For Canadians 1984 has been a year of reminiscence, with memories galore as the population celebrated a whole series of anniversaries.
It's 450 years since the French explorer Jacques Cartier discovered the St Lawrence river, 200 years since the thousands of British 'loyalists' fled north to settle there after the American War of Independence, 150 years since the city of Toronto was founded. In the first part of their Canadian tour HM The Queen and HRH The Duke of Edinburgh have been attending some of the celebrations to mark these significant dates in Canada's past. Reporter Kate Adie

The Fourth Stage
E. R. Sethuram is a successful newspaper editor in southern
India. Approaching retirement, he is more and more attracted by the Hindu tradition of 'Sannyas' - renouncing the pleasures of life, leaving behind family, friends and all worldly possessions, to become a wandering monk. But how will his family react? And does he really want to embrace poverty and anonymity?
Everyman follows Sethuram as he wrestles with his decision, from his home in Bangalore, via a remote monastery in the hills, to the banks of the Ganges.
'In India, old age has always been a time for spiritual journeys. Not a time for just ruminating on the past, but something more challenging - new beginning.' Film editor TERRY GABELL
