Alan, thank you. What a lovely time it was to catch up & reflect on the past decade and a bit.

You left a mark on your programmes and more importantly with audiences. You never forgot who you were really there to serve.

We will miss you. But this is only see you later from me

Sharing war stories and breaking bread as we reflect on our journeys.
