The BBC Trust today announced its findings on a number of appeals about the broadcast of Radio 4's Thought for the Day and BBC editorial policy on non-religious content.

The Trust found that the editorial policy of only allowing religious contributors to participate on Thought for the Day does not breach either the BBC Editorial Guideline on impartiality or the BBC's duty to reflect religious and other beliefs in its programming.

In case you didn't hear it, I was on BBC Radio 4's 'Soul Music' yesterday, talking about a piece of music by Richard Strauss from Four Last Songs. I was introduced to it by a funeral client.

You can listen again on the BBC's i-player for the next week or so, or it's repeated on Saturday at 3.30pm. Be warned; several people have said it made them cry, so have a tissue handy.
