I don't think he's idolised in the UK.

Indeed Churchill made at least one disparaging remark about him in
parliament during the war.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.
