i remember seeing him in thorpe edge in the early sixties, we used to play football in farmhill road sometimes the local beat bobby would take his jacket off and join in, i live in Jersey now have done for forty years , as they say over here Temps Passe

Great Video. Dearly missed. RIP.

He must have waved at every single person over time, he would wave as if he remembered each and everyone, I was a small child when I first saw him, I’m a lot older now and still every now and then I would see him and to me he never looked any older ,,

Early one morning, in the the late 70's, I walked past him in James Gate, Bradford, then less than an hour later, I saw him again at the top of Baildon, I couldn't work out how he got there so quick on foot. Weird... I had driven to Baildon btw.

I think I remember seeing him as a small child in the early 80s. Was a little afraid if him at the time.

I grew up in Bradford in the 1960’s and 70’s and then moved to London. I remember Geoffrey. He could pop up anywhere, but my main memories are of him walking along Rooley Lane close to the West Bowling Golf Course Club House. I have often wondered what happened to him. Thrilled to have stumbled across this video and all the very lovely (and well earned) tributes to him.

Geoffrey had a lot of mental problems. For the most part he was harmless, but he assaulted my small niece by slapping her in the face for no reason as he walked past her. She was only five. Years later I was on a train to Skipton and he was in a dreadful state. Poor fellow was shaking like a leaf. Only a few months later I heard he had passed away. RIP

I remember him but I was told his name was Peter. I think some people called him Saint Peter.

Lovely guy known him since 88 when I was 6

I used to call him the Hermit. Part of my childhood.

Saw him walking all over Bradford from early days. Everyone knew him
