Why do you admire them?

If it is a famous person pls post a link so the young folk know who you refer to.  If it is your mom/dad/gramma/grampa, no pic required lol.

Yup cos us young folk dont know anyone over the age of 30.

For me,

Morgan Freeman and Clint Eastwood both of whom I admire because of their integrity and dignity its something so often lacking I think.

Tony Benn, he is amazing and wonderful and its such a shame that we have not got him on the front line of political thinking.

A lady at work, shes 93 and well i cant even explain how great she is and how much I hope that i can live half the life that she has

Colouredin, that's odd, I was thinking of Morgan Freeman and Clint Eastwood too!!! We must be on the same wavelength!
To those I'd also add Willie Nelson.
Funny, I just *knew* if Kitten posted on this her pick would be someone no-one's ever heard of! lol
You know, "ecclectic."
You could take her to the Texas Roadhouse ("Willie's Place") and she'd try to order "chicken marsialles."
Whatever the fuck THAT is!

Absolutely agreed. Cant say I'm a fan of his politics but he's just about the one person from politics that when he speaks, everyone had best shut up and listen.

He will be sorely missed when he goes, and all we are left with is the snivelling little slaves we have in power now and their Tory counterparts due to an electoral system the two of them and their masters just love since it keeps anyone who isnt a snivelling little slave out of it.

I've watched him live his life with pride, dignity, ethics and love and now I'm watching him go through the dying process with the same pride, dignity, ethics and love.
I am a very lucky person.
