Diolch. I wanted to speak very briefly just to thank you, from all parties, for your tributes, because they are deeply comforting. I know that to be First Minister here for Rhodri was the pinnacle of his political career, and he loved this place. He loved this Parliament, this Assembly. He also loved the House of Commons. He loved the thrust of politics and he had enormous enthusiasm for it. I will never forget him going up to the House of Commons weighed down with bags and arriving back in the early hours of the morning, because, of course, they were sleepy and they were having these very, very long nights in the House of Commons then. But he did enjoy it all enormously. It meant so much to him.

One thing I want to say about Rhodri that was very important: he never looked back. He made his decisions and he never regretted them. So, when he left here as First Minister, he never looked back and he never said to me, ‘Oh, I wish I’d done this’ or ‘I wish I’d done that’. He just looked forward at what he still wanted to do. The eight years that he had after being First Minister, they were so full and so fulfilled. Many people that are here today have mentioned that he absolutely loved the garden. He had the most wonderful crops and he had them all prepared for our big extended family, who are here in the Chamber today, to give them those vegetables when they came. As Jane said, he’d just had an extra five new chickens. So, I’m going to be very busy looking after the chickens and the vegetables.

But he also did a lot of other things. He’s nearly finished his book, which I’m sure you’ll all be interested to read when it’s published. He loved being the Chancellor of Swansea University. He was very involved with Cell Therapy, a company he was very involved with. So, every minute was enjoyment, and he really always looked forward. He was immensely fulfilled. We’ve had, I would say, a rollercoaster sort of life, with the politics being so rollercoaster. You know, it’s been rosettes, rosettes all the way, but it’s been wonderful. It’s been a huge pleasure and I really feel that losing Rhodri is a terrible personal blow to me and to the family. It is an aching loss, and I know that I haven’t realised yet the full enormity. But, it is very comforting to listen to what everybody has said today, and the tributes from everybody here in the Chamber and from all over Wales that we have received have been a huge comfort. I’d like to finish by saying that he had a wonderful life and he enjoyed every minute. [Applause.]
