to their father after a service held at a royal chapel in windsor to remember him. the duke of york likened his father's death to losing "the grandfather of the nation", while the the earl of wessex said while the earl of wessex said that while they were still coming to terms with the loss it had been fantastic to have heard the "extraordinary tributes and the memories that everybody has had and been willing to share". earlier, a remembrance service for the duke took place at canterbury cathedral led by the archbishop of canterbury justin welby. our royal correspondent nicholas witchell reports. in church services in front of socially distanced congregations and online, prayers were said for the duke and for the queen and the royal family as they mourn his loss. at canterbury cathedral, a special service of remembrance was led by the archbishop, justin welby.

for his royal highness the duke of edinburgh, there was a remarkable willingness to take the hand he was dealt in life and straightforwardly to follow its call, to search its meaning, to go out and on as sent, to enquire and think, to trust and to pray. britain's former prime minister sir john major came to know the duke in the course of his political duties and through their shared love for cricket. on this morning's andrew marr programme on the bbc, he said the duke's death would leave an enormous gap in the queen's life. when you're facing a sea of problems, as she so often was, and sometimes when you're overwhelmed by what has to be done, someone who understands that, someone who can take that part of the burden, someone who can share the decision—making, someone who can metaphorically, or in the case of prince philip probably literally, put their arms around you and say, "it's not as bad as you think, this is what we have

to do, this is how we can do it, this is what i think". i hope she will be given some time and space. i know she is the monarch. i know she has responsibilities. but she has earned the right to have a period of privacy in which to grieve with her family. and sirjohn said he hoped the duke's funeral would give princes william and harry a chance to mend their differences. the friction that we are told has arisen is a friction better ended as speedily as possible. and a shared emotion, a shared grief at the present time because of the death of their grandfather, i think, is an ideal opportunity. i hope very much that it is possible to mend any rifts that may exist. at the chapel near windsor castle, the duke of york and the wessexes attended morning service and spoke about the queen. she is contemplating, is the way i would put it. she described it as having left

a huge void in her life. but we, the family, the ones that are close, are rallying round to make sure we're there to support her. outside buckingham palace, barriers have been erected around the pavements and stewards have been brought in to discourage people from leaving flowers. but despite their efforts, bouquets are still being placed. nicholas witchell, bbc news. our royal correspondent daniela relph is at windsor castle. that chapel isn't too far away, that's where princess beatrice got married. and unusually for the royal family, quite an intimate insight into what they were feeling, this isn't something they would traditionally explain in such an emotional time.—

traditionally explain in such an emotional time. emotionaltime. yes, absolutely ri . ht. emotionaltime. yes, absolutely right- what _ emotionaltime. yes, absolutely right. what we _ emotionaltime. yes, absolutely right. what we are _ emotionaltime. yes, absolutely right. what we are getting - emotionaltime. yes, absolutely right. what we are getting a - emotional time. yes, absolutely l right. what we are getting a sense of is the idea of a public loss, the death of the duke of edinburgh, but also that personal grief that his children and his wife are feeling. we have now heard from three of his children over the past few days. i think perhaps we are getting more personal insights into their relationship with their father than we have ever had. we had from the prince of wales from his highgrove estate yesterday, and as you say, after church, from one of the private chapels in the grounds of the wider windsor great park here, a little earlier today we had from the duke of york, the earl of wessex and his wife the countess of wessex. he was a remarkable man. i loved him as a father. he was so calm. if you had a problem, he would think about it. and that's the great thing that i always think about, is that he was always someone that you could go to and he would always listen. so it's a great loss. i think the way i would put it is, we've lost almost the grandfather of the nation.

and i feel very sorry and supportive of my mother, who is feeling it, i think, probably, more than everybody else. it's been a bit of a, a bit of a shock. however much one tries to prepare oneself for something like this, it's still a dreadful shock. and so we're just trying to come to terms with that. and it's very, very sad. but i have to say that the extraordinary tributes, and the memories that everyone has had, and have been willing to share, has been so fantastic. and it just goes to show, he might have been our father, grandfather, father—in—law, but he meant so much to so many people. didn't matter what anybody - was doing, in and around the estate here and everywhere else, l they all meant a lot to him. and he always took a very personal interest in - everything that they were doing. so they all have got stories to tell, - and most of them are quite funny as well. l oh, yes, well, because he went

carriage driving around here on a regular basis. but he'd go to places that were quite, you know, all over the place. he got pulled out of a few ditches here, i seem to i remember, as well. well, the early days, yes, he used to have a few problems! no, quite. more recently too! the funeral itself on saturday, only 30 people allowed to attend there. prince harry, we understand, will be attending, and might even arrive as soon as today?— soon as today? yes, that is possible- — soon as today? yes, that is possible. if— soon as today? yes, that is possible. if you _ soon as today? yes, that is possible. if you were - soon as today? yes, that is. possible. if you were looking soon as today? yes, that is - possible. if you were looking into the quarantine rules around his isolation, returning to the uk from the united states, you have to think that if those rules are going to be followed, he needs to be back here in the uk today or tomorrow. so we can expect to see harry perhaps here in windsor for self isolation in the

next 48 hours or so, if not sooner. there will be a lot of attention paid on his relationship with william, how that looks and appears, his return to the family fold, there are undoubtedly tensions, particularly after that interview with 0prah particularly after that interview with oprah winfrey. it will be really interesting and fascinating for so many people, i think, to watch and see how that plays out. i expect we will see very much a united front from the royal family under these circumstances.- united front from the royal family under these circumstances. thank you very much- — the duke was a patron of many charities, including the british heart foundation. their chief executive is doctor charmaine griffiths and shejoins me now. i was noticing, he had been a patron for nearly 60 years, which is a very long period of time. how involved was he? , �* , ~ long period of time. how involved was he? , �* , . ., long period of time. how involved washe? , �* ,% ., _ was he? isn't it “ust? we are deeply roud and was he? isn't itjust? we are deeply proud and privileged _ was he? isn't itjust? we are deeply proud and privileged to _ was he? isn't itjust? we are deeply proud and privileged to have - was he? isn't itjust? we are deeply proud and privileged to have had . proud and privileged to have had prince philip his royal highness as our patron for 60 years. he was with

foundation and give them his thanks. he was fascinated by science and interested in all things scientific and new, in terms of new research projects. did that come across with the british heart foundation? he also had recurring heart problems, in his latter years, as well. {iii in his latter years, as well. of course. in his latter years, as well. of course- i— in his latter years, as well. of course. i was really struck meeting him, meeting with him at one of our annual receptions, his deep curiosity about research. and its power to make breakthroughs to improve treatment and care with semi people living with heart and circulatory problems and diseases. also to see him discussing and reflecting on people's experiences, people who were supporting our fundraising but also heart patients, listening to them with such empathy and making them feel comfortable. you are right, he was deeply curious about the nature of research on the progress that we were making. it's

of months previously. matt hancock had asked officials to look at it, they thought it was good in principle, we are told, and some nhs trusts did then go on to use it. an ally of mr hancock said he acted entirely appropriately, that he told officials about business discussions, the department of health says it was up to local nhs employers to decide how to pay their staff. this comes just days after the chancellor rishi sunak was facing questions about his engagement with david cameron. he took the very unusual step of publishing text messages he had sent to mr cameron after it emerged the former prime minister had messaged his private phone when he was trying to get greensill access to a government backed loan last year. any comment from david cameron himself? so any comment from david cameron himself? ., ., , ., any comment from david cameron himself? ., ., himself? so far he has not commented and neither had _ himself? so far he has not commented and neither had lex _ himself? so far he has not commented and neither had lex greensill- himself? so far he has not commented and neither had lex greensill a - and neither had lex greensill a source close to him said his scheme is offered free to the nhs. mr cameron isn't being accused of breaking any rules with this meeting that there are some unanswered questions, critics who say the rules themselves should be tough and what he had done his put some very senior

ministers in quite an awkward position this week.— ministers in quite an awkward position this week. helen talking to ben brown- — shops, pubs, restaurants, hairdressers and gyms are among businesses making preparations to reopen with the easing of lockdown in england tomorrow. more than 400,000 nonessential shops are expected to open their doors. schools also return in scotland and wales where restrictions about travelling across the border are also lifted and shops can reopen. in northern ireland nonessential retail remains closed but can now operate click and collect services. here's our business correspondent katy austin. getting a shop ready is a big job. here in leamington spa, staff are back from furlough, sorting stock and cleaning. excited, yeah. it's the third time now that we're reopening again, so we just want to get back into it now. lockdowni pushed this lingerie and swimwear chain to the brink. they've since ramped up their online operation and closed some stores for good, but they see monday as hugely important.

