"It was a dream night really," the 36-year-old said."Going through the front gates, it was quite surreal. It was full of tourists, and I thought 'that used to be me'. It still is me." Speaking about the importance of the campaign, John said:"I want to help young people when they suffer a close loss. I lost my mum Maria, at the age of 12, and I felt very isolated.
"It is about helping them understand emotions and feelings when someone dies, exploring those things associated with loss but in a gentle way. It’s about offering support to a child, compassion to friends and support for teachers on how they can communicate and speak. He added:"It was an absolute honour to be able to talk to the King about this. Her Majesty The Queen’s recent death was very much at the forefront of my mind when talking to him about bereavement awareness - he's been there.
