Hum. I accept that each person on Barry's list has merits to be recognised in one field or another, but........heroes? No way. A hero put his or her life on the line for others, some on a daily basis, and some voluntarily. This list is not about heroism at all, it's about turning people into icons - and that
can be said
of those on this list. Not popular, but possibly iconic.
The use of the term 'heroes' in this instance actually cheapens those who really are heroes - those in our Armed Forces, Lifeboatmen, Police Officers, Firefighters and Paramedics.
