The world has lost a great leader and spiritual guide this week, loved by billions of people. While it is a time of real sadness for those who followed him, there’s always hope.

Look at the chimney stack on The Media Centre just above the Memory Lane studio and you will see white smoke billowing out. Yes we have the Messiah, rising from the decade of Flowerpower, peace and free love, Papa MacMcanally, loved by millions, spreading the message of brotherly love, peace, and eternal hope through the medium of free hugs, inspirational music, witty homilies, and personal anecdotes for more than 60 years.

Join the tens of thousands listening to Brother McAnally at the pulpit only here on Memory Lane Radio. This and every Sunday In the UK, 2.00pm British Summer Time, 8.00am USA Minesotta time.

Hello Friday! The weekend is almost here again so why not start yours with John Gelson, live with two hours of great music and magical memories tonight from 7, only on MLR - Memory Lane Radio.

On tonight's show, we're looking back at the entertainment devices of yesteryear - back in the 60s and early 70s, John's dad owned this early Philips 'compact cassette' recorder, Pye MW/LW transistor radio and Ferguson radiogram - that used to stand in our dining room and on a Sunday teatime, John would tune it in to the Top 20 countdown with 70s Radio 1 DJ Tom Browne.

So tonight we're asking you - way back in the 50s, 60s or 70s, which entertainment gadget of yours were you most fond of?

Email [email protected] to let me know!

All your favourite features will of course be here including our much celebrated 'Three After Tea' - three relaxing songs chosen by a Memory Lane Radio listener just like you.
