for Holy Week from York Minster and Jerusalem From Jerusalem Geoffrey Wheeler relates the unfolding drama that took place there 2,000 years ago and meets visitors from Britain who talk of their feelings as they stand where the events happened.
In the spectacular setting of York Minster, Christians from the area are joined by returning pilgrims from Jerusalem to sing the well-loved hymns of Holy Week.
But it's the children of both cities that begin the joint celebration by re-enacting - as children the world over love to do -Jesus' triumphant Palm Sunday entry into Jerusalem-a procession that begins at the foot of the Hill of Olives and ends in the Great Nave of York Minster.
Ride on! ride on in majesty (Winchester new); All glory, laud, and honour (St Theodulph); Praise to the holiest in the height (Gerontius); Drop, drop slow tears (Orlando Gibbons); My song is love unknown (Love unknown); A cry in the night (Notting Hill); 0 sacred head sore wounded (Passion chorale); When I survey (Rockingham) Conductor PHILIP MOORE

The Glens of Antrim come down from the quiet of the hills to the narrow water which links them with Scotland. Every Irish exile knows of the peace of these nine green glens. Visitors from many nations have been drawn there by stories of their beauty and the hospitality of the Glensfolk. In Glenaan is the reputed grave of Ossian, the greatest Celtic poet; Cushendun was the home of Moira O'Neill , poetess of the Glens; and in the same village the English Poet Laureate John Masefield found a wife.
In this, the most Irish part of the north of Ireland, Jack McCann , founder of the Glens of Antrim Historical Society, gives his impressions of this quiet land.
