    Firstly met Colin on a Sunday at Darlington, he was amazingly polite & very helpful. He's helped me through the hardest thing I've had to do, & been a pc in Manchester I've seen a lot. Carole performed a wonderful ceremony & my mam couldn't have been happier with her saddest day. Thank you all.
