00:44I'm a Delegate.
00:45I'm a Delegate.
00:46So nice to see you.
00:47I'm Deputy Chief Constable Margaret Black.
00:48Hello.
00:49Nice to see you.
00:50Nice to see you.
00:51You too.
00:52So we've had a long time.
00:53That's good to hear.
00:54We've had a long time.
00:55That's fantastic.
00:56Our Chief Executive, Jeremy.
00:57I'm really delighted to introduce you to, these three ladies are Derrick Evans' daughters
01:04and Derrick Evans was the founder of the foster care club.
01:11Hello.
01:12Nice to meet you.
01:13Lovely to meet you.
01:14Hello.
01:16She's from Arville, again, who are fantastic supporters, very, very much about sustainability
01:22and they provide us with our electric vans and are also about to start a big sustainability
01:28fund.
01:29And this is Newell, who's the Chief Financial Officer at Nationwide, again, who's been
01:34supporting us for, I thought 25 years, but Derrick Evans' daughters are now 25 years
01:38old.
01:40Lots of money.
01:41Lots of money.
01:42And it is a house for the Royal Connection.
01:43Did you have a visitor, not you personally, back in the day?
01:44Yes.
01:45We had Queen Elizabeth I visited in the 1500s.
01:46Oh, 1500s!
01:47I was going to say the first.
01:48I don't know why you're carrying on.
01:49I'm not that old.
01:50Oh, goodness.
01:51I know.
01:52I know.
01:53I know.
01:54I know.
01:55I know.
01:56I know.
01:57I know.
01:58I know.
01:59I know.
02:00I know.
02:01I know.
02:02I know.
02:03I know.
02:04I know.
02:05I know.
02:06I know.
02:07I know.
02:08Oh I'm going to get stepped on.
02:09That could be interesting.
02:10It's getting more dangerous.
02:11I'm named Birthed Rock Park, it's less sensitive.
02:12Oh, let's find.
02:13Hold on a second then.
02:14There's language in there.
02:15I go trough to the ê·¸ë ‡ì£ ,
02:25So your point goes, which is exactly right, because a child might say it hurts and may
02:30be articulating that they are angry, or some people say on the cross because they don't
02:35have permission to say they are angry.
02:37Well, there will be old kids who will say, ouch.
02:40But they haven't learned the word pain yet.
02:43And they haven't learned this idea
02:45that it might be something punitive.
02:50So it clearly speaks to the evolution of language
02:54that we're now using a word rooted
02:56in a religious context that actually
02:59has come to mean something entirely different.
03:03Yeah.
03:03With her.
03:04Yeah.
03:04Exactly.
03:05The stack.
03:05Exactly.
03:10Something like this is to kind of help everybody
03:13think more holistically, rather than reduce everything
03:16to something that's social or something physiological.
03:19It's how to see the whole person in the various things we do.
03:23Would that be a fair answer?
03:24Yes.
03:25Yes.
03:25Absolutely.
03:26Very helpful.
03:29People help us.
03:31Yes.
03:35Thank you very much.
03:36Thanks, everybody.
03:37You want to come and join us?
03:39Yes, I'd love to introduce you to people.
03:43Sometimes I'll lose you, so I'll recognize you.
03:47I didn't know what he wanted, surrounded by his family.
03:51You couldn't have asked for more.
03:52You couldn't wish for more.
03:54I think that's a positive.
03:55No, you could wish for a good death.
03:58Yes.
03:58It's so, so important.
04:00So important.
04:01On that slide, there should be so many more of these auspices.
04:06Very much so.
04:07I can't believe that we've got safety in this country.
04:10I think that's the big fear, isn't it?
04:12Yes.
04:25Your Majesty, if I could ask you to unveil a plaque that
04:28celebrates your government's education.
04:31Well, you can put it either way.
04:47I just wanted to say, this is my third visit to Prospect.
04:53And every time I come here, I come away feeling so impressed
04:58and feeling so lucky, actually, that Wiltshire has something
05:04like this to look after people who are at the end of their life.
05:10All these auspices, you expect to go in and feel sad and depressed.
05:15But here, you don't.
05:16It has a very uplifting feel.
05:19You've got this wonderful feeling of light and these sort of nurses
05:24looking after you so beautifully and surrounded by your family.
05:28And like all of us, we have to go.
05:31But someone like Prospect makes all the difference.
05:37Because you go in peace.
05:39You go surrounded by people you love.
05:41You're having the best care.
05:43And as I've said time and time again, I wish we could play
05:46these places, because there aren't nearly enough of them.
05:50We just have to keep them going.
05:53I know a lot of people help out.
05:55But it's going to need a lot more help than that.
05:58I just hope people realise how powerful these places are.
06:02Thank you so much.
06:04APPLAUSE
06:11So the plaque has been unveiled.
06:13That's all about sharing education and knowledge.
06:15Her Majesty's next move is all about sharing cake.
06:18LAUGHTER
06:20If you could just at least...
06:22It's beautiful, the cake.
06:24I'll put it on the...
06:26It's salty and three different...
06:28Oops.
06:32There we are.
06:34Something's going to get sliced.
06:36I'm sure there's something delicious in it.
06:38Thank you so much.
06:40Thank you very much indeed.
06:42There's a lot in there.
06:44Absolutely beautiful.
06:46What have we got here?
06:48What's that?
06:50Oh, thank you so much.
06:52That's really lovely.
06:56APPLAUSE
07:22Thank you so much.
07:32LAUGHTER
07:50Thank you very much.
08:22LAUGHTER
08:53Thank you very much.
08:59Goodbye, everybody.
09:01APPLAUSE
