0:00:03 > 0:00:06She's the longest reigning monarch in British history

0:00:06 > 0:00:08and, this Thursday, Her Majesty the Queen

0:00:08 > 0:00:10celebrates her 90th birthday.

0:00:11 > 0:00:14In spite of becoming a nonagenarian,

0:00:14 > 0:00:16the Queen still works 40 hours a week,

0:00:16 > 0:00:20and it's that dedication to duty that leads many of us to ask,

0:00:20 > 0:00:22how does she do it?

0:00:24 > 0:00:27On Songs of Praise this week, I've come to Westminster Abbey

0:00:27 > 0:00:31to find out about something very important to Her Majesty.

0:00:31 > 0:00:35Something which has sustained and inspired her down the years,

0:00:35 > 0:00:37her personal faith.

0:00:37 > 0:00:40And I'll be meeting the organist honoured at this year's

0:00:40 > 0:00:44Royal Maundy ceremony for his five decades of service.

0:00:45 > 0:00:50I suppose really the 50 years has been one long Songs of Praise.

0:00:50 > 0:00:52HE LAUGHS

0:00:52 > 0:00:55To mark St George's Day, I'm at Windsor Castle to find out

0:00:55 > 0:00:59more about the man himself and his royal connections.

0:01:00 > 0:01:03And later I'll be giving you information about our brand-new

0:01:03 > 0:01:07competition to design a Christmas card in aid of Children In Need.

0:01:19 > 0:01:23Our music today reflects some of the Queen's favourite hymns

0:01:23 > 0:01:27and there will be a rousing performance from Katherine Jenkins.

0:01:27 > 0:01:31But we start with a hymn that was sung here in 1947

0:01:31 > 0:01:33at the wedding of the Queen and Prince Philip

0:01:33 > 0:01:36and, at that time, this tune was virtually unknown.

0:01:36 > 0:01:39So, it is thanks to her that it has now become so popular.

0:03:40 > 0:03:45It was here in Westminster Abbey in 1953

0:03:45 > 0:03:47that Her Majesty the Queen was crowned.

0:03:47 > 0:03:50It was a day full of pomp and ceremony,

0:03:50 > 0:03:54a celebration for the whole country and for the wider Commonwealth.

0:03:54 > 0:03:58Six months earlier, as part of her Christmas broadcast,

0:03:58 > 0:04:01the Queen spoke to the nation on the radio.

0:04:02 > 0:04:04- QUEENS ADDRESS: - I want to ask you all,

0:04:04 > 0:04:07whatever your religion may be,

0:04:07 > 0:04:10to pray for me on that day.

0:04:10 > 0:04:14To pray that God may give me wisdom and strength

0:04:14 > 0:04:17to carry out the solemn promises I shall be making.

0:04:19 > 0:04:22What is clear from that early broadcast is the emphasis

0:04:22 > 0:04:25the Queen places on her faith in God.

0:04:26 > 0:04:30So, to mark her 90th birthday, three Christian charities have

0:04:30 > 0:04:34published a special book exploring the significance of her beliefs.

0:04:34 > 0:04:36One of the authors is Mark Greene,

0:04:36 > 0:04:41and advising him is the Queen's Head of Royal Chaplains.

0:04:41 > 0:04:45So, Mark, the Queen has written the foreword for your book.

0:04:45 > 0:04:48Completely thrilled. Gobsmacked, surprised. Unbelievable honour.

0:04:48 > 0:04:50And very unusual, of course.

0:04:50 > 0:04:51Extremely unusual.

0:04:51 > 0:04:55I think she very rarely provides forewords to books, particularly

0:04:55 > 0:04:59about herself, which perhaps suggests how much this means to her.

0:04:59 > 0:05:00Well, it all happened here, didn't it?

0:05:00 > 0:05:03The Coronation, right here at Westminster Abbey.

0:05:03 > 0:05:05Now, she spoke about solemn promises.

0:05:05 > 0:05:07What would those promises have been?

0:05:07 > 0:05:12Basically, she promised to serve God and to serve her neighbour.

0:05:12 > 0:05:16In other words, all the citizens of her extensive, worldwide kingdom.

0:05:16 > 0:05:19And I think in everything she does, that's what she sees it as.

0:05:19 > 0:05:22I'm serving people, I'm serving the Commonwealth.

