Grandad We Love You

Tom Shakespeare, who's just become a grandad for the first time, reflects on the sadness of generations kept apart.

"I can see her on my phone, I can even hear her on my phone, but I can't feel her weight in my arms and her wiggling warmth," writes Tom Shakespeare about his new-born granddaughter.
With everyone in lock-down, Tom talks about his longing to meet his first grand-daughter.
And he knows it's a sadness he shares with many other grandparents.
