01:40 It is after 11 o'clock, you should have been up by now.
01:42 Hello, Sleaford!
01:44 [Cheering]
01:46 Excellent.
01:48 I bring you salutations
01:50 and felicitations
01:52 from Sleaford,
01:54 the heart of Lincolnshire.
01:56 Our beautiful
01:58 marketplace lies
02:00 in the shadow of
02:02 St. Denys Church.
02:04 Its 12th century
02:06 stone-broached fire
02:08 is one of the earliest
02:10 examples of its kind
02:12 in the country.
02:14 Cuddleston Mill,
02:16 our award-winning,
02:18 fully restored,
02:20 working watermill,
02:22 is thought to be
02:24 the only Sheriff's watermill
02:26 still operating
02:28 in England.
02:30 We also have
02:32 the National Centre for Craft
02:34 and Design,
02:36 which is home to England's
02:38 largest exhibition
02:40 space dedicated
02:42 to craft and design.
02:44 And Eric
02:46 Thompson,
02:48 father of actor
02:50 Emma Thompson, was
02:52 born in Sleaford.
02:54 He created
02:56 and narrated the
02:58 English version of
03:00 The Magic Roundabout.
03:02 So, as
03:04 St. Denys said,
03:06 "Bye!"
03:08 God
03:10 save the King!
03:12 God save the King!
03:14 [applause]
03:16 [bell ringing]
03:18 [bell ringing]
03:20 [bell ringing]
03:22 Oh yes!
03:24 [bell ringing]
03:26 Oh yes!
03:28 [bell ringing]
03:30 Oh yes!
03:32 [bell ringing]
03:34 [bell ringing]
03:36 Lichfield,
03:38 probably best known
03:40 for its three-spired
03:42 cathedral,
03:44 which dates back
03:46 to times medieval.
03:48 It is able
03:50 to trace its roots
03:52 back to the 7th century
03:54 and famed
03:56 for its intellectuals
03:58 of which
04:00 there are many.
04:02 One of the founding members
04:04 of the Lunar Society
04:06 was
04:08 the larger-than-life physician
04:10 Erasmus Darwin,
04:12 a man
04:14 of notoriety.
04:16 Possibly
04:18 the most famous
04:20 and second to none,
04:22 the author
04:24 of a dictionary
04:26 of the English language,
04:28 the lexicographer
04:30 Dr. Samuel Johnson.
04:32 Dr. Samuel Johnson.
04:34 Today,
04:36 Lichfield
04:38 is full of quaint
04:40 historic buildings
04:42 with a definite twist,
04:44 but nevertheless
04:46 remains a city
04:48 where new
04:50 and old coexist.
04:52 Lichfield,
04:54 I am sure
04:56 you will agree,
04:58 a city like
05:00 no other.
05:02 Salve
05:04 Magna Parens
05:06 Hail Great
05:08 Mother
05:10 God Save
05:12 Her Queen!

07:42 the town so
07:44 proud.
