She continued, "Liz would have said that her favourite part of the whole experience was the way they were with Mateo [Liz's younger brother]. He was really shy and they had him chatting away at the end. She really loved them for that."

"It felt like walking into an extended family and having arms wrapped around you,” Vicky added.
