Seen this guy interviewed a lot about his role in the Embassy Siege, seemed thoroughly down to earth.

RIP. Responsible for one of the most iconic moments in TV history.

Last of the breed. He blamed Brown for his son's death by not giving the army enough resources. A great shame he was not allowed to share a sound-proof isolation room with The Great Statesman for five minutes

That's a tragic loss to the country. May he rest in peace.

I don't normally reply to RIP threads but I'll make an exception for this one.

I've seen the chap give a few interviews and I always found myself in quiet awe as he didn't look the type but talked it.

I always found myself thinking "The things you must have seen and done".

RIP.

The world is a poorer place for his passing,
If it were not for these guys it would be a sttier place than it is now.
for doing what the other 99.99% of us havent got the courage to do,despite what we like to imagine or believe.
Truly sad.

Too young, should've grown old telling his grandson stories of his escapades.

[Stedman]

Unbelievable. A true hero.
