Emma Webb is currently on a 160-mile journey, pulling a life-sized model horse, in honor of her daughter Brodie who took her own life last year. Her trek, which began in Chepstow, Monmouthshire, will last for 19 days, ending in London. On the thirteenth day of her journey, the Prince of Wales surprised her by showing up in Slough, Berkshire.
Webb was shocked to see the prince and exclaimed “oh my gosh!” when he arrived. The Prince hugged her and then spent some time chatting with her and her friends. The surprise visit was a welcome morale boost for Webb, who has been raising suicide awareness during her journey.
The model horse she is pulling, which is named Angel, is decorated with 16,000 forget-me-not flowers, one for each day of her daughter’s life.
