0:00:02 > 0:00:04The sun's out one minute...
0:00:04 > 0:00:07And clouds and rain the next.
0:00:07 > 0:00:11The roads are busy, and when you get to where you're going, it's packed.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13It must be the Great British Summer.
0:00:15 > 0:00:19Enjoy your holiday! I could get into this stuff, it's great!
0:00:19 > 0:00:20It's brilliant, isn't it?
0:00:20 > 0:00:23It goes to prove there is nothing we Brits do better than
0:00:23 > 0:00:26enjoying our summer holidays, rain or shine.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29You're absolutely right, and that's why today on Songs Of Praise,
0:00:29 > 0:00:32we're celebrating the Great British Summertime.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34Anyway, there's still work to do, so Spencer,
0:00:34 > 0:00:37if you don't mind, just take some cases over there, that'd be great.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39- Thank you, my man. - Thank you, my man.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42You've got work to do as well. There's some more there for you.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44Come on, chop, chop! Yes, hurry up. Do some work.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47- Bossy!- I heard that!
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Today, as part of our summer specials,
0:00:49 > 0:00:52we find out how a summer's day inspired the nation's
0:00:52 > 0:00:56favourite hymn, see some rarely seen archive from one of the UK's
0:00:56 > 0:00:57first holiday camps...
0:00:57 > 0:01:00And for the first time, we meet the Corrs, a Christian family,
0:01:00 > 0:01:03as they take on challenges to test their faith.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14With yesterday being the longest day,
0:01:14 > 0:01:16we really are in the thick of the summer months,
0:01:16 > 0:01:19and for many of us, our thoughts excitedly jump ahead to
0:01:19 > 0:01:23packing our suitcases and heading off on our summer holidays.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26Holiday actually means "holy day",
0:01:26 > 0:01:29so it seems absolutely appropriate that we reflect on its true
0:01:29 > 0:01:33meaning today with our very first hymn, Summer Suns Are Glowing.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Well, sadly, British holidays don't always have the summer sun
0:03:50 > 0:03:53glowing on them, as we Brits know all too well.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57But come rain or shine, we know how to enjoy our precious time
0:03:57 > 0:04:00away from the humdrum of daily life.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Resorts like this one are a familiar feature
0:04:03 > 0:04:05on the British holiday landscape.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09Back in the 1930s, the idea of a self-contained holiday camp where
0:04:09 > 0:04:13people could have fun regardless of the weather was revolutionary,
0:04:13 > 0:04:16and it was all down to one man, Sir Billy Butlin.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20Having spent much of his youth travelling the world, Billy
0:04:20 > 0:04:23came to the UK with a desire to be a showman.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27First building a hoopla stall, he moved on to buying the rights to
0:04:27 > 0:04:30dodgem cars, and the rest, as they say, is history.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Welcome to Butlins, Bognor Regis.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35To find out more,
0:04:35 > 0:04:38I've come to meet the resort's archivist Roger Billington.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41How did the holiday camp start, and where did he get the idea?
0:04:41 > 0:04:44He got the idea when he was visiting one of his amusement parks
0:04:44 > 0:04:48at Barry Island in South Wales. He stayed in a B&B.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51He realised that they didn't give you a key to the door,
0:04:51 > 0:04:54so when you'd had your breakfast, you were chucked out.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56He thought, "Wait a minute, these poor people,
0:04:56 > 0:04:58"it's throwing it down with rain,
0:04:58 > 0:05:01"and they couldn't get back in until evening meal."
0:05:01 > 0:05:05He thought, "What if I built a holiday camp
0:05:05 > 0:05:10"and give everybody a key, so they can come and go as they please?"
0:05:10 > 0:05:12It was the first package holiday, really.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15It soon became a success, but what many people didn't
0:05:15 > 0:05:19know was the role the church played in Billy's life.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22When he opened Skeggy, he hadn't twigged about the church.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26He thought of everything, the amusement parks, the chalets,
0:05:26 > 0:05:29- the funfairs, everything. - But the church.- But the church.
0:05:29 > 0:05:35He was approached by his customers who said, "Do you run a chapel?"
0:05:35 > 0:05:39And he hadn't, so he got a guy in.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42- MALE VOICEOVER:- Did you know that there's a resident Padre at
0:05:42 > 0:05:45every camp, and a special church set aside for the use of campers?
