It's Foodie Friday today and it seems an appropriate time to share this excellent performance from Darragh Cowley, who became friends with Martyn Hett when they were both waiting for the 192 bus to take them home.

Darragh, who is now a successful actor, was so moved by Martyn's tragic passing that he wrote this poem to convey the story of how they met and became good friends.

To commemorate the 9th anniversary of the Manchester Arena attack that took 22 lives and injured many more, Darragh has made this film which is so very beautifully done. He shot the film in Heaton Moor, the location of Martyn's family home.

Please watch Worker Bee and Bus Stop Boy. 👇
