See me (dementia awareness)

A friend sent me this today and I got very emotional, in a fond, happy way.

My Dad was the master at talking through a smile to try and put you off and make you laugh

The feeling of these moments being over is hard to cope with. And whilst he’s still here in body, he probably wouldn’t remember this moment now anyway 🥺

But the point is, I do. I remember. And I’m so happy he’s my Dad. Will forever be proud of that.

He hosted my charity Grand Ball for a good 10 years, year in year out he brought his ‘A Game’ (he called it) and ran it as though it was being televised.

What I’d give to have one more evening watching him on stage doing what he did best. And what made me want to entertain and join the world of ‘showbiz’ - all because of you Dad.

PS - I feel obliged to say he’s still alive for those who don’t understand loss to dementia. Not life.

If you’re lucky to still have parents and even luckier have a relationship with them too. Cherish every, single moment.

🥺❤️

BBC Radio 2 presenter Paul Gambaccini has shared the news that he’s living with dementia.

Diagnosed in early 2025, Paul has Alzheimer’s disease, the most common cause of dementia.

'As Freddie Mercury once sang, you can't turn back the clock, you can't turn back the tide. Ain't that a shame.

'I’m grateful for the kindness and support I’ve already received. I will be as open as I can as things progress. For now, I wish to be given the space to keep on broadcasting the music I love to the listeners I love even more. These are the days of our lives.’

We’re proud to have supported Paul and his husband Christopher Sherwood since his diagnosis, and along with all his fans, we’re so pleased that Paul will be continuing to broadcast The Paul Gambaccini Collection on BBC Radio 2 from 8-10pm on Sundays and his shows on Greatest Hits Radio.
