Your Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen,
It is a genuine pleasure for Catherine and me to be here tonight at the Tusk Awards for Conservation in Africa to support a cause that has never been closer to our hearts than it is right now.

This is actually our first evening out without him, so please excuse us if you see us nervously casting surreptitious glances at our mobile phones to check all is well back home.
