The Queen in her own words Quiet, impeccably mannered, but always addressing with poise and precision, what Queen Elizabeth II says is always worth hearing.

The Queen and Diana The idea that the Queen was in some way unapproving of Diana is one that has permeated the popular press and, it might be said, has left an indelible stain on the reputation of both. Yet many biographers have noted that the relationship between the two was excellent, even after the break-up of Diana’s marriage to Prince Charles.

“No one who knew Diana will ever forget her. Millions of others who never met her, but felt they knew her, will remember her.

“She was an exceptional and gifted human being. In good times and bad, she never lost her capacity to smile and laugh, nor to inspire others with her warmth and kindness. I admired and respected her - for her energy and commitment to others, and especially for her devotion to her two boys.”

Serving her country Upon the Queen’s coronation, she declared herself fully at the service of the nation she was serving, as have all Monarchs coming to the throne. While the words are regularly spoken, the intensity with which they were said perhaps should have given

6

some indication that Elizabeth truly was giving herself over to the nation, a

efforts, their talents, their insights, their enthusiasm and their inspiration to work together.” fact that has been borne out in the 70 years that have followed.

“I declare before you all that my whole life, whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to your service and the service of our great imperial family to which we all belong.”

Struggles Taking strength from all around her, the Queen has never professed to have all the answers.

“I know of no single formula for success. But over the years I have observed that some attributes of leadership are universal and are often about finding ways of encouraging people to combine their

Family Bringing the royals back to a status where people can empathise and share in the joys and pain of the family unit, is something Elizabeth has excelled in.

“Like all best families, we have our share of eccentricities, of impetuous and wayward youngsters and of family disagreements.”

Contrition Finally, the Queen has not only had to reference and apologise for events that occurred long before she was born.

“To all those who have suffered as a consequence of our troubled past I extend my sincere thoughts and deep sympathy. With the benefit of historical hindsight we can all see things which we would wish had been done differently or not at all.”

Mayor’s Message As we went to print, a new Mayor of Weymouth, Ann Weaving, and a new Deputy Mayor, Tia Roos were elected at Weymouth Town Council’s annual meeting.

More from Ann in our July edition. In the meantime, there are so many exciting things going on in Weymouth that we want to share with you.

June is a time for multiple celebrations in Weymouth, which started with the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee at the start of the month.

Crowds turned out for a firework display along the seafront, and a beacon lighting ceremony was held to mark this very special occasion.

And Weymouth will host a three-day celebration in support of our armed forces - past, present and future - over the weekend of Saturday 18th, Sunday 19th, and Monday 20th June. The main events will take place on Weymouth’s seafront and this year the event commemorates the 40th anniversary of the Falklands War. On Saturday 18th June at 10am, over 60 historic military vehicles will arrive on the forecourt of Weymouth Pavilion for an interactive display where you can take a closer look at the vehicles. They will then leave this location at around 3.30pm and parade along the seafront. The day will also feature music of the era from 11am to 3pm, and various charity and awareness

stalls will be located on the seafront throughout the day.

Sunday 19th June is a more formal day with an outdoor service and parade at the Weymouth Cenotaph starting at 11am. The service will be hosted by the new Mayor of Weymouth, with the Lord Lieutenant of Dorset also in attendance. Following the service, a parade will be led by Falklands veterans, followed by the local cadet divisions and historic military vehicles.

On Monday 20th June at 10.30am, the Mayor of Weymouth will host an Armed Forces flag raising ceremony at Weymouth Town Council’s offices on Commercial Road. Our armed forces and veterans have made and continue to make a significant contribution to our nation and with the current situation in Ukraine, this year’s event is especially poignant. Weymouth will continue to honour, celebrate and provide a focus on the tireless work carried out by all veteran’s associations, individuals and today’s military forces.

And on a different note, Weymouth Town Council is on the lookout for the next councillor to represent Wyke Regis, following an announcement by Becky Blake that she had stood down.

The Mention of Reinvention Daniel Radcliffe’s ability to embrace new projects across multiple mediums is no less admirable than his willingness to reference the past, and a certain wizard who just won’t go away.

Change and reinvention for Daniel Radcliffe has never been in doubt. Of course, the 32-year-old, to some, will always be Harry Potter, no matter how much the genre changes or the boyish good looks lessen.

“I learned a long time ago you can’t keep going back to the well,” he admits. “Harry Potter was great but, you know, I was a kid, and I’m definitely not that kid now.

“Of course I will always be grateful, and I know to a certain generation they would love me to stay that character forever, but for my own sanity I had to reinvent as far away from that

as I could, and I feel I have done that.

“And besides, what film does is immortalises people in that moment… so I will always be there, in one sense.”

Since the final Potter film screened in 2011, Radcliffe has extended his range with a series of daring performances in horror films (The Woman in Black and Victor Frankenstein), dramas (Kill Your Darlings and The Gamechangers), and edgy comedies (Horns and Swiss Army Man). He’s also made a name for himself on stage in Equus (famously appearing naked), How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, and Broadway play Privacy.

“I don’t have any strategy other than to choose projects that make me happy and satisfy me creatively.

