Veterans unite for VIP visit

A group of veterans had the chance to get close up and personal with historic military vehicles at a South Holland cafe.
Among them was 100-year-old former World War Two pilot Ron Penniston, ex-Paratrooper John Moran, former medical corps member Bernie Shaw and ex soldier Tony Tognery. They are all from a Black Swan Care Group home and travelled to the Anglia Motel, Fleet Hargate, on Saturday where they had a VIP tour by motel owner and veterans’ fundraiser Harold Payne.
The event was sponsored by the Royal British Legion to coincide as closely as possible with D Day commemorations on June 6.
