Yorkie said:dinner in Portsmouth tomorrow evening with the HMS Hood Association.
It was a marvellous dinner (the food was nice too)
There is just one remaining survivor now, from the sinking of the Hood in 1941 (my Dad served on her from 37-39) from the 3 that survived. Over 1400 men died that day.
One of the veterans there last night was 107 and still got all his faculties.
