TRIBUTES TO HENRY ALLINGHAM
That this House welcomes the decision of the French government to award the Legion d'Honneur, France's highest badge of courage, to Henry Allingham; expresses admiration for the way in which the 112 year-old has in recent years conducted himself with dignity and pride in reminding people in this country of the horrors of war and the sacrifice and courage shown by our servicemen and women; calls on the Government to honour Mr Allingham in a manner equivalent to that decided upon by the French government; and welcomes the campaign by the Brighton-based Argus newspaper to achieve this.
