At the 2007 Channel 4 Political Awards he was voted Most Inspiring Political Figure.〔(Channel 4 award for Brian Haw ), ''The Daily Telegraph'', 8 February 2007〕

Haw was born in Wanstead Hospital, in Woodford Green, in east London,〔http://100gf.wordpress.com/2011/06/19/obituary-anti-war-protester-brian-haw-dies-aged-62-after-battling-lung-cancer/〕 a twin and the eldest of five.〔 He grew up in neighbouring Barking and in Whitstable, Kent.〔(Telegraph obituary )〕 His father Robert William Haw (1925-1964) served as a sniper in the Reconnaissance Corps in the Second World War, and had been one of the first British soldiers to enter the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. He later worked as a railway clerk,〔 and also worked in a betting office. He committed suicide by gassing himself when Haw was 13.〔 Haw's mother was Iris Marie Haw (née Hall).〔
Haw's family were involved in an evangelical Christian church in Whitstable, which Haw joined when he was aged 11. 〔 Haw was apprenticed to a boat-builder from the age of 16 and then entered the Merchant Navy as a deckhand.〔Anna Pukas, "I'm staying I won't let Blair bully me'", ''The Express'', 11 May 2006.〕 He travelled widely before spending six months at evangelical college in Nottingham, after which he preached world peace.〔 Haw visited Northern Ireland in 1970 during The Troubles, as well as the Killing Fields of Cambodia in 1989.〔
Back in London, he worked as a removals man and as a carpenter. He married his wife Kay in Redbridge in June 1977,〔 and they lived in Redditch with their seven children until he left them in 2001 to begin his Parliament Square protest.〔 The couple divorced in 2003.〔 Haw worked with troubled youngsters in Redditch, Worcestershire.〔
