He shared some photos and stories with colleagues back in Kingston. Here are some of them.

12 year old Artsiom with his mum – just had a very long journey from Kharkiv which they said was in ruins. It is his dream to come to London.

Amazing mother who chatted about her journey from Kharkiv, now waiting for a train. Very emotional about leaving her husband behind

This morning he chatted to BBC Breakfast from KrakowL
