Att Galaxy Note 5

So deserving of an award but agree, it should have been a higher one, presented by the Queen. John is one of the most heartwarming sights of Sheffield. Tireless and out in all weathers. Well done John!

Respect due to the man, but imagine if he'd turned it down! now that would've really been something special!

Does anyone on here know John Burkhill personally that could ask him if he wouldn't mind signing a picture I did of him?

That's great! Prints ought to be available in the Millennium Galleries Shop. Why don't you approach them?

Congrat to him thoroughly deserved. If he continues to raise more money then they should award him a higher one. He stands out because of his dedication and he is an ordinary member of the public, which makes fund raising much harder than if you are a celeb.

Agreed. That's fabulous! Love the colours. These would be great as prints all over Sheffield with a donation going to the charity. Perhaps the charity would pay for printing costs and stand to generate much more. The Star could do a piece and they could sell them from the Star offices too. John coud have a few on him when he goes to events and sign them for recommended donation amounts.

john what a top man nothing ever to much trouble,he came to the lowedges festival in 2013 and hes opening our festival this year on sun august 10th in greenhill park,such a humble man,even said to the mayress ladys first when asked to say a few words at 12 noon opening,we both stood back and said no you john you are 1st,he said he would take a walk with the pram and it took him several hours as people wanted to speak to him,even a very old lady came with a jar full of coins for his cause,we of course donated to his cause and he even went to our tenants hall and again it took him a while to leave,due to photos and donaters,top man come along and see him in august he deserves all your thanks as hes the best,thanks john your a true gentleman
