My hero

This 109 year old Brit Vet is my hero:
The last survivor of the Battle of Jutland said: "By coming here, you recall things you want to forget.

"But I do the best I can and I come here to pay homage to these brave men.

"We owe so much to these men who gave all they could have given on my behalf and everyone's behalf. It is so important that we acknowledge them."

Mr Allingham was accompanied by 12 trainee aircraft engineers from RAF Cosford, near Wolverhampton.

He wished them success in their careers, adding: "I'd like to join up again. I'd give it another go if I could."

If I am blessed enough to live to 109, I'm only going to have two things to say. Get me a beer, and change my diaper.
