Songs of Praise

on BBC One London

from Clifton
The village of Clifton sits on the edge of the Avon Gorge, just ten minutes walk from
Bristol's city centre. It is best known for Brunei's famous suspension bridge, built over 100 years ago, and more recently for its Roman
Catholic Cathedral of St Peter and St Paul, the newest cathedral in Britain, where
Christians from the area have come together to sing their favourite hymns.
Cliff Michelmore comes to Clifton to hear about the wedding that almost didn't take place. Granville and Sandra Sykes postponed their engagement when Granville contracted cancer and entered hospital for extensive treatment. He tells the amazing story of how God sustained him through his darkest hours.
