[arista]

Good Choice Underscore

[Oliver_W]

Bowie, Thatcher, or Austin.

[Ammi]

...some great possibilities ..:lovedup:...but I’m going to go with more modern time to incorporate all current generations, which I think would be quite appropriate...in no particular order etc but from top to bottom...

..Princess Diana...I don’t want perfect Royal Ambassadors, I want human Royal Ambassadors with great humanity also...:love:...

...Stephen Hawking...the incredible strength of his mind defying the weakness of his body...hugely inspirational..:love:...

...David Bowie...not just because of his obvious incredible talent and contribution to music...but because of his inspiration in helping a generation of people to express their sexuality and show them that they ‘were not alone’...especially with bisexuals...:love:...


...Bruce Forsyth...devoted his whole life to light entertainment in this country and created smiles and lightness for so many people ...who possibly didn’t have many smiles or much lightness in their lives...:love:...

[Ammi]

...the shade of Maggie Smith, though...
