An extraordinarily modest soul. What a hero.

Anyone wanting a true description of the word "Hero" could look no further than this man. In war and peace Cheshire is truly one of the greatest that ever lived. Respect! 👍

Such humble men, casually recounting their superhuman deeds like it was nothing and most importantly, not looking for adulation. It saddens me tremendously that most of these old heroes are now gone 😥

I work for Leonard Cheshire, What an incredible man and life he lead and his wife, a lot of history made still going to this day. Such his name if you’re interested about his work.

Went to see him speak around 1985. He totally mesmerised me in a way no one remotely has either before is since…..!!

He made a point of knowing everybody's name. Guy Gibson was not liked by other ranks - but Cheshire was loved and respected.

What a truly brave and heroic man (although he wouldn't say so) I wish I had had the opportunity to speak with the Baron... God bless you and all those like you!! Thank you for posting this video clip!

Amazing man. Survived many tours in Bomber Command. I chatted to a veteran who was there at Driffield with him in 102 Sqdrn and he revealed one of his survival tips . . . When near the target fly away from the bomber stream and come in at another angle, that way the fighters and flak batteries don't know where you are. Unorthodox, but he lived. Many didn't. And to this day his name lives on, in the Leonard Cheshire care homes.

The greatest British airman imo.

the more I find out about Mr Cheshire, the more I want to learn about his achievements and his and his wife's charitable work. Thanks for sharing. Greetings from Australia.
