Doesn’t seem two minutes since Henry Allingham died
Indeed. One of the most moving things I’ve ever seen was his forlorn attempt to get out of his wheelchair to lay a wreath at the cenotaph during the the 90th anniversary commemorations of the WW1 armistice in 2008.
There were just three living British veterans by then and all were at the ceremony. All died the following year.
Henry Allingham 112
Harry Patch 110
Bill Stone 108
