"Just because you realise how precious life is and it puts it all in perspective.

Also speaking on the TV documentary was Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall. The 68-year-old praised her husband’s idea for the charity, saying: "I’m really proud to be married to some who, 40 years ago, aged 27, had the vision to put it together, I mean it was an incredible idea then.""For somebody – who was very young then – to think of it and to think of these very disadvantaged young people who had literally been to hell and back and to find a way to give them a second chance in life. You know if you’re passionate about something you can do it, he cares so much about these young people," she added.
