Oh my, if you were imagining the worst possible headline, and worst possible lede, for this story, you’d probably come up with this...

It's been fun helping pull this together over the past few months - there's a really extraordinary, huge and determined coalition of individuals and organisations behind it

Never met anyone like him, and never will again. He inspired love and awe wherever he went, had the fiercest intelligence and the most generous spirit.
