Let us hope he has a full military funeral. I am sure he deserves one after keeping us going last year.

So good that his family was allowed to be with him at the end. May his gentle soul rest in peace

A hundred year old man died after a long and it seems a very interesting life. Ironic it was covid, but I find it hard to feel any emotional reaction. Nice he got his knighthood and honorary promotion. I will keep my sadness for the young lives lost, the front line workers, and those I know.

[Zacs-Master]

Very sad he didn't live to see us come through it all.

[grumpy01]

Sad indeed but no more sad than the 100,000 who have already died.Especially Medical personnel and all the sitting ducks in nursing homes.

[chrissa1]

RIP. So sad.

[Sqad]

An icon of a forgotten and much maligned generation, gratuitously exploited by an avaricious media.

grumpy some of those sitting ducks, should now have had their vaccinations surely.
