CAPTION BY JORDAN WAETFORD AND ANNIE CURTIS. CAPTIONS WERE MADE WITH THE SUPPORT OF NZ ON AIR. WWW.ABLE.CO.NZ COPYRIGHT ABLE 2021 NAU MAI, HAERE MAI. WELCOME TO 1 NEWS. PREPARATIONS ARE UNDERWAY FOR THE FIRST ROYAL FUNERAL IN NEARLY TWENTY YEARS. PRINCE PHILIP, THE QUEEN'S HUSBAND AND THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH, HAS DIED AT THE AGE OF 99. THE PRINCE HAD A LONG AND EVENTFUL LIFE, DEVOTING HIS TIME TO A RANGE OF CHARITY ORGANISATIONS AND CAUSES. WE BEGIN WITH OUR EUROPE CORRESPONDENT DANIEL FAITAUA OUTSIDE WINDSOR CASTLE. DANIEL, WHAT'S IT LIKE THERE TODAY? KIA ORA, MELISSA. IT HAS BEEN A VERY REFLECTIVE MOMENT. A SOMBRE MOMENT AND MOVED HERE OUTSIDE WINDSOR CASTLE, AS BRITAIN WAKES UP, THEY PARTAKE IN A FEW DAYS OF A MORNING. THE QUEEN OF COURSE WILL NOT CARRY OUT ANY REAL DUTIES. THE PERSON WHO HAS BEEN THERE TO SUPPORT HER THROUGHOUT HER WHOLE TIME AS HEAD OF STATE IS OF COURSE HER HUSBAND. UNTIL NOW. THE UNION FLAG FLYING AT HALF MAST, AS THE OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE PRINCE'S DEATH IS PLACED ON THE GATES OF BUCKINGHAM PALACE. IT SPOKE OF THE QUEEN'S DEEP SORROW. IT'S BELIEVED SHE WAS AT HIS BEDSIDE WHEN HE DIED. IT WAS REMOVED JUST AN HOUR LATER OVER FEARS OF ATTRACTING CROWDS DURING COVID, BUT MANY MOURNERS STILL CAME, WITH POLICE BROUGHT IN FOR CONTROL. I REALLY LIKE THE ROYAL FAMILY, AND I JUST FEEL VERY BAD FOR THEM AND WHAT HAPPENED. WE'VE LOST A GREAT MAN, AND HE'S GIVEN SO MUCH, SO HE DESERVES THE TRIBUTES. AT 99 AND RECENTLY IN POOR HEALTH, THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH'S DEATH WAS NOT A SURPRISE. LAST MONTH, HE RETURNED TO WINDSOR CASTLE FROM A 10-DAY HOSPITAL STAY LOOKING EXTREMELY FRAIL. TODAY, TRIBUTES OVERFLOWING FOR THE QUEEN'S CONSORT. I THINK HE'S WELL KNOWN FOR THINGS THAT HE'S SAID, BUT ALSO EVERYTHING THAT HE'S DONE AND SUPPORTED ` THE QUEEN. HE'S A WAR HERO. IT'S THE QUEEN'S HUSBAND, IS IT? IT'S LIKE WE'RE BASICALLY LIVING THROUGH A MOMENT IN HISTORY. IT'S VERY` LIKE, YOU CAN'T NOT COME, DO YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? I THINK HE WAS A PILLAR OF THE ROYAL FAMILY, ESPECIALLY FOR THE QUEEN. PRINCE PHILIP MADE HIS LAST OFFICIAL ENGAGEMENT AT 96 YEARS OLD. OVER HIS OFFICIAL LIFE, HE MADE MORE THAN 22,000 SOLO ENGAGEMENTS. WE REMEMBER THE DUKE FOR ALL OF THIS, AND ABOVE ALL, FOR HIS STEADFAST SUPPORT FOR HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN, NOT JUST AS HER CONSORT, BY HER SIDE EVERY DAY OF HER REIGN, BUT AS HER HUSBAND ` HER STRENGTH AND STAY OF MORE THAN 70 YEARS. IN PRE-RECORDED INTERVIEWS, HIS CHILDREN PAYING TRIBUTE. I THINK HE'D PROBABLY WANT TO BE REMEMBERED AS, UM... AN AS AN INDIVIDUAL IN HIS OWN RIGHT, REALLY. MY FATHER WAS ALWAYS CAPABLE OF BEING ABLE TO MANAGE INTERVIEWS IN A WAY AND SAY THINGS THAT THE REST OF US ALWAYS DREAMED THAT WE COULD SAY. HIS APPRECIATION OF HOW HE COULD HELP THE QUEEN ALWAYS SEEMED TO BE PRESENT, IN TERMS OF SUPPORTING HER, BECAUSE SHE WAS VERY YOUNG WHEN SHE BECAME QUEEN, AND IT NEEDED TO BE, I THINK, A DOUBLE ACT. AND A DOUBLE ACT IT WAS, THE QUEEN REFLECTING ON THE UNION DURING HER 50TH JUBILEE. HE IS SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T TAKE EASILY THE COMPLIMENTS, BUT HE HAS QUITE SIMPLY BEEN MY STRENGTH AND STAY ALL THESE YEARS. THE DUKE AND DUCHESS OF SUSSEX, WHO LIVE IN CALIFORNIA, TURNING THEIR CHARITY WEBSITE ARCHWELL INTO A ONE PAGE TRIBUTE SAYING STARKLY... WESTMINSTER ABBEY TOLLING ITS BELLS 99 TIMES WESTMINSTER ABBEY TOLLING ITS BELLS 99 TIMES TO HONOUR EACH YEAR OF HIS LIFE. (BELLS TOLL) SO, DANIEL, WHAT ARE THE FUNERAL PLANS? THOSE PLANS AND PREPARATIONS ARE UNDERWAY. THE DETAILS ARE STILL BEING FINALISED. AN ANNOUNCEMENT IS EXPECTED IN THE COMING DAYS. WHAT I DO UNDERSTAND IS THAT THOSE PREPARATIONS WILL BE CENTRED HERE AT THE CASTLE, WINDSOR CASTLE. WE CAN EXPECT THAT THE FUNERAL WILL BE AT ST. GEORGE'S CHAPEL ON CASTLE GROUNDS. THEY