from Jarrow
Jarrow became world famous 45 years ago on 5 October, when 200 people set off with a petition to march almost 300 miles to the House of Commons in London.
Sam Rowan returns to the spot where the march began, to tell Geoffrey Wheeler about his memories of the famous crusade against unemployment and poverty.
Sam gathers with other towns-people to sing some of their favourite hymns in the church where the Venerable Bede worshipped 1,300 years ago; St Paul's.
