'A lovely, lovely person': Friend and manager of Dai Henwood remembers late comedian's impact

There's reflections on Dai Henwood's positive impact on improving awareness of bowel cancer. 

The 48-year-old comedian died today, six years after developing the disease.

He kept performing comedy throughout his treatment, and produced a book and documentary series on his cancer journey.

Friend and manager Richard Carrington says he's had rafts of emails describing how Henwood's story helped them.

"I've had a number of people say they went and got colon testing and they found something. So I can say that he actually saved lives."