WILL BE TELEVISED TO WORLD. THAT IS BECAUSE THE FAMILY WANT TO AVOID ANY RISK OF MASS GATHERINGS DURING COVID-19. LET'S NOT FORGET, THE DUKE WANTED TO BE A SIMPLE AFFAIR. HAS WISHES WERE, NO STATE FUNERAL, NO LYING IN STATE AND OF COURSE, NO FUSS AT ALL. THE BIG QUESTION, IS PRINCE HARRY LIKELY TO BE THERE? THAT IS THE BIG QUESTION AT THE MOMENT BUT WE DO NOT HAVE ANY OFFICIAL CONFIRMATION ON WHETHER PRINCE HARRY WILL BE COMING. IF HE IS COMING TO ATTEND HIS GRANDFATHER'S FUNERAL, IT WILL BE THE FIRST TIME HE HAS BEEN BACK SINCE THAT INTERVIEW WITH OPRAH WINFREY. THAT WILL MAKE IT A RATHER AWKWARD REUNION FOR THE ROYAL FAMILY. ALSO FACTOR AND WE ARE IN A PANDEMIC. THERE ARE CURRENT TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS. HE IS NOT EXEMPT AND HE WILL HAVE TO QUARANTINE FOR 10 DAYS COMING FROM THE US. AS A MEMBER OF THE ROYAL FAMILY, THERE IS A TYPE OF EXEMPTION WHICH APPLIES TO MEMBERS OF DIPLOMATS ON MISSIONS AND ALSO CONSULAR POSTS. SO HE COULD APPLY FOR THAT TYPE OF EXEMPTION. AS FOR HIS WIFE, SHE WILL BE UNLIKELY TO TRAVEL HERE BECAUSE SHE IS IN THE LATE STAGES OF HER PREGNANCY. ME U TONU MAI. STAY WITH US, DANIEL. WE'LL BE BACK WITH YOU IN A MOMENT. THE QUEEN'S HUSBAND OF MORE THAN 70 YEARS WAS ONE THE WORLD'S MOST WELL KNOWN, AND AT TIMES CONTROVERSIAL, ROYAL CONSORTS. HERE'S DANIEL WITH A LOOK BACK AT HIS LIFE. FOR BETTER, FOR WORSE. THROUGH GOOD TIMES AND BAD, PRINCE PHILIP WAS THERE FOR HIS WIFE. AGAIN AND AGAIN, THE PEOPLE CALLED BY ELIZABETH AND PHILLIP. AGAIN AND AGAIN, THEY JOYFULLY RESPONDED. BE IT AT HER SIDE OR TREADING DUTIFULLY BEHIND, THE QUEEN AND PRINCE PHILIP WEATHERED THE STORMS OF ROYAL LIFE TOGETHER FOR MORE THAN 70 YEARS. TAKE CARE OF THE BOYS. THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING. THE GREEK BORN PRINCE WAS BRITAIN'S LONGEST SERVING ROYAL CONSORT, A TITLE WITH NO CONSTITUTIONAL SIGNIFICANCE, BUT FROM HIS OFFICE AT BUCKINGHAM PALACE, HE BEGAN PROMOTING ISSUES OF PERSONAL INTEREST. FORTY MINUTES TO GET AROUND THE WORLD. WELL, IT'S GOING TO BE A BIT OF A RUSH AND MAY LEAVE YOU A LITTLE BIT MUDDLED. HIS PATH WAS HIS OWN, FORGED WHEN A YOUNG PRINCESS ELIZABETH BECAME QUEEN IN 1952. PROBLEM IS, OF COURSE, WAS TO RECOGNISE, IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN, WHAT THE NICHE WAS AND TO TRY AND GROW INTO IT. AND THAT WAS BY TRIAL AND ERROR. A SUCCESSFUL NAVAL CAREER THAT INCLUDED SERVICE IN WORLD WAR TWO, GAVE WAY TO A BUSY FAMILY AND PUBLIC LIFE. BY THE GRAND OLD AGE OF 96, THE DUKE YEARNED FOR PEACE AND QUIET. I RECKON I'VE DONE MY BIT. I WANT TO ENJOY MYSELF A BIT NOW, WITH LESS RESPONSIBILITY, LESS FRANTIC RUSHING ABOUT. THE PATRON OF 800 ORGANISATIONS AROUND THE GLOBE, INCLUDING THE ONE HE CREATED AND CARRIED HIS NAME. ITS FOCUS ON YOUNG PEOPLE REALISING THEIR POTENTIAL. TO DISCOVER THEIR OWN ABILITIES FOR THEMSELVES, AND INCIDENTALLY, TO MAKE NEW FRIENDS AND HAVE A GREAT DEAL OF FUN AND SATISFACTION IN THE PROCESS. THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH'S HILLARY AWARDS HAVE BEEN POPULAR HERE FOR MORE THAN 50 YEARS. IT IS THE PREMIER YOUTH AWARD IN THIS COUNTRY AND BECOMING SO GLOBALLY. HE WAS PASSIONATE FOR 50 YEARS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PRINCIPLES ASSOCIATED WITH THE AWARD DON'T CHANGE. AND IT WAS FOR HIS COMMITMENT TO THIS PROGRAMME, THAT PRINCE PHILIP RECEIVED OUR HIGHEST HONOUR, THE ORDER OF NEW ZEALAND. I THINK HE'S LEFT A VERY BIG FOOTPRINT ON NEW ZEALAND AND THEREFORE WORTHY OF THE HONOUR. OVER THE YEARS, PRINCE PHILIP CUT A CONTROVERSIAL FIGURE, DOGGED BY RUMOURS OF EXTRAMARITAL AFFAIRS, A STRING OF TACTLESS GAFFES AND ACCUSATIONS OF HYPOCRISY FOR CONTINUING TO HUNT WHILE HITTING THE WORLD WIDE FUND FOR NATURE. OVER THE COURSE OF NINE DECADES OF LIFE, YOU'RE BOUND TO HAVE SOME CONTRADICTIONS IN YOUR LIFE AND TO HAVE SOME INTERESTING CHARACTER TWISTS. THE DUKE OFTEN CLAIMED HE WAS MISUNDERSTOOD AND REJECTED ANY