RIP Vic Viner beach master at Dunkirk and survivor of the Atlantic Convoys.

and, if you like that sort of thing (which I do), Sir Neville Marriner.

Brave man, RIP

The stuff that generation saw, I am so glad I haven’t. My parents did.

It’s amazing who Vic Viner’s granddaughter is. That’s what I call social mobility. It’s what they fought, and then voted, for. Folk need to look back at the millions of heroes, what they gave us, and how it’s been squandered…
