Just heard it on local radio, even the reporter was getting emotional and the crowds were shouting his name. From what people being interviewed said, the people of Doncaster are very proud of their hero and rightly so.

I only wish I had a fifth of his bravery and stoicism.

This should be compulsive viewing for all the scum, dross and layabouts that sponge off this country and winge and whine that the world owes them a living and do absolutely nothing to benefit our society.

And I bet he will never sell his torch, no matter how desperately he needs money.

Thanks for showing it Mike

Regards
Brian
