  Jen and I met you very late the other night and we promised to write a little something about you after we saw your dancing and you told us about your life.

  Thank you for all your support and enthusiasm - and of course, your wonderful Cornish dancing!!!

  I'm sure your two angels are looking down on you and smiling.

  Hi John,

  Just watched you (early Monday morning now) with plinther "anonymous Mark". What would we do without you! Luckily, we'll never have to worry as you are always there with questions, great comments, kind support and endless enthusiasm for this piece of art.

  Stay warm out there!

  Best,

  Gina

  Hi Captain John

  Thanks for all your support while i was up there doing my hour on the plinth :D it's great to have somebody out there who regularly supports fellow plinthers and knows what it is like.

  It was lovely to speak to you afterwards and hear about your commitment to Diana and Marion.

  Your little blue friend Smurfette

  Hi John,

  I have watched One & Other here and there from N.Y.C. and have seen you on camera so often that I think I, like others, feel like I know you just a bit. I finally got around to searching for your hour after I saw you with Olga last night(and the map making guy). It was not easy to find your hour but it was worth the search & I loved your hour & what you did with it.

  I think you have been wonderfully devoted to this piece of art and to all the folks that have gone up there for their hour in art history. By being there, you become a part of each hours art and you always add something unique and all your own. After last night, when you stood by the plinth for Olga's hour an idea came to my mind. I know you very much like to call yourself the captain but I think you are also something else-something just as special-you might just be the guardian angel of the plinth. Especially when it is last at night and a plinther is all alone. That is when you seem to be there to support whomever is on the plinth and make sure they are not alone.

  I am so used to seeing you there by the foot of the plinth that I think I will miss not seeing you, when all is over.

  I bet others feel the same way. I have a suggestion: You need to start a "Captain John of the plinth fan club". The easiest way to do this is to create a (free) blog. Then we can all keep in touch with you and follow you as you go about life, after the plinth. You could post about Diana, about what the plinth looks like once One & Other ends & about all sorts of other, wonderful things.

  If I lived in your neck of the woods I would come to Trafalgar Square to help you make a blog-it is so easy!(and free-a very good point...) But since I am stuck in N.Y. with no prospect of a nice trip your way any time soon I am going to suggest some of your dear friends at One & other help you out. I think it would be a nice way to keep us world wide plinth supporters and followers connected.

  My very best to you!

  Wow...look how many people you made turn their heads to look at you!

  Fantastic to see someone representing something important to them and brilliant to see someone who is both proud of Britain and has a sense of humour.

  You are seriously magic. I was in a bad mood but you lifted my spirits - my jaw hurt after smiling so much. You are so charismatic that you can only bring good things to anyone that meets you. What a character. On my next visit to the Uk, I hope to see you - as a portrait in the gallery behind where you did this performance.

  All the best John xo

  Hi John, It was great to meet you and reminded me of our visit to Paris just days after the passing of Diana, we saw flowers and letters on the Gold statue just near the tunnel, as we know Di and Marion are both angels to be remembered. X

  Hi John, I'm the invisible man's father. It was lovely to meet you on Monday morning and I was pleased you liked Dan's performance. I've viewed your time on the plinth and you did brilliantly, Marion and Lady Di would have been very proud of you - take care, hope to see you for the finale.

  Hi! Thankyou for your support on Saturday evening!!

  I am going to try and make it for the final day.. does anyone have any plans or is the main idea to just all meet up in Trafalgar square for the final hour?

  It would be great if we could get a group of us to all work on another project after or in the future sometime..
