    Today an amazing man sadly passed on.

    Not often that I come on here but would like to spread the word and hope find some to take interest in the deeds this man did when needed.
    A truly amazing man who's heroism was never recognised by the general public....Hopefully one day it will be.

    RIP Sir Nicholas.

    This is one person that richly deserves to be called a hero and legend.

    RIP Sir Nicholas, a truly great human being.

    Thank you Stainesy..truely a hero....a man who never spoke about what he did.
    Some one who warrants true respect and love.

    Rest in peace....you will rest in peace as many many other will not.
    If I could be 1% the person you were I would be proud of my life
