My gran was and will always be the most amazing woman I've ever been lucky enough to know.

My dad despite his shortcomings was my hero. I'm glad I got to tell him that in the end.

My 3 sons inspire me every day.

My grandad.

Worked hard and was still getting up at 5am 5 days a week to milk until he was 68. Was also cycling 6-8 miles every day until he was 89. Taught me to drive on a tractor. Taught me how to look after animals. Taught me manners cost nothing but are priceless.

He was a King

John

Stepping up for his 2 and 3 year old boys (now 14 and 15) when they were in a dangerous and unsuitable environment, taking on the role of mum and dad with no thought or regard for himself and doing a great job.

My Dad

Nearly 70 n still working a 50/60 hour week so he can provide for and have something to leave his family

Have to agree with ALEXANDDOLL on Ernesto 'Che' Guevara Lynch de la Serna...

...but let's not forget Scotland's own street-fighting hero. A man who fought and died standing up for ordinary people - John McLean.

James Deen, he has a great way with the ladies.

Don't confuse him with James Dean who is a completely different actor.

Never forgotten. Wherever he is, he's dancing with Mary Barbour.

I knew Alistair. A great guy and a great loss. His song "Don't Sign Up For War" tells the story of John McLean's protest against WW1 and his imprisonment at the hands of "British Justice". The story of John McLean should be part of the school curriculum. A great Scottish hero.

I always found Gromit to be more inspiring than Wallace.

My dad inspires me and there is a friend of mine who is inspirational. I find more inspiration from those around me who's story I know and have seen than the stories that have been told.

Lol@The Wallace and Gromit thing... I don't think the content of your inspiration matters... Only that you are inspired and strive to be better
