Some 1,500 years ago, St Patrick crossed from Roman Britain, sailed up Strangford Lough and landed in Co Down on his mission to evangelise the Irish.
This St Patrick's weekend Alan Titchmarsh visits the small market-garden town of Comber at the top of the Lough and meets those who still share the saint's faith. The people of the surrounding countryside join in the songs dear to them at the Second Comber Presbyterian Church. For the Might of Thme Arm (Cormac); I Bind unto Myself Today (St Patrick); Praise to the Lord (Lobe den Herren); Great Is Thy Faithfulness; My Spirit Longs for Thee (Fingal); Love Divine. All Loves Excelling (Hyfrydol); Christ Be Beside Me (Bunessan); Father Eternal. Ruler of Creation (Old 124th)
