00:00So are you enjoying the Twelfth today Robbie? It's absolutely brilliant, we've got the weather,
00:03we've got the people, we've got the bands, we've got the orange men and women, it's
00:06really really good and the form seems to be really really top-notch for people.
00:11It's really good to see so many young people actually here today. Yeah, this is your
00:14home patch isn't it? This is, it's kind of, the boundary changes have kind of
00:18threw it out a little bit, but this is certainly, this is Lisburn District and it's
00:22now in Dunmurray, Derryachie this year, so it's been a really good turnout and
00:26the weather makes it, it really does, and it's just good to see so many young
00:30people having good fun and we've got a wee park here, all the young people are
00:34coming in, having done their walk, having watched the bands and are now on the
00:37swings in the roundabout, I think I might join them actually. It's been a difficult
00:40sort of six months year for Unionists generally, but there's no real sign of
00:44that here today, people are very united. People are very united, lots of chats about the
00:48election, but more chats about the opportunities coming up, so in three
00:51years time we have the Assembly and Council elections combined, so we need to
00:55get that energy, get that second wind and just come out and fight for Northern
01:01Ireland and fight for a better outcome for all of us, so lots of people are
01:04having genuinely really positive chats today, so I'm going to stay for a wee
01:08while and have a few more.
