Bumped in to this fella a few years ago when I was working in Sheffield. I could see him struggling with his case and nobody had the decency to help him out. I went over and asked him if I can carry his case for him to the bus stop. On the walk I got nattering to him and it turns out he was going to France for some sort of memorial. He was part of the Normandy Landings, God bless him.
I hope the legend is still going strong, he will be at least 100 now.
