Did anyone listen to radio 2 today, on the Jeremy Vine show (Vanessa Feltz standing in) there was a poem read at the end of the show written by Emily ??? I think she may have been French (not sure) it was about her partner/husband who was killed a year ago in Afghanistan, I only caught the end of it but it was very moving. If anyone knows where I can listen to the full poem I'd be very grateful.

Many thanks

I also heard this - so moving. It had originally been broadcast yesterday near the end of the Paddy O'connell show on Radio 4. He was so moved by the sadness of the poem he could barely speak. I think that the French lady who had written the poem and was reading it was Emilie Braisher, a journalist for Paris Match.
Thanks for the great links TTFN. Sorry I got the author's surname wrong.
No problem, losgigs, I am an avid fan of the wireless ;)
Likewise, ttfn. I have to listen to Ken Bruce, especially the Pop quiz at 10.30.I shout out the answers to the ones I know, but too scared to apply for it myself.
