Congratulations to Alan Turing (R.I.P.), Enigma Code hero of World War II and much more, for being selected as the "greatest person of the 20th century" in the final of the BBC Icons series (inews). Turing (1912-1954) was born in London, but spent the majority of his schooldays living in Upper Maze Hill, St Leonards. A well deserved posthumous award to this incredibly intelligent man, also important in the development of the computer, and who suffered in a time of greater prejudice and intolerance.