0:05:45 > 0:05:47The gentleman's name was Canon Pugh,
0:05:47 > 0:05:50that's the senior chaplain for Butlins, and he was also
0:05:50 > 0:05:55the Queen's chaplain as well, so he picked very wisely there.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58- MALE VOICEOVER:- The Padre is a friend of every camper, and is ready at all
0:05:58 > 0:06:01times to give advice and comfort wherever it may be needed.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05And from there, Billy built chapels on all his camps,
0:06:05 > 0:06:07and the camp chaplain, as they were known then,
0:06:07 > 0:06:10became an integral part of the resort's life.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13We used to introduce them on a Saturday night,
0:06:13 > 0:06:16so we had the gated theatre on a Saturday night,
0:06:16 > 0:06:19where we'd put the show on, and we used to do this who's who,
0:06:19 > 0:06:22and it was, "Here we have the general manager,
0:06:22 > 0:06:25"here we have the entertainments manager,
0:06:25 > 0:06:27"and if you want to know about what the weather's going to be
0:06:27 > 0:06:31"this week, we have the Padre, Padre Whatever",
0:06:31 > 0:06:34and they used to play He's Got The Whole World In His Hands,
0:06:34 > 0:06:38- and they were getting really into the swing of it.- Wow!
0:06:38 > 0:06:41So, by the sound of it, the chaplains, they were
0:06:41 > 0:06:46an integral part of the life, they weren't just there for Sundays.
0:06:46 > 0:06:47Oh, no, no.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50I mean, they used to get involved with judging competitions,
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Holiday Princess, Glamorous Grandmothers, Knobbly Knees,
0:06:53 > 0:06:57you name it, and they entered into the spirit of it.
0:06:57 > 0:07:02Lovely people, and they would've made good Redcoats.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11You might think we're in the Mediterranean, but this is
0:09:11 > 0:09:16Minehead, and the resort here is home to the only remaining chapel.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20I think what you have to imagine, it's Sunday morning,
0:09:20 > 0:09:25it's perhaps Easter morning, it's perhaps 8:00, and the centre
0:09:25 > 0:09:28is waking up, and then people are coming in,
0:09:28 > 0:09:31so many indeed that they can't get in,
0:09:31 > 0:09:35and these chairs have to be taken out so that everybody is standing.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37For 22 years,
0:09:37 > 0:09:41Tony was part of the chaplaincy team across the famous holiday resorts.
0:09:41 > 0:09:46He was responsible for the pastoral and faith needs of guests and staff.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49I was a priest who, when I was ordained,
0:09:49 > 0:09:54elected not to be a parish priest, to be a worker priest.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58I've always been interested in opportunities where people
0:09:58 > 0:10:01can express their faith or can work out their faith or
0:10:01 > 0:10:04talk about their faith in the real world.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06I need perhaps to tell you a little story.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09I was in the bar at Butlins one day,
0:10:09 > 0:10:10and a man came and sat next to me.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13He looked at me, I got my collar on, and he said,
0:10:13 > 0:10:14"What are you doing here?"
0:10:14 > 0:10:16I said, "I work here, I'm the chaplain."
