It’s kindness like this that makes me pinch myself even more.
If you’d asked this 23yr old lad ten years ago what he’d be doing now - he’d still be dreaming of this job!
Thankful to all those who have been so lovely and supportive to me throughout my career thus far.

Totally floored by this. Raeph was so good to me when I first started at the BBC and was a beacon of light and encouragement particularly for younger people in our team.
Always there for a chat, the nicest guy you could meet and a total privilege to work with. RIP my friend
The BBC News camera team are reeling today. We have lost a dear friend. Raeph Ballantyne was one of the kindest, gentlest, most talented colleagues you could hope to work alongside. Gone far too soon.
