One of the tributes to the Duke over the weekend which was one that stood out for me was from a young Englishman called Jon Watts who, at age 18, was in prison and was given the opportunity to take part in the Duke of Edinburgh awards. For his skills section he worked in the prison kitchen. That ultimately led him to working in one of Jamie Oliver's restaurants. While in prison, Jon Watts earned his bronze, silver, and gold Duke of Edinburgh awards, and was awarded his gold by the Duke himself. He is now a chef in his own restaurant, and credits the Duke of Edinburgh as saving his life by unlocking his potential and giving him the confidence and the tools to succeed. Here in New Zealand, as we have heard, the Duke of Edinburgh awards system and scheme has been instrumental in changing young peoples' lives.