0:05:22 > 0:05:25I'm seeking to honour them, and celebrate them.

0:05:25 > 0:05:28And, in doing that, she was basically being obedient

0:05:28 > 0:05:31to the two great commandments in the Bible

0:05:31 > 0:05:34which was given to her, of course, in the service.

0:05:34 > 0:05:38To love God with all her heart and soul and mind and strength

0:05:38 > 0:05:41and to love her neighbour as herself.

0:05:41 > 0:05:43The Queen often talks about loving thy neighbour.

0:05:43 > 0:05:46I suppose sometimes we think of that as doing a kind act for somebody.

0:05:46 > 0:05:51But I think for her it is a very rich understanding of our...

0:05:51 > 0:05:56In a sense, our duty to make the best contribution we possibly

0:05:56 > 0:05:58can to the people around us.

0:06:00 > 0:06:03NATIONAL ANTHEM PLAYS

0:06:03 > 0:06:06For me, the life of Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace,

0:06:06 > 0:06:09whose birth we celebrate today,

0:06:09 > 0:06:13is an inspiration and an anchor in my life.

0:06:15 > 0:06:17When we were researching for the book, my co-author,

0:06:17 > 0:06:19Cath, and I, we read every single one

0:06:19 > 0:06:22of the Queen's Christmas speeches, and a lot of others beside.

0:06:22 > 0:06:25For example, in 2014, there's a beautiful bit about Jesus

0:06:25 > 0:06:28being her anchor and her inspiration.

0:06:28 > 0:06:31So, on the one hand, he's her security, her rock.

0:06:31 > 0:06:34And on the other hand, he's the one, if you like,

0:06:34 > 0:06:37who puts the wind in her sails and helps her move forward

0:06:37 > 0:06:39to face the challenges that she does.

0:06:40 > 0:06:44I think she sees the Church of England as being an organisation,

0:06:44 > 0:06:49an institution, that creates an atmosphere or ethos in the country

0:06:49 > 0:06:53where people of any faith or none can come together,

0:06:53 > 0:06:55can work together, for peace.

0:06:55 > 0:06:57And you hear this from the Chief Rabbi,

0:06:57 > 0:06:59you hear this from other faith leaders.

0:06:59 > 0:07:03Nobody does multi-faith better than the Queen.

0:07:03 > 0:07:05I think what we see in the Queen's life is that she's thought to be

0:07:05 > 0:07:10faithful to her God and faithful to us, to serve us.

0:07:10 > 0:07:13But, as she says in the foreword, to the book,

0:07:13 > 0:07:16he, indeed, has been faithful to her.

0:09:34 > 0:09:35Down the years,

0:09:35 > 0:09:37thousands of entertainers have performed for the Queen,

0:09:37 > 0:09:40including one man who's been singing for her

0:09:40 > 0:09:43since he was a young chorister at St Paul's Cathedral.

0:09:43 > 0:09:46Julian Ovenden, you might recognise him

0:09:46 > 0:09:49from the dashing role he played on Downton Abbey.

0:09:49 > 0:09:53But he has a wonderful singing voice, as you hear on his new album.

0:09:53 > 0:09:55# I guess she's not...

0:09:55 > 0:09:57# She's not for me. #

0:09:58 > 0:10:00So, I know you've sung for the Queen on many occasions,

0:10:00 > 0:10:02from what to what?

0:10:02 > 0:10:05Well, certainly from St Paul's Cathedral,

0:10:05 > 0:10:08from big sort of ceremonial services, to...

0:10:08 > 0:10:13I've done some charity galas, I've done some private events for her

0:10:13 > 0:10:17and, yeah, it's sort of slightly...

0:10:17 > 0:10:20slightly strange, really, to be singing to the Queen

0:10:20 > 0:10:23when she is sort of sat where you are,

0:10:23 > 0:10:27singing up close and personal, but a great privilege.

0:10:27 > 0:10:30And you have a very special date coming up, don't you?

0:10:30 > 0:10:32Amazingly, I've been asked to sing

0:10:32 > 0:10:35at her 90th birthday party at Windsor Castle.

0:10:35 > 0:10:38- On the day?- On the day, yes.

0:10:38 > 0:10:41I don't think I'll be... Hopefully, I won't be appearing out of a cake.

0:10:41 > 0:10:45But, yes, so that's really a great honour

0:10:45 > 0:10:46and I look forward to it very much.

