A few years back I did a podcast with a wonderful lady who described the moment the police came knocking on her door telling her that her son had been killed in a road traffic collision. It was a deeply moving interview as she describes that morning and the utter loss she continues to feel.
I still keep in contact with her because I was the Police Officer who delivered that message.

I’ve driven the equivalent of Devon and back today from Lancashire so it’s a brew and an early night with @TimesRadio and @kaitborsay 🌱 I may not make it to 10 o’clock
NEW @AmberRuddUK to lead Govt review to “root out” violence, Illicit drugs and organised crime in prisons..
My questions are Why and Why Now?
We’ve had 5 major prison reviews in 3 years (Bristow, Gauke, Owens, Hall, Owers), @CommonsJustice inquiry & countless inspections, each of which contains numerous recommendations to make prisons safer & more secure.. Why not just *act* on those findings instead of setting up another review which will take 6 months to report? This feels like an exercise in deflection. And if there is to be a review it’s so late. Chief prisons inspector @charlie_taylor6 warned *12 months ago* (in his annual report) about the threat from organised crime & illicit drugs (he said it was a national security threat) and only now the govt sets up a review…
Another lovely photograph of the Princess of Wales with a fellow climber on Ben Nevis this weekend ⛰️😍
According to the OP, Catherine stopped to chat with his group, shared flapjacks, listened to their fundraising story for a local young lad battling cancer, and spoke about her own charity challenge.
As the challenge continued through the night, they crossed paths with the Princess and her team again on the route, with plenty of encouragement exchanged along the way.

@afneil@afneil I recently got a new part time job which means I use the trains on a daily basis all over the country. When is works it works well but my experience over the last two Fridays have been nightmare journeys, train breakdowns, cancellations and arriving home many hours late.
@CcibChris I used to be a photographer at BAe and I remember a Jaguar taking off from a grass airfield, its afterburners churning up the soil and it bounced down the strip. It was quite remarkable, that and one landing on the as yet unopened M55 motorway
