It was amazing that our mother had such a huge effect on so many people,” he said.
“It was one of the hardest things I have ever done.
But if I had been in floods of tears the entire way round how would that have looked?”
“In the situation I was in, it was self-preservation.
I didn’t feel comfortable anyway, having that massive outpouring of emotion around me.
