What a brave, courageous and beautiful person #lizhatton was.
Taken so young.
We were so glad to have been able to show Liz and family around our studios so she could explore her passion for photography.
Her family are equally as brave to have faced her diagnosis with such courage and hope.

Rest in Peace.

RIP
When I was a young- and green - political reporter, Ken would give me wise words and sage advice. Always giving of his time and expertise to British reporters thrust from time to time into the complexities of Northern Ireland politics.
