I FELT priviledged to watch the Songs of Praise programme, which was filmed on the Town Hall steps.

The young children did Bolton proud and it was beautiful to see everyone together in peace and concord. Watching the Commonwealth Games unfold daily, seeing parts of home, has been enjoyable. We notice changes in many areas, but the one thing we notice has never changed and that is the friendliness of Lancashire people. Let's hope the atheletes and their people carry with them for ever the goodwill of Lancashire people.
