two of the duke of edinburgh's sons have paid emotional tributes to their father after attending a service to remember him, held at a royal chapel in windsor. the duke of york likened his father's death to losing "the grandfather of the nation", 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,
3:03 pm
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
3:04 pm
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,
3:05 pm
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. i'm not sure if it struck you but i thought these were very private moments, shared by the suns today, which was unusual.— which was unusual. yeah, it did actually strike _ which was unusual. yeah, it did actually strike me. _ which was unusual. yeah, it did actually strike me. and - which was unusual. yeah, it did actually strike me. and with - which was unusual. yeah, it did | actually strike me. and with the prince of wales last night as well
3:06 pm
when he spoke publicly, we have had rather more than we expected from the family on a very personal level. their memories and how they are coping with the situation that they now found themselves in. it interesting hearing them talk about the fact that this is a very public loss, but for them, the fact that this is a very public loss, but forthem, it's the fact that this is a very public loss, but for them, it's a very intimate, private grief, and they are having to juggle those two aspects. as we saw a little bit in the's report, this morning members of the family did attend a church service in one of the private chapel on the windsor great park estate here. we heard from some of those members of the family, the duke of york and the earl and 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 -
3:07 pm
the grandfather of the nation. and i feel very sorryi and supportive of my i mother, who is feeling it, i think, i 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
3:08 pm
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! so many people the stories and memories of prince philip but not that many actually able to attend the funeral on saturday, presumably most of the people there will be very close family. including prince harry? very close family. including prince har ? , . v very close family. including prince har ? , . 3 ~ very close family. including prince har ? , ., �*, . ., harry? yes, that's right. we have had it confirmed _ harry? yes, that's right. we have had it confirmed that _ harry? yes, that's right. we have had it confirmed that prince - harry? yes, that's right. we havel had it confirmed that prince harry, yesterday we were told that he would be attending the funeral, he will be flying in from the united states and will be here but without his wife meghan, the duchess of sussex, she is pregnant and she has been told by her doctors that she should not fly
3:09 pm
and she will not be coming. because of the numbers, when you topped it up of the numbers, when you topped it up and try and work out who will be on the guest list, you are pretty much down to the family by the time you have done the queen, her children, grandchildren, and a few other members of the wider royal family, you almost get to 30. we can expect to see some of the duke of? personal staff, expect to see some of the duke of? personalstaff, his expect to see some of the duke of? personal staff, his private secretary, his valet, people —— the duke's personal staff, his private secretary, his valet, they will be part of the congregation but also a very tight—knit group and it will be the same experience that so many families have suffered in the past year, having to manage numbers at their own family funerals.— year, having to manage numbers at their own family funerals. thank you ve much their own family funerals. thank you very much indeed. _ there are more questions this lunchtime about former conservative prime minister david cameron's lobbying activities after he left government. it's emerged mr cameron met for a private drink with the health secretary, matt hancock and the financier lex greensill, for whom mr cameron was working. 0ur political correspondent
3:10 pm
helen catt is here. the longer this story goes on, the murkier the activities of lobbyists have become, if not illegal. lobbying in and of itself is not illegal, it is part of politics. many trade unions, pressure groups and people will employ people to try and people will employ people to try and seek influence with government. there are more more details of how david cameron, the former prime minister, this is the difference, used his influence on his contacts to try and further the interests of his employer, greensill. that's run by a man called lex greensill who was formerly an adviser to david cameron as government when he was prime minister. it emerged today further details on the sunday times about a meeting which took place in october 2019 between health secretary lex greensill and david cameron, when david cameron was employed by mr greensill. this was a
3:11 pm
time, they said it was a private drink that they met for, this was a time when mr greensill was trying to get the nhs to use an app he had devised to allow staff to be able to get some of their pay daily rather than having to wait until payday. he had submitted the idea a couple of months prior to this drink. matt hancock had asked officials to look at it and they had looked and said the proposal was good in principle and then some nhs trusts did go on to use it during the pandemic. the questions are around, always with lobbying, how was the access made, what sort of access did you get and how did the person who was being lobbied respond? an ally of matt hancock says he acted entirely appropriately. he said he told officials about business discussions. the department of health said it was up to local nhs employers as to whether or not they used the app and up to them how they paid their stuff. it comes a few days after we saw the chancellor rishi sunak facing days after we saw the chancellor rishi sunakfacing questions days after we saw the chancellor rishi sunak facing questions about his engagement with david cameron. he took a very unusual step on
3:12 pm
thursday and published text messages he had sent to mr cameron. that was after it emerged that mr cameron had contacted him on his personal phone when he was trying to get access to government backed loans for greensill. there is a drip, drip of detail about the scale of the lobbying operation but it is not illegal to lobby and there isn't any suggestion here that this constituted mr cameron breaking the rules in any way. it's just that as you said, no world of lobbying is a little murky. it’s you said, no world of lobbying is a little murky-— little murky. it's also interesting, this is one _ little murky. it's also interesting, this is one issue _ little murky. it's also interesting, this is one issue that _ little murky. it's also interesting, this is one issue that david - little murky. it's also interesting, i this is one issue that david cameron when he was prime minister said would be the next big scandal to affect westminster. but that one side, has he responded to the latest allegations because mckee has refused to comment and we have not heard either from refused to comment and we have not heard eitherfrom lex greensill although a source close to him said the scheme was being offered to the nhs and its employees for free. lilo nhs and its employees for free. iir: response from mr cameron. it's not necessarily he is being accused of

breaking any rules, but there are some growing calls to hear from breaking any rules, but there are some growing calls to hearfrom him and he has put some senior ministers in a very awkward position. find and he has put some senior ministers in a very awkward position. and some of them are — in a very awkward position. and some of them are quite _ in a very awkward position. and some of them are quite genie _ in a very awkward position. and some of them are quite genie when - in a very awkward position. and some of them are quite genie when he - of them are quite genie when he approached them, as a former prime minister. —— some of them were quite junior when he approached them. 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 3a, is due to appear in court tomorrow. 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 twelve 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
3:14 pm
officers and vehicles, and about 90 officers have been injured during the recent incidents. koulla yiasouma said the adults were targeting particularly vulnerable children and encouraging them to take to the streets. 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, that 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,
3:15 pm
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. the headlines on bbc news. members of the 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.

sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's chetam. (1015 nc bulletin) good afternoon. a huge result at the bottom of the premier league with newcastle now six points clear of the relegation zone after a 2—1win at burnley. they came from behind too, trailing with matej vydra scoring from close range for the home side. allan saint maximan inspired newcastle's comeback. he set upjacob murphy to fire them level before he finished off a fine solo effortjust five minutes later to lift steve bruce's side clear of fulham with a game in hand. it's a good time to get three points, of course. and as i've said for weeks now, it's the accumulation of points, what you need, whatever that total is, and we have still got a long way to go. there are still a lot of twists and turns in my opinion because that's what the premier league is. but it was a huge victory for us, yes.
3:17 pm
there are three more matches in the english premier league today. in the race to make the top four, third placed leicester are at west ham, who can return to fourth with a win. the score is currently 3—0. the third goalfrom the third goal from jarrod bowen. they will just be the third goal from jarrod bowen. they willjust be a point behind west ham. later tottenham, also chasing champions league football, take on manchester united. spurs were 6—1winners at old trafford earlier this season, butjose mourinho believes that result was a one—off. i think that 6-1, i think that 6—1, it doesn't reflect the reality. it can happen, of course it can happen. sometimes between two big clubs, these crazy results, they can happen. but they happen in an isolated way. japan's hideki matsuyama is the man to catch heading into the final round of the masters at augusta. he's a superstar in his home country, looking to win his first major and shot a very impressive bogey free round of 65 to move four shots clear
3:18 pm
at the top of the leaderboard. justin rose had led at the start of play but an even par round of 72 means he'll start the round tied for second. ididn't i didn't play well enough today. simple as that, really. i think all in all, to have a shot, i'm delighted. i have been playing within the lead all the week, and there has been an hour of golf when he hideki matsuyama has moved out in front. all of the guys are capable of the little run that he has had so it is all up for grabs. britain's sam bird continues to lead the formula e world championship but couldn't add to his points total after crashing out on the final lap of race two at the rome e prix. bird was taken out by nick de vries on a chaotic final lap that had just resumed after a late safety car. belgium's stoffel vandoorne held off the challengers to claim his first win of the season.
3:19 pm
great britain's impressive showing at the european weightlifting championships has continued with emily campbell picking up gold in the super heavyweight snatch, clean and jerk and combined disciplines. this lift of 154 kilos was enough to secure the win, having already cleared 122 kilos to win the snatch event. britain are sixth in the medal table with five golds and after five years away from the sport, double olympic champion helen glover has marked her competitive return with a gold medal at the european rowing championships in italy. competing alongside team—mate polly swann in the women's pair, they held off a romanian charge in the final 200m to cross the line in first place. glover decided to make a comeback after spending time on a rowing machine during last year's first national lockdown. the mum of three says she's now setting her sights on becoming the first woman to make a british olympic rowing team after having children.
3:20 pm
0ne one big game is by doing this race. far, far more questions will have been asked just by doing one final. next time i start a final, almost everything will be erased that i was thinking today. i was literally thinking, when i make it down the track? and it's silly because i do it in training every day butjust something about racing makes those doubts come to the surface. i've squashed those all, i can move forward and be the athlete i know i am and move on to the athlete i want to be as well. it am and move on to the athlete i want to be as well-— to be as well. it is west ham 3- less than _ to be as well. it is west ham 3- less than l- _ to be as well. it is west ham 3- less than l. i— to be as well. it is west ham 3- less than l. i will— to be as well. it is west ham 3- less than l. i will keep - to be as well. it is west ham 3- less than l. i will keep you - less than l. i will keep you updated. some breaking news is coming here from west midlands police.
3:21 pm
west midlands police have issued an urgent appeal to find the mother of baby found dead on supermarket car park in bilston today. bilston is close to wolverhampton. the police say, we were alerted by a member of the public who made the tragic discovery at the car park of morrisons on the black country route just after 9am. at the moment we do not know when they were born or how they came to be in the car park. they are appealing for information about the mother who is a priority at the moment. 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,
3:22 pm
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. lockdown1 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.
3:23 pm
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. it's notjust pubs and shops.
3:24 pm
