I don't think it's quite struck, the loss that we've incurred.

It's the magnitude of it I think that's making it difficult for people to grasp what's happened. London has been in touch. The Royal Academy of Music, Royal College of Music, the Guildhall School, have all been in touch to offer their sympathies as well.

One father said to me yesterday that he was looking forward to the career his son was going to have.

We're at the beginning of a long process. It's very, very difficult to get your mind around the events of this last day and around the magnitude of the loss.

It's a way to give memory to our students.

Once you have heard the lark, known the swish of feet through hill-top grass and smelt the earth made ready for the seed, you are never again going to be fully happy about the cities and towns that man carries like a crippling weight upon his back.