HINT OF GREEN, DESPITE BEING THE FIRST ROYAL TO EVER CHAMPION NATURE CONSERVATION. THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BEING CONCERNED FOR THE CONSERVATION OF NATURE AND BEING A BUNNY HUGGER. BEHIND THE SCENES, PRINCE PHILIP WAS CREDITED WITH BRINGING THE ROYAL FAMILY CLOSER TO THE PEOPLE. HE PUSHED FOR THE MAKING OF THE GROUNDBREAKING 60S FILM, ROYAL FAMILY, WANTING TO SHOW A MORE HUMAN FAMILY FACE TO THE WORLD. THE SALAD IS READY. GOOD. THROUGHOUT HIS LIFE AND ALL ITS FORMALITY, PRINCE PHILIP MAINTAINED HIS OWN STYLE, HIS OWN WAY OF DOING THINGS, AND ONCE SUMMED UP HIS APPROACH IN HIS TYPICALLY FORTHRIGHT STYLE. I'VE JUST DONE WHAT I THINK IS MY BEST. I CAN'T SUDDENLY CHANGE MY WHOLE WAY OF DOING THINGS, LIKE, THAT'S SOMEBODY'S STYLE, AND IT'S TOO BAD. HE HAS SEEN A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT, AND HAS BEEN, IF NOT A PARTICIPANT IN ALL OF THAT, CERTAINLY HAD A FRONT ROW SEAT. A SEAT THAT WILL NOW REMAIN FOREVER VACANT AT THE HOUSE OF WINDSOR SOME FABULOUS IMAGES THERE. SO, DANIEL, WHAT WILL BE HAPPENING IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS? WELL, MELISSA. GIVEN THE HUGE HISTORY OF WEDDINGS AND FUNERALS HERE AT WINDSOR IT IS HARD TO EVEN IMAGINE WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS GIVEN THE PANDEMIC. WE DO KNOW THERE WILL BE SOME GUN SALUTES IN HONOUR OF THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH, BUT AGAIN, PEOPLE WILL BE URGED TO STAY AWAY AND WATCH IT FROM HOME. ONE THING THOUGH, ON MONDAY NIGHT AS PART OF ENGLAND'S STEP OUT OF LOCKDOWN, PEOPLE WILL BE ALLOWED TO GO TO A PUB AND HAVE A DRINK. YOU CAN IMAGINE MANY WILL BE RAISING THEIR GLASSES TO THE DUKE ON THAT NIGHT. NGA MIHI, DANIEL. PRINCE PHILIP HAD A SIGNIFICANT AND HISTORIC ROLE IN THE ROYAL FAMILY. HE WAS THE LONGEST SERVING CONSORT OF A REIGNING BRITISH MONARCH, AND AT 99, HE WAS ALSO THE OLDEST EVER MALE MEMBER OF THE FAMILY. HIS SERVICE TO THE UK AND THE COMMONWEALTH WAS HUGE. WHEN HE RETIRED IN AUGUST 2017, HE'D COMPLETED MORE THAN 22,000 ENGAGEMENTS SINCE 1952. PRINCE PHILIP GAVE HIS TIME TO 800 ORGANISATIONS. HE WAS THE FIRST UK PRESIDENT OF THE WORLD WILDLIFE FUND AND FOUNDED THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH AWARD. A DEVOTED HUSBAND AND FATHER. HIS WIFE, QUEEN ELIZABETH, ONCE DESCRIBING HIM AS 'HER CONSTANT STRENGTH AND GUIDE'. HIS DEATH COMES JUST DAYS AFTER THE RELEASE OF PREVIOUSLY UNSEEN FOOTAGE OF HIM ON TOUR IN NEW ZEALAND ON CHRISTMAS DAY IN 1953. THE VISION WAS RELEASED BY THE FAMILY OF THE THEN GOVERNOR GENERAL, SIR WILLOUGHBY NORRIE. THE CANDID CLIPS SHOW THE ROYAL COUPLE TAKING TIME OUT FROM THE GRUELLING SEVEN-MONTH TOUR DOWN UNDER, INCLUDING PRINCE PHILIP (32) STRUGGLING WITH A LILO, MUCH TO THE DELIGHT OF THE YOUNG QUEEN. THIS WAS A` A PRIVATE POOL WE TOOK THE ROYAL PARTY TO ON CHRISTMAS DAY. THE ROYAL COUPLES KNEW THAT WE WERE FILMING, AND THEY DIDN'T SEEM TO MIND THAT WE WERE. THE FOOTAGE WILL FEATURE IN A DOCUMENTARY ABOUT THE QUEEN, TO AIR ON HER 95TH BIRTHDAY LATER THIS MONTH. PRINCE PHILIP MADE NUMEROUS TRIPS TO NEW ZEALAND AND OTHER PARTS OF THE COMMONWEALTH. NICOLE BREMNER TAKES US THROUGH THE MOST MEMORABLE MOMENTS. (REGAL FANFARE) ARCHIVE: SO, THE QUEEN COMES TO NEW ZEALAND. 12,000 MILES FROM THE MOTHERLAND, SHE IS HOME AMONGST HER PEOPLE. A KIWI CHRISTMAS IN 1953, ELIZABETH THE SECOND NEWLY-CROWNED, NEWLY APPOINTED HEAD OF THE COMMONWEALTH. ROYAL EXCITEMENT CUT SHORT JUST A DAY LATER BY ONE OF THIS COUNTRY'S DARKEST MOMENTS, SCORES KILLED IN THE TANGIWAI RAIL DISASTER, THE DUKE BREAKING HIS SCHEDULED ITINERARY TO MEET SURVIVORS AND ATTEND THE STATE FUNERAL. (GROUP PERFORM HAKA) OVER THE NEXT MONTH, PRINCE PHILIP CONTINUED BUILDING HIS LONG-STANDING RELATIONSHIP WITH THE PEOPLES OF THE PACIFIC. THE MEETING HOUSE OF WHAKAREWAREWA, CENTREPIECE OF A MODEL PA WHICH EXACTLY REPRODUCES THE TYPE OF VILLAGE MAORIS LIVED IN BEFORE THE COMING OF THE