WW2 veteran Alec Penstone has now been discharged from hospital in time for a very special milestone. He turns 101 on Thursday, April 23 – fittingly St George’s Day.
Although his birthday party couldn't take place, we want to make sure he still feels the appreciation and love from the Island community, so we are inviting readers to send him their birthday messages.
Your good‑wishes will be passed on to Alec so he knows that people are thinking of him and how deeply his service to the country is valued.
Send Alec your message and help make his 101st birthday one to remember.
