Devastated that North Yorkshire police officer PC Rosie Prior & a member of the public Ryan Welford lost their lives on NY roads yesterday. Our hearts are broken for them & their families. Rosie’s commitment to serving the public shows she was the very best of us.

Spent the day with an army of volunteers putting together hampers and dinners for people who will be alone on Christmas Day. Not sure I’ve ever done anything more worthwhile in my life. A joy to be apart of. 🎄