PAKEHA. LATER THAT DECADE,... HE MOVES ALONG A HIGH-SPEED CHAIN, WATCHING EACH STAGE IN THE PREPARATION OF THE CARCASS FOR NEW ZEALAND AND OVERSEAS MARKETS. HE RETURNED ON A FLYING VISIT AS PART OF A WORLD TOUR, TAKING INTEREST IN OUR LOCAL INDUSTRIES, SPORT AND CULTURE. RHYTHMIC DANCING IS A SIDE-LINE LINE TO THE ATHLETICS. (LIGHT ORCHESTRAL MUSIC) A CROWN CONTRACT WITH MAORI CELEBRATED ON A ROYAL VISIT TO WAITANGI, AN AGREEMENT THAT REMAINS CONTROVERSIAL TO THIS DAY. IN CHRISTCHURCH IN 1974, HE DECLARED... ...THE COMMONWEALTH GAMES OPEN. AND VARIOUS OTHER TRIPS SAW HIM HONOURING NEW ZEALAND ICONS,... STOPPING TO HAVE A CHAT WITH SOME OF THE PERFORMERS. ...AND EVERY DAY KIWIS. (APPLAUSE) THE NATURAL WORLD FIRMLY ON HIS AGENDA, HERE HELPING TO REGENERATE THE GREENERY ON MOTUTAPU ISLAND. THIS IS A MAJOR UNDERTAKING, AND I'M DELIGHTED. HIS TRAVELS TOOK HIM TO SEE OUR PACIFIC NEIGHBOURS TOO, COMMONWEALTH COUNTRIES UNDER HIS WIFE'S REIGN. TONGA AND FIJI AMONG THEM, AND SEEN HERE IN 1990 IN SAMOA, SURVEYING THE AFTERMATH OF THE DEADLY CYCLONE OFA. IT IS A COMMONWEALTH COUNTRY. THE` THE... THE QUEEN'S HEAD OF THE COMMONWEALTH, AND SHE ASKED ME WHETHER I'D COME HERE REALLY TO EXPRESS HER DISTRESS AND SYMPATHY FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE SUFFERED LOSS. I CAN'T GO AROUND STAMPING THE STREETS AND SAYING, 'GO OUT. YOU KNOW, SEND YOUR BILLIES TO SAMOA', BUT IF ANYBODY MAKES ANY ENQUIRIES, I'LL CERTAINLY TELL THEM WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. IN VANUATU, VILLAGERS ON TANNA ISLAND WORSHIP THE SO-CALLED PRINCE PHILIP MOVEMENT, BELIEVING HE DESCENDED DOWN FROM ONE OF THEIR SPIRIT ANCESTORS. WITHIN MINUTES, THE DUKE'S BARGE PULLED INTO THE WARF. IT SEEMS HIS PACIFIC VISITS, LIKE THIS TRIP TO THE CHATHAM'S, ALWAYS BROUGHT THE CROWDS. ALMOST THE ENTIRE POPULATION OF 500 IS THERE TO GREET THE DUKE. VISITORS ARE RARE IN THESE ISLANDS AT ANY TIME, AND A ROYAL ONE IS AN EVENT IN SEVERAL LIFETIMES. IT'S A ROYAL LIFE NOW COMMISERATED AND CELEBRATED BY AN ENTIRE EMPIRE A LONG WAY FROM THE DUKE'S HOME IN BRITAIN. NICOLE BREMNER, 1 NEWS. AND THERE WERE FOND MEMORIES OF THE PRINCE HERE TODAY ` FROM FIRM ROYALISTS, TO THE PRIME MINISTER, AND THOSE HE HELPED TO INSPIRE. HERE'S KRISTIN HALL. THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH HILLARY AWARDS HAVE BEEN A MAJOR PART OF GEMMA THOMPSON'S LIFE. SHE RECEIVED HER GOLD AWARD FROM PRINCE PHILIP HIMSELF IN 2002. HE WAS REALLY DOWN TO EARTH AND ACTUALLY TOOK THE TIME TO TALK TO PEOPLE. 20 YEARS ON, SHE'S AN AWARD LEADER, HELPING KIWI KIDS PUSH THEIR LIMITS AND REALISE THEIR POTENTIAL. IT'S GOING TO HAVE A HUGE HIT ON US KNOWING THAT, UM,... THERE'S GOING TO BE SOMEONE NEW COMING IN EVENTUALLY. THE AWARDS AND HIS REGULAR VISITS WEREN'T THE DUKES ONLY TIES TO NEW ZEALAND. HE HAD A CONNECTION TO A NUMBER OF NEW ZEALAND ORGANISATIONS, BOTH AS PATRONS AND SUPPORTERS, INCLUDING, FOR INSTANCE, THE NEW ZEALAND DEFENCE FORCE. THE MONARCH'S DEDICATED CONSORT REMEMBERED TOO BY OUR GOVERNOR GENERAL. SHE HAD A PRIVATE LUNCH WITH HIM AND THE QUEEN AT BUCKINGHAM PALACE IN 2016. BUT THEY PUT US AT OUR EASE. HE WAS WITTY. HE WAS INTERESTED AND INTERESTING. FOREIGN MINISTER NANAIA MAHUTA, WHO'S CLOSELY RELATED TO KING TUHETIA, SHARED HER SYMPATHY FOR THE DUKE'S FAMILY. HE CERTAINLY HAD A CHARACTER THAT PEOPLE REFLECTED ON AS ONE THAT WAS FAIRLY PRIVATE, SO IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT THEY HAVE FAMILY TIME. DEVOTED ROYALISTS ANGELA AND BILL THOMPSON HAVE BEEN COLLECTING ROYAL MEMORABILIA FOR DECADES, TODAY'S NEWS NOT UNEXPECTED BUT STILL A BLOW. EVERY TIME WE WALK DOWN OUR HALLWAY AND GO INTO A ROOM, WE SEE QUEEN ELIZABETH AND THE DUKE SMILING BACK AT US, AND IT'S JUST SO SAD NOW THAT HE HASN'T QUITE MADE THAT HUNDRED YEARS. FLAGS WERE AT HALF-MAST TODAY, KIWIS INVITED TO SIGN THE CONDOLENCE BOOK AT PARLIAMENT. I THINK HE'LL REMEMBERED AS SOMEONE WHO, YOU