During his early career Daley was taken to competitions and supported by his father, Rob.
In 2006, Rob was diagnosed with a brain tumour and died in 2011, 14 months before the London Olympics.
"There was nothing that he wouldn't do if it was going to help either make me feel better in training and give me a better opportunity to be able to go and compete.
"I hope that he never regretted spending that time with me, travelling the world and getting to see those competitions.
I so wish that he got to see me win an Olympic medal."
