with Thora Hird
For her last programme in this year's series of viewers' letters and hymn requests, Thora thinks about old age and remembrance. 'The last post' is played once more from the chapel of the Royal Hospital, Chelsea, and she closes with perhaps the best loved of all hymns -' Abide with me'.
The Lord's my Shepherd (Crimond); How sweet the name of Jesus sounds (St Peter ); Immortal, invisible (St Denio); God be in my head (God be in my head); Onward Christian soldiers (St Gertrude); 0 valiant hearts (The supreme sacrifice); The last post and reveille; Drop, drop slow tears; Abide with me (Eventide)
