Radio broadcaster Nick Ferrari has sung the praises of Jerusalem after touring the city during a trip to Israel with education charity ORT UK.

The LBC Breakfast host, on his first trip to the Jewish state, said after visiting the Western Wall: “You can’t overstate the significance of what I’ve just been through. There’s an extraordinary aura of calm and devotion. Nothing compares.

"I thought I was moved when I went to the Basilica in Rome, but this is like nowhere else like this on the planet.”

The tour of Jerusalem, which included a visit to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and a stroll through the old city market, concluded with a moment of reflection at the Kotel, where Mr Ferrari left a note in the wall.
