Jim Carter & me with @jasonwatkinsofficial & @clarabetsyfrancis at a screening of their intensely personal film about Maudie, the daughter they lost to #sepsis. It’s an incredibly powerful account of living with grief and learning about a killer disease that most of us know little about. Please watch. #InMemoryOfMaudie Thursday 30th March at 9pm on @itv 1 & @itvxofficial. #sepsisawareness #childbereavement

My ancestor started life as an apprentice at Chatham Dockyard and worked his way up to being a naval architect here at Somerset House. That’s not him, that’s Historian Spencer Wisdom and some bloke who kept following me around for a week. #dnajourney

It was a real honour to interview Guy Deacon about his odyssey across Africa with Parkinson’s – raising awareness about this cruel disease. A stubborn, witty, inspiring man. Please read his book, Running on Empty. All proceeds go to The Deacon Foundation, @cureparkinsons and @parkinsonsafrica. Photo 1: With Guy and his wife Tania, @tdhikingadventures. 2: With Guy and the VW van he drove across Africa, raising awareness for Parkinson’s Disease, from which he suffers. 3: With Guy and film director @robhayward_ just before the gig, whose documentary (to be broadcast on Channel4) charts Guy’s remarkable journey. 4-6: 📸 Jack Gaunt The stunning setting for our conversation was @northcadburycourt – huge thanks to Janet Montgomery for hosting the event.
A memorable evening at Churcher’s College where the ‘Two Colours’ Ukrainian Women’s Choir performed a stunning range of traditional and contemporary songs to a packed house, raising over £11,000 for an armoured medical evacuation vehicle. We heard inspiring stories from Brits who have been driving essential supplies to the front line, the Military Wives sharing their experiences of joining together in a collective endeavour while separated from loved ones, and from the Ukrainian women themselves, who want only to be back home as families once again, in a Ukraine free to be itself.
