Bishop of Manchester takes a ride on 'The Big One' for charity

The Rt Rev Dr David Walker and around 30 others took a ride on the UK's largest rollercoaster, dubbed 'The Big One' in Blackpool.

Speaking about the ride afterwards on Premier's News Hour, he said: "It's such a good cause. I've worked for the Children's Society for many years. They were a real help to me when I was a young vicar in a parish with very high deprivation, and I'm always up for a dare."

Gogglebox's Kate Bottley joined in alongside other reverends, canons and bishops from all over the country, including areas where kids had been helped by the charity.

So far they've managed to raise more than £6,000pounds for the organisation.

Bishop of Manchester, David Walker said:
