“I think what she gave was a sense of, above all, the notion of service – we all owe something. “There is something in our capacity to do that can make not just the world better, but your neighbourhood better, your household better, your workplace better, and that’s what she communicated to me and it was an honour to meet her.” He also said: “To all the people of England, all the people of the United Kingdom, our hearts go out to you.
