Who said it
“However much one tries to prepare oneself for something like this it’s still a dreadful shock. And we’re still trying to come to terms with that. But I have to say that the extraordinary tribute and the memories that everybody has been willing to share has been so fantastic” - The Earl of Wessex, following the death of his father the Duke of Edinburgh. “As a former prime minister, I accept that communications with government need to be done through only the most formal of channels, so there can be no room for misinterpretation” - David Cameron after insisting he complied with the rules when lobbying the UK Government on behalf of Greensill Capital. “Sometimes you will feel like it is not achievable. It is. Sometimes you will feel like you are not good enough. You are. And sometimes you will feel like you don’t deserve it. You do” - Noel Clarke, who received the award for outstanding British contribution to cinema at the Bafta film awards.
“Prince Philip was an extraordinary part of Bafta’s history. He is the reason we are actually Bafta because he bought together the television guild and the society of film, which created this organisation recognising both film and television at a time when they were actually quite separate industries” - Bafta chief executive Amanda Berry.
“OK so we’ve had fabulous sunshine, then snow, then sunshine again. And now? Both together!” - Geoff Barton, professor of bioinformatics and head of computational biology at Dundee University, following a bizarre day of weather in parts of Scotland.
