At the end of his verse, the student threw pages of lyrics into the air as Harry laughed and cheered him on.
Harry later gave a speech to the graduates of the Nottingham Academy’s Coach Core program, encouraging them to take their training out into the real world.

“You’ve got to remember your roots, guys. You’ve got to remember where you’ve come from,” he said. “The effects that you can have in your communities now, by making this decision, and now by bringing your skills back to your community and being able to engage other people, is something that is seriously lacking in cities across the U.K.”
