Morning! I've just got to the BBC studios from Daybreak. It means I get here a bit early but it gives me time to sit in the BBC restaurant and have a panini and a cup of coffee. I met a really interesting man at Daybreak today. He was a guest on their programme, but he came up to me in the green room and introduced himself because he recognised me.

He was in the studio to talk about the Queen meeting the IRA man Martin McGuiness in Belfast later today. It really is a remarkable thing, isn't it that the Queen is actually going to shake hands with him - since, if you think about it, he was in, if not high up within the IRA when they assassinated Lord Mountbatten.

Anyway, this man I met is called Jeffrey Blum - he was a victim of the IRA when they set off a bomb in 1992 in the City of London. He was just an innocent passer by, and he was almost killed. His right arm was almost blown apart and his skull was pierced and broken by huge bits of glass. He was in a coma for nine days.

There he was this morning showing me how surgeons literally rebuilt his arm. They took out a big chunk of muscle from his back, and put it where his bicep should be - his whole arm looks like an anatomical dummy's - you can see the insides though wafer life skin grafts - absolutely amazing.

You'd think he'd be bitter but he actually works with IRA prisoners to try to get them to see a future of peace and reconciliation. Amazing. I'm going to talk to him on BBC Radio Berkshire before 11 this morning. He's worth listening to.

This is me with him this morning.
