In pictures: St Therese's relics

The casket that holds the relics

The Bishop anointing the sick and elderly

The queue built up early and people waited hours to see St Therese relics

The faithful move past the relics some of them touching the casket

Waiting outside with their own hopes and thoughts

Carmelite nuns welcoming visitors outside the cathedral

Carol came from Hartlepool and had been "looking forward to this visit all year"

The cathedral, which holds around 1,000 people, was packed for the visit

The crowds move outside as the relics leave the cathedral

Waving off the relics as they carry on their journey across the UK
