One story I should have mentioned yesterday is that of Garri Holness, who lost his left leg below the knee in the 7/7 attacks.

I know exactly what Garri is going through; the physical pain, the grief for the loss of a limb, the long road to recovery.

But I also know that his strength of spirit will see him through.

"I'm not allowing myself to have a bad day," he's quoted as saying.

"If I allow myself to have a bad day then they [the bombers] have won that one day from me.

"I'm not allowing that to happen. I won't let them beat me.

"I'm looking at myself as being one of the lucky ones.

"My life still remains here, I can still move on with it."


Garri will go on to do great things.
