In emotional scenes, barrister Rob told his pal: “First of all you’re sunshine in human form and to be beside a friend, we don’t really talk about it that much.
“I just want to say more than anything else, you model the possibility against the backdrop of darkness of being light in every sense.
“And I also want to say, I am going to use language of my grandma, I’m kvelling, I’m so proud of you today.
“Your amazing documentary, Caring for Derek has been shortlisted for a National TV Award and you have used the platform you have for change and it just makes me proud to know you.”
