Yes very sad .I wonder whether he contracted Covid on his recent visit to Barbados where my son is currently posted? It had been pretty clear over there but in the last couple of months things had deteriorated with many restrictions now in place.World War II veteran, served in India, lived to 100, raised £33 million for the NHS.
Lived a very interesting and full life I imagine, very sad but I hope his family take solace in that. RIP.