“It starts with the script, but I’m also anxious to work with actors and directors I admire, and who are going to help me grow as an individual and evolve in my profession.”

For a while, it

12

seemed as though Radcliffe, who is in a long-term relationship with actress Erin Darke, was going to head the way of emotive, intellectual independent movies. After all, that would match the headspace he occupied as a kid growing up writing and poetry – two things he loves. “I think my love of words comes from having grown up surrounded by books, scripts, and plays.

My father was an agent whose clients were writers and directors and there were always stacks of books lying around the house.

“I didn’t read that much when I was a child but suddenly around the age of 14, I began to devour everything, especially books on history. I still read a lot although now it’s mainly nonfiction. Reading and writing are great passions of mine and I think that has helped me in terms of choosing scripts.

“Ultimately, whatever it is – TV, film, stage – I know what makes me tick and I look forward to the next job, and making the best of that experience.”

Take a walk on the wild side in Dorset: 30 Days Wild, the UK’s biggest nature challenge, is back!

Dorset Wildlife Trust is inviting everyone to take part in the UK’s biggest nature challenge which kicks off on 1 June 2022 with the Big Wild Breakfast, the first of the ‘random acts of wildness’ designed to bring people across Dorset closer to nature every day in June. Across Dorset, there are so many opportunities to connect with nature from the beautiful Jurassic coast to chalk streams, forests, heaths and meadows. To mark the 30 Days Wild Weekend on Saturday 18 June, there will be a series of events at Dorset Wildlife Trust visitor centres including the opportunity to explore moths at the Kingcombe Visitor Centre or take part in the Brownsea Island early bird walk and breakfast. Find out more here Events | Dorset Wildlife Trust Last year a record 760,000 people took part in 30 Days Wild which is for people of all ages and from all backgrounds. From mums, dads and kids to schools and care homes, participants come from all walks of life. Last year supporters across the UK completed over 16 million acts of wildness; the most popular activities were wildlife-watching, eating outdoors, planting wildflower seeds and listening to birdsong.

A survey of 2021 participants revealed that the pandemic positively affected their appreciation of the natural world, and that by connecting with nature, people were inspired to take action for the world around them: 14

• 78% of participants said the pandemic made them value nature more.

• 88% said they were very likely to make their garden more wildlife-friendly after participating in 30 Days Wild, or had already done so.

• 74% said they had either already taken action to reduce their carbon footprint or were very likely to after taking part in 30 Days Wild.

Brian Bleese, Chief executive of Dorset Wildlife Trust, says: “30 Days Wild is a great opportunity to take a little time to do one ‘wild’ thing every day throughout June – whether it’s listening to birdsong, seeing a butterfly, walking on the beach, going to one of our 40 nature reserves and 4 visitor centres across the county or watching our barn owl webcam at Lorton Meadows from the comfort of your own home. The annual nature challenge not only connects you with nature but the research tells us that keeping it wild will actually make you happier and healthier too.”

Jennie Bond A portrait of the Queen, by revered royal correspondent, Jennie Bond.

Jennie Bond worked as Royal Correspondent for the BBC throughout the Nineties, covering some of the happiest, most tragic and scandalous moments that have befallen the family in recent times.

“At the heart of it, I am fan of royalty and a fan of the family unit,” she says. “The trials that the Royal Family have been through are really no different to our own, and that should reassure them as well as us.

They are human beings, and fate doesn’t shine brighter on them, because the everyday gains and losses that are just part of being alive.

“Ultimately, it is how you come back from the challenges that really matters – and the Queen has, over the past seven decades, truly shown herself to be the most resilient person possible.”

Bond is certainly relieved our Head of State has styled and

18

positioned herself with such a brand of quiet authority. “You could arguably look at almost everyone around the Queen and pick out faults and failings,” she says.

“We’ve seen so many in recent years, to the extent we don’t need to name the culprits or the dealings.

“Yet when you shine that light on the Queen it’s really difficult, at any point, to say, ‘you got that wrong’, or ‘this could have been done better’.

“I think with Elizabeth we tend to take that for granted – we tend to just accept she is like that without contemplating what sort of royal landscape we would have with someone less capable at the helm.”

As far as privacy goes, the

Queen values it, but respects the need to be visible and approachable. “Elizabeth is funny, charismatic, sharp as anything, but I think worn down at times by the sheer weight of what it is she has to do. It’s no easy task for someone in their nineties and no amount of wealth or privilege will compensate for what is an incredible commitment to her people,” says Bond.

“I have had the honour of covering a lot of royal moments of great importance… moments in history I suppose – Princess Diana’s death, the Queen Mother’s death, the divorce of Charles and Diana. All those were very important moments I had to report on. But honestly, I think the jubilee celebrations and the pomp and pageantry is the most important. I know it signifies a simple anniversary – just a date in the calendar – but more than that it’s a way of looking back over the continued efforts of someone so brave and inspiring, and is the perfect way to say ‘thank you’ to a very special lady.”

Greenfingers… the Alan Titchmarsh column He’s a brilliant presenter, accomplished gardener, talented novelist and all-round horticultural inspiration. This month, Alan Titchmarsh talks about immersing ourselves in the great outdoors this summer.

back that the person isn’t into nature, or doesn’t know where to start when it comes to pruning or trimming.