we've had lots of calls from customers, which tells us that obviously, lots of customers are wanting to come into shops, but we know that some will want to continue shopping from home for some time. and we're yet to find out exactly how much of that mix is a permanent shift. changing rooms will be open, carefully managed, and bra fittings will be done contact—free. 0ur teams are using the fitting rooms opposite, so rather than actuallyjoining them in the fitting room, they're doing exactly what they would normally do from further apart. people are being encouraged to shop alone and stay socially distanced. bravissimo is confident of opening safely. profitably? not sure. the same goes for pubs, restaurants and cafes, who can only serve outside from tomorrow. three of this chain's sites will open, including this one at liverpool's albert dock. they're fully booked, but it's not worth opening nine others with smaller outdoor areas.

by the time we've got in a team of chefs, someone to wash the pots, a front of house team to make drinks and serve the food and a manager to run the place, we would actually be worse off than we would be by staying closed. so we've only been able to open terraces that have roughly 50 covers or more. like outdoor hospitality, shops and hairdressers are expecting an initial surge in demand. some will extend opening hours. but how much the past year has changed customers' habits permanently is the big unknown. katy austin, bbc news. the headlines on bbc news. members of the royal family have attended church to mourn the loss of the duke of edinburgh. a service of remembrance has been held at canterbury cathedral, led by the archbishop of canterbury, justin welby. and new details have emerged about the scale of uk government lobbying involving former prime minster david cameron.

the children's commissioner for northern ireland says criminal gangs are coercing children during street violence to attempt to destabilise the situation across the country. police say children as young as 12 have been involved in the disorder, which has been breaking out almost nightly for more than a week. bricks, fireworks and petrol bombs have been thrown at lines of police officers and vehicles and about 90 officers have been injured during the recent incidents. and the commissioner koulla yiasouma joins me now. that has been so troubling, worrying and striking, hasn't it, children as young as 12 and i3. and striking, hasn't it, children as young as 12 and 13. the and striking, hasn't it, children as young as 12 and i3. thejustice minister said that because parents or adults were go eating these kids on, it was tantamount to child abuse —— goading these kids on. if that too much of a stretch, or do you

agree with it? i too much of a stretch, or do you agree with it?— agree with it? i certainly agree that these _ agree with it? i certainly agree that these children _ agree with it? i certainly agree that these children and - agree with it? i certainly agree that these children and young | agree with it? i certainly agree - that these children and young people have been criminally co—authored and they have been exploited. i don't think... —— criminally coerced. i don't think these riots would not have happened without the sanction and mandating of criminal actors in those communities. so yes, i would agree that these young people are being exploited and actually more needs to be done to try and keep them safe in order to prevent further unrest on our streets. hose further unrest on our streets. how is it, though. _ further unrest on our streets. how is it, though, that _ further unrest on our streets. how is it, though, that children aged 12 and i3 is it, though, that children aged 12 and 13 are caught up in these gangs? so, it is quite complicated, tim. but i often make the comparison, for a broader audience, but i often make the comparison, for a broaderaudience, of but i often make the comparison, for a broader audience, of county lines in the uk. where sometimes vulnerable and at—risk young people are groomed and dragged into criminal activity. just are groomed and dragged into

criminal activity.— are groomed and dragged into criminal activity. just explain to the viewers. — criminal activity. just explain to the viewers, county _ criminal activity. just explain to the viewers, county lines - criminal activity. just explain to the viewers, county lines are i criminal activity. just explain to i the viewers, county lines are drug mules for criminal gangs, and because of their use, they are exploited because they aren't stopped by police? —— because of the youth? stopped by police? -- because of the outh? , ., ., ,, , youth? yes, that happens particularly _ youth? yes, that happens particularly in _ youth? yes, that happens particularly in england - youth? yes, that happens| particularly in england and youth? yes, that happens - particularly in england and wales, not so much in northern ireland but this is an equivalent for us. where we have criminal adults who use young people and exploit young people. young people who don't always see that they have options, they don't always see that they have choices in their lives, to progress, who are often in communities that have been blighted by poverty, there have been blighted by poverty, there have been blighted by poverty, there have been blighted by inconsistent investment and funding and support services. and they don't always see a choice. so they are dragged into these things. from talking to some of the community workers, particularly last week, we know that young people were instructed to go on the street and they did so and then the adults stepped back and let them get on with it. what i do want

