Byron Bartlett comes from Dumfries in Scotland. On the plinth he is going to talk about autism. His 16 year old son is autistic and he wants people to be aware of the work of the National Autistic Society. He is wearing a t-shirt from the Autistic Society. He wants to celebrate James' existence by planting some Scotch pine seeds from Scotland. These will be taken home and nurtured by James and then given to parks in Scotland. The second thing he is going to do is talk about his anger towards people who want to extradite Gary McLinon to the USA. Gary McLinon, some years ago, hacked into America's defence system. He is autistic and was not aware that his actions would cause these repercussions. He wants him to stay in the UK.
