Having left Malvern almost 15 years ago for America, my thoughts are never far away from family and friends who still reside there and in other areas of the UK.

This past week has been a difficult and surreal time, the devastation is unbelievable. I hope you realise how proud British citizens, at home and overseas, felt when the Queen's Guard played The Stars and Stripes.

The British nation could not have chosen a finer time to break from tradition to offer this overture of support. Thank you.