0:10:16 > 0:10:19He said, "I come on holiday to get away from people like you",
0:10:19 > 0:10:21and I said, "Oh!",
0:10:21 > 0:10:24and he didn't stop talking for three quarters of an hour,
0:10:24 > 0:10:28and he said, "I've never spoken to a vicar before." I said, "Well,
0:10:28 > 0:10:31"you've got one in your own town." "I wouldn't do that", he said.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34And I think the great thing about being a chaplain like this, you have
0:10:34 > 0:10:36this opportunity where people are away from home,
0:10:36 > 0:10:38they're not going to see you again,
0:10:38 > 0:10:42so they don't have to commit to the church, but they can talk about
0:10:42 > 0:10:45their faith and they can talk about what's important in their lives,
0:10:45 > 0:10:50and for me, the greatest moment on a Saturday morning,
0:10:50 > 0:10:53the people would get out of their cars and you'd see the children
0:10:53 > 0:10:56skipping across the grass and there on the paths to the
0:10:56 > 0:11:00registration, in their excitement to start the week as they looked
0:11:00 > 0:11:04round and saw all that was going on, and that's what I like about it,
0:11:04 > 0:11:06and that's what really attracted me to it.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13# All things bright and beautiful
0:11:13 > 0:11:16# All creatures great and small
0:11:17 > 0:11:21# All things wise and wonderful
0:11:21 > 0:11:25# The Lord God made them all
0:11:25 > 0:11:29# Each little flower that opens
0:11:29 > 0:11:33# Each little bird that sings
0:11:33 > 0:11:37# He made their glowing colours
0:11:37 > 0:11:41# He made their tiny wings
0:11:41 > 0:11:45# All things bright and beautiful
0:11:45 > 0:11:49# All creatures great and small
0:11:49 > 0:11:53# All things wise and wonderful
0:11:53 > 0:11:58# The Lord God made them all
0:12:01 > 0:12:05# The purple-headed mountain
0:12:05 > 0:12:09# The river running by
0:12:09 > 0:12:13# The sunset and the morning
0:12:13 > 0:12:17# That brightens up the sky
0:12:17 > 0:12:21# The cold wind in the winter
0:12:21 > 0:12:25# The pleasant summer sun
0:12:25 > 0:12:29# The ripe fruits in the garden
0:12:29 > 0:12:33# He made them every one
0:12:35 > 0:12:38# All things bright and beautiful
0:12:38 > 0:12:41# All creatures great and small
0:12:43 > 0:12:46# All things wise and wonderful
0:12:46 > 0:12:49# The Lord God made them all
0:12:50 > 0:12:54# He gave us eyes to see them
0:12:54 > 0:12:58# And lips that we might tell
0:12:58 > 0:13:02# How great is God Almighty
0:13:02 > 0:13:05# Who has made all things well
0:13:06 > 0:13:10# All things bright and beautiful
0:13:10 > 0:13:14# All creatures great and small
0:13:14 > 0:13:19# All things wise and wonderful
0:13:22 > 0:13:28# The Lord God made them all. #
0:13:41 > 0:13:45Although holidays may be incredibly relaxing for the thousands
0:13:45 > 0:13:48of people who come to resorts every year, for those who work here,
0:13:48 > 0:13:52it's hard work keeping the fun going. Don't you agree, Diane?
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Well, I'm thinking it's hard work just getting an ice cream cone!
0:13:55 > 0:13:57- Chris, have I done that? - Yep, you have.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59You're going to dig, not scoop.
0:13:59 > 0:14:00How are you doing with your perfect scoop?
0:14:00 > 0:14:05- I'm perfectly landing it in the cone! How does that look?- It's OK.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08- It's OK, that's encouraging words. You can eat that.- Thank you.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10So, obviously, the staff know what they're doing here.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14We've got 1,200 staff like Chris making sure that everybody
0:14:14 > 0:14:17here has the most perfect holiday, and also,
0:14:17 > 0:14:21- how many eggs do you like for your breakfast?- One or two.- One or two.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24I certainly like two. But here, they cook...
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Tell me if I'm right, Chris...
0:14:26 > 0:14:31- 3,500 eggs are cooked every day just for breakfast. Correct?- Correct.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34- Wow.- Correct.- Wow! That's incredible!
0:14:34 > 0:14:36...for the Redcoats...
0:14:36 > 0:14:39But it's not the amount of eggs cooked each day that the resort
0:14:39 > 0:14:42is best known for, it's the iconic Redcoats,
0:14:42 > 0:14:46and I'm lucky enough to get my hands on some precious examples.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49- We're looking at the first one there.- So this is from 1936?
0:14:49 > 0:14:52This is '36, the original blazer.
0:14:52 > 0:14:57There's only six of these survived, the first six Redcoats,
0:14:57 > 0:15:00and the uniform, for me, is wonderful.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02You have to be quite outgoing and
0:15:02 > 0:15:05- a people person to wear one of these, don't you?- Yeah, yeah.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07You associate that with Redcoats.
0:15:07 > 0:15:08Do you think I would have made a good Redcoat?
