Good question and as a UK citizen looking from the outside I probably don't know enough individuals to put any forward, I believe real heroes tend to be anonymous until their acts are highlighted. The US military and the Police forces tend to get bad press based on the actions of individuals but would it be worth putting the fire service forward? I don't know.
As I say real heroes tend to ba anonymous but the UK has one who stands out head and shoulders above all other nominations Aneurin Bevan founder of the NHS (and he was a Welshman so no Englishmen as far as I can think).

@VSonMe influential but a hero, not sure. Leader of UK forces during the war obviously but other than making decisions on tactics under the guidance of the military leaders and making some great speeches (many of which I enjoy hearing) I don't think he did anything heroic. It tells a story when immediately after the war he was voted out of power.

@GeniUs that wasn't commentary on him. It was something that was stirring anyway.
He was a hero, i think. You minimize his role. He had to make the hard decisions. It was his decision not to evacuate coventry, for example. He inspired the nation and our allies. He deserves his accolades

All about opinions and to me the decision makers are rarely heroes.
