There can't be that many left though, or ones that are fit enough to attend, as they'll be a min of almost 99, even if like my late father, they only served in final 6-9 months of WW2.

Most of the unit veterans associations that I used to help with back in the 90's have all long since wound up in the past decade or more as the numbers left dwindled below the 50 mark.