KNOW, UNUSUALLY FOR A MAN OF HIS GENERATION, GAVE HIS LIFE TO SUPPORTING HIS WIFE. I JUST THINK IT'S EVER SO SAD. IT'S A BLOW FOR THE ROYAL FAMILY. WE EXPECTED HIS DEATH. HE WAS 99 YEARS OLD. ANY TIME IT WAS GOING TO COME, IT WAS GOING TO BE HORRIBLE. HE PROBABLY DIDN'T GET TO 100 AND GET HIS LETTER FROM THE QUEEN. (CHUCKLES) HE WAS JUST SHORT, WASN'T HE? SOMETIMES JUST SPEAKING HIS MIND, I QUITE LIKED HIM FOR THAT. HE'S CERTAINLY A PERSONALITY. A MEMORIAL IN NEW ZEALAND WILL BE ARRANGED AFTER THE FORMAL SERVICE IN THE UK HAS GONE AHEAD. KRISTIN HALL, 1 NEWS E HAERE AKE NEI, COMING UP ` HONOURED FOR HIS SERVICE. IT RECOGNISES ALSO YOUR MANA AND YOUR HUMANITY, AS WELL AS YOUR DETERMINATION TO SECURE RECOGNITION AND INCORPORATION OF TE REO MAORI, TE AO MAORI AND TIKANGA INTO THE JUSTICE SYSTEM. A MAORI LEGAL TRAILBLAZER RECEIVES HIS KNIGHTHOOD. WHAT WAS SAID THAT GAVE THE CROWD THE GIGGLES. PLUS ` WHY MEXICO'S ROCKETING UP THE CORONAVIRUS RECORD BOOKS, AFTER NEW FIGURES REVEAL THE TRUE EXTENT OF THE VIRUS'S IMPACT. AND FROM TROPICAL PARADISE TO A CLOUD BLOCKING THE SUN ` A VOLCANO DORMANT FOR DECADES ROARS BACK INTO LIFE. AOTEAROA'S FIRST SUPREME COURT JUDGE OF MAORI HERITAGE RETURNED TO HIS TURANGAWAEWAE TODAY TO BE KNIGHTED BY THE GOVERNOR GENERAL ` A UNIQUE EVENT REFLECTING THE LIFE OF SIR JOE WILLIAMS. YVONNE TAHANA WAS THERE. NGATI PUKENGA WELCOMING A FAVOURITE SON. JUSTICE JOE WILLIAMS BRINGING TOGETHER EX-ALL BLACKS, TOP COPS, LAWYERS AND WHANAU, EVEN A FAMOUS COUSIN. A TESTAMENT TO HIS MANA TODAY OF EVERYONE COMING TO THE MARAE. HIS INVESTITURE CEREMONY RAISING THE SPIRITS IN THE TINY VILLAGE OF MANAIA IN THE COROMANDEL. (LAUGHTER) RECOGNISED FOR A PROMINENT LEGAL CAREER, RECENTLY HEARING THE POSTHUMOUS PETER ELLIS APPEAL, ASKING LAWYERS TO CONSIDER MAORI TIKANGA IN A VERY PAKEHA CASE. IT RECOGNISES ALSO YOUR MANA AND YOUR HUMANITY. THE WORK CLOSEST TO HIS HEART ` HIS EARLY MAHI FOR IWI. I WAS THE LAWYER FOR HAURAKI IN THE HAURAKI CLAIMS, FOR THE IWI OF TE TAI TOKERAU, FOR TAURANGA MOANA, FOR NGATI KAHUNGUNU, WHERE I HAD GROWN UP, FOR VARIOUS MATAATUA PEOPLE. IT WAS THE JOY OF MY LIFE. HIS BOSS, THE CHIEF JUSTICE, GIVING THE CROWD A FEW GIGGLES REFERRING TO HIS HIT '80S SONG, MARANGA AKE AI. I WON'T SAY 'AGEING ROCKSTAR'. (LAUGHTER) INVESTITURES ON MARAE ARE RARE. (APPLAUSE) SO SIR JOE, OR SERGIO AS SOME NOW CALL HIM, THANKED NGATI PUKENGA. YOU HAVE GIVEN ME THE GROUND TO STAND ON, AND YOU'VE GIVEN ME THE MOUNTAIN TO LOOK TO AND THE RIVER TO CLEANSE MY BURDENS. HE TOLD HIS TRIBE, THOUGH, HE'D SET A TRAP; THEY WERE ALL STAYING THE WEEKEND FOR A TRIBAL PLANNING SESSION. AND HERE WE ARE FOR A DAY AND A HALF TO DREAM VISIONS OF AN IWI FUTURE. THE WORK FAR FROM OVER FOR THIS NEW KNIGHT. YVONNE TAHANA, 1 NEWS. MEXICO IS NOW CONSIDERED TO HAVE ONE OF THE WORST COVID DEATH TOLLS IN THE WORLD, AFTER AUTHORITIES REVISED OFFICIAL FIGURES. THE NEW NUMBER IS MORE THAN 320,000, 60% PERCENT HIGHER THAN PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT, MEANING MEXICO TRAILS ONLY BRAZIL AND THE US IN DEATHS LOST TO THE VIRUS. THE BBC'S WILL GRANT REPORTS. IVAN SANCHEZ OFTEN TAKES HIS WIFE AND CHILDREN OUT TO EAT IN A LOCAL CAFE IN MEXICO STATE, BUT THESE DAYS SOMEONE IS MISSING FROM THEIR REGULAR FAMILY LUNCHES ` IVAN'S FATHER, MARIO. HE FELL ILL FROM COVID SHORTLY AFTER IVAN GOT THE DISEASE. UNWILLING TO GO TO HOSPITAL, HE TRIED TO RIDE OUT THE VIRUS AT HOME AND DIED ON THIS VERY SOFA. IVAN GRAPPLES WITH THE GRIEF AND THE GUILT OF HAVING INFECTED HIS FATHER EVERY DAY. MANY THOUSANDS IN MEXICO HAVE DIED LIKE MARIO ` UNTESTED, UNDER THE RADAR AND NOT INCLUDED IN THE OFFICIAL STATISTICS. TRANSLATOR: AFTER HE DIED, I ASKED A FRIEND TO HELP ME WITH THE PAPERWORK SO THAT HIS DEATH WOULDN'T BE REGISTERED AS COVID, BUT AS A RESPIRATORY COLLAPSE. WE DID IT SO WE COULD GIVE HIM A PROPER WAKE AT HOME. AS GOVERNMENT DATA SUGGESTS, A STAGGERING 320,000 HAVE DIED FROM CORONAVIRUS