The film and book Chariots of Fire, recreates the story of Olympic runners Harold Abrahams and Eric Liddell. When Eric Liddell discovered that the time trials for his race were on Sunday he refused to run for fear of breaking the Sabbath Commandment. Several Englishmen, including the Prince of Wales tried to get Liddell to change his mind. "There's only one way to resolve this," said Lord Cadogan, "and that's for this young man to change his mind." "We are here to explore ways in which we can help this young man reach that decision," answered the Prince of Wales.
