I always feel a bitter sweet feeling about this. I wonder how many years of his life he wasn’t treated with dignity and respect by those who didn’t know him. Then he’s (quite rightly) a national treasure and a hero, but should’ve been considered as such many years earlier! Rest in Peace I'm not so sure his younger life was that wholesome.