0:10:46 > 0:10:49But in many ways, you are performing

0:10:49 > 0:10:52for someone who has almost become an old family friend?

0:10:52 > 0:10:57Well, sort of. My father was one of her chaplains for 15 years

0:10:57 > 0:11:02and looked after her spiritual life in Windsor.

0:11:02 > 0:11:06So, did you, therefore, see her in some quite informal situations?

0:11:06 > 0:11:07Yes, there was an event every year

0:11:07 > 0:11:13when she would come to our house for drinks after a carol service,

0:11:13 > 0:11:17which caused great sort of consternation for my mother!

0:11:17 > 0:11:22But, yeah, so you saw her in a slightly different,

0:11:22 > 0:11:25more personal environment.

0:11:25 > 0:11:27So, on Songs of Praise,

0:11:27 > 0:11:30what do you think the Queen would like to hear you sing today?

0:11:30 > 0:11:34Well, I know she's a big fan of Rodgers and Hammerstein

0:11:34 > 0:11:37and so I thought it might be appropriate to do something

0:11:37 > 0:11:40from their great hit Carousel

0:11:40 > 0:11:43and the very famous anthem You'll Never Walk Alone,

0:11:43 > 0:11:45particularly because, I think,

0:11:45 > 0:11:51the themes of the song are...faith,

0:11:51 > 0:11:52a strong sense of faith

0:11:52 > 0:11:56and a sense of determination and perseverance.

0:12:03 > 0:12:11# When you walk through a storm

0:12:11 > 0:12:17# Hold your head up high

0:12:17 > 0:12:26# And don't be afraid of the dark

0:12:27 > 0:12:33# At the end of the storm

0:12:33 > 0:12:39# Is a golden sky

0:12:39 > 0:12:44# And the sweet silver song

0:12:44 > 0:12:50# Of a lark

0:12:51 > 0:12:57# Walk on through the wind

0:12:57 > 0:13:01# Walk on through the rain

0:13:01 > 0:13:11# Though your dreams be tossed and blown

0:13:12 > 0:13:17# Walk on, walk on

0:13:17 > 0:13:22# With hope in your heart

0:13:22 > 0:13:32# And you'll never walk alone

0:13:32 > 0:13:45# You'll never walk alone

0:14:03 > 0:14:08# Walk on, walk on

0:14:08 > 0:14:13# With hope in your heart

0:14:13 > 0:14:21# And you'll never walk alone

0:14:22 > 0:14:39# You'll never walk alone. #

0:14:46 > 0:14:48BRASS BAND PLAYS

0:14:48 > 0:14:50With St George's Day on Saturday,

0:14:50 > 0:14:54Richard Taylor is in Windsor on the trail of England's patron saint.

0:14:56 > 0:14:59On St George's Day, the flag of England's patron saint

0:14:59 > 0:15:02flies above churches up and down the country.

0:15:02 > 0:15:05We've all heard of George and the dragon,

0:15:05 > 0:15:10but did you know that George actually comes from the Middle East,

0:15:10 > 0:15:12or that he is also patron saint

0:15:12 > 0:15:15of Portugal, of Romania and of Russia?

0:15:18 > 0:15:22George has also been named protector of our royal family,

0:15:22 > 0:15:25so what better place to find out more about him

0:15:25 > 0:15:28than St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle?

0:15:28 > 0:15:33So, why did George come to be England's patron saint?

0:15:33 > 0:15:37Well, when England went to war, and it went to war a lot,

0:15:37 > 0:15:40its armies wanted the protection

0:15:40 > 0:15:43and to shout the name of someone really fierce.

0:15:43 > 0:15:47And who could be fiercer than a dragon slayer?

0:15:51 > 0:15:54This book is The Golden Legend. Written in the 13th century,

0:15:54 > 0:15:57it's a collection of lives of the saints

0:15:57 > 0:16:00and with its wild tales of their amazing adventures,

0:16:00 > 0:16:04it was a medieval bestseller and it's in The Golden Legend

0:16:04 > 0:16:09that we hear the most famous story about St George.

0:16:09 > 0:16:14"A town called Silene in Libya found that a terrifying dragon

0:16:14 > 0:16:17"had made its nest in a nearby lake.

