I just found out this about an hour ago, such a shame, genuine humble and thoroughly nice man. Someone I would have liked to meet. Rip Sir.

Together Forever

Lonely days are long
Twilight sings a song
All the happiness that used to be

Soon my eyes will close
Soon I'll find repose
And in dreams, you're always near to me

I'll see you in my dreams
And then I'll hold you in my dreams

That is very sad, what a legacy to leave. That's going to be so hard for the family after such a triumphal year, now the intrusion into their mourning, though they must be so proud.

Remember Captain Sir Tom by his own saying:
"Tomorrow will be a good day"
Thankyou Sir Tom for being a shining light in these dark times, your work is done, time to rest.
RIP

He was truly a shining beacon in these gloomy days, an inspiration to each and everyone.

Stand easy brave soldier, your duty is done. Never to be forgotten. Rest in peace.
