( The Ministry of Defence (MoD) said Henrys funeral would take place at St Nicholas Church in Brighton on 30 July ) (A TRUE GENTLEMAN AND HERO)Tributes are being paid to Mr Allingham, described by Prince Charles as ‘one of our nation’s historic treasures’. "The queen was saddened to hear of the death of Henry Allingham," a Buckingham Palace spokeswoman said. "He was one of the generation who sacrificed so much for us all."

Henry died in his sleep at the St Dunstan's care home in Ovingdean near Brighton at 3.10am. 18 july 2009

Last month Mr Allingham, a great-great-great grandfather, had celebrated his 113th birthday on board the HMS President surrounded by his family.
Mr Allingham served with the Royal Naval Air Service during the Great War, later transferring to the Royal Air Force and serving at Ypres.

Robert Leader, chief executive of St Dunstan's care home in Ovingdean, near Brighton, East Sussex, said: "Everybody at St Dunstan's is saddened by Henry's loss and our sympathy goes out to his family."

Less than a month ago, Mr Allingham was declared the world's oldest man by Guinness World Records.
Mr Allingham celebrated his 113th birthday on June 6.

In March, he received an upgraded Legion d'Honneur from the French ambassador in London and was made the first honorary lifetime member of the Royal Naval Association.

He was also presented with a doctorate in engineering from Southampton Solent University and was made an honorary freeman of his home city of Brighton and Hove in April.

Mr Allingham, whose life spanned three centuries and six monarchs, has five grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren, 14 great-great grandchildren and one great-great-great grandchild.
GOD BLESS YOU HENRY A TRUE GENTLEMAN AND HERO xxx

:|:- DEAR ANGEL IN HEAVEN -:|:-

Dear Angel in heaven I know you're at peace
I can think of you now with my heart at ease,
Sweet memories of you I will always hold dear
As I know you are with me so close and so near,
When I can feel a breeze on my face
I know it's from you,it's given with such grace,
When I find a feather and look up with a smile,
You sent it to me through the clouds and the miles.
We will be together one day I am sure
My dear angel in heaven so sweet and so pure.
