S1980 E39 • for Remembrance Sunday from Cannock, Staffordshire

Songs of Praise for Remembrance Sunday from Cannock, Staffordshire Introduced by Geoffrey Wheeler For the people who stood at the war memorial in the small town of Cannock in Staffordshire this morning, today is something more than a national festival of Remembrance. It's the time for them, and for millions of others all over Britain, to pay personal and often very painful respect to sons or fathers or perhaps the friends with whom they went to war - and who never returned. O God our help (St Anne); O praise ye (Laudate Dominum); Abide with me (Eventide); When morning gilds (Laudes Domini); And did those feet (Jerusalem); O valiant hearts (Ellers); Where have all the flowers gone?: Creator of the earth and skies (Breslau) Conductor ROLAND MEARS Organist PETER BALDOCK Film editor DAVID THOMSON Film director JIM MURRAY Producer MICHAEL SHOESMITH Series producer RAYMOND SHORT BBC Birmingham
