Perhaps the last self reliant generation that got on with it themselves without griping all the time.
I can imagine today's mollycoddled shower complaining that no one laid on a chauffeur driven limo and five star accommodation. Together of course with some compensation for the inconvenience of having to fight a war and now having to the attend the ceremony in Northern France. Having it in the south or maybe Spain would be much nicer!

Respect to you mate and god bless RIP.

Dear All

Hello

Rest in peace, Mr Bernard Jordan.

They simply don't make them like you anymore.

With much respect and deepest sympathy to his family and friends.


Sincere wishes
