The dad-of-one went on, noting how he could “write an essay” on how unfair it is that she won’t be able to see their son grown up. Reflecting on Hannah’s legacy, he added: “But that’s not how you saw it.

“The remarkable person that you were, the phrase you used so many times over the last few weeks – and it set me off every time; ‘I’m so at peace with the life I’ve lived’ is something we can all admire. The fact that right until the end you were putting others feelings first and making us all laugh was just you to a tee.”

He continued: “Your life can be defined simply by love, friendship and strength and I’ll make sure these are cornerstones of Rory’s life. I want him to know how much everyone loved his mum, and how much love you gave. How you would say to me in any of my dark moments, ‘remember you are so loved’.”

Tom then wrote: “I want him to know that you were someone who could walk into a room of strangers and come out having made friends for life, and that our social calendar was always so full we physically couldn’t fit in everyone we wanted to see.

Tributes have poured in

“I also want him to know the bravery you showed everyday, facing into anything life threw at you with strength of a warrior, a smile on your face and laughter in your eyes. This is the legacy you leave for our little boy, this and so much more. Thank you for 13 amazing years.”

Radio presenter Vick Hope also paid tribute to Hannah: “I’m so so sorry Tom, sending love and strength to you and Rory, this is so cruel and unfair, but so beautifully put: Hannah was and is so loved, and put so much love into the world. Thinking of you and the inspiring legacy she leaves.”

Giovanni Fletcher penned: “Tom, I’m so sorry to read this. There are no words. It’s simply shit and cruel. Thinking of you and Rory right now, and will be thinking of Hannah always. Xx.”
