Chuffed with this, as JohnnyD is the expert usually.
Still don't know who the first person is, so presume it is someone called Walker, as I finally figured it out when I got the last person as being Graham Kerr, the Galloping Gourmet. - knew he was a 1970s TV chef, but could not bring his name to mind until I was talking to my wife about it and Galloping Gourmet popped into my head.
So Question 19, the connection is horse's gaits:-
Walk(er)
Trot(ter)
Canter(bury)
Gallop(ing)
