“Already giving them raucous, ripping up the rulebook, mischief-making, calling it out, loving hell in heaven. So many 10-hour lunches, so many stories, so many memories…remember that time Paul after a @prideofbritain awards we ended up in a green room with Shirley Bassey,just six of us, till 4am. Shirl singing her heart out, you two dancing, you being genius funny till I could hardly breathe….
“Or the time at Cilla’s funeral when Bishop Tom gave you 10 Hail Marys and 3 Our Fathers as penance after your eulogy? Or that one where we sitting outside a posh restaurant in Mayfair and…..Well that’s another story.. I f***in loved your ferocity, your sense of right, the fighter in you, when you raged against this ‘stinking government'(Paul’s words)…..when you set the world on fire.
“We don’t know what to do without you Paul. There was only ever one of you.”
