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

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.

In Flanders Fields
Poem by John McCrae 1872-1918
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard 'mid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep
Though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
* •.♥.•** •.♥.•** •.♥.•** •.♥.•*
Somewhere beyond the sunset,
where happiness never dies,
you live in a beautiful garden,
above the clear blue skies,
although we cannot see you,
you’re with us every day,
and all the love we have for you,
will never fade away.

LOVE ALWAYS,Anne .xxx

ALWAYS IN MIND
⊱♥⊰ ⊱♥⊰ ⊱♥⊰ ⊱♥⊰ ⊱♥⊰ ⊱♥⊰ ⊱♥⊰ ⊱♥⊰ ⊱♥⊰
Time has stood still for those who love you,
the grief is still fresh, their hearts are still blue.
Memories can ease pain but they never can fill,
the space that is left when they think of you still.
So stay near to those who miss you each day,
for they carry a sadness since you went away.
Send the strength to cope where others have tried,
and some love for their hearts that hurt deep inside.

FEELINGS OF ME
No one knows how it feels to be me
Like a river my tears flow fast and free
As people walk by me I wonder what they see
Certainly not a person whose happy or carefree
At night I close my eyes & to god I make a plea
To give me strength to let the anger go away in every degree,
So that I don't have to live the rest of my life in a fantasy,
Where I dream that I live everyday in perfect harmony.
