I heard her talking to Nick Robinson in the Today Programme. I was moved by her courage, hope and determination as well her acceptance of her condition.

I wonder if I would be as courageous in a similar situation? I hope I never have to find out.

Saw her on TV, quite haunting and moving, and very heroic.   I don't think I could do it.

On tonight's BBC News there was an item in which she addressed the House of Lords. It was inspirational. She was rewarded by spontaneous applause - a rare event in either of the Houses of Parliament.

It struck me just how well she spoke, how articulate, how thoughtful, how humane she is in her speaking.

And then I saw our prime minister speaking at Davos.

A very striking contrast.

For me it’s her clarity of thought and purpose. She’s so alive.
