Glad to see him out and flown upto Sandringham for Christmas with the family but he doesn't look well.

Unfortunately the sad fact we all get old and at 98 not much time left.

Outspoken at times but a decent bloke all the same.

I wish him well, can just imagine him and The Queen sat enjoying their dinner, I'm sure he'll enjoy a good cracker joke  :D

I remember seeing (IIRC) a 107 year-old Frenchwoman interviewed on the BBC news. She'd apparently still been riding her bike 'til 102! The presenter asked her "What sort of a future she saw for herself" and she answered, "A short one!"
