The memories come rushing back for Cpl. George Beardshaw while laying a wreath at the cenotaph in London.
The 100-year-old veteran of World War II is the last of his buddies still alive.
“The honour means a lot to me,” said Beardshaw. “I used to sit at the cenotaph with some of my friends, but they aren’t here anymore”.
On what was a perfect day for a ceremony, Beardshaw sat with his long-time caretaker Judy Helle on Saturday morning.
“He’s my best friend,” said Helle.
Helle, whose father, grandfather and great uncle all served in the world wars, has been caring for George, his late wife and other veterans for decades.
