Sir Nicholas Winton died July 1st 2015, aged 106. He was the man who saved 669 children, mostly Jewish, by organisation their travel by train from Prague and stays with families in England.
He lived in Maidenhead, Berkshire. That is where you can see a depiction of him as if he were sitting on a bench on platform three.
Where else can you see a monument to him? Already there is another which he saw in his lifetime, on Prague\s main station in the Czech Republic. This statue shows him standing, carrying a child.
Photos taken show him returning to the statue and meeting some of those he rescued.
