Speaking via his official Twitter handle, the Silverbird founder compared life to sand in the wind while revealing that his mum passed on around 4.40 am.

Calling her his “jewel of inestimable value”, Murray-Bruce said his late parent was his best friend and that his consolation is that he gave her his presence, time, and his everything.

“Life, Indeed like sand in the wind. Today, it’s here, tomorrow, it’s gone”, he wrote. “My mum is gone. She died at 4.40 am this morning.

“My gem of inestimable value, my support system, my best friend, my everything – she’s gone.

“My consolation is that in her lifetime, I gave her not just everything that money could buy, but most importantly, I gave her my presence, my time, my everything.

“On uncountable occasions, I will go to her house and hug her and play with her for no reason but love, the kind that only sons share with their mums.

“I love you mum, and I miss you. This one hurts so bad. Forever yours.”
