Please read this whole thread. Such sad news for Dermot but he sends a very important message about prostate cancer @ProstateUK
Some personal news……I’ve been diagnosed with Stage IV advanced prostate cancer I’m fortunate to have a simply outstanding medical team looking after me, who I can’t thank enough - they are administering the best possible care with expertise, compassion and sensitivity.

I've met the tank driver who broke down Belsen's gates. In 2015 he walked into the Bury Free Press on #HolocaustMemorialDay to tell his tale. Reporter Laura Smith asked if it still gave him nightmares. He said: "Every night." He died in a home in 2016. bbc.com/news/uk-englan…
On @BBCiPlayer: Directed by Sam Mendes, this is the story of two soldier-cameramen, Sgt Mike Lewis and Sgt Bill Lawrie, who witnessed the liberation of Belsen during the closing days of World War II. bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…
Thinking of my mother in law Isabel Lowy who was liberated by the British from Bergen Belsen eighty years ago. @HolocaustUK