0:16:17 > 0:16:21"To appease the monster, every day the townsfolk fed it sheep,

0:16:21 > 0:16:25"or, when sheep ran short, people.

0:16:25 > 0:16:28"They drew lots to decide who would be fed to the dragon

0:16:28 > 0:16:31"and one day the lot fell to the king's daughter.

0:16:31 > 0:16:34"The princess was led to the lake to be eaten

0:16:34 > 0:16:38"whereupon a Christian called George rode by.

0:16:38 > 0:16:40"When the dragon appeared,

0:16:40 > 0:16:44"George pinned it to the ground with his spear, then took a belt,

0:16:44 > 0:16:48"put it around the dragon's neck and led it into the town

0:16:48 > 0:16:53"like a tame puppy, where the townsfolk cried, 'Alas!' "

0:16:53 > 0:16:55I'll bet they did!

0:16:57 > 0:17:00Of course, the story is a fairy tale,

0:17:00 > 0:17:03but it didn't come out of nowhere.

0:17:03 > 0:17:06To find out more, I'm popping just down the road from Windsor

0:17:06 > 0:17:09to Royal Holloway, University of London,

0:17:09 > 0:17:11to meet historian Claire Kennan.

0:17:11 > 0:17:14Why was St George so popular?

0:17:14 > 0:17:18I think because he was seen very much as England's special protector.

0:17:18 > 0:17:21But interestingly, this doesn't happen

0:17:21 > 0:17:23until the late 14th, early 15th century. Up until then,

0:17:23 > 0:17:26he's very much associated with the military orders,

0:17:26 > 0:17:28but in the later Middle Ages,

0:17:28 > 0:17:30we see this transition across into popular culture.

0:17:30 > 0:17:33He is given royal approval by Edward III

0:17:33 > 0:17:36and he is declared, at that point, to be England's patron saint,

0:17:36 > 0:17:39which, of course, catapults him into the public eye.

0:17:39 > 0:17:41What about the dragon?

0:17:41 > 0:17:43The dragon is very much representative,

0:17:43 > 0:17:45in the medieval mind, as all evil,

0:17:45 > 0:17:49so essentially, when St George defeats this dragon,

0:17:49 > 0:17:51he is defeating all the known evil in the world.

0:17:51 > 0:17:54In defending his Christian faith, he was seen as overcoming

0:17:54 > 0:17:56the dangers of being a Christian in that time,

0:17:56 > 0:18:00so I do think that's kind of where the legend could be truthful

0:18:00 > 0:18:02and we could get some glimpses

0:18:02 > 0:18:04of their being a real man who was St George.

0:18:06 > 0:18:08The story of St George and his dragon

0:18:08 > 0:18:12has thrilled and inspired people for centuries

0:18:12 > 0:18:14and it's extraordinary to think

0:18:14 > 0:18:17that there may actually be a man behind the myth,

0:18:17 > 0:18:20someone, perhaps, whose fight with wrongdoing

0:18:20 > 0:18:24was retold as a battle with a dragon.

0:18:24 > 0:18:28Maybe we all have it in us to be dragon slayers.

0:18:31 > 0:18:33And to mark St George's Day,

0:18:33 > 0:18:37what could be more fitting than that most English of hymns, Jerusalem,

0:18:37 > 0:18:39from St George's Chapel?

0:20:56 > 0:21:00The Queen was at St George's Chapel on Maundy Thursday

0:21:00 > 0:21:05to distribute the special coins in the ancient Royal Maundy ceremony.

0:21:05 > 0:21:08In this significant year, 90 men and 90 women

0:21:08 > 0:21:12were chosen in recognition of their Christian service.

0:21:12 > 0:21:17So I've come to Sunderland to meet one of those specially chosen,

0:21:17 > 0:21:20a man who has contributed his musical talents

0:21:20 > 0:21:21to the church for so long

0:21:21 > 0:21:24that when he began, Winston Churchill was Prime Minister

0:21:24 > 0:21:27and soap rationing had just been introduced.

0:21:29 > 0:21:34Ken Jolly has been the organist at St Gabriel's Church for 50 years.

0:21:36 > 0:21:39Ken, how did you first hear about this nomination?

0:21:39 > 0:21:42Well, I got a letter from Buckingham Palace

0:21:42 > 0:21:44and I've been a bit of a lad

0:21:44 > 0:21:47who played jokes on people over the years

0:21:47 > 0:21:49and I thought somebody was playing a joke on me!

