We have tried distraction which works to an extent but is impossible to do at all times.

Comforting him after the fact does not help at all. He is too small to comprehend If we try to explain why someone has left.

For our fella we used to take him to the window and wave to the person as they left. After a few days he started to calm down a bit.
