One of my favourite photos of Gary as a child. I love his smile and his tousled auburn hair.
Gary on his first computer (an Atari).
Gary in Studio Three at Abbey Road Studios, known as The Beatles’ studio, where the Fab Four recorded their albums with George Martin and used the same piano as Gary is playing. The man in the background is Peter Vince, a senior figure at Abbey Road who engineered on The Beatles’ sessions and produced many artists, including us.
Peter Howson is an internationally famous Scottish artist whose paintings have been bought by David Bowie, Mick Jagger and Madonna. This dramatic painting of Gary was one of several Peter painted that he auctioned to raise money for autism charities, including Research Autism. Peter also suffers from Asperger’s syndrome.
I was angry, emotional and upset during interviews outside the Royal Courts of Justice after the court upheld a decision to extradite and refused to allow an appeal.
Some of the excellent politicians from all parties who joined our demo outside the Home Office in December 2009 to protest against the decision to extradite.
A photo of me standing outside Westminster with Baron Maginnis of Drumglass, a champion of autistic rights and a staunch supporter of Gary remaining in the UK.
An excellent portrait of Gary by Michael Frith, who kindly presented it to us with his own personal dedication.
Alongside Gary’s MP David Burrowes outside the Palace of Westminster with a Christmas card for Gary, newly signed by many MPs and Peers inside Parliament.
Here I am outside the Home Office with Chris Huhne, Michael Meacher and David Davis after they had a meeting with Alan Johnson asking him to keep Gary in the UK.
My very supportive MP Grant Shapps at a garden party at his home that residents of the village attended.
With Jane Asher at an autism event which my husband Wilson filmed, including an appeal by Jane Asher for donations for the charity Research Autism.
This was the day that PM David Cameron and President Barack Obama raised Gary’s case at a worldwide press conference held in Washington, resulting in our house and garden being filled with camera crews from across the world.
