Fabulous old boy. Total respect to him. Hiding his medals under his coat, he swore his wife Irene to keep mum, picked up two Iceland carrier bags – and calmly walked out of The Pines retirement home where they both live, as if he was just off to the shops. Instead, he walked to Brighton railway station, boarded a train for Portsmouth Harbour and bought a one-way Brittany Ferries ticket to Caen, Normandy.
