Nelson Mandela
Status: Eliminated
The idea of choosing between these people from totally different walks of life is ridiculous of course. They are all wonderful in their own way, but if forced to vote it has to be #Mandela for his grace, courage and incredible moral strength. #Icons
I didn't know Mandela was vocal in his support for the Lawrence family. Wow! An inspiring person supporting a uniquely inspirational mother
#icons
Seven incredible #icons in the #BBC2 final, but how can we possibly compare? #NelsonMandela surely has to win though.
RT BBC "RT LondonU: Tune into #Icons on BBCTwo tonight at 9.00pm and help decide who is the greatest icon of the 20th Century. Amongst the nominees is our former student, Nelson Mandela. Voting goes live tonight - make your vote count!
Watching #Icons and just cant get away from the fact that the most iconic person in that list with an affect on my life is #NelsonMandela all great people but he would have to be my choice!
For me the icon of the 20th century is undoubtedly Nelson Mandela. He had everything but most of all he had love and reconciliation. #Icons
Watching #ICONS #TheGreatestPersonof20thCentury I hope #martinLutherKingJr wins and #NelsonMandela comes second
I share the same birthday as #NelsonMandela #icons Truly remarkable man - #forgiveness
Amazing how a man responsible for terrorist attacks against men women and children is held with God like admiration, mandelas targets were white though so the left lap it up... #Icons
Nelson Mandelas resilience inspired the world. He brought together a fractured country, and by the time of his death, was a renowned statesman and global icon. Does he get your vote? #Icons
Surely its not possible for anyone else apart from #NelsonMandela to win #Icons on #bbc2!!!
#Icons unfortunately for Mandela, an undoubtedly great man, his legacy in SA had been diminished by the corruption and economic implosion of that country. Even his greatness and inspirational leadership seems to have been forgotten there.
@BBCTwo #icons. Hes got to be the greatest Icon of the twentieth century! @NelsonMandela
Before I started watching #ICONS on @BBCTwo tonight, I thought the winner should be Nelson Mandela, but now Im not so sure. #NelsonMandela.
#Icons I voted for #NelsonMandela & found it difficult to choose between him & #MartinLutherKingJr Interesting that 3 of the #Icons finalists are black but that there are NO women....? #20thCenturyMensCentury
Nelson Mandela is my winner #Icons
Should Mandela win #icons?
Mandela may just win this #Icons
Watching #Icons. Dont like the idea of one individual winning but has to be Mandela right?!
Watching the 'Icons' live final on BBC Two. Enjoyed watching the show in the last weeks from The Netherlands! My vote would go to Nelson Mandela. #icons
Great speech by Trevor McDonald for Nelson Mandela to be the #Icons
If only the politicians in this country right now had an ounce of what he possessed.
All fantastic contenders on #icons. But its going to be Mandela, dont you think? He had such a huge impact.
#icons
Only 2 worth considering...
#NelsonMandela #MartinLutherKingJr
#Icons It is an ideal for which I hope to live for and to see realised. But, My Lord, if it needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die. "I Am Prepared to Die" by Nelson Mandela on 20 April 1964 from the dock of the defendant at the Rivonia Trial.
Mandela is without doubt the greatest man to have ever graced this earth (apart from Attenborough whos basically god anyway) #Icons
The Stephen Lawrence angle on Nelson Mandela is a bit MEH. It may be important for Britons but in the whole story of Nelson Mandela its a small footnote. His achievements are multitude, I wouldnt focus on this story #icons
Hard not to see #Mandela winning the #Icons of the 20th century. Though, disappointed not to see any women making the final 7...
Mandela speech before judgement for his life gives me goosebumps. What a man he is #Icons
#Icons the other Adovates look like they think they have already lost when an Icon TREVOR MCDONALD is talking so eloquently about his icon NELSON MANDELA who he has actually met and interviewed personally
BBC #Icons take the stage! #bbcicons #livefinal
We are voting for #NelsonMandela
This is why...
#icons Everyone vote @NelsonMandela !!!
#ICONS vote #NelsonMandela NOW
#icons I vote for Mandela.
#Icons #NelsonMandela
The other Adovates look like they think they have already lost when an Icon TREVOR MCDONALD is talking so eloquently about his icon NELSON MANDELA who he has actually met and interviewed personally
However great Mandela was, and he was, his involvement in the murder of innocents in Magoos Bar Durban renders him unworthy #Icons
Mandela at Labour conference, 2000 #icons
Nelson Mandela ALWAYS #Icons
#icons been welling up since it started. We are not worthy. Me personally #NelsonMandela
Can't really choose between these people. But going for Mandela . Nelson Mandela Square Glasgow. #Icons
