that's lovely xx

I don't understand twitter. Can just see a whole load of snippets of conversation.

Love this. Thank you for sharing

I don't get what would make you cry, tbh.

Sorry but...it seems a vaguely interesting snippet about a woman who was a fairly fast runner and ran quickly across the bridge.

I don’t really understand what’s inspirational about it or worthy of a cry.

Am I massively missing the point or just dead inside?

I love that. The bit of film in particular!

@micromanaged i feel the same, ive just had a baby and cry at everything but this...it’s a nice story and all, but...

Didnt movie me, sorry.

Ffs move not movie.

what a Lass...

I was a bit confused as from the photos I thought the lady may have been black or of mixed heritage, and I thought what an achievement that would have been to have been employed in Westminster and been a female athlete etc., between the wars.

But even if I've got that wrong, its still a great story and still an achievement, I love finding things like this.

nope - not me.. dont see it

I thought it was lovely. Made me happy.

Interesting story but I can't see what's inspirational or tear worthy to be honest

Sorry what are we mean to be seeing?

I mean what are we MEANT to be seeing?!

No idea why it made you cry?

I’m not even slightly hormonal but still thought it was lovely. Thanks OP

Lovely story, thank you. Family history is so interesting and it would be great to have such an inspirational story to tell the grandkids.

Not moved to tears but very interesting.

Has anyone else ever done it I wonder?

Boring IMO. If it's nothing to do with me, or anyone I know, I'm not too interested or impressed.

Like these documentaries on ITV about the Menai Straits and Tenby.. and the people of 'the harbour.' I don't give a stuff about the lives of people I don't know or care about.

Same with bloody sob stories on 60 minute makeover, or X factor and so on. They just leave me cold.

Many people have inspirational stories in their family, a hero in the family, someone who suffered, someone who helped many people, someone who achieved good things, and so on an so on... we just don't all crow about it on social media, or use it for attention and sympathy.

Call me what you like. I am as entitled to my opinion as the posters saying it 'moved them to tears.......'
