So sad .... I do hope someone can attend... @middleaged_mom
In re-affirming your faith in humanity news: it all started with a tweet.
The BBC reports hundreds of people from across the UK attended the funeral in Lancashire of the World War Two veteran.
Harold Jellicoe Percival, who was known as Coe, served as ground crew on the famous Dambusters raids carried out in May 1943 by 617 Squadron.
Mr Percival, who died last month aged 99, never married or had children.
Mr Percival's nephew, Andrew Colyer-Worrsall, said the attendance was "just remarkable".
