Sending deepest sympathy around the globe to Rosie Graeme and Lauren as well as all who loved Elliot Elliot had a very special sense about himself. I loved him as a youngster his ambition and great smile. He was so easy to talk to especially when you got to chat about diary farming and fishing. May his spirit soar 🩵🩵🩵
