We saw him in 2010 when he came down to greet the 10 Tors walkers, including FoL2, as they completed their excursions. Still mobile & looking very fit & sprightly for 89 he appeared then as if he could go on indefinitely.

He’s had that royal gig pretty much since he walked over the picket lines at the Beeb.
