      My Late Grandfather was a Chelsea Pensioner, he was proud to sit in Salisbury Square in his Scarlet Coat. He loved having his photo taken with passers by.

    I saw his audition on BGT, I wanted to leave a comment but they are disabled as you all know. The reason why I leave this comment is because I'm proud to say that my Late Grandfather was a Chelsea Pensioner , he served his Country like everyone else did during Englands darkest hour . Away from his wife and three children for years on end , my Grandmother God rest her soul didn't know if he was dead or alive during the war . Away from his 3 children My Uncle my Mother and my younger Uncle , whos name I have today . He proudly swerved his Country in times of need , and died as a Chelsea Pensioner, he is now forever interned in the soil of the Chelsea Hospital Cemetery. He passed away 20 years ago at the young age of 95 and a half years old. Grandad Grandma you're together again now , one day I'll meet up with you and my Father and my Uncle I never met , your youngest son David. Love David.

    He's a talented singer who wouldn't dream of playing on the heart strings to get ahead.
