Henry Allingham

The world's oldest man has died, and he was a great, great man.

He was a pilot during the First World War, and a founding member of the RAF, the last one of those to ever live. He fought in the Battle of Jutland, and was the last survivor of that battle.

Now that he is gone, there are only 4 World War 1 veterans remaining, 3 of them are aged 108, and the other is 111. Henry Allingham was 113.

Henry Allingham was a hero. May he rest in peace.

Peace and Love
xx
