Songs Of Praise

For Easter Sunday Aled Jones visits Bangor Cathedral to hear the Easter story and reminisces about his early years singing in the cathedral choir - especially on Easter Sundays.

Also, on the 20th anniversary of the signing of the Good Friday Agreement Claire McCollum is in her hometown of Belfast to learn more about its lasting impact on today’s society. Claire visits a charity where divisions have been put aside for unity and peace.

50 years after the death of Martin Luther King Junior, we’re in Newcastle Upon Tyne where in 1967 he spoke at the university. Little did people know then that the speech he gave would be his last outside the USA before his assassination in 1968.

Finally we visit RAF Valley celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Royal Air Force and the start of their celebrations. Aled finds out more about the airbase he lived close to as a child, learns how they are marking the anniversary and gets a close up tour of one of today’s fast jets.
