And so, under this attack, it is vital that we remember the greatness of the Britain all around us.

I thank the British people for the opportunity to serve. I go with good grace. I go with a smile, and I go proud of everything that we have achieved.

So, as I now pass the baton to Andy Burnham, I wish him every success. He has my full support.
