00:00 Good morning. Good morning, your majesty.
00:02 Good morning.
00:03 It's absolutely lovely to see you.
00:04 It was quite a frosty journey.
00:05 I bet it was.
00:06 Yes, sorry, we're a bit late, I'm afraid.
00:08 Perfectly okay. How is his majesty?
00:10 He's fine, thank you very much.
00:11 Thank you.
00:12 I look forward to getting back to work.
00:13 Absolutely.
00:14 Thank you.
00:15 Hello.
00:16 Hello.
00:17 Nice to see you. It's a bit warmer in here.
00:19 I'm going to need you to give me my hat.
00:22 That's very nice, because you're taking charge.
00:24 I'm taking charge.
00:25 How do they hear about it?
00:46 I mean, the general public, is it word of mouth?
00:50 I'm not sure.
00:54 Thank you.
01:00 Very happy to meet you.
01:01 If you wouldn't mind taking the other side.
01:03 This side?
01:04 Yes, please.
01:16 I'd like to congratulate everyone here for having this wonderful project.
01:21 I hope a lot of other cities will follow suit.
01:25 It's so important to have a safe space for people who've undergone all these terrible things.
01:32 Somewhere where they can come, sit and feel safe, and have somebody to talk to who understands what they're going through.
01:39 I think you're pioneers to have it in this wonderful gallery, which I've had the pleasure of visiting before.
01:47 Just to say, it helps so much with this campaign to hopefully one day obliterate this terrible domestic abuse.
01:59 Having talked to some of the women who formed a little committee over there, a lot of very strong women,
02:06 I think Scotland's going the right way about it.
02:10 We just need more people to get involved and more people to be heard.
02:15 Because the more it's talked about, the more people are able to do something about it.
02:21 So, anyway, thank you all very much.