Get out! Get out! Get out!

Yes, you – I’m telling you to get up, put your shoes on, open the door and immerse yourself in what a wonderful country and wonderful landscape this is.

Even after my 70-plus years here, I am proud and passionate and loyal to the UK, and I could never live anywhere else; and while those emotions hold firm all year round, in my mind there is never a better time to soak up the majesty of nature than now, with the sun out, the days growing longer, and nature unequivocally at her most resplendent.

When I suggest getting outdoors in this way – and I suggest it a lot! – on some occasions I get the answer

In reality, it doesn’t matter. Of course I want our gardens to be at their most beautiful as regularly as they can, but these spaces are as much about what they give us, as they are what we give them.

So while our own lawns and beds and trellises are often a priority, in these early days of summer I would encourage you to take the opportunity to sample those of others… in the wild, at a country house, even at a neighbour’s. They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so get out there, get imitating, and get inspired.

And by the way, take your kids… every time. Get them off their consoles, prise them away from social media – it’s really good for

20

them to see this whole other side of things. It’s funny, the three big things government are always ranting on about are law and order, health, and education. That’s fair enough.

And yet, time outdoors, time gardening, gives us all of them.

If you’re letting off steam, you’re less likely to use your anger in a place where it wouldn’t be suitable.

If you’re out there, you’re learning about how things grow, so that’s the education element.

And the health part is obvious fresh air, exercise, open spaces gardens, parks, woodland, moorland.

I know it sounds terribly tribe, but I do think if some of these world leaders just went out and pottered about in their garden for an hour every Saturday letting off steam, the world just might be a better place!

So, please… get out!

A Design for Life… The Kevin McCloud Column Designer, writer and television presenter, Kevin McCloud leapt into our consciousness with his vastly successful Grand Designs show on Channel 4. This month, the affable architectural business owner talks about the very first and most basic element of any project, communication.

I take it as a huge compliment when I see the Grand Designs format taken to foreign shores. In particular, our Grand Designs Abroad project, which is going back well over 15 years now, saw us working with ambitious homeowners in France, Italy and Spain in undertaking ventures to make their design dreams come true.

What dawned on me is the fact that anything is possible when you are able to communicate a concept… clearly, concisely, properly. In reality, that’s no more difficult to do in a foreign language than it is in English.

After all, how often do we see home improvement shows here in the UK where the concept of what someone wants ends up a million miles from what they get?!

It all comes down to interaction and being clear as far as what

38

we want and what we don’t want.

I do believe in rural areas it’s a bit easier to harvest contacts and make a difference,

but wherever you are, city or countryside, the Loire Valley or London, ultimately what makes a difference is working on and solidifying personal relations. It’s about sitting down, being firm but polite, offering incentives and trying to get others investing in your project. Above all else, it’s about communicating.

And that communication doesn’t end when you’ve had your house extension done; it should carry on over time.

When we returned to France to catch up with some of our couples, it was great to see so

many of them fully integrated into their communities.

Their contribution wasn’t just about adding to the local economy but learning the language and forming genuine friendships so that they could be really engaged with becoming part of that place.

After all, a home is an entity not just in the context of what’s inside it, but what’s around it as well, and that’s always worth bearing in mind.

People buy into people, and it’s amazing the extra lengths all of us will go to when we like, trust and believe in the people who come to us for help and support. So as I said at the start, communication is the first step… and sometimes the biggest one you’ll make, as well, so get it right!

WEYMOUTH: SCULPTURE TRAIL Between Beach and Backwater You may have noticed a few new artistic additions to Weymouth Town Centre recently?

Weymouth Sculpture Trail - Between Beach and Backwater is a collection of six new artworks inspired by the town’s rich heritage, maritime history and its relationship with water and highlights some of the challenges for coastal towns and climate change.

Following a series of consultation walks and talks with Weymouth residents in 2018, six artists were chosen to create the artworks for the trail - Dorset artists Ben Russell, Denman & Gould and Alex Evans, Nigel Ross (Dundee), Steve Geliot (Brighton) and Raphael Daden (Nottingham) were selected from hundreds of applications.

The project was funded by Dorset Council and Weymouth Town Council and uses a wide range of materials, techniques and interpretations to tell the story of the town - from beautiful Portland stone carved corals, duelling crabs to futuristic augmented reality there is plenty to inspire and enjoy.

Each artwork in some way reflects the stories connected to their location.

Many of them are useful too, offering somewhere to sit down for a while and chat, or just to look around you.

The theme of water runs through each of the artworks, which are never far from water bottle refill units. So, take a wander and explore your local town centre and discover something new!

They also make fantastic selfie backdrops so take a pic for your social media, using #WeymouthSculptureTrail to share our beautiful town with the world.

There is a free map and guide and a limited-edition artists illustrated zine with some fun activities for children to enjoy both available to collect from our office on Westham road, opposite Wilko.

For more information go to: www.visit-dorset.com/ weymouth-sculpture-trail or pop along to the Weymouth Information Shop opposite M&S on St Mary Street.
