A toffee tin sewing kitDuring school half-term there will be events in museums all over the country encouraging people to take part in A History of the World. However, 91Èȱ¬ Northern Ireland's Gerry Anderson couldn't wait to get started and somehow he managed to hijack a 91Èȱ¬ bus for a journey of historical discovery.

Gerry's day trip set off from Cookstown and swept around the south of Lough Neagh stopping at Lisburn and Dungannon before arriving in Belfast.

On the way he picked up a group of listeners, all holding objects with histories that they wanted to explore and ferried them to the curators at the Ulster Museum.

Take a look at the objects that Owen, Rodney, Rosemary, Paul and Priscilla bought along, from Viking cloak pins to a letter from Neil Armstrong, and listen to Gerry Anderson on Wednesday to hear more about his historic day trip.Ìý
