Father Michael McAndrew tells us about the special atmosphere.  Father James Finan describes the atmosphere in the packed coach travelling along the M4 from Swindon.  Canon John Udris is the Dean of Northampton Cathedral and a member of the national organising group for the once in a lifetime nationwide tour.  He tells us about his unique role.  Father Tom Finnegan gives a moment of his time of his busiest day as a priest, and the stewards tell us of their honour to be involved in such a special visit.

There’s more reaction to the visit from Bishop Declan in our podcast from last night and you can watch Father Robert King’s video featuring some of the pilgrims.
