BBC News’ Clive Myrie reflects on having to ‘write goodbye’ to family amid Ukraine crisis

He continued to The Big Issue: “So for instance, when I was embedded with the Royal Marines going into Iraq in 2003, we all had to write goodbye letters to our families, a sort of last will and testament I suppose.

“Just in case we didn’t come back.

“That process, saying goodbye in letter form, does remind you that you might not get back.”

Clive’s emotional report into the Ukraine crisis yesterday was widely praised after he appeared to shed a tear on TV.
