Fans of Rev Dr Billy Graham are able to see the desk used by the famous evangelist to compose many of his sermons thanks to a Facebook post by his son Franklin.

Franklin Graham, founder of the Samaritans Purse charity and himself an evangelist and social activist, visited his father at his home in Montreat, North Carolina.

In a Facebook post he wrote: "Today I visited with my father Billy Graham at his home and he was doing well. I shared with him some of my plans for the coming week and places I would be speaking. I told him how last week I had met and talked with someone who had been saved in one of his meetings—He said, 'Praise the Lord!'

"We feel very blessed to still have him with us. I snapped this picture of his desk. He's not able to work at it anymore, but many sermons were written here."

The desk is dominated by family photographs taken over many years, including one of his wife Ruth, who died in 2007.

Billy Graham, now 96 years old, no longer speaks in public and is in poor health.
