He has climbed Everest and trudged across the Antarctic and has seen things you and I may only dream of. But Britishsuperhero Sir Ranulph Fiennes still likes to stroll around Windsor and enjoy taking in the place where it all started for him

SIR RANULPH “We are all in this together”

During 2020 Sir Ranulph is touring Britain appearing at many of our great theatres with his Living Dangerously presentation, for which tickets have been selling fast. Yet, wherever he has wandered – and there are not many places where he has not wandered – he reveals that he likes nothing better than telling people that he is from Windsor.

“What an amazing address,” he said. “Windsor is well-known all over the world so it is always with great pride that I tell people I am orginally from Windsor. Not only is it my birthplace but I actually went to school nearby at a little place called Eton. A lot happened in between, of course. My father died four months before I was born so we never met but we have quite a family history and I was able to learn much about him and our ancestors going back hundreds of years.
