Personal note.
I landed in Mexico this morning at 3am.
Once landed I had a phone call from my mum telling me my grandad had passed that morning.
Extremely close to my Grandad, he was a bloody hero to me.
Your love & support eased my pain,
Thank you so much 💚— Will Ospreay • ウィル・オスプレイ (@WillOspreay) June 19, 2025