IN MEXICO. PUBLIC HEALTH EXPERTS BELIEVE CASES LIKE MARIO'S MEAN THE TRUE PICTURE IS EVEN WORSE. MOST ANALYSTS UNOFFICIALLY ARE ARGUING THAT OUR NUMBER COULD BE HIGHER THAN THAT 320-SOMETHING-THOUSAND, THAT WE MAY BE ABOUT A HALF A MILLION DEAD. IF SUCH A DIRE ESTIMATE IS TRUE, MEXICO NEEDS TO VACCINATE ITS PEOPLE SOON. A CARIBBEAN VOLCANO, WHICH WAS DORMANT FOR MORE THAN 40 YEARS, HAS ERUPTED, FORCING THOUSANDS OF NEARBY VILLAGERS TO FLEE THEIR HOMES. THE VOLCANO ON ST VINCENT ISLAND STARTED RUMBLING IN DECEMBER AND WHEN IT FINALLY EXPLODED, ASH AND SMOKE BLOTTED OUT THE BRIGHT MORNING SUN. THE ASH PLUME AND SUBSEQUENT FALL OUT COULD KEEP PEOPLE FROM THEIR HOMES FOR UP TO FOUR MONTHS, BUT THE IMPACT IS MUCH LESS THAN THE DEVASTATING 1902 AND 1979 ERUPTIONS. ME U TONU MAI, STAY WITH US. OUR AUSTRALIA CORRESPONDENT IS HERE WITH HOW'S AUSTRALIA MARKING THE DEATH OF PRINCE PHILIP. THE SYDNEY HARBOUR BRIDGE, THE FLAG IS AT HALF MAST. AND PHILIP THE FAMILY MAN ` BEHIND THE PALACE WALLS, HIS INFLUENCE ON THE PRIVATE EMPIRE WHICH IS THE ROYAL FAMILY. AND IT'S BEEN A WET AND WILD START TO THE WEEKEND, WITH MORE TO COME ON SUNDAY. I'LL HAVE THE OUTLOOK FOR YOUR PLACE AFTER SPORT. FROM LIGHTING LANDMARKS TO A 41 GUN SALUTE ` AUSTRALIA'S MARKING PRINCE PHILIP'S DEATH WITH FEELING. THE DUKE MADE MANY TRIPS TO THE NATION, WHICH HAS A SPECIAL FONDNESS FOR THE ROYAL FAMILY. OUR AUSTRALIA CORRESPONDENT ANDREW MACFARLANE'S IN SYDNEY. ANDREW, WHAT'S HAPPENING THERE? MANY TRIPS AS A BIT OF AN UNDERSTATEMENT. OVER A PERIOD OF ABOUT 72 YEARS, HE VISITED AUSTRALIA MANY TIMES HIMSELF FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS. TODAY AUSTRALIANS HAVE BEEN SHARING THEIR MEMORIES OF THE PRINCE. SOME OF THE LIGHTER, SOME OF THE MORE SERIOUS. AND IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS ON CAMERA, THERE WILL BE THAT 41 GUN SALUTE, AS AUSTRALIA CONTINUES TO SHARE THOSE MEMORIES. IT WOULD BE FAIR TO SAY PRINCE PHILIP HAD A DEEP LOVE FOR AUSTRALIA. A THRILLING, MEMORABLE SIGHT, AND ONE THAT WILL BE INDELIBLY IMPRINTED ON THE MINDS OF ALL WHO WERE PRIVILEGED TO SEE IT. THE TOUR IN 1954 IS SAID TO HAVE REACHED 75% OF THE POPULATION, A COUNTRY THAT WOULD REMAIN FIERCELY LOYAL TO THE CROWN. THE INSPECTION IS INFORMAL, AND THE DUKE CHOOSES MORE THAN ONE OPPORTUNITY FOR A QUIET WORD WITH ONE OF THESE SOUTH COAST VETERANS. FROM TOURS TO THE COMMONWEALTH GAMES, THE DUKE'S INTEREST IN SPORT OFTEN BRINGING HIM TO AUSTRALIA. THE GAMES PROVIDE A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY TO CEMENT FRIENDSHIPS AMONGST PEOPLE WHO SHARE A COMMON LANGUAGE BUT WHO MIGHT OTHERWISE NEVER HAVE MET. AUSTRALIA OFFERING THE PRINCE A CHANCE TO CARRY OUT HIS CONSERVATION WORK. AND I BET THE QUEEN AND PRINCE PHILIP WISH THEY COULD TAKE ONE HOME FOR PRINCE ANDREW. MAYBE NOT. PRINCE PHILIP, ONCE REFUSING TO HOLD A KOALA, SAYING HE MIGHT CATCH A GHASTLY DISEASE. AUSTRALIA UNSUCCESSFULLY TOYED WITH THE IDEA OF BECOMING A REPUBLIC IN THE 90S. WE'RE THRILLED THAT THE NO CASE HAS WON A RESOUNDING VICTORY. (CROWD CHEERS) THE RESULT, TAKING THE DUKE BY SURPRISE, REPORTEDLY SAYING, 'WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH THESE PEOPLE.' THAT WRY HUMOUR TODAY REMEMBERED FONDLY BY PRIME MINISTER SCOTT MORRISON. MEMORIES OF HIM WILL, OF COURSE, TELL STORIES OF HIS CANDOUR AND A UNIQUE AND FORCEFUL AND AUTHENTIC PERSONALITY. JUST HOURS AFTER LAST NIGHT'S ANNOUNCEMENT, AUSTRALIANS REMEMBERED. HE MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN THE KING, BUT HE WAS THE KING IN SO MANY EYES, I THINK. SAD THAT HE'S GONE. I WAS HOPING HE'D LAST FOR HIS, AT LEAST LAST FOR HIS BIRTHDAY. MR MORRISON WITH A DIRECT MESSAGE TO THE QUEEN. SHE HAS BEEN THERE FOR US OVER SUCH A LONG TIME. LET US BE THERE NOW FOR YOU, YOUR MAJESTY. AS AUSTRALIA JOINS THE COMMONWEALTH IN REMEMBERING THE DUKE. ANDREW MACFARLANE, 1 NEWS, SYDNEY. THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH