:00:18.:00:26.

Preston Passion was held at the bus station and aired on BBC One.

:00:26.:00:32.

It was time for that hard work to come together. A modern-day

:00:32.:00:37.

interpretation of the Easter story, televised live on BBC One, from

:00:37.:00:47.

Preston Bus Station. I nodded. It is different, and very

:00:47.:00:56.

nice. You loved the dancing. More than 1,500 people took part,

:00:56.:01:00.

:01:26.:01:31.

people. It was all part of the Preston Guild celebrations, held

:01:31.:01:38.

every 20 years since 1179. I was in the 1972 Guild. I enjoyed it then

:01:53.:01:57.

experience. The Preston Passion was a chance

:01:57.:02:02.

for everyone to take part. Those who did, are unlikely to forget the

:02:02.:02:06.

experience. If you missed it, you can see the

:02:06.:02:14.

whole thing on the BBC iPlayer. New procedures have been introduced

at Manchester Airport after it emerged that around 100 passengers

:02:21.:02:23.

recently did not have their passports checked because they were

:02:23.:02:27.

sent the wrong way. They arrived on flights from Amsterdam, Brussels

:02:27.:02:34.

weeks, but this month that coincides with the Easter holiday,

:03:08.:03:12.

and there are worries that people may get caught out. Every time we

:03:12.:03:18.

have a spring tide we have some sort of difficulty, because the

:03:18.:03:25.

length of our coast line we have these areas where a more extreme

:03:25.:03:30.

weather type can come in. So Sunday will see the highest tide on our

:03:30.:03:34.

coastline, and the advice is to check the tide times and only

If they win all the games, they deserve to win this title. But
