Andre has been amazed by how many of them want to be part of it.
He said: “There are so many wonderful people that are doing so many wonderful things.
“I want to thank them for their care and love and support. It has been wonderful. I couldn’t have asked for anything more.”

He said: “Everybody has been wonderful. All of Paul’s friends have all been writing to me and texting to check I am OK.”
Andre didn’t leave the house for almost three months after Paul died because he was so devastated.
But last Friday (June 23) he attended the British LGBT Awards.
He told the Daily Star Sunday: “I am trying to take it day by day and cope with it. At the moment I am coping.
“It was such a shock for me to lose him. It was a shock to all of us. It was so unexpected. I am still digesting it all.”
“I have kept myself to myself since Paul died. This is the first day that I actually left home.
“But I came here for a good cause. Paul is a trailblazer and always defended LGBT rights. I just had to be here.”
Paul was a hit with millions of fans thanks to his sharp wit and loveable persona.