ALWAYS WALKED TWO PACES BEHIND THE QUEEN IN PUBLIC, BUT AT HOME HE WAS A HANDS-ON ` FATHER, AND A FAMILY MAN, OFTEN TAKING CHARGE OF HOUSEHOLD MATTERS. THE BBC'S SARAH CAMPBELL REPORTS. WHILE THE QUEEN TOOK CENTRE STAGE IN PUBLIC LIFE, WHEN IT CAME TO FAMILY MATTERS, IT WAS PRINCE PHILIP WHO WAS IN CHARGE. WHEN ELIZABETH CAME TO THE THRONE, PHILIP HAD TO LEAVE THE NAVY. IT WAS UNUSUAL IN THE 1950S AND '60S FOR THE MAN OF THE HOUSEHOLD TO GIVE UP HIS CAREER TO SUPPORT HIS WIFE AND CHILDREN, AND AS THEIR HOME MOVIES SHOW, HE DID SO WITH GUSTO. FIRSTHAND ACCOUNTS THAT I'VE BEEN TOLD BY PEOPLE WHO WERE THERE AT THE TIME OF PRINCE PHILIP, NOT JUST BATHING AT THE CHILDREN, PLAYING WITH THE CHILDREN, BUT READING TO THE CHILDREN. HE WAS A HANDS-ON DAD. HIS WAS AN UNUSUAL CHILDHOOD ` SPLIT UP FROM HIS PARENTS AND HIS FOUR SISTERS, ONE OF WHOM WAS TRAGICALLY KILLED. THE PLEASURES OF FAMILY LIFE ARE ENJOYED BY THE BABY'S MOTHER AND FATHER LESS FREQUENTLY THAN BY ORDINARY PARENTS. ROYAL DUTIES INVOLVED FREQUENT FOREIGN TRAVEL. BUT AS PHILIP'S FAMILY GREW, HE WAS DETERMINED TO DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY. I ALWAYS AIM TO BE HOME DURING THE HOLIDAYS, ANYWAY, SO THAT I CAN SEE THE CHILDREN. I MEAN, WE TRY AND KEEP THE CHILDREN OUT OF THE PUBLIC EYE LARGELY SO THAT THEY CAN GROW UP AS NORMALLY AS POSSIBLE. IN 1969, PHILLIP ALLOWED THE TV CAMERAS IN FOR A BEHIND-THE-SCENES DOCUMENTARY. THIS WAS THE ROYAL FAMILY HAS NEVER SEEN BEFORE OR SINCE, REPORTEDLY ON THE INSTRUCTION OF THE QUEEN. DECISIONS, SUCH AS SCHOOLING, WERE HIS. GORDONSTOUN, THE SCOTTISH BOARDING SCHOOL, HAD SUITED PHILIP AS A YOUNGSTER, AND SO THAT'S WHERE HE CHOSE TO SEND HIS SONS. THE BOND WITH PRINCESS ANNE WAS CLEAR. ALIKE IN MANY WAYS, SHE WAS OUTSPOKEN, AND SHE KNEW HOW TO DEAL WITH HER FATHER'S SIMILARLY FRANK MANNER. HE SHARED A NAVAL BACKGROUND WITH PRINCE ANDREW, BOTH HAVING SERVED IN FIELDS OF CONFLICT. IT WAS TO HIS YOUNGEST SON THAT PHILIP ENTRUSTED PERHAPS HIS GREATEST LEGACY ` THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH AWARD. INTO HIS 90S. PUBLIC ENGAGEMENTS BECAME FEWER, BUT FAMILY EVENTS LIKE PRINCESS CHARLOTTE'S CHRISTENING REMAINED A PRIORITY. IN 2018, DESPITE A RECENT HIP REPLACEMENT, HE WALKED UNAIDED INTO THE CHAPEL FOR HIS GRANDSON HARRY'S WEDDING. TWO YEARS LATER, ISOLATING AT WINDSOR, HE WAS THERE FOR HIS GRANDDAUGHTER, BEATRICE. IT WAS A LONG LIFE WHERE DUTY AND FAMILY RESPONSIBILITY OFTEN CAME INTO CONFLICT. HIS CHILDREN, GRANDCHILDREN AND GREAT GRANDCHILDREN WILL BE UNITED IN MOURNING HIS LOSS. ANDREW'S HERE WITH SPORT, AND AN ENGLISHMAN LEADING GOLF'S FAMOUS EVENT. IT'S BEEN AN ODD DAY ALL ROUND AT THE MASTERS. IF YOU'VE JUST COME IN FROM THE COURSE, THIS MIGHT LOOK FAMILIAR ` BROKEN CLUBS, TANTRUMS. SHOTS THAT DON'T HAVE ENOUGH GRAVY, AND AN UNKNOWN PART-TIMER, ALL IN THE MIX AT AUGUSTA. PLUS ` THE EXTREME LABOUR OF LOVE ENDING IN FEARS OVER SAFETY. SO IS THE DREAM OVER? AND WELCOME TO THE INDIAN PREMIER LEAGUE. A LOCAL MEGA-STAR LETS DOWN HIS NEW KIWI SIGNING ` AN ACTION-PACKED OPENING FOR KYLE JAMIESON. NAU MAI KI NGA KORERO HAKINAKINA O TE WA, WELCOME TO SPORT AND WELCOME BACK TO ENGLISH GOLFER JUSTIN ROSE, EIGHT YEARS SINCE HIS ONE AND ONLY MAJOR VICTORY. ROSE HOLDS THE LEAD AFTER TWO ROUNDS OF THE FAMOUS MASTERS TOURNAMENT, BUT ONLY JUST. MICHELLE PRENDIVILLE HAS A DAY OF UPS AND DOWNS, FOR PLAYERS ACROSS THE BOARD. THE MASTERS IS ALL ABOUT BALL CONTROL AND KEEPING COOL, BUT WHEN ONE OF THEM GOES OUT THE WINDOW, THE OTHER CAN QUICKLY FOLLOW, SOMETHING WEEKEND HACKERS WILL KNOW ALL TOO WELL. (BLEEP!) ON HIS APPROACH AT 14 KOREA'S SI WOO KIM WAS JUST TWO SHOTS OFF THE LEAD, HIS MOVING MOMENT FRUSTRATINGLY SLIPPING AWAY. THAT IS HIS FIRST BOGEY TODAY. OVERSHOOTING THE GREEN ON THE 15TH ONLY MESSED FURTHER WITH HIS HEAD, AND AS HE STEWED, THE ANGER FINALLY UNLEASHED. HE'S LOSING THE HEAD. WELL, LOST THE HEAD. OFFICIALLY