A cherished organ which belonged to a North East church is being given a new home in Malta.
The instrument had been part of Sunderland s Holy Trinity Church, which is being turned into a cultural venue through a £4.3m restoration.
The organ will itself be restored when it arrives in Malta before being installed at the Basilica of Christ the King in the town of Poala.
Once in place, it will be used for daily worship services.
The organ was built in the late 1800s and initially belonged to a church in the South of England.
