Thank you for posting this video of Sir Patrick Moore. He is sadly missed in the Astronomy circles. They don't make them like him anymore and he was very intelligent. I share his views on life outside of our planet as well.
I spent a morning there with my wife. I am not 'Into' astronomy but Patrick invited us to Farthings for a few hours. Genuine privilege just to sit and chat. Very in Awe of him at that moment.
That would be £435 in todays money. Doubt he had that kind of money aged 10. What the reporter said is probably correct, 7 shillings in 1933 would be around £20 today.
I remember him as an absolute legend when I was 8 in 1968 and piqued my interest in learning, opening up the world of education and the wonderful possibilities of life!

A true national treasure, and the man responsible for my interest in astronomy. Very much missed.
A legend
Would loved to have met him legend what a great man 👍🙂
A Brit we can all be totally proud of! I have nothing but utter respect for that wonderful man!
An amazing man
Does he play the xylophone?
He did. He died in 2012.
the legend
I think the lady meant he paid £7 and 10 shillings for his telescope aged 10
That was a lot of money back in the day

@@Eis_Bear he said £7.10s in all his books(I have most of them).
@@geoffreyevans1549 Well, then he was a rich kid.
Was he gay?
No, I don't believe so. Sadly the lady he loved was killed during World War II.
