What a fantastic individual. If you don't know the story, turn onto BBC Breakfast Television. Basically it is one man's tribute to ten American airmen who deliberately avoided him and his friends who were playing in a park in Sheffield 75 years ago today. The stricken plane crashed into the trees killing all ten on board. He has attended their memorial every day since because of the guilt he feels because he thought that they were waving at him but instead they were telling him and his friends to get out of the way. This is only a basic resume of the story.

What makes me so angry is that some of today's 'snowflake' generation besmirch the memory of men such as these who gave their lives so that they can live the soft lives that they do. They should hang their heads in shame.

Many can't as they don't have any shame.

A great story and well done Dan Walker for prompting it.
I enjoy BBC Breakfast TV with all bar Charlie Stait and the screeching Naga. I have to admit I have been known to transfer to Piers Morgan when the aforementioned are on together !
