What a lovely story, it's nice to hear some good news for a change.

Wonderful coverage for a wonderful man, I was moved to tears when he said his ashes are going on/in the memorial.

The lifetime of guilt he has felt towards those airmen and his attention to the memorial is astounding.

I was the same here Diggingdoris. What a remarkable man Tony is to have tended that memorial every day as a thankyou to those young men who'd saved the lives of dozens that day.
3 cheers to the BBC for arranging such a display and lasting memory for Tony.

I've just watched the tv coverage of the memorial flypast in Sheffield. I found it profoundly moving for several reasons. Tony Gould has been tending the memorial stone daily since it was laid and this was his dream come true and to meet members of the airmen' s families was the icing on the cake for him. The crowd that came to the park to honour both the airmen and Tony' s devotion was amazing. All this from a chance meeting with Dan Walker. Well done to all involved. Not a dry eye in our house!
