Paris

I am due to be the guest speaker at the Colchester advanced driving group tomorrow night.

Just had an email from the organiser to say that he will not be there as his son was one of those killed at the music concert in Paris on Saturday night.

I cannot even begin to imagine what he and his family must be going through. I have dealt with many hundereds of fatalities over the years, but this is something completely different.

My respect to the chap for letting me know that the he will not be there but the meeting goes ahead. To be honest, if that had been me, I am not so sure that I would have been as thoughtful at a time like this.
