The 100th bench was unveiled on Thursday, exactly six years since Jay’s death and two years since the charity’s first bench was unveiled in Sawbridgeworth, Hertfordshire.

“Legend on the Bench is a way to remember and honour lives lost through suicide, while leaving a legacy that can help save lives in the future,” said Hazard, who said better support was “desperately needed”.

Also at Thursday’s ceremony were former Spurs and Queens Park Rangers striker Mark Falco, Graham Roberts – who played for Spurs, Chelsea and Rangers – and East 17 singer Tony Mortimer.

Hazard said an estimated 200 people attended the ceremony, where Conservative Harlow Council leader Dan Swords announced his authority would be donating £5,000 to the charity.
