Gone! Big but benign brain tumour removed in a 6 hour op. Thanks to the magnificent doctors and nurses @QSNeurosurgery and for huge support from @childrenandarts , @BBCCiN , @Opera_North , @thesundaytimes and from beloved family and friends. Thankyou. What a relief.

Alan Parker told me he was the 1st child from his Islington estate to attend the local grammar Dame Alice Owen's. Walking there on Day 1 he turned to see everyone at their windows waving as he walked to a new world. "It was a moment I have put into all my films" he said. RIP.

Ways to deal with something so daunting as a large benign brain tumour. 1. Be distracted. Was at the Palace 2 days post diagnosis. 2. Wear heels en route to the op. 3. Keep smiling. Accept hugs. Give hugs. Above all, trust the medical team. Thankyou @QSNeurosurgery
