Such an amazing speech on GBN.
So so sad that Henry was let down from the people that should have been there for him. Not putting him in handcuffs!

I didn't know your son, but I was filled with immense sadness reading in the newspaper of his death. He sounds like an affectionate, hard-working, lad. My heart aches for your loss and I wanted to know that many of us "out here" think of him, of those who loved him and of the circumstances of his passing. We must ensure this never again happens to another sweet son, or to a family that had many dreams for his happy future.

Had the pleasure of teaching Henry during his time at secondary school. A polite, funny, genuinely lovely boy inside and out. You will be missed by so many people but you will never be forgotten. Sending lots of love to all his family and friends 💙❤️
