On behalf of the Berylson family, an enormous and very heartfelt thank you to everyone for the outpouring of love and affection for dad following the tragic events of last week. This remains a very challenging time for us but the many thousands of messages of support we received from our Millwall family have been a source of tremendous comfort.
