World's oldest man dies

Henry Allingham, the world's oldest man has died at the age of 113. He was one of the last surviving veterans of World War 1 and the last survivor from the founder members of the RAF. Now when someone dies at such a great age i am always fascinated by how much "history" they have seen in their lives. Henry was born in 1896 so:

• Despite being a founder member of the RAF was 7 before man actually first took to the air in an aeroplane
• Was 9 when my grandmother was born
• Was 22 when World War 1 ended
• Was nearly 40 when my parents were born
• Was nearly 50 when World War 2 ended
• Was 56 when Queen Elizabeth II came to the throne
• Topically was 73 when men first landed on the moon
• And was 75 when i was born!
