In reply to an earlier post, Henry Allingham's funeral will be held on the 30th July. He has family in the US - they delay is to allow them time to get to the UK.
I think it is quite fitting that the last three British veterans - who all turned out to the cenotaph for the 90th anniversary of the end of WW1 - all died in the same year.
Although there are officially three WW1 veterans left, in my view there is only one - that being Claude Choules (a British veteran who has lived in Australia since 1926). He is the only validated veteran to have actually seen active service.
