“The hospital are doing an amazing job and [he] could not be in a better place.

“We want nothing more than to give you good news and will do what we can. Please can you respect the privacy of the family at this time.

“We understand that you want to know how he is getting on, but please refrain from contacting the hospital and the family for updates.

“Your messages of support are amazing and we thank you for each and every one of them.”
