Â鶹Éç

For more than 30 years Sally Magnusson has presented a wide range of news and current affairs programmes across the Â鶹Éç, reported for Panorama, anchored Breakfast Time for a decade, and become a familiar member of the Songs of Praise team.

Alongside regular television and radio commitments in Scotland, and bringing up five children, she’s made time to write books - from a biography of the Olympic athlete Eric Liddell of Chariots of Fire to a children’s series featuring Horace the Haggis.

Her powerful memoir of her mother Where Memories Go received huge acclaim as a raw and affectionate profile of a family living with dementia. This weekend she’s at the Gladfest event at Gladstone’s Library at Hawarden, Flintshire speaking about her first novel The Sealwoman’s Gift.
