To want to send DS to school dressed as Aneurin Bevan?

As part of a fund-raiser DS has to go to school as a celebrity. Not any old sleb but one "famous for something that has helped mankind or demonstrated human endeavour and determination". According to the Head,
these types of celebrities or famous people would be suitable:
Louis Pasteur, Marco Polo, Anne Frank, Vincent Van Gogh, Mary Seacole, Marie Curie, Emily Pankhurst, Kelly Holmes, Amy Williams, Beethoven, Johnny Dankworth and President Obama. ..

DS is 4. I suspect this is a pointless exercise but ho hum. I'm quite liking the idea of Nye Bevan but am open to other suggestion.

If DD had been a boy, I really wanted to call her (him?!) Nye. I really, really admire Bevan for what he managed to do.

Maybe your DS could wave a stethescope around while dressed in a 1940s suit?!

Someone on here has had a baby recently called Aneurin.
A regular IIRC.

Yes, it's a fab name and he was an truly amazing man.

Not sure I can get a 40s suit to fit a 4yo. Thought maybe a dirty face (coal dust) and stethescope might work. Plus he had quite luxurious eyebows, I think.
