Harold Jellicoe Percival died aged 99. he was ground crew for the dambusters.

he had no family and never married.

It was his funeral at 11am. today.

his care home asked the general public if a few would help honour this man they never knew by attending what would have been a small funeral.

HUNDREDS turned up! I've just seen it on tv and it's moved me to tears.

It was lovely, but I also thought it was so sad that he was on his own all this time.

I also bubbled quite a bit during the Festival of Remembrance, especially with the Poppy Girls.

It did say, however, in the ITV news that he had a nephew! XX
