I tell you something, Si, if you did run for the monster raving looney party, I'd vote for you, if i lived in the UK! r.i.p Dave . I still think the hairy bikers rock .

watching this with a frog in my throat and a tear in my eye, wow what a lovely, moving day, this was absolutely beautiful. Each and every one of you stood up and rode for Dave.

People aay nothing ever happens in this country, WELL look at this, you left wingers, they will have had the union flag with them aswell.

❤

It’s in my blood! Even more proud after Dave Day.

Winnie Wallace....What a wonderful way to celebrate the life of Dave, laughter, banter and even a deaf language interpreter..Adios Dave ,my friend, even though I never met you.

Not dry eye in the house ❤

<3 Love. that's all I can say.

Thanks for posting this. What a great day, for a great bloke.

lets make this an annual event what say you dave

Beautifully said & well captured - Great work all!

What an excellent speech by Liliana, straight from the hart, no script or reading from an auto cue, no hesitation or gaps and all in a language that isn’t her 1st.

Thanks John.. nicely shot video... glad to see the crowd too

It’s like a magnet it took me 22 years to break out

I am from North Cumbria I really loved Barrow. I had the pleasure of living and working there. Aye Roan Head just beautiful

Barrow is fab been there many times. I would I be very proud to live in the town that produced Emlyn Hughes. ( Nickname "Crazy Horse " after a rugby tackle on Newcastle United winger Albert Bennett.). The feeling of History you get in Barrow from a town is only matched by Merthyr Tydfil and Glasgow. (I been every where man). Love your library to. Maybe some time the towns that really did make Britain great will be treated fairly and not ripped off blind by you know who.

Shame most of this is in a no fly zone

Honest and true? OK

Magnificent..

Lovely.

Wow love this!

Class John.

I was born in Barrow, left when I was nearly 13, most of my family still lives there. I sometimes wonder how my life would have been if my dad hadnt taken me to Canada...

This beautiful poem has moved me to tears I was born and raised in Barra I sadly moved in the early 90’s as per maggies cuts and slow close down of the shipyard to the midlands this poem evokes all the emotions and memories of my childhood my working class family from hindpool and of course the amazing people of barra beautiful gorgeous people had working highly skilled people intelligent switched on people and more importantly the most funniest people I have ever met in my life love the barra people their kindest and humour a barrovian through and through they need more barrovians in this world it would be a better place amen 😊

Lets hope we have more events like this

Who would have thought typing in my home town on you tube id not only come across this channel but we also share same surnane 😂 great song as the poem was liked and subbed

Brilliant

Had to explain to my wife, “Yes, RonEd is the same as Roanhead”. 👍

My home town left it 18 months ago as its in a massive decline offers nothing much nowadays unfortunately

Proud to be Barrovian 💪❤️

I'll be home soon.

I've no words..... Apart from this needs shared with the nation! Really emotive words.... I'm not from Barrow but worked there for many years and made some strong friendships. Many thanks for sharing this. 'One man's junk is another man's treasure'......

Nice work that lad!

Just heard this for the first time, it's brilliant! Absolutely top notch stuff! I'll be sharing this with everyone I know. Thank you.

I've been to Barrow in furness, and most of the shops are shut, Some streets are very untidy and some lawns need to be cut. The town center is in need of development, as vandals smash the shops, You could report these young thugs, that's if you can find any cops!. But the people I met in Barrow, we're warm and lovely folk, Very strong minded individuals, their spirit will not be broke, For a moment, the Abbey has many secrets, waiting to be told, Please visit this unique setting, before you get too old. I came up from london, where people don't speak to you, But the real folk from Barrow, are honest, loving, and true. God bless Barrow in furness.

Top Notch John, cracking song.❤

Another belter John 👊🏻

Well done that man! Great work mate 🙌🏻

HYPED

Brilliant 💙

This is a truly excellent poem, extremely well read. It’s wonderful when anyone feels that way about their home town, however others may think about it. Only those who live in a place know how it is. These two poets should keep writing.

Rose tinted glasses

Great video..excellent poetry and shown amazing views from the top

Whats the monument at 3:07?

the local economy has been destroyed by high house prices and 2nd home speculators. so in a way, the older generation are starting to reap the utter misery they have sown.

Nice poem

Incredible

I was born in Vickerstown early '40s a magical place to grow up.Left Barrow 1965 but mentally stayed there.It's hard to describe but there is no place like it

Barrow lad born and bread, not the greatest upbringing, but it gave me determination to do something, I have traveled the world, seen things only people dream of, no longer live in Barrow but I am very proud of it, yes, people are salt of the earth who live there, honest as the day breaks, no frills, just real people and friendly with it, there are many beautiful areas as mentioned and also as mentioned, don't listen to the media or it's spin.... and the past and current industrial history is something to be proud of, continue to visit Barrow and proud to be a 'Barrovian' , will always come back, proud and will also be proud until the day my life ends....Thanks for posting...well done all who made this video happen....
