Those of you who watch Songs of Praise may have seen Loretta Williams, one of the retired Readers from Ripon Cathedral, being interviewed by Aled Jones, last Sunday. In a fascinating snapshot of broadcasting 70 years ago, the programme showed The Revd J.G.Williams (Loretta's husband) leading daily prayer from Trinity Chapel in St Paul's Church, Bedford, to which city parts of the BBC service had been evacuated in the early years of the war. Loretta speaks movingly of the dedication of the clergy who kept daily worship broadcasts going in the most hopeless and difficult days of the war. If you didn't see it, it's at

Loretta's interview is about 4 minutes 30 seconds in.
