I was genuinely saddened to hear this.

He has earned his rest more than most and I hope he is at peace.

RIP.
At least he had a very long life, although must have seen things we couldn't imagine in WW1.

Imagine how much longer he'd have lived without them!

He wouldn't, it'd just have seemed longer.

RIP Henry.

Now this is the kind of event that should be televised.
