  Thank you to the many thousands of people across the whole of the NHS & social care who helped deliver the care during the pandemic. Has been a strange and difficult day. But felt it was important to give witness to some small part of the enormity of the challenge we all faced.

  Today was hard. Can’t lie. Mum’s funeral. Smaller & briefer than I’d hoped but feel fortunate that we were able to have it at all. First day off from #COVID19 since it all began. Still so much to do. Back on it tomorrow. Love you Mum. We’ll make you proud.

  Watched Top Gun with the kids & suddenly realised that F14 Tomcats today are as old as Spitfires were when Top Gun was released in 1986 🤯 #TopGun #TopGunMaverick

  For a lot of reasons this was a particularly special day out. Thank you to everyone who has stood by me over the years & got me here. But most especially of all to my Mum & Dad. Couldn’t have done any of it without you!

  I’ve been in hospitals all over the country this past fortnight, they’re all running hot. #NHS teams who haven’t stopped since March are facing a rapid new surge in #Covid19 cases. They need your help. Stay at home where you can. Wear a mask & keep your distance where you can’t.
• 
  If you stay at home you will save lives. Can’t say it plainer than that. Protect us while we protect you. #StayHomeSaveLives #NHS

  This is my hospital today, right now. Spoiler: it’s not empty. Far from. Help us help you. Stay and home where you can. Wear a mask and keep your distance where you can’t. This is real, this is tough. Don’t let anyone tell you it isn’t #Covid19 #NHS

  Moving Dad out of the house today. Been here 35 years but he can’t quite manage on his own anymore. Tough day for all of us. But looks like Mum booked an appropriately magnificent sunset to see us off.

  Infections, hospital & ICU numbers all rising. We’re not out of this yet. Please do what you can, where you can to protect the people around you. Above all get vaccinated. We’re in this together; we’ll only get out of it by looking after each other. #Covid19 #NHS #FreedomDay

  Farewell & thanks for everything Captain James Lovell. Apollo 8 Command Module Pilot - arguably NASA’s boldest mission - Commander & survivor of the ill fated Apollo 13. I’ve met few people more inspiring or more generous with their legacy. God Speed, safe flight. #AdAstra #NASA

  So massively proud of the
  @uclh
  team, as I am every single person who works for our #NHS and everything the NHS is. This is us, this is what we do. It’s rough right now but we’ll get through it. We always do. #COVID19
