So sad to see such a great journalist to get this awful illness! Despite his constant struggling from such low place - he raised so much for selected charities!
Tiger was the most wonderful loyal dog! I just hope Claire he is ok now after his amazing support to Charlie! He was a busy little dog, a huge Key worker in such a despairing situation every single day!

May Charlie Rest in Eternal Peace.
