    Sad news. Daphne Dunne has passed away, and just days after she turned 99 too. RIP. :(

    Found the passing to be quite unexpected. She seemed to be in good spirits at the hospital and I thought she would pull through.

    No. I just found a video online. In fact im not even British im Indian.

    I am very fascinated by Dunkirk and last survivors of WW2 battles and stuff especially.
