I’ve read some awful things on here today. Despite your views on the royal family he was someones husband, someone’s father, someones grandfather. Show some respect & compassion for those left that will undoubtedly be heartbroken at his passing.

Here’s me & my 84 year old nana. (Taken before the world went tits up of course.) She has dementia & is locked in alone. She was a beautiful singer in her day & we just spent an hour on the phone while I played the piano & she sang. She remembered every lyric. My heart is full.❤️

I’m so angry at the people running our country. We were banned from seeing our loved ones. Banned from saying goodbye to them. Banned from seeing them getting wed, banned from seeing them at all. We all suffered. And they carried on doing whatever the F they wanted. I’m LIVID.

Tonight my grandmother & I sang together down the phone. She was confused & upset. She called thinking I was my grandad to tell him she loved him. He died 18 years ago. After we sang “somewhere over the rainbow” she calmed & laughed. Dementia is cruel but I’m glad we laughed.

I’ve had my Dad at my house plastering. Under the Manchester lockdown rules I can have people in my house if they’re working on it. When he left I hugged him for the first time since March. It was the best hug from him I ever got. I didn’t want to let him go.
