The Salvation Army in Petersfield is 140 years old this year.

They have an exhibition on Friday 19 and Saturday 20 June at their Hall on Swan Street, so people can see and hear all about it.

Regimental Sergeant Major Steve Field talks to Mike Waddington about the event, some of the history, the War Cry and where the Salvation Army is going - a long way from starting in London in 1865 to 135 countries today.

Shine Radio has covered the 140 year celebrations and these can be heard at:
