The oldest fundraiser in town

It's not the sharpest of pictures but I wanted to show you one of the most iconic people of Edinburgh. This is Tom Gilzean, who collects money for charities, every day, be it rain or snow or wind, he goes up and down Royal Mile on his wheelchair, singing, chatting up women and having a banter with anyone who stops to talk to him. He is 94 years old. He collected well over 100 000 pounds in 5 years (link above). A truly amazing person.
