Happy Easter to one and all.
On the Easter morning show, we heard a seasonal message from Rev Patrick Sherring, Vicar of Ingatestone and Fryerning, who reminded us of the wonder of the very first Easter Morning, and how and why we still consider this to be the most important day in the Christian calendar.

We also paid tribute to ‘Only fools and horses’ scriptwriter John Sullivan who passed away over the Easter weekend. He wrote for many much-loved tv characters, adding unforgettable phrases to the English language. Remind yourself of them by clicking on our tribute to John Sullivan here:
