The flags are out, Framwellgate Bridge, Durham
A somewhat unusual (if not highly visible) method of keeping in touch with God.
This chap was signaling this afternoon from the Silver Street side of Framwellgate Bridge to a higher presence.
The higher presence in this case being another person up on the very top of the church tower of St Margaret of Antioch across on the west side of the city centre.
Now, my knowledge of semaphore is a little rusty, so I couldn't actually translate what was being conveyed. However, I'm guessing this might have had something to do with an event that's been called a 'Weekend of Mission' by the Bishops of the North of England.
Some twenty five Bishops and their teams from the northern half of The Church of England have been commissioned by the Archbishop of York, Dr John Sentamu to ‘Go out and spread the word’ in communities across the Diocese of Durham.
