“It was a real honour to deliver a presentation at the celebration of The Life and Legacy of Jill Dando at the Houses of Parliament.

I had the privilege of meeting Mr Speaker, he was one of the loveliest people I have met.

It was amazing to tell him about my voice on my eyegaze technology and why I chose Queen Elizabeth II’s voice.

I feel very proud to be a part of the Jill Dando News team to carry on spreading good news like Jill Dando would have wanted!”