0:15:08 > 0:15:11Yes, yes, I was hoping you were going to put one on, actually.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13THEY LAUGH
0:15:13 > 0:15:18Whilst this famous resort is known for its Redcoats,
0:15:18 > 0:15:22we here on Songs of Praise are known for our beautiful and iconic music.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27But there is one hymn, "How Great Thou Art",
0:15:27 > 0:15:30that stands out as being a bit of a favourite.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37I'm meeting up with Songs of Praise conductor Simon Lole
0:15:37 > 0:15:39to find out why.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53I felt the hymn was calling me!
0:15:53 > 0:15:54I was waiting for you to sing.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56SHE LAUGHS
0:15:56 > 0:15:58I don't think I could ever do that in public.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01- What a magnificent...that's my favourite hymn!- Is it really?
0:16:01 > 0:16:03- Yeah! To me, that's the perfect hymn.- Not just you I think.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06I think it's Songs of Praise's favourite hymn, isn't it?
0:16:06 > 0:16:09Over the last 20 years or something like that.
0:16:09 > 0:16:10- Exactly.- But it's a very special hymn.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12I mean, do you know the history of it?
0:16:12 > 0:16:14Go on, tell me, I don't know if I do.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16I think it's very fascinating
0:16:16 > 0:16:18and I think that's what makes it really special.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20There was this chap called Stuart Hine
0:16:20 > 0:16:22and he was a very Christian man and he became a missionary
0:16:22 > 0:16:26and about 1930, 1934 I think, in fact,
0:16:26 > 0:16:30he decides to go on a bicycle ride up the mountains in Eastern Europe.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33When he was there, it was the most beautiful summer's day
0:16:33 > 0:16:35and he had a lovely time.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38But on his first night, I believe, the storm clouds came over
0:16:38 > 0:16:41and suddenly it was raining and everything and it made him
0:16:41 > 0:16:43feel at home, just like he was back in England.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46From that experience he wrote the first verse.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49"I see the stars, I hear the mighty thunder."
0:16:49 > 0:16:52So, very personal testament in this first verse
0:16:52 > 0:16:56and there's a wonderful marriage between music and words in this.
0:16:56 > 0:17:02For example, the narrative at the beginning in the verse, erm...
0:17:02 > 0:17:06is very simple, very straightforward and then it repeats itself,
0:17:06 > 0:17:08so if you don't know the hymn, you soon pick it up.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Then, of course, this great shout of praise.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15# Then sing my soul, da-dum-dum-dum. #
0:17:15 > 0:17:19- Yes, it stirs you up.- It just reflects itself so magically.
0:17:19 > 0:17:20Absolutely!
0:17:20 > 0:17:23So, I can understand how people really get impassioned
0:17:23 > 0:17:25and empowered by this lovely hymn.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28I did a little experiment, actually, cos I was thinking, you know,
0:17:28 > 0:17:30the words and the music are so synonymous.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33Sometimes we get hymns where you can get different tunes
0:17:33 > 0:17:34and it still works.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37Something like "All Things Bright and Beautiful",
0:17:37 > 0:17:39there's two tunes there and they both work very nicely
0:17:39 > 0:17:41and I thought if I could find another hymn which fitted
0:17:41 > 0:17:44these words, just to try an experiment and see.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46So, I don't know what you think here, so I think most people
0:17:46 > 0:17:50- will know the hymn "Great is They Faithfulness".- Another good hymn.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52Well, a great hymn, yeah.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55But it's exactly the same meter but if I sing it, and forgive my voice,
0:17:55 > 0:17:59but I'll give you an idea and just see what you think here.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02# Oh, Lord, my God,
0:18:02 > 0:18:06# When I in awesome wonder
0:18:06 > 0:18:09# Consider all the works
0:18:09 > 0:18:12# Thy hand hath made. #
0:18:12 > 0:18:16- It just loses the power.- It does, doesn't it? It hasn't got that...
0:18:16 > 0:18:18# Oh, Lord, my God. #
0:18:18 > 0:18:22No...when you hear it to the tune we all know it, straightaway it just
0:18:22 > 0:18:26uplifts you, you just feel like all I want to do is just worship God.
0:18:26 > 0:18:32It sort of encapsulates in very few words some very powerful messages.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34You know, "The greatness of God's creation,
0:18:34 > 0:18:36"The greatness of Christ's redemption,
0:18:36 > 0:18:38"The greatness of his promise".
0:18:38 > 0:18:40You know, it's really magical!
