    Has won an award on the pride of Britain. 92 years old and she has raised nearly £100,000 for charity. One word AWESOME. A credit to our fair city.

    What a magnificent lady. I have to be honest and say I have never seen her, but heard about her.

    A hive of activity even at her age.

    Shames celebrities like Ruby Wax and Sting.

    To be honest, some of you should make a bee-line for Amber Nectar, if that's the level of your humour.....

    After last night, she's now raised over £100k.

    Most impressive, she was funny too, she really reminded me of my grandma(RIP).

    When they sent her round the celebrity ridden audience with her collection bucket to try and get her the extra 9k she needed to take her to 100k raised overall i swear Ed Miliband put a ****ing coin in the bucket.

    Weldone Jean Bishop. Great that you could reach £100K for your charity.

    I didn't watch that programme as i was at Miles Kane at Hull Uni last night. I gathered from the HDM, Jean had a lot of publicity last night.

    Don't be ridiculous, Geraghty and his cronies wouldn't celebrate Hull's top team being in the top domestic league in the UK playing the worlds most watched sport would they?
