More details

This gentleman is one of only a few of his generation that remain with us,who fought for us in WW2.
Giving us the freedom we have today.
He has raised £8000000 for our front line NHS workers at this terrible chapter in our history.
He is gentle and humble, putting us all to shame. He makes me proud to be British and is a wonderful beacon of warmth and light at this very sad time
