00:00I'm here at Durham Cathedral for the arrival of the King and Queen or the Mourn Deer service and as you can see out on the Palace Green here we've already got large crowds which are gathering.
00:30Oh my god the King is walking around for the screen. It's just amazing.
00:39Ok so I'm looking forward to seeing the King and Queen today then?
00:43I've been buzzing since it was first announced you know that the King and the Queen would be coming to Durham and Maria got in touch with me and we've got to go you know.
00:56I left over quarter to four this morning. Maria left about quarter past half four.
01:03Are you a big fan of the Royal Family as well?
01:05I'm a big fan of the Royal Family. I think it was all the big events and I camped out for the King's coronation.
01:13It was wonderful. He came to see where the name from his coronation with that breath you know for all his support.
01:19And for him to come to the region it's just amazing.
01:22Is it even more important than your support concerning what a Tophia the King's had?
01:26Most definitely.
01:27Oh very nervous. Yeah.
01:28He's been very open and honest about it as has happened.
01:33And just to show his support and let them know how much they need us.
01:38You know to get them know that even though we don't know each other personally that we're thinking of him and his family and what they're all going through.
01:49Because it doesn't just affect the person that's got the illness.
01:53It affects the entire family and you know we just want to be here and give our support.
01:59Okay so you all excited to see the King Queen today?
02:02Can't wait. Just really excited. Really good day for Durham.
02:05And why do you think it was so important to come along today to show your support?
02:08I think just to cheer him on. I think he's had a really tough year with his illness and I think he's doing a great job.
02:17And what's the Cogies now?
02:19Little bit.
02:20And when did you get her?
02:21her majesty Queen Elizabeth.
02:23Because it was 18 months ago.
02:51I don't know.
04:21Okay, then Eve, did you get a chance to speak to the King?
04:23Yeah, I did.
04:23And what did he ask you?
04:25He asked me how's school and I replied, I think it's great.
04:30And then he also asked me, do I play an instrument?
04:33I was very happy to say, yes, I do.
04:35I play a flute and I just passed my grade two.
04:39Is it a day you remember for the rest of your life?
04:41It's absolutely.
04:43I'll always remember it.
04:44It's such a privilege.
04:45It's such a privilege.
