You could be in London,Scarborough,Blackpool and suddenly you would spot him and know if you wave at him and he waves back it's said to be lucky!!! So sad that all our real characters have passed away!! Like old Anna!! RIP both!

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.

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 ,,

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

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.

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
