Radio 3 Breakfast continues its journey through the north east of England, visiting the historic city of Durham.

Built in 1093 to house the Shrine of St Cuthbert, Durham Cathedral has a rich history. It's the resting place of the Venerable Bede and the location for the first two Harry Potter films. With live music from organist Daniel Cook, local expert and folk singer Bill Elliott singing a rendition of the mining anthem ‘Farewell Johnny Miner’ and the sound of the cathedral bells, Petroc will see the morning in live from Durham Cathedral.
