Geoffrey Brindley, R.I.P.

I would like to put on record how saddened I was to hear of the passing of the Bradford Jesus Man, Geoffrey Brindley. I was an undergraduate student at the University of Bradford in the mid-1970s and at that point he had already been walking through the streets for more than a decade. Unbelievably, until a week or so ago, in his late eighties, he was still at it; a seemingly permanent feature who one was never surprised to see anywhere across the district.

And now, sadly, he will walk no more.
