Have just won a pub quiz with Simon Weston

Ian, you never fail to amaze me!:)

Yes, a genuinely nice bloke. Still running a couple of charities. He’d been drinking with his mate in Cardiff local and looked at a bit of a loose end. Had to say hello and one thing led to another. Never realised the Welsh Guards had been put back onto the Sir Galahad after a long march. Fascinating evening and got to buy him a few drinks.

I was lucky enough to meet him at Newmarket when he attended a meeting with my work. I sat at the dinner table with him and he gave me a signed book “Weston Spirit”

I remember two,I think,television documentaries that showed him recovering from his injuries,and being so impressed by his courage.It must have been getting on for thirty years ago,but to this day I can recall him crying in agony when the dressings on his burns were changed.
What a privilege to meet him.Is he still running his charity ?
