A very emotional event as 93 year old Arthur is now bedbound, but he still had a twinkle in his eye, when surrounded by the ladies.
Congratulations to Rob, Arthur's Son, and all the Family and Friends who arranged this very special occasion, and I was honoured to be asked to video it for the Family.
