Lewis Capaldi amazingly working through his symptoms and showing he can still be amazing.
Andrew complained of tics at some point in his last days. I wish he could have seen this performance.

Here's the third letter to Andrew from his friend Rhiannon, who is one of the 9 trustees....

The photo was taken in his last year when he had just received his new glasses.