0:21:49 > 0:21:54I went with my granddaughter and I was in the chapel

0:21:54 > 0:21:56and I've been in the chapel two or three times

0:21:56 > 0:22:00and, really, it looked absolutely splendid

0:22:00 > 0:22:03and there was organ music beforehand,

0:22:03 > 0:22:06some of which I'd played at various times.

0:22:06 > 0:22:09So, what did you think of the organist?

0:22:09 > 0:22:12Very, very good. Very, very good.

0:22:12 > 0:22:16It was just something that I will never ever forget

0:22:16 > 0:22:18for the rest of my days.

0:22:20 > 0:22:22WHISPERS: You do look smart!

0:22:22 > 0:22:24'As a surprise, we've arranged for Ken

0:22:24 > 0:22:28'to watch the moment he received his Maundy money from the Queen,

0:22:28 > 0:22:32'but word has got out and over 100 family and friends

0:22:32 > 0:22:36'have gathered to celebrate and thank him for his years of service.'

0:22:37 > 0:22:42During the war, I once played eight weddings on a Saturday.

0:22:42 > 0:22:46I benefited with eight guineas that particular day,

0:22:46 > 0:22:48which was a canny bit of money!

0:22:48 > 0:22:51But you've also played for some very moving services,

0:22:51 > 0:22:54including those of your own family?

0:22:54 > 0:22:57Yes, I have. My wife was in the choir

0:22:57 > 0:23:02and they sang the hymn How Great Thou Art

0:23:02 > 0:23:07and she said to me, "Ken, mind, I want that hymn for my funeral

0:23:07 > 0:23:10"and you've got to play it."

0:23:10 > 0:23:15So, when she died, I went up out of the stalls

0:23:15 > 0:23:19and played How Great Thou Art for my wife,

0:23:19 > 0:23:23and I also played What A Wonderful World.

0:23:24 > 0:23:28He's just absolutely amazing, he makes that sing,

0:23:28 > 0:23:30he makes the organ sing.

0:23:30 > 0:23:34He has been a servant of the Lord and Christ in his organ playing

0:23:34 > 0:23:36and in his contribution towards the church,

0:23:36 > 0:23:37there's no doubt about it.

0:23:37 > 0:23:41And he's just so sensitive to the congregation when he's playing

0:23:41 > 0:23:44and he always catches the atmosphere of the service.

0:23:44 > 0:23:47Well, he dedicates so much to this church.

0:23:47 > 0:23:50You know, he's been here 50 years as the organist.

0:23:50 > 0:23:53He takes part in all the weddings, all the funerals.

0:23:53 > 0:23:55He is just fantastic, I love him to pieces!

0:23:55 > 0:23:59You are still playing for services here every Sunday.

0:23:59 > 0:24:01Why do you keep doing it?

0:24:01 > 0:24:04Well, I enjoy it, I do enjoy playing the organ

0:24:04 > 0:24:07and I've been lucky with my hands.

0:24:07 > 0:24:09I have no arthritis,

0:24:09 > 0:24:14so I have got the great Lord to thank for not having arthritis.

0:24:14 > 0:24:19And what is more, I've had a wonderful life.

0:24:19 > 0:24:20No plans to retire, then?

0:24:20 > 0:24:22- Not yet.- Good.

0:24:22 > 0:24:23Amen!

0:24:23 > 0:24:25THEY LAUGH

0:26:04 > 0:26:06Did you know that the Queen

0:26:06 > 0:26:09writes almost 1,000 Christmas cards every year?

0:26:09 > 0:26:12Oh, I know, far too early to be mentioning Christmas,

0:26:12 > 0:26:14but there is a good reason for it.

0:26:14 > 0:26:19And that reason brings us to the Victoria and Albert Museum

0:26:19 > 0:26:22to see their collection of historic Christmas cards.

0:26:25 > 0:26:26And this is where you come in,

0:26:26 > 0:26:29especially if you like arts and crafts

0:26:29 > 0:26:32because, in partnership with BBC Children In Need,

0:26:32 > 0:26:35we are launching our very own competition

0:26:35 > 0:26:37to design a Christmas card.

0:26:37 > 0:26:39And this is the place to get inspiration,

0:26:39 > 0:26:42from some of the V&A's oldest cards.

