well said.The patient stranger who helped my father-in-law (dementia) when he got on a train and was stranded, lost and confused.

Thread over. We have a winner!Dolly Parton.
And you'd need to be 68 or older for the last one to be 'in our lifetime' as the subject line prescribes.I picked the first page as its quite an interesting selection of people (excluding newyddion ). It shows how people consider greatness. When I read the title, I thought of greatness in terms of contributions to humanity and life, not as sports people or as musicians.
In my opinon context of how I read the question, the ones in bold I consider great, the rest were just talented in their respective fields.
David Attenborough
Greta Thunberg
Albert Einstein
