Oh no, how very sad.
I was speaking with my son today and we mentioned how as a very young man during the war he rode a motiorcycle through the jungle in Burma ,with messages I believe ,when he would be in his early twenties.
So much money raised and so inspirational.
There will be some recignition at what is allowed at his funeral but there surely must be something more when possible,surely more.

Loads of tributes pouring in to an inspirational man - Downing Street flags fly at half-mast.

What an amazing final year he had though!

He really looked as though he was enjoying it...

And what a lovely man he was.

I found this very sad news.

He had a loving family who cared for him - how on earth did he get coronvirus?
