BBC Weather and the Shipping Forecast at 100
The Shipping Forecast has been keeping sailors around the coast of the British Isles safe for more than 100 years.
It was first introduced by Vice Admiral Robert Fitzroy, founder of the Met Office after 460 people on a steam clipper lost their lives off the coast of Anglesey in a storm in 1859.
The forecast has a special place in many people's hearts - including ours at BBC Weather, being just one of the bulletins we regularly deliver across the day.
Simon King shares how he prepares for it to celebrate the centenary year of it first being broadcast on the BBC.
