Cello pilgrim to perform special Meditation at Bradford Cathedral
Kenneth Wilson, 66, has set himself the task of cycling to all 42 Anglican cathedrals in England - in 40 of which he will give a performance of his specially-written 'Meditation on the Seven Last Words.'
The Meditation combines Mr Wilson's short poems with Bach's solo cello music, and is an evocation of Jesus's last hours on the cross.
Mr Wilson said: "It's more than a religious work, though.
"The Meditation offers music and poetry that has meaning well beyond that.
"Even if you've never been in a cathedral before, I hope the meditation – as well as the journey – will speak to you."
The 'Pilgrim Cello' pilgrimage will begin on May 18, and Mr Wilson will perform at Bradford Cathedral on Friday, May 23, at 3pm.
On his journey, Mr Wilson will also be carrying with him seven paintings by abstract artist Gillian Lever, which illustrate the Seven Last Words.
Entry to the Bradford Cathedral performance is free, with a retiring collection, and interest can be expressed at https://bradfordcathedral.churchsuite.com/events/n9k1jnfn

Erling Haaland shares emotional Jack Grealish message before Everton transfer
Erling Haaland shared a heartfelt parting message ahead of Jack Grealish's move to Everton. The striker, who has become close friends with his Manchester City teammate, posted a series of pictures of the pair together on social media along with a light blue heart and an emoji depicting two hands making a heart shape. Grealish was tagged in the message, which comes with the 29-year-old on the verge of being announced as an Everton player. READ MORE: Jack Grealish is too good to be wasted on the bench - Everton will help him find his best READ MORE: Everton new future is here after stunning first glimpse of full Hill Dickinson Stadium Haaland was the first City player to acknowledge Grealish's impending departure after talks accelerated over a season-long loan deal this week. They enjoyed immense success together, including winning the treble in 2022/23. Despite playing a key role in that campaign, Grealish has since fallen out of favour at the Etihad and was open to a move this summer in the hope of reviving his career in a World Cup year. That has led him to Everton, where he is expected to be announced as the sixth signing of the summer to date - following the permanent additions of Carlos Alcaraz, Thierno Barry, Mark Travers, Adam Aznou and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.

VIDEO: 'Kungfu Berba!' - Dimitar Berbatov becomes 'the Sensai' to unveil Man Utd's 'best jersey in decades' as Amad Diallo, Bruno Fernandes & Ruben Amorim also star in martial arts 'movie'
adidas drops retro black-and-yellow kit Berbatov channels martial arts master Fans pleased with latest offering Follow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱 WHAT HAPPENED? United kit providers adidas have ripped up the playbook with the new 2025-26 third strip, serving a bold reimagining of the club's '90s glory-day threads. Built on a deep, engineered black base, the shirt is sliced through with sharp yellow detailing, a look instantly evoking the era of Eric Cantona's collar-popping dominance. The flat-knit collar and cuffs, trimmed with yellow and blue accents, deliver that perfect mix of old-school authenticity and modern punch. THE BIGGER PICTURE Former United striker Berbatov, famed for his calm, almost meditative style on the pitch, fits the 'Sensai' persona like a tailored suit. In the launch video, he trains Bruno Fernandes, Lenny Yoro, and Amad Diallo in the art of precision, poise, and power; themes that cleverly mirror both footballing mastery and martial discipline. Ruben Amorim also steps into frame with a mix of quiet confidence, and the whole production plays like a football-flavoured kung-fu short film, equal parts style and substance. WATCH THE CLIP WHAT THE FANS ARE SAYING If adidas wanted a strong instant reaction, they've got it in spades. One fan, @KrishnaAnand_, summed up the mood of the United faithful perfectly, posting: "This is the best jersey in decades, and needs King Cantona wearing it. This, and the Black / Orange from 10 years ago, are United's best kits." @nmuntaka said: "This is the best I have seen with Berbatov as the Sensei...🥰🥰🥰." @iamvkhil hailed the former striker simply writing: "Kungfu Berba." @mimikutd wrote: "This feels like a movie. Don Dimitar Berbatov." Meanwhile, @FergiesRightRef is already dreaming of Man Utd transfer target Carlos Baleba in the new stripes. He wrote: "Baleba would look good in this" WHAT NEXT FOR MANCHESTER UNITED? While the kit is the talk of the town, attention now swings back to the pitch. United's Premier League campaign kicks off with a blockbuster home clash against fierce rivals Arsenal this Sunday. A trip to Fulham follows a week later, before newly-promoted Burnley arrive at Old Trafford on August 30.
