    No room for:
    Titus Salt
    David Hockney
    John Godber
    Barbara Hepworth
    Ted Hughes
    Henry Moore

    And that's without thinking about it. Yet Bernard Ingham is on there?!? F. Off whoever came up with that list.

    Of people alive today,what about Sir Gary Verify, for all his work promoting Yorkshire. John Sentamu for.being a.good man who has embraced Yorkshire and it's ways. Sir Michael Parkinson.
    Also, why no greatest Yorkshire Woman?

    Living in walking distance of Saltaire, Sir Titus is a good shout. Have a great book about his son's home just round the corner from me (Titus Jr.). Fantastic and sad story.

    Are you saying your first choice would have been Jimmy Savile, had he been one of the options?

    No women in our list to choose from but pleased to see he included Michael Sadler. As an ex-Holgate Grammar lad it was a name I recognised as one of the school houses was Sadler.
