<p class=MsoNormal><em><span style='color:blue'>BBC Radio Bristol and BBC
Somerset joined forces with Bristol community station BCfm 93.2 yesterday to
broadcast a special programme to mark the funerals of the Polish President Lech
Kaczynski and his wife Maria.</span></em><i><span style='color:blue'><br>
<br>
<em>The special programme was presented by BBC Radio Bristol's Trevor Fry and
BCfm's Magda Bond. Trevor said: "The Polish community here in the West of
England is more than 20,000 strong. Understandably the sense of grief is huge.
We're pleased to be in a position to provide a programme brought that community
together on such a sad and poignant day."</em><br>
<br>
<em>The programme on Sunday, had reports from BCfm's presenter, Basha Everett
in Krakow, where the president's funeral was held earlier in the day, from London
where the service was being relayed on huge screens and from Polish communities
across the West Country.</em></span></i><br>
<br>
<span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>I think this is
a great example of joint working and is something we are looking at doing in
the future.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
