Glsammy has become the first member of Wild About Britain to reach 10,000 posts and become the first 'Knight Grand Cross of the Wild Empire'. 
The highest order of chivalry, it demonstrates the outstanding commitment that Graham has made to this website. In fact, if we included points for his prolific work behind the scenes in editing and commenting in the gallery, as well as moderating the forum and also helping out other members off the site, from camera tips to fixing their PCs, he'd be well on his way to adding another zero to the 10,000 posts.
It's an incredible acheivement by an incredible member, who is second to none in his outstanding contribution to Wild About Britain.
Congratulations Graham and many thanks for the amazing amount of work that you've put into the site. I've said it before and I'll say it again, WAB literally wouldn't be a fraction of the website that it is today if it wasn't for the enormous amount of help that you've put in over the years.
Thanks for everything, it really couldn't have happened to a nicer guy and I think that everyone would agree that we all feel very privileged to have found such a great friend on WAB.
Cheers
Stu

Who is this? Does he visit the site often 
Congratulations Graham on such an achievement. I always wonder how you have the time to do anything else ... but then what else is there to do
Always a pleasure to read your posts, admire your images and even better ... to have seen you in person. A great guy

Wow, some achievement 
I really enjoy your pics and posts, here's to the next 10,000 x
Actually I'm almost sure David Attenborough has deliberately set his new series to co-incide with your new status :-D

An outstanding achievement by an outstanding contributor.
Graham, I wholeheartedly endorse the very well deserved praise and tributes already made.
I think you know I'm not one for ranks and titles but to me you truly are Mr WAB.
With grateful thanks for all your help and patience during my 18 months of membership.

I can't add anything to what Stu has already said apart from what a thoroughly nice chap Graham is.
Congrats mate and keep up the sterling work. WAB wouldn't be WAB without you.
