    She’s wrong though. It’s a vocative comma and is appropriate for the circumstance.

    Oops, just read what JamDrop has put - sorry for duplicating.

    So people having a go at his family for going abroad over Christmas are trolls just for having an opinion. Yes as the article says it was legal for him to go but that doesn't mean it was the right decision. His holiday photos show him with locals not social distancing. Influencers have been targeted for ages for being in Dubai and now Mexico but for all in this together it appears the stay at home rule can be bent to favour some.

    Tom was in the Army and is 100 but I don’t think it was the Roman Army

    Terrible news. Little comfort to his family but they will have some really good memories of the last year of his life. He's gone out a national hero

    R.I.P. Sir Tom. A true hero. A true legend.
    The world is a poorer place without this gentleman.

    A sad way to end his life after fighting in Burma and raising millions for the NHS but at least he had a good holiday before departing this life.
    RIP Sir Tom

    A good innings; ton up and a life well lived. Ticked all the boxes and lived with a purpose until the end.