to say is that youth and community workers, the clergy, and other community leaders have actually stepped up with parents and have begun to provide some sort of ring around these young people to be able to protect them. and that, added to the death of prince philip in some communities has meant last night it was relatively peaceful. but we need to keep the effort going to make sure it is peaceful. do to keep the effort going to make sure it is peaceful.— to keep the effort going to make sure it is peaceful. do these kids know what _ sure it is peaceful. do these kids know what they _ sure it is peaceful. do these kids know what they are _ sure it is peaceful. do these kids know what they are doing? - sure it is peaceful. do these kids know what they are doing? do i sure it is peaceful. do these kids i know what they are doing? do they understand, part of it might be to do to brexit, part of it might be to do to brexit, part of it might be to do with the fact that there were no police action taken over a sinn fein funeral attended by hundreds of people? i funeral attended by hundreds of --eole? ~' �* ., people? i think if you're asking me the question. _ people? i think if you're asking me the question, our— people? i think if you're asking me the question, our young _ people? i think if you're asking me the question, our young people i the question, our young people worried about brexit, yes, they are. our young people worried about 0ur young people worried about feeling that their communities are being discriminated against and not

being discriminated against and not being listened to, yes, they are. they also worried about mental health and well—being. they are also worried about poverty, worried about climate change, there are also worried about black lives matter, and they are also worried about keeping safe and violence against women and girls and sexuality education. those are the things that young people in northern ireland being very, very animated and worried about. and they're not mounted —— marching on the streets in these violent ways around other issues. absolutely their concerns are legitimate. but if they were left to their own devices, they would be expressing those concerns in a very different way than they have done in the last few days and hopefully, that it will stop. so, you know, it's not fair to say that they are not worried about these issues, they are. i suppose the difference here is that they are being encouraged and coerced to express that concern, to express

their frustration at living in a world which isn't moving as quickly as they would like to move, in a violent way. and that isn't something that i would experience when talking to them or the youth and community workers would experience when working with them in far more safe and appropriate ways. so a sense of helplessness in their own futures in terms of economically and what they might want to achieve. do you think the police should be more actively involved in the militia leaders themselves, presumably the police will know exactly who these people are, because these young kids will be getting some sort of criminal, well, not record, they will be known to the police because of what they are doing. and as a second thought, the former northern ireland secretary lord hayne said a few hours ago that he thought that the prime minister should address these issues notjust with a tweet but see the problems as well and explain to people there what was going on. what are your thoughts on those issues? i just thoughts on those issues? i 'ust want to caution i

thoughts on those issues? i 'ust want to caution around i thoughts on those issues? i just want to caution around that, - thoughts on those issues? inst want to caution around that, you called the militia. what the police are saying is that there is no evidence that these are what are called paramilitary groups, let's be clear that these are criminals, and criminal gangs, rather than paramilitary actors, according to the police. we need to be clear about that. the way forward, this is, any intervention from anywhere thatis is, any intervention from anywhere that is deemed to be helpful would be great. i suppose what i would say to the british prime minister, if you came to northern ireland, is to go to these communities and talk to the young people and make sure that whatever he hears from them and from their leaders and their advocates, that he follows through in the best way possible. and that we don't want another fly in, fly out. and also to be mindful as we go forward that northern ireland is a very real place, and some of the decisions

that are made at westminster, they have to consider what likely impact there will be on the people of northern and maybe that will be the word of advice i would have to the prime minister. and if he comes, make it real, and notjust a visit for photographs or anything. koulla yiasouma, northern _ for photographs or anything. koulla yiasouma, northern ireland - yiasouma, northern ireland children's commissioner, thank you for speaking to us.— a man has been charged with murdering one of britain's richest men in dorset last week. sir richard sutton was attacked at his home on wednesday. a woman in her 60s, believed to be his partner, was seriously injured in the incident and remains in hospital in a critical condition. thomas schreiber, who's 34, is due to appear in court tomorrow. there's been another eruption from the volcano on the caribbean island of st vincent. after remaining quiet for nearly 42 years, la soufriere first erupted on friday. heavy ashfall has caused power outages and cut off water supplies. scientists warn that eruptions could continue

out there today, there are these wintry showers — sleet, snow, hail as they move through, maybe a rumble of thunder. tending to cloud over in northern ireland. the odd spot into double figures. most places, though, falling well short of that. a hard frost setting in tonight as the wintry showers fade away, leaving the chance of icy patches. we will see a bit of rain or sleet pushing into parts of northern ireland, some sleet and snow then running down towards parts of wales, may be into the midlands, west country, central southern england, to start the day tomorrow. and in the cold air there could be a centimetre or two in places to start the day tomorrow before that sleet and snow clears away from southern england, so maybe a bit icy here. some sunshine though following on behind, but the odd wintry shower around along with that sunshine tomorrow. a few more showers developing into northern ireland on what is going to be another chilly day.
