The Great Escape

Loved the story of the 89-year-old WWII veteran who was told by the authorities of the care home where he lived that he was not allowed to make the trip to Normandy to join in the 70th anniversary commemorations of D-day.  So what did he do?  He put on his medals, covered them with his raincoat and sneaked out to catch a cross-channel coach with his friends.  All power to his elbow - you can't keep a good man down!!
