Many buses carry the name of a famous person who made their home in Brighton.

One famous name I have not yet spotted is that of Godfrey Winn, journalist, novelist and television personality who lived at Mill House in Falmer village from 1950 until his death in 1971.

Godfrey was a leading columnist for the Daily Mirror from 1936 to 1938 and then for the Sunday Express from 1939 to 1942.

He was the first British war correspondent to cross the Maginot Line.

Known as the author of 27 books, including five novels, seven books about the war and six biographies, his greatest fame came as the host of two television programmes.

The first was Godfrey Winn Speaking Personally in which he took the role of Agony Uncle, dealing sympathetically with the flood of letters from viewers seeking advice for their personal problems.

The other programme was Birthday Honours and each week Godfrey talked to celebrities whose birthdays fell in the week the programme was screened. I look forward to the arrival of a Godfrey Winn bus.
