickery on a beach somewhere and flipped up i a beach somewhere and flipped up from the ground. perhaps there will be some of that. i'm quite looking forward to seeing how inventive the nominees will get. pond forward to seeing how inventive the nominees will get.— forward to seeing how inventive the nominees will get. and amazing range of films in the — nominees will get. and amazing range of films in the most _ nominees will get. and amazing range of films in the most diverse _ nominees will get. and amazing range of films in the most diverse range i of films in the most diverse range of films in the most diverse range of nominees ever. do you think last year with lockdown and people accessing different kinds of films has really helped that? absolutely. i think so has really helped that? absolutely. i think so many _ has really helped that? absolutely. i think so many films _ has really helped that? absolutely. i think so many films have - has really helped that? absolutely. i think so many films have cleared l i think so many films have cleared the way. i think a bigger audience can find smaller independent films

the actor working hard this year with the sound of metal which is a french—canadian film and he doesn't uses british accent in that. apart from her really special the sound effects are because the use all of this amazing microphone is that they put inside his body and all the rest of it, it's also kind of opening up to our non—healing community. we have deaf actors on screen and that is so much authenticity in that film from a community that we don't often get to see on screen. i am from a community that we don't often get to see on screen.— get to see on screen. i am looking forward to — get to see on screen. i am looking forward to seeing _ get to see on screen. i am looking forward to seeing that. _ get to see on screen. i am looking forward to seeing that. if - get to see on screen. i am looking forward to seeing that. if there i get to see on screen. i am looking forward to seeing that. if there isl forward to seeing that. if there is one film you would say to our audience make the time to watch it, what would it be? that audience make the time to watch it, what would it be?— what would it be? that are so hard. i think what would it be? that are so hard. ithinkjudas — what would it be? that are so hard. i thinkjudas and _ what would it be? that are so hard. i thinkjudas and the _ what would it be? that are so hard. i thinkjudas and the black- what would it be? that are so hard. i thinkjudas and the black messiah | i thinkjudas and the black messiah and promising young, woman but if you haven't seen rocks this is the

epitome of what british cinema can do and the ripple it can have and i am really rooting for the lead actors tonight.— let's ta ke let's take a final look this morning at the weather. a little dose of winter again. at the weather. a little dose of winteragain. some at the weather. a little dose of winter again. some of us are waking up winter again. some of us are waking up to a dusting or even a covering of snow. wintry doesn't always mean your —— pure snow. you can see where the showers have been around manchester earlier on. on the hills

some clear it does look like a winter wonderland and you can see temperatures within the last hour around freezing is that snow is staying on the ground but when the sun comes out most of it will melt away but out in the hills it can stick around for quite some time. predominantly bright if not sunny weather for many of us today, occasionally with these wintry showers coming in carrying on that still pretty chilly wind blowing out of the north. 5 degrees in aberdeen, six in newcastle, barely touching nine or ten in the southern towns and cities. overnight it will be cold enough for some wintry conditions in the east and thus weather fronts the in and that could bring a little dose of snow for parts of wales and may be the midlands as well and possibly into the peak district. you can see over to note temperatures still around freezing or below, the coldest in scotland at around four below. this is into monday and around it we have

this area of slightly less cold air coming back and into the area of cold airfrom the coming back and into the area of cold air from the north. this coming back and into the area of cold airfrom the north. this is it here, this weather front has snuck in and ever so slightly milder air which will bring cloud, bits and pieces of rain to some western areas on monday but the vast majority of us are still on for a pretty sunny day and those temperatures are a couple of degrees higher on monday, may be making 11 degrees they are in plymouth. other temperatures going to rise over the coming days? high pressure is in charge and it will be settled. this is the forecast map for tuesday and i think the best of the weather will be in the south with lighter winds and temperatures will bump up a little bit and the northern half of the uk with a bit of a mixed bag and showers forming from northern wales on tuesday and the temperatures will continue to rise widely into double figures across the uk but not very high up,

may be 13 or 14 they are. it looks as though thursday, friday and into the weekend it is looking dry but surely so in summery if you want to enjoy the easing of the lockdown tomorrow somewhere in a big garden, outdoor restaurants, i think you will need your court. there are some good advice. —— i think you will need your court. for almost 65 years, the duke of edinburgh award' has been helping to shape and inspire the lives of millions of young people. now the charity is asking anyone who's been involved across the decades to share their experiences in celebration of the duke's legacy. jack bayley and danny furphy are among those who say the award helped turn their lives around. they join us now.
