UK's oldest veteran recalls Zeppelin raid

Britain's oldest war veteran has stepped back in time to recall when the country first came under aerial attack.

Henry Allingham, 108, was a Royal Naval Air Service mechanic in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, when the Germans launched a Zeppelin raid on the port in 1915.

Read the rest at the BBC. May we all look so good at 108. . . .
