Tonight from BBC North
The Day the Gala Came to Town
Once a year Yorkshire miners and their families gather to enjoy themselves at the NUM demonstration and gala. Last summer, in their thousands, they converged on Wakefield where 20 brass bands led the parade to Thornes Park for a day of relaxation and fun. Even Arthur Scargill was heard telling jokes against himself!

Robin Ray introduces the Te Deum by BERLIOZ
When it was first shown last year in a live relay from the Whitworth Hall of Manchester University, this production of Berlioz's resounding Te Deum was hailed as ' a spectacular success ... a visual as well as aural triumph.'
Written, as so often with Berlioz, for huge forces - tenor soloist, three choirs, organ and orchestra - the Te Deum is being repeated as part of the Jubilee celebrations, to mark the outstanding contribution of the choral tradition to British music-making. John Elwes (tenor)

An inside view of Black Washington
Ieuan Davies arrived in Washington DC in the middle of the riots which followed the assassination of Martin Luther King. For ten years he's lived with the black community there and seen it take over the government of the capital of the US. Today the Welsh priest is, officially, a Commissioner for Civil Rights and adviser on drug abuse to the Mayor of Washington but, among his black neighbours, he remains a misfit as well as a missionary, a foreigner as well as a friend.