LOST THE HEAD! ...WRECKING HIS PUTTER. THERE'S NO BACK UP, SO WHAT DO YOU DO? (LAUGHS) I NEED TO LET YOU HANDLE ALL OF THIS! PULL OUT THE THREE-WOOD FOR THE REST OF THE ROUND. NOW WE'VE GOT THIS FELLOW LOFT OF METAL, WHICH IS FINE, JUST A TRIFFLE EMBARRASING, VERN. NOT AS EMBARRASING AS HIS PLAYING PARTNERS WHO HAD ACTUAL PUTTERS BUT COULD ONLY MANAGE BOGEYS. SI WOO, WELL, HE WAS GOING FOR BIRDIES. SI WOO, WELL, HE WAS GOING FOR BIRDIES. (EXCLAIMS) DO YOU HAVE AN EXTRA PATTER? I DON'T WANT TO ANSWER. SIMILAR SENTIMENTS FROM AMERICAN BROOKS KOEPKA, RORY MCILLROY AND DEFENDING CHAMPION DUSTIN JOHNSTON, FELLOW, ALL MISSING THE CUT. BUT YOU CAN GUARANTEE THE MASTERS KEEPS PLAYERS AND US GUESSING, A BUNCH OF NO NAMES IN CONTENTION, SOME OF THEM IN THEIR FIRST MASTERS. ZALATORIS THE 24 YEAR OLD IS ONLY A PART-TIMER ON THE TOUR, FINISHING THE DAY IN SECOND AHEAD OF SOME BIG NAMES AND EVEN BIGGER HITTERS. THIS IS ABOUT THE ONLY ACTION THE AUSTRALIAN OR WHITE FERNS CRICKETERS ARE LIKELY TO SEE FOR TODAY'S FINAL ONE-DAYER IN MT MAUNGANUI, RAIN DELAYING THE START. THEY'RE HOPING TO SALVAGE A 20-OVER MATCH JUST ABOUT NOW. THE WARRIORS HAVE FOUND A NEW, AGONISING WAY TO LOSE, THIS TIME TO BOTTOM PLACED MANLY. AFTER SIGNS OF HOPE THE PAST FEW WEEKS, AND WITH A TON OF CHANCES IN THE GAME, THE WARRIORS ATTACK WENT COLD. THEIR DEFENCE ALSO LOOKED SHAKY AT TIMES, ALLOWING MANLY TO LEVEL WITH 20 TO PLAY. THE WARRIORS HAD TWO CRACKS AT A WINNING FIELD GOAL, BOTH BOTCHED, BEFORE MANLY STAR DALY CHERRY EVENS STEPPED UP, WITH TIME UP. EVANS IN PERFECT POSITION. IT GOES TO DCE, AND HE KICKS IT. WITH THE BALL, WE WERE JUST HORRIBLE. YEAH, WE JUST DIDN'T GET ANYWHERE NEAR WHERE WE NEEDED TO GET TO. THE WARRIORS ARE NOW 11TH ON THE NRL LADDER, TWO WINS, THREE LOSSES. THEY PLAY THE DRAGONS NEXT SUNDAY. CANTERBURY SPEEDSTERS PHIL GARRETT AND ROB SMALL HAVE MADE THE HEARTBREAKING DECISION TO CALL OFF THEIR ATTEMPT AT THE NEW ZEALAND LAND SPEED RECORD. THEIR HOME BUILT BIKE IS BROKEN BEYOND REPAIR, FOLLOWING ITS FIRST GO ON THE OPEN ROAD NEAR ASHBURTON YESTERDAY. JORDAN OPPERT HAS MORE. BREAKING THE LAND SPEED RECORD WAS NEVER GOING TO BE EASY, BUT FOR SELF-CONFESSED DAREDEVIL PHIL GARRETT, IT WAS HARDER THAN EVEN HE HAD EVER IMAGINED. THE REALITY IS THAT THE GODS OF SPEED WERE NOT SMILING ON US YESTERDAY. I THINK BURT MUNRO WAS UP THERE WATCHING ME, AND, YOU KNOW, 'NO, YOU HAVEN'T QUITE WORKED HARD ENOUGH YET'. YOU SEE, HIS ATTEMPT 24 HOURS AGO GOT OFF TO A PROMISING START. (ENGINE REVS) THEN AS HE HIT 250KM/H, THE ENGINE STARTED SPEWING OIL. IT STARTED TO FISH TAIL, AND IT JUST GOT WORSE AND WORSE. NOW, I'VE BEEN RIDING BIKES FOR 40 YEARS, AND THAT'S PROBABLY ONE OF THE SCARIEST 10 SECONDS OF MY LIFE. TO PUT THE SPEED IN PERSPECTIVE, PHIL'S GOAL WAS TO REACH 320 CLICKS; THAT'S TRAVELLING THE LENGTH OF A RUGBY FIELD EVERY SECOND. IT'S REALLY DISAPPOINTING THAT HE HASN'T REACHED HIS GOAL AND HIS DREAM, BUT I'M REALLY THANKFUL THAT HE DIDN'T HURT HIMSELF. THAT'S THE MAIN THING. BUT HIS PRIDE HAS BEEN DENTED, PHIL AND HIS TEAM WORKING TILL 2AM THIS MORNING, DESPERATELY TRYING TO REPAIR THE BIKE. WHAT'S IT LIKE TO SEE YOUR PRIDE AND JOY, LIKE, SPREAD OUT ON THE TABLES IN FRONT OF YOU? UM... I DIDN'T MEAN TO MAKE YOU CRY. NO, IT'S ALL RIGHT. IT'S... IT'S REALLY HARD, BUT WE HAVE BEEN HERE BEFORE, BUT THIS TIME WE REALLY THOUGHT WE HAD IT PERFECT. 'WE' BEING HIMSELF AND ROB SMALL, HIS CO-OWNER, CO-DRIVER AND BEST MATE. AND HE HAS WORKED AS HARD AS ME OVER THE SAME PERIOD OF TIME. AND YESTERDAY, BECAUSE IT BROKE, HE DIDN'T GET TO RIDE THE BIKE. HE DIDN'T EVEN GET TO SIT ON IT. BUT IT'S NOT THE END OF THE ROAD. ARE YOU PLANNING TO BE BACK OUT THERE AND GIVING IT ANOTHER ATTEMPT AT SOME STAGE? OOH, THAT'S A HARD QUESTION. I THINK THE ANSWER TO THAT` EVERYBODY THAT KNOWS ME WOULD BE SURPRISED IF I SAID ANYTHING, BUT YES. A MAN ON A MISSION, AND YOU BET HE'S NOT DONE YET. JORDAN OPPERT, 1 NEWS.
