A clip of a special documentary filmed by Brenda and her daughter Tanisha was played  - showing them discussing life since Jamal died aged 31.

Tanisha told how she had "got work to do" as she processed her grief for Jamal.

She said people had "held them up" to keep them going, to which Brenda said: "It is a blessing."

Later in the chat Brenda, in a broken voice, told how they had to "keep going."

Jamal received an MBE at the age of 23 for his services to music - and he was a Prince's Trust Ambassador.

And the trailblazer was also known for his charitable services and helping the next generation, setting up a series of youth clubs in London communities in 2020.

It was later revealed how he died from a "sudden heart attack" at the home he shared with mum Brenda.

An inquest was told how the cardiac arrest came after a late night cocaine and booze session.
