Martin lived a life that inspired me with the way he approached his learning difficulties and the love he showed us all with his Down’s syndrome. I often think that extra chromosome of Down’s syndrome is a chromosome of love, and you can’t have too much love in the world, can you?
Pavarotti’s Nessun Dorma. I’m a big sports fan and Italia 90 was such a massive part of my life when I’d just turned 17. That tune just builds and builds. I can imagine a massive coffin disappearing down while he’s singing. What better way to go?
The Nutcracker Suite pas de deux.
Come Together, by The Beatles.

Now. I enjoy what I do for a living, the children are here and I am still happily married after 25 years.
Yesterday, when Gemma, my wife, played me The End Of Suffering by Thich Nhat Hanh when we were driving into Hollywood.
