Jonjon79 13,340 Posted July 18, 2020 Report Share Posted July 18, 2020 Considering all of the total shite in the news over the last 6 months - this was a very welcome good news story. Good on the old boy - I hope he's got a few years left in him to enjoy it 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Greb147 6,808 Posted July 20, 2020 Report Share Posted July 20, 2020 (edited) I met this legend a few year ago whilst working in Sheffield, his name is Cyril Elliot and he was in the Normandy Landings at Sword Beach. I hope he's still going strong God bless him, will be about 100 now if so. Edited July 20, 2020 by Greb147 11 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I just noticed the old fella struggling with his case with every c**t just walking by him so I went over and carried his case to the bus stop for him. He was travelling to Normandy bless him for the anniversary of the landings. Edited July 23, 2020 by Greb147 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