0:22:36 > 0:22:38As you can see from all the people around us,
0:22:38 > 0:22:40spending time together is an important
0:22:40 > 0:22:42part of the Great British holiday
0:22:42 > 0:22:46and family is also an integral element of the Christian faith.
0:22:46 > 0:22:50So, we thought we'd see what life was like for an ordinary Christian
0:22:50 > 0:22:53family in 21st century Britain.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58The Corrs, a Catholic family from Essex.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Earlier this year, they responded to our appeal for a family to
0:23:01 > 0:23:04take part in some of our programmes over the summer.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08The idea is that we set them some challenges, so that you can
0:23:08 > 0:23:11find out how their Christian faith is woven into their lives.
0:23:14 > 0:23:18It's a sunny Saturday morning and our family are curious to know
0:23:18 > 0:23:21why they've been asked to turn up at the local campsite.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26Right, now, I hope you're up for a challenge.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Mum and Dad versus you girls.
0:23:28 > 0:23:29Oooh!
0:23:29 > 0:23:33We're going to give you a tent each and the first group with your
0:23:33 > 0:23:38tent up will be a chocolate biscuit with the stove-made tea.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Oh, the challenge is on!
0:23:41 > 0:23:42And off they go.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44I wanted that one!
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Right, I've got this one.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48What better way to test their faith than putting up
0:23:48 > 0:23:50a tent on a windy summer's day?
0:23:50 > 0:23:52We've got instructions with ours.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55Don't worry about them, I'm a man, we don't need instructions.
0:23:55 > 0:24:00This is not the first time dad Martin has been on Songs of Praise.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04I was last on Songs of Praise when I was about 11.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07I remember it being a very hot summer and I remember there
0:24:07 > 0:24:11being lots of rehearsals before the final recording.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15Erm, I just loved being part of the experience,
0:24:15 > 0:24:19it was truly moving and something I will never forget!
0:24:23 > 0:24:27Fast forward 31 years and Martin with his wife, Sam,
0:24:27 > 0:24:29twin daughters, Charlotte and Sophie
0:24:29 > 0:24:34and younger sister Aimee are...erm, enjoying the task we've set them.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37That looks like it could be the porch.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43I really liked working together,
0:24:43 > 0:24:48cos it really showed that our sisters are very close, aren't we?
0:24:48 > 0:24:51Family's at the heart of Christian life, really.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54Because I think it's what life is all about,
0:24:54 > 0:24:56it's about showing love to each other
0:24:56 > 0:24:59and enjoying each other's companies and being there for each other
0:24:59 > 0:25:02during the bad times and the good times.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06Oh, no, they're winning already!
0:25:06 > 0:25:11I think it just shows a little of our competitiveness as a family.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14Whilst Mum and Dad have found the instructions and are methodically
0:25:14 > 0:25:18getting on with it, the girls still can't get to grips with the tent.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20You've got a parachute there.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30Over an hour has passed and the girls' tent is still on the floor.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34Maybe this was a tougher challenge than they first thought.
0:25:34 > 0:25:38There was a few arguments because we were all getting very stressed.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41Sophie, let go!
0:25:41 > 0:25:44What really matters is we actually get it up like they have.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48- It's meant to go like that. - Ours is inside-out.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50- What is, your tent?- Yes.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52LAUGHTER
0:25:56 > 0:25:59I'm looking forward to taste those chocolate biscuits!
0:26:01 > 0:26:02Oh, lovely cup of tea.
0:26:02 > 0:26:06Whilst I did kind of enjoy giving the girls a bit of a thrashing
0:26:06 > 0:26:08in getting the tent up before them,
0:26:08 > 0:26:10I did really feel sorry for them.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12I looked across and we'd got our tent up and I looked at them
0:26:12 > 0:26:16and they were really struggling, and I think that's when the
0:26:16 > 0:26:19instinct as a parent kicks in and you think we can't just leave
0:26:19 > 0:26:22them high and dry, we've got to get involved, we've got to help them.
0:26:22 > 0:26:26So, two hours in and it's Mum and Dad who've triumphed,
0:26:26 > 0:26:29but for the girls, frustration has set in
0:26:29 > 0:26:32and they look to their parents to help them finish the challenge.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35You're nearly there, though, you've done the hard bit.
