Fred Dibnah that'll do

[@johnnytheglesgabhoy]

Salt of the earth. You can keep all the so called celeb's, this wee man towered above them all. God rest him.

[@hans3415]

right on !

[@AnonymousEuropeanDriver]

Yeah proper Victorian values. Used to beat his kids and left his wife fuck all in his will, what a guy😂. My mum worked with his daughter.

[@gatorpa2002]

I first saw Fred Dibnah 3 months ago on KZbin and thought… what an amazing human being ….. and then after binge watching everything I could about him, I come to the realization that he is no longer with us… He really lived his life to the fullest! Living in the US didn’t get a lot of BBC shows …sorry I missed his! Thanks for posting this Tribute the song fits like a glove! Very moving !!!!!

[@ronnielaidler9035]

Fred strong as an ox. I am nervous of heights but it has never stopped me, one gets used to the excitement. We salute a man's man. R.I.P Fred.

[@ShevillMathers]

He would indeed be saddened to see what has become of the once Great Britain- God rest his soul. Great Britain was built by men of his calibre, tempered by flame and fire, balls of Sheffield steel. We are in your debt. Greetings from Tasmania Australia-a Leeds Tyke born the same year-I saw the writing on the wall mid 60’s and left the UK to share my skills in a growing country-sadly now also going the same way.😢

[@Happyheart146]

The sweetest thing about Fred, was he always let his wife Alison light the fires on the chimneys he brought down. What a lovely man.

[@dougwoolner450]

The world is SO shallow now, Fred a true british icon, not many of his breed left sadly, it puzzles me how someone dislikes this, R.I.P Fred I for one miss you.

in some cases Fred got a job of restoring a steam engine back to working order something he loved doing.

[@ianbrennan840]

A national treasure.. UK should be proud Fred.. My Grandfather who owned a steam engine allways made the trip from Ireland to meet up with Fred at the shows allways spoke of The man who climbed chimneys Fred Dibnagh rip from Ireland

[@eliotreader8220]

My Mum is from Northern England as far as I can understand. my Grandma told me about seeing Fred go by on his steam roller with his living van behind going to some steam rally. I Met Shelia some years back at the Great Dorset steam rally. a very kind lady

What a man. RIP Fred, I've admired you all my life. I'm 60 now and you're still the only real superman I've seen in my entire life.

Fred was everything a northener should be, hard working, straight talking, and a gentleman. The salt of the earth, God bless him.

I loved his videos - such a true "gent" and an English gent. Great sense of humour and lovely giggle ! A real loss - they don't make them like this any more !!!

Fred a true British icon, and should never be forgotten, it was because people like Fred that made Britain great all them years ago, and now so many like Fred dead Britain isn't so great anymore, RIP Fred

[@danhillman4523]

Being an American guy that visited Bolton and worked there for a few weeks, I can say that while Fred may have had no equal in his trade, he had a few equals in his attitude. Great town that was in 1982. Wonderful people there. But, Fred was a gem.

[@tomhenkel2311]

He was the most interesting man on the planet! Nerves of steel. From across the pond.

It's so sad 😞 that ones trending his grave nowadays his house 🏠 has been cleaned out there are some small things left I'm sorry to say one of the greatest working men of the age has been forgotten 😢 he must be spinning in his grave 😢 god bless him I'll remember him always

Met Fred once at a steam rally here in Cheshire i visited, we had a long conversation about one of his other not so well known interests Victorian firearms especially sporting guns. A subject that he was also very knowledgeable in. Yes he is gone though he will never be forgotten.

Hugely moving and hugely unexpected. I mean. Peter Gabriel, the one who used to sing weird, intellectual lyrics like "Take a little trip back with Father Tiresias" singing this simple, touching song while being accompanied by a brass band. Who'd've thought it? And yes, Fred Dibnah was a national treasure, a symbol of all the practical, working class men of my childhood that arrogant, poncey college boys like me thought we were better than.
