Bernard the Great Escaper

[Mayfly]

Bernard the 90 year old veteran who absconded from his care home to go and celebrate the D-Day landings and who died in December left his saving of £600k to the RNLI. His wife died one week after he did. His medals were also for £1600 [estimate £300] and that money also went to the RNLI.
