George Brown, chairman of the Royal British Legion’s Arborfield branch, said: “George was absolutely fantastic – we all loved and adored him.
“He gave everything for us, so we could be here, he went to war for us – I wouldn’t be here, my children wouldn’t be here
“We owe this guy everything, our way of life, our culture.”
“There’s nothing I can say that can ever express the love, and the gratitude, that we owe him, because what he gave us is just huge – it’s immense,” Mr Brown added.
