from the pandemic. it's really simple for people, they need to just vote for the liberal democrats if they want to stop all this nonsense. the liberal democrats don't see themselves as the next scottish government, or even partners in a coalition, but the way the electoral system works here, it's really difficult for any party to get an overall majority, so the smaller parties can sometimes get some of their priorities implemented. sarah smith, bbc news, edinburgh. there will be elections to the welsh parliament, the senedd, on the same day as those in scotland, and today the welsh lib dems also launched their manifesto. their leader, jane dodds, pledged to put post—pandemic recovery first by freezing business rates and by creating a £500 million welsh towns fund. we want to make sure that we support our high streets and our small businesses. we want to abolish business rates and have a much more different model.

on mental health, we want a 24/7 mental health service. for our carers, we want to make sure they have a living wage, and we want better working conditions for them. and finally, on the planet, we want to make sure that there is a better—funded approach to our planet, and to make sure that we address climate change here in wales. let's return to windsor tonight, on the eve of the duke of edinburgh's funeral, and our correspondent daniela relph. daniela, more details havejust been announced? daniela, more details have “ust been announced? . �* , daniela, more details have “ust been announced.— daniela, more details have “ust been announced?— announced? that's right, reeta, we now have details _ announced? that's right, reeta, we now have details of _ announced? that's right, reeta, we now have details of the _ announced? that's right, reeta, we now have details of the funeral - now have details of the funeral service, much of which has been planned by the duke of edinburgh himself, and there are some personal touches. it is a traditional service and buckingham palace say that in line with many royal funerals, there will not be a eulogy, nor will any members of the royal family deliver a reading. the service will be led by the dean of windsor, who will pay tribute to the duke of edinburgh's
