More than half the population of Sri Lanka follow the teachings of the Lord Buddha, which began nearly 600 years before Christ was born. The monks start their training when they are very young, as Peter discovered when he met The Rev Wimela - aged 10.

Captured by the Japanese after the fall of Singapore, Judy survived the gruelling conditions of a forced labour camp and on her return to Britain she was awarded the Dicken Medal. The citation read ' for magnificent courage and endurance in Japanese prison camps, thus helping to maintain morale among her fellow prisoners, and for saving many lives by her intelligence and watchfulness'.
