Woken up in California to sad news of Sir Ben Helfgott's passing. I worked with Ben for many yrs. For all those who knew, or knew of, him, his loss is truly momentous. Tonight I will speak at a Shabbat service in California and will of course speak about this unforgettable man.

So sad to hear the passing of the amazing Anna Scher. Spent wonderful times at the Anne Scher Theatre watching in awe as she nurtured her young drama students, many to outstanding success. I was honoured to once receive Anna's annual award from Yolanda King, daughter of MLKing.

Last night we celebrated 14 years of Daniel Mendoza OBE chairing the Anne Frank Trust so magnificently. Excited to see Nicola Cobbold as new Chair, bringing many skills to the role. Daniel is joining me as Co-Vice President of the Trust so our work continues! Anne Frank Trust
