00:00 Here we are, almost just over 40 years since this shop originally opened back
00:07 in July 1983. I thought it was really quite nice for us to be able to mark
00:14 this occasion because this shop's been a huge part of Stanford High Street, you
00:20 think of the way it's changed over the years and Wilco's been here the whole
00:24 time and at 5.30 tonight it stopped trading in Stanford for the last time
00:31 and I just thought it'd be great to get people together in Stanford to actually
00:39 mark that to say thank you to all those who've worked past and present Wilco and
00:47 give them a round of applause here today so if you'd like to join me in that
00:51 really appreciate it and thank you Wilco.
