BBC Points West are running a vote for a local hero.
The five finalists are:
- David Hempleman-Adams (explorer)
- William Henry Fox Talbot (created the first ever photographic negative) - John James (philanthropist)
- Frank Whittle (invented the jet engine)
- Michael Eavis (founder & organiser of the world's greatest festival - Glastonbury)
As this is written, Frank Whittle is in the lead. But we're fairly sure that most people from this website will have an alternative . Checks have been made with Points West that they won't be upset when Michael wins the vote ... so let's make sure he does, eh?
