Songs of Praise viewers wowed by the beauty of Holy Island in special Easter broadcast

Christians across the UK enjoyed beautiful scenes from Lindisfarne this weekend as the Northumberland island played host to the Easter Sunday broadcast of Songs of Praise.

The BBC One religious programme, which has been on our screens since 1961, celebrated the centuries-old Christian heritage of the tidal island and explored its significance to people of that faith today.

Featuring two hymns sung by parishioners at St Mary's church, on the island, as well as a number of songs from churches and cathedrals across the country, the show shone a spotlight on the pilgrims who, for nearly 50 years, have been journeying to the island on foot every Easter.