0:26:42 > 0:26:44So, what have we here?

0:26:44 > 0:26:47So, this is the first-ever commercial Christmas card,

0:26:47 > 0:26:51developed by Sir Henry Cole, who ran out of time

0:26:51 > 0:26:53sending his Christmas letters.

0:26:53 > 0:26:55Oh, a familiar theme, that is!

0:26:55 > 0:26:57So he commissioned his friend,

0:26:57 > 0:26:59the artist Sir John Horsley,

0:26:59 > 0:27:03to design a card for him in 1843.

0:27:03 > 0:27:06I can't see any sign of baby Jesus there.

0:27:06 > 0:27:08Well, actually, you're absolutely right.

0:27:08 > 0:27:10It is all about the family at Christmas time,

0:27:10 > 0:27:14but there's also the charitable giving on either side.

0:27:14 > 0:27:16So, how did the other more traditional themes

0:27:16 > 0:27:19that we're used to seeing of Christmas develop?

0:27:19 > 0:27:22So, actually, the Victorians really, really liked animals.

0:27:22 > 0:27:25Occasionally you see a Christ figure,

0:27:25 > 0:27:29but mainly it was farm animals, especially pigs.

0:27:30 > 0:27:33For our competition, we are looking for all kinds of

0:27:33 > 0:27:37two-dimensional drawings, illustrations and paintings,

0:27:37 > 0:27:40traditional or modern, religious or simply festive,

0:27:40 > 0:27:44and from all ages, as long as they sum up the spirit of Christmas.

0:27:45 > 0:27:47Well, over to you.

0:27:47 > 0:27:50Can you get creative with your pencils and paints?

0:27:50 > 0:27:52You'll be able to find out all the information you need

0:27:52 > 0:27:55and full terms and conditions on our website.

0:28:04 > 0:28:06There will be ten winning designs

0:28:06 > 0:28:09sold in packs in shops from September,

0:28:09 > 0:28:11proceeds going to Children In Need,

0:28:11 > 0:28:13so good luck and we look forward to seeing

0:28:13 > 0:28:15your Christmassy works of art,

0:28:15 > 0:28:18but before we get too excited about Christmas,

0:28:18 > 0:28:19here is a special performance

0:28:19 > 0:28:23from someone who has sung for the Queen many times.

0:28:27 > 0:28:33# I vow to thee my country

0:28:33 > 0:28:37# All earthly things above

0:28:37 > 0:28:43# Entire and whole and perfect

0:28:43 > 0:28:48# The service of my love

0:28:48 > 0:28:53# The love that asks no question

0:28:53 > 0:28:58# The love that stands the test

0:28:58 > 0:29:03# That lays upon the altar

0:29:03 > 0:29:09# The dearest and the best

0:29:09 > 0:29:14# The love that never falters

0:29:14 > 0:29:19# The love that pays the price

0:29:19 > 0:29:25# The love that makes undaunted

0:29:25 > 0:29:30# The final sacrifice

0:29:33 > 0:29:37# And there's another country

0:29:37 > 0:29:42# I've heard of long ago

0:29:42 > 0:29:48# Most dear to them that love her

0:29:48 > 0:29:53# Most great to them that know

0:29:53 > 0:29:58# We may not count her armies

0:29:58 > 0:30:03# We may not see her king

0:30:03 > 0:30:08# Her fortress is a faithful heart

0:30:08 > 0:30:13# Her pride is suffering

0:30:13 > 0:30:19# And soul by soul and silently

0:30:19 > 0:30:24# Her shining bounds increase

0:30:24 > 0:30:29# And her waves are waves of gentleness

0:30:29 > 0:30:40# And all her paths are peace

0:30:42 > 0:30:45# And all her paths

0:30:45 > 0:30:54# Are peace. #

0:31:01 > 0:31:03Well, it's great to see Katherine in action there

0:31:03 > 0:31:06and, in fact, she'll be back with us in our programme next week

0:31:06 > 0:31:08as one of the judges in the grand final

0:31:08 > 0:31:11of the school choirs competition, so don't miss that.

0:31:11 > 0:31:14But, for today, we've come to our final hymn

0:31:14 > 0:31:15and the chance for me to say,

0:31:15 > 0:31:17on behalf of all of us on Songs of Praise,

0:31:17 > 0:31:20that we wish Your Majesty a very happy birthday.
