    What an inspirational guy! To think his initial target was something like £1000 when he was walking around his garden. RIP, Sir

    I always say there's plenty of good people but sadly the horrible one's (and there's plenty) seem to stand out more.

    Sad to have heard of his passing.

    How many people of his age, (then 99, I believe), make an impact on anything? I have to admire the man.

    The world we live in when someone gets abused for a difference of opinion and she makes a good point. People have played down covid saying only the old die but then when someone old dies of covid like this legend did they feel differently.
