I was deeply saddened by the treatment given to my good friend and neighbour.

He had been present at the signing of the armistice, had given loyal service to his squadron and his arm, and I was having to console his daughter against this lack of basic respect for a meritorious officer and basically decent bloke to boot, while seeing sycophantic outpourings of grief for a "personality".

I was upset by the contrast.

RIP, Jimmy.
