A very warm welcome to everyone at this very special time of year. I would like to personally wish everyone a wonderful Christmas and a successful, happy and prosperous 2017.
This time of year is a time to spend time with family and friends, whilst also giving thought to those people less fortunate.
It’s been a very mixed 2016 with so many celebrities from the World of Sport, Entertainment, film & Music, politics leaving this World for what we hope is a better place. Plus of course the continued World at War and fight against terrorism. There have of course been some very happy and memorable moments too.
I was particularly moved on Wednesday with the wonderful smile of Bradley Lowery the Sunderland supporter stricken with terminal cancer at just 5 years of age. My thoughts are with Bradley and his family this Christmas and of course others in less fortunate circumstances.
My charity and community support in 2017 will continue with my work as Patron of NARS, whilst supporting Star Throwers Cancer Care & Support, Chapel Road School for disabled children and the Norfolk Community Foundation.
Once again have a very merry Christmas and a healthy, happy and prosperous New Year.
