Very moving. I don;t mind admitting the bit about the pets made me tear up a bit.

And from the man himself.
Excited to share the news that I was asked to write the official poem to mark #BluePeter60. The team have done a beautiful job with the visuals. 200k+ views yesterday and a lot of very moving responses. Watch, tag, share, RT, love! It's a celebration of childhood itself. Tx https://t.co/A9xj14tbb8
