Fred Dibnah that'll do

[doug3159]

I never had the HONOUR of meeting Fred a sad loss they just do not make them like that anymore.One of the few reasons to be proud to be British.The 1 dislike needs to give their head a shake

[Tashyboy15]

Fred was everything a northener should be, hard working, straight talking, and a gentleman. The salt of the earth, God bless him.

[Watsupwiya]

Bang on !

[mattc17933]

Sadly, asn't introduced to Fred's world till some years after his death. I'm glad in the films that I was able to meet a small part of a larger-than0life character. A true hero to steam engine buffs and preservationists like myself.

[grubio1970]

@MyTinyCock And no doubt, you won't say where you heard it. Hide behind anonimity, easy, isn't it? You hide your identity but lessen a dead mans reputation for fun.

You are one of those undisputed heavy-weight world champion turds.

[808Sumner]

I knew him well. Nobody you have ever heard of sucked up to celebrity the wat Dibnah did. He was a twat.

[Watsupwiya]

Follow that ?

[divydavis123]

I would have liked to have met Fred he was quite remarkable,and a great character.

[walshy2866]

Proper honest Northerner!

[forkielifter]

he was just a man........:-))))..like a lot of us humans,never forget that,we are all divine,dont let his "celebrity" status cloud your judgement:-)))) ...R.I.P fred

[19HurdyGurdyMan46]

Thanks for this, brought tears to my eyes.He was one of my heros.Salt of the earth.Reminds me totally of my father.There would of been one hell of a lot of people crying when he died.

[johnnytheglesgabhoy]

Salt of the earth. You can keep all the so called celeb's, this wee man towered above them all. God rest him.

[colliecandle]

Love Fred! Have you been to the Fred Dibnah Heritage Centre in Bolton at Fred's old house?

[Fwbs]

[TheSteiner48]

Would have loved to have met the man, it would have been an honour, one of Britains finest, from another Scot.

[merklereenactment]

[throthelens]

Last of the true Brits

[Northernspotter101]

Abit of a tight bastard but a true british eccentric.

sadly missed RIP.From dave in liverpool

[fivecutter]

@Northernspotter101

So you knew Mr Dibnah then sir?

The man who gave pleasure to all of us was "a bit of a tight bastard".

Shame on you.

[ozzirt]

The word is NOT "tight" it is "careful".

[scaffarobbo]

Should`ve been buried in westminster abbey , an absolute icon and treasure . Still missed five years on , RIP Fred .

[winchurch6666]

he was born in the right century .. if it was not for fread lots of the young people of today would not have give a stuff about the steam engine but after seeing fred talk about the workings of engines pullies and gears now have more respect for the past.. he was the right man for the job in hand learning the stupid folk of today understand the meaning of steam

rip fred always in our hearts and our work

[MR7526]

@winchurch6666 I'm 17 and I volunteer on a preserved railway, which I probably would have done if Fred wasn't an influence, but Fred probably accelerated my interest in steam and railways in particular.

[gekiryudojo]

Born in the wrong century a proper good Bloke RIP Fred, we love you still your unforgettable.

Rest in peace Fred

From an Irish fan

[reidsteam]

I live in the stupid, good, US of A. I did not know of Fred two years ago. Fred, who????, I asked my forum mates at UMAOSF. They set me right.  I have just viewed a tribute to do the angels proud. Perfect song, fantastic pictures. We love you for this, around the world, forever.

Reid, in Miami

Great post !!!! its now in my fav's

A great tribute with a great song to an inspirational man ! As a scotsman i think Fred was a great Brit !!!

[taupinb]

Really touching , I watched almost riveted to every image, (no pun intended) Has he really been dead four years. He was a GREAT Englishman, and at this moment I cant think of anyone else I could say that of, who is still living.
