00:06 The most inspirational woman for me would have to be my boss.
00:09 I have just finished work and stuff, but she has helped me develop into the person that I am today.
00:16 So yeah, I don't have a mum unfortunately, she passed away a few years ago, but yeah, I would say she's probably the most inspirational girl.
00:23 My wife, my lovely wife, Glynnis. We have been together now for 55, 56 years.
00:29 We have been married for 51 years. Everything is wonderful. She's a lovely lady.
00:36 Because she always had good morals and high standards and just brought me up to be a nice person I am.
00:45 My mum. My mum, she's my queen. She's everything for me. Very hard lady. She always works very hard to achieve everything she's got, so she's my queen. My inspiration, I think.
00:58 We do a lot of things together, like the market, car boots, you know, because I'm semi-retired.
01:06 So we do a lot of things together and I don't know really, we just have a lot of the same interests.
01:15 My mum. My late mum, because she overcame such adversities in my life and never forgot to look after the children.
01:24 Always made sure the children were in good health.
01:28 My mum inspires me because after my dad died she really took stock of her life and she's really independent and she goes out a lot.
01:37 And she has chronic back pain but she carries on with everything. So yeah, I'd say my mum really.
01:42 She's always been there for me.
01:46 Her first flight was in an Avro Lancaster at the end of the Second World War. That was her very first flight in an aeroplane.
01:56 Because she was a cook for the RAF and after the war they took the ground crew and especially the ladies that served them the food for a fly around in their aeroplanes.
