Rev Kate Bottley is joined by writer and journalist Cole Moreton to chat about love, loss and lighthouses.

Reverend Kate Bottley meets the writer and journalist Cole Moreton to chat about love, loss and lighthouses.

Cole Moreton has reported on major events from around the world, including the Waco siege, the Olympics, 9/11 and the death of Nelson Mandela. His ±«Óătv Radio 4 series and book 'The Boy Who Gave His Heart Away' won multiple awards. Cole joins Kate to chat about his debut novel, 'The Light Keeper', about love, loss and the landscape of Beachy Head, at the edge of England. Plus how his triplets got on with their A-Level results this week.

Plus the CEO of the charity Mary's Meals Magnus Macfarlane-Barrow joins us to talk about charity and its importance in society. In his new book 'Gift: Charity and the Art of Living Generously' Magnus explores some of the recent scandals in the charity sector, but argues that the fundamental act of giving is still vitally important and brings just as much to the giver as to the receiver.

And we hear the remarkable story of John Hutchin, a veteran of the 'Chindits', a unit of Allied soldiers fighting in the Burmese jungle during World War II. Following the 75th anniversary of VJ Day John tells us his story of survival, and how honoured he feels to tell the stories of the comrades he lost.

Producer: Rebecca Maxted.
