A fact from Mark Addy (oarsman) appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 29 August 2008, and was viewed approximately 698 times (disclaimer) (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the Albert Medal was one of the awards given to Mark Addy for rescuing more than 50 people from the highly polluted River Irwell, Manchester, in the 19th Century?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2008/August.

References

I'm a bit confused about where the information in this article originates, as a few items in it (dates of awards, who presented them etc.) conflict with the references I found in the Bracegirdle book. As there were no actual references given I've just changesd them, but I wonder, does the information actually came from the book listed under Further Reading? If so, something needs to be said about the different information found. I have to say, the bit about the Albert medal being presented by the Mayor of Salford seems correct as there is an account of the speech he made at the time, but I wonder if Queen Victoria played some other part - or was the award just made in her name?
