00:00 So guys, I'm ready to read you, yeah? What's your favourite colour on the book?
00:04 Red.
00:05 Red?
00:06 Red?
00:09 You're hiding? You look really cool.
00:12 Elmer was patchwork. Elmer was yellow and orange and red and pink and purple and who could he sleep with? The thickest.
00:20 And the thickest that he...
00:22 As he walked through the jungle, Elmer met other animals.
00:26 Elmer caught hold of the bush and shook it and shook it so that all the berries fell.
00:31 We must celebrate this day every year.
00:33 It was so important to be here because I've worked with the elephant family for so many years now and they're a charity so close to my heart, so close to my family's heart.
00:42 And Mark Shand, who started the charity, was a dear friend and what they're doing in saving elephants and making sure that people are aware of what's going on around elephants and in the wildlife is so important for the world to know.
00:58 You know, the legacy that they've created and the excitement around egg hunts or elephant hunts, which there was a few years ago, or bamboo elephants in Hyde Park, like, it just makes it for... it brings it to London.
01:12 It brings elephants to London, which I've never seen before and I don't think anyone else has.
01:16 So I really think that bridging that gap between what happens in the wild, though we might not see it every day, actually can come to a city and you can learn about just what goes on and how elephants really need to be looked after and protected because there is this human-wildlife conflict happening and it's so important that elephants live in peace and humans live in peace.
01:35 They're all so beautiful.
01:37 I kind of love the lobster and the egg because Philippe was saying that breakfast is so important and the egg is such an amazing shape and I really agree with him. I love eggs.
01:47 And I love Easter.