0:26:35 > 0:26:36All you've got to do is get it up.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39The five of us are very close, and we all help each other when
0:26:39 > 0:26:42we're sort of struggling and I know that
0:26:42 > 0:26:45Mum was trying to hold back from trying to help us
0:26:45 > 0:26:47when she was doing her tent.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50So, you all need to work together.
0:26:50 > 0:26:51As a family, I would say,
0:26:51 > 0:26:56the one thing that we've taken away from this challenge is how much
0:26:56 > 0:27:00we enjoy working together and how out of our comfort zone we are
0:27:00 > 0:27:01when we don't work together.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03That's it, I think we're done.
0:27:03 > 0:27:07For us, our faith is rooted in everything we do as a family.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10- Definitely.- And family life is very important to us.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12- Who would like that biscuit? - You have it, go on.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15We'll be seeing more of the Corr family on Songs of Praise
0:27:15 > 0:27:17throughout the summer months.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23# Shall I compare thee
0:27:23 > 0:27:26# Oooh-oooh-oooh
0:27:26 > 0:27:30# To a summer's day
0:27:30 > 0:27:32# Thou art more lovely
0:27:32 > 0:27:34# Oooh-oooh-oooh
0:27:34 > 0:27:38# And more temperate
0:27:38 > 0:27:39# Aaaah
0:27:39 > 0:27:40# Rough winds do shake
0:27:40 > 0:27:44# The darling buds of May
0:27:46 > 0:27:47# Aaaah
0:27:47 > 0:27:54# And summer's lease hath all too short a date
0:27:54 > 0:27:58# So long as men can
0:27:58 > 0:28:02# Breathe or eyes can see
0:28:03 > 0:28:08# So long lives this and this
0:28:08 > 0:28:11# This gives life to thee
0:28:14 > 0:28:17# Sometime too hot
0:28:17 > 0:28:19# Oooh-oooh-oooh
0:28:19 > 0:28:21# The eye of heaven shines
0:28:23 > 0:28:25# And often is his gold
0:28:25 > 0:28:27# Oooh-oooh-oooh
0:28:27 > 0:28:30# Complexion dimmed
0:28:31 > 0:28:32# Aaah
0:28:32 > 0:28:34# And every fair from fair
0:28:34 > 0:28:38# Sometime declines
0:28:40 > 0:28:41# Aaah
0:28:41 > 0:28:43# By chance, or nature's
0:28:43 > 0:28:48# Changing course, untrimmed
0:28:48 > 0:28:51# So long as men can
0:28:51 > 0:28:56# Breathe or eyes can see
0:28:56 > 0:29:00# So long lives this and this
0:29:00 > 0:29:05# This gives life to thee
0:29:07 > 0:29:12# But thy eternal summer shall not fade
0:29:14 > 0:29:17# Nor lose possession
0:29:17 > 0:29:22# Of that fair thou owest
0:29:25 > 0:29:29# So long as men can
0:29:29 > 0:29:34# Breathe or eyes can see
0:29:34 > 0:29:39# So long lives this and this
0:29:39 > 0:29:43# This gives life to thee
0:29:43 > 0:29:46# So long as men can
0:29:46 > 0:29:51# Breathe or eyes can see
0:29:52 > 0:29:56# So long lives this and this
0:29:56 > 0:30:00# This gives life to thee
0:30:03 > 0:30:07# Oooh-oooh-oooh
0:30:07 > 0:30:10# Oooh-oooh-oooh. #
0:30:15 > 0:30:18Well, fancy finding you here
0:30:18 > 0:30:20relaxing in this rather cosy deckchair.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22It's been that kind of day,
0:30:22 > 0:30:26I've discovered the Great British holiday is alive and well and
0:30:26 > 0:30:31also at the history of Butlins, how much faith lies right at its heart.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35And as a perfect summer's day comes to an end,
0:30:35 > 0:30:38we think we've got the perfect hymn to finish with.
0:33:09 > 0:33:13Next week, we head to Yorkshire to celebrate the biggest annual
0:33:13 > 0:33:16sporting event in the world coming to town.
0:33:16 > 0:33:18Claire meets the man responsible for the hundreds of cyclists
0:33:18 > 0:33:20taking over the roads...
0:33:20 > 0:33:24and Connie sees how the churches are getting in on the act too.
