I absolutely wanted to be here, London has given me so much over the years that I wanted to be there to thank the public for their support. I gave everything, my body didn’t respond the way I wanted to, but it doesn’t matter. People today gave me so much, they were there in the rain waiting for me to pass and they came to me cry. All these feelings I will miss very much”. (HANDLE).
