His wife has also shown unbelievable strength and dignity...
Absolutely agreed. The eulogy to her husband on College Green is one of the bravest, most loving and heartfelt speeches it is my privilege to have ever heard, let alone from a grieving widow. Staff Sergeant Schmid was undoubtedly a Lion, but one who was married to Lioness. The Beeb should present her with a copy of her piece, it might help sustain her in her grief.
