What an inspirational and honest man he was !. . . Oh how we need people like him now talking peace and common sense ! RIP Sir !
A giant of man. They don't make them like him anymore. RIP sir
What a magnificent Man, a true hero for any age.
I have known this man's name and face since the age of 5!
I attended a private school, Tunstall School in Sunderland, England whose headmaster was Mr. George Cheshire. He I believe was an uncle of Leonard Cheshire and in the assembly area of the school was a photograph, or perhaps a portrait painting of Leonard Cheshire VC in RAF uniform - obviously a much younger Leonard than seen here.
We schoolkids were occasionally handed small model homely country cottages made of plastic, which were moneyboxes. These we would take home and when they were filled with pennies, collected from parents and anyone else we might approach, we would return them. They were collections for the Cheshire Homes of course.
Seeing, for the first time, Leonard Cheshire VC in his older years here, I can immediately see a close facial resemblance to the headmaster those many years ago!
I have read that the Catholic church is setting in motion the process of canonisation which means he may in fact become a Saint.
Quite a remarkable life indeed!
Beautiful man, decent, humble and brave. God bless his soul, a Great British citizen.
I could listen and learn from this man every day.
Utmost respect for this wonderful man.
What an inspirational man
One of the most over used words in todays society is legend, not in this case, an absolute legend of a man
Agree 100% with your comment... what a truly brave and heroic man!
My Aunty lived her later years in one of his Cheshire Homes, an absolutely amazing place, what a man, not all heroes wear capes
Without doubt one of greatest men of the 20th Century, in my humble opinion.
What a truly brave and heroic man (although he would no doubt disagree) one of Britain's greatest men! Even after the WWII this man gave the rest of his life helping disabled people by doing everything that was needed to help them. I would give the use of my legs to have personally know this man... he's my greatest hero... truly! The help this man gave to Britain and the disabled make my heart swell with pride for what this man did for Britain and its people... an absolute hero in every sense of the word!
Very inspirational, full of wisdom. This is a legend
What a man.
A great man, he gives a better analysis of how to work with people who need help than any I have heard before.
I have just been reading Mr Cheshire's biography. What a remarkable man he is. I didn't know about the Homes he and his wife established. wonderful work. Thanks for sharing this interview. Greetings from Australia.
Solid human being.
A remarkable, powerful individual and inspirational leader, in peace as he was in war. I'm so glad he survived and realised the potential of this selfless vocation. May he be recognised and remembered for years to come.
That's a real hero, not a football one!
I have just re3ad about this man in The Dambusters by Paul Brickhill. That's what led me to seek him out on youtube.My friends dad was also in the Dambusters squadron and worked with Leonard Cheshire after the war. Wonderful interview and inspirational man. Geoff from Adelaide South Australia.
He had one of these places in a place called Ampthill Bedfordshire, the actual house is still there now( although its no longer a Cheshire home) its set in the most beautiful countryside...looking out that window i wonder if he's talking from it...Amazing to look at a man who's eyes once looked down on a Burning City. Such a wise humble man.
Now Covid 19 has hit this world we need wisdom from men like this, instead of the insane, selfish, greedy, stupid people with no real life experience running the world today.
My uncle flew under him with 617 squadron and my auntie looked after simon.
Went to hear him speak around 1985. The only person who has ever mesmerised me. I believed I would have followed him anywhere………..
I recently read an article with a 617 Sqn pilot who said Cheshire was "like Jesus". With what Leonard did after the war with his wife Sue Ryder, he wasn't far off the mark.
On my passing out parade in RAF Swinderby in 1974 I was 16 he walked passed me looked me up and down we didn’t speak he was in civvies with a Trilby hat and he had is Victoria Cross on is suit jacket. We had a Vulcan bomber fly over I’ve still got is photos at home I remember my Dad telling me about him being an eye witness do the dropping the A-Bonb on Nagasaki in Japan he was picked by Churchill and another English man in a spotter plane to witness it by the American bomber. I’m 64 now my Dad was a flight sergeant in upper heyford in Oxfordshire we have a Cheshire home near carmarthen in South Wales I live in Llanelli there’s a few bungalows built in Llanelli thanks to Leonard Group Captain my Dad was on the Palace steps in Khartoum where General Gordon was killed and met Royalty by the pyramids in Egypt and drank fin the white or blue Nile and was ill my dad was born in Kidwelly South Wales in 1908 he died on September 14th 1979 he joined up a very young man done 30 years.

Most definitely, the individuals.
Assuming the thumb downs were accidental !
🙏🙏🙏
Pragmatic Optomist, his life should be a GCSE Subject
A truly great man, from war to peace. It saddens me, that he credits religion for his accomplishments. The fact is, he did all the work, had the kind heart, had it all, within him.
He truly is a hero. Truly deserved an extra life, to continue his work.
I am wryly amused that he refers to the welfare state, as though it is a communist evil, when his whole ethos was pure democratic socialism. But that is the shadow of religion, influencing the most kind and ethically, socialist, man.
If only there had been a million such men, who had the heart to change our expectations and our lives, for a compassionate society.
Do you watch videos of Jim Nduruchi 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
Ask him about guy gibson
This hero (Baron Geoffrey Leonard Cheshire) passed away on 31 July 1992 (aged 74) making any questions about Guy Gibson impossible. However in my humble opinion, Baron Geoffrey Leonard Cheshire is absolutely everything and more than Guy Gibson ever was. God bless them all!
@@tagg976 guy gibson was shot down over holland by friendly fire..accident? Who knows he had some stuff on Cheshire? Cheshire was part of the Manhatten project....
@@WELLBRAN Regardless of where Guy Gibson was shot down (Hero that he was) Baron Leonard Cheshire VC, OM, DSO & Two Bars, DFC deserved a solid slap on the back for his heroism and bravery he showed during WWII
