“This has come as a real shock. Harry and Jules hit it off from the moment they met.”

The Walking With The Wounded founder Ed Parker released a statement about Jules: “He was a properly good person with an energy beyond what you could imagine and everything was done with a huge great toothy grin.

“He had this extraordinary ability to engage with people. He was a diamond.”

“I know that he admired hugely Harry’s commitment to both mental health and the veteran community. There was a lot of respect both ways.”
